TFA talks about two other Martian meteorites which may have the same evidence inside. If this is shown to be the case we would have to assume that bacterial life on Mars is pervasive. This for me is evidence that low order life will be pervasive elsewhere, which makes me wonder why we haven't heard from the high order life forms?
Scientists were able to trace the meteorite back to Mars, as its chemical composition matched the relative proportions of various gases measured in observations of the atmosphere of Mars made by the Viking spacecraft in the 1970s.
Send a bunch of scientists to Mars for at least ten years. Give them vehicles for mobility and drilling equipment. Of course it is possible that bacteria were in samples collected by Phoenix, but it is more likely the answers will be in the rocks.
Its the same all over the third world. For example it is considered normal in Malaysia to stack piles of household rubbish beside the road. This happens in towns and urban areas. I saw one otherwise idyllic fishing village on Pulau Langkawi with a huge pile of rotting garbage right on the road leading into the village.
Every new generation will make some improvement as a few of their people soak up the norms from the first world countries. I don't think it has anything to do with the Government. Its just about what seems normal for the people there.
It can tell you that an eavesdropper is in the middle of the link, but this doesn't help you if you know your link is compromised by the company which operates it. In that case you can only look for alternatives or fall back to keys arranged over other channels.
Well yeah but reading up it seems that A person in the middle may establish two distinct Diffie–Hellman key exchanges, one with Alice and the other with Bob, effectively masquerading as Alice to Bob, and vice versa, allowing the attacker to decrypt (and read or store) then re-encrypt the messages passed between them. A pre-arranged certificate could be used to exclude the man in the middle but then the client may proceed with the negotiation anyway (to get their stuff) and the cert can be comprimised if it is sent in the clear over the same link, ie, by apt-get or similar.
But unless client and server agree on a private key in advance, by offline means, a Man in the Middle can still proxy the key negotiation and access the plaintext.
If I go to country X and commit A crime I would expect to be processed through the local justice system. If I skip the country before I am caught I would expect to be extradited back. That is what extradition was designed for.
This guy knowingly committed a crime on a system in the US while in the UK so I can see that there is an argument for extraditing him to the US, even though he may never have been to that country.
But it is easy to raise corner cases when dealing with networks. People have been accused of hacking when they used common exploits like rewriting URLs to bypass security. To take an extreme example: could I be extradited from Australia to Saudi Arabia for fixing a borken URL when buying a product on line from a system hosted in Saudi? What if I didn't know where the site was hosted and didn't know the laws there?
Back when I was at college and I had to write some cobol a friend of mine who was a biology student came past. She saw the code and commented on how easy it was to read. Maybe this thing is a bit like cobol.
The funny thing is that I clearly remember reading an article from the early 1990s about Newton application developers complaining about having to write all their apps in Apple's scripting language with a limited API.
You know, I have never seen a picture of him without his beard. It seems a bit much for OBL to be sitting in a cave looking exactly like the guy on the videos.
I have lived here all my life and I avoid places with hook turns, mainly because it is easier to get around by tram anyway. I have done them a few times. You have to be on the ball.

Humankind's only hope is the development of a hyper-drive
If so we are truly screwed so its a good thing you are talking crap. How did those pacific islanders get to New Zealand without 747s? Beats me.
You know, humans from Africa colonised the entire world several times over before 50000 years ago.
A DNA sequence from Mars would certainly be something. My bet would be on building a DNA instrument into a probe, rather than on sample return.

but do they feature Lotus Notes...
Oh god I hope not.
do they choose these numbers for a reason?
Robots would. Just like we would choose 100 companies and 10 organisations.
Not the best choice of sentence structure there.
Its a good idea to be wary of AIs with built in process optimisation.
This one gives me the horrors. Its something about they way she is flicking her left finger. I wonder what it is for?

If they thought DPI was expensive, wait until they try real-time decryption
Encryption can get you into trouble in the UK/

I need facebook so my wife, sister, mother, etc don't inhabit /.
Yes. All mouse movements will send automatic twitter updates.
I run ubuntu on my eeepc 701, which has a smaller screen than most other netbooks and I find the stock gnome to be perfectly okay.
So this bit of code ...on the continent, right? Or in Java:
proc_call(1.2,3.4,5.6)
Should be
proc_call(1,2.3,4.5,6)
System,println(1,2);
Except the Army?
You seriously expected to go back from pdf to svg? My wife exports from revit to pdf and she doesn't expect the process to work in reverse.
