Like us they are nasty, scheming animals. In Malaysia one time my wife sat down to put some steroid cream on our son's eczema. A monkey casually walked past behind the seat. Too late I realised the walk was just a little bit too casual. It reached out and snatched the tube of cream in an instant, then ran away and started to bight in to it. We were horrified at the potential affect on the monkeys but there was no way to get it back.

Its funny because the same grooves are on other small bodies like the moons of Mars, however these grooves scale with the size of the asteroid. Its like objects like this have grooves on different scales so if you look very close you will still see grooves. I think they are likely caused by rolling rocks. In the light gravity rocks will bounce along the surface, touching down every revolution or so and leaving a crater in the soft surface.
Wasnt't there an article recently about the bing search database being built by internet explorer capturing the input and output of google searches? Knowing that a person could do a lot of damage...
Countries like the USA and Australia have a lot of work ahead of them building infrastructure. For that they need to borrow. Old European countries with stable populations don't have the same problem.
A couple of years ago in Penang I took a tour of the botanical gardens. A short section of the tour took us through a stretch of native forest. The microclimate in the forest was much more comfortable than other areas. So break up the concrete and replace it with trees. I know this may not sound very feasible in the short term but it is the only way to beat the climate in the long term.
Hmmm interesting. Is this similar to the way a mixture of water and ammonia can remain liquid well below 0 degrees C? Kind of like the ammonia keeps the water molecules moving around and prevents them from freezing.
Few nations and police forces would like to be in the news for refusing such assistance.
Really? Practically every country on Earth has Internet access. Lets say the site in question is hosted in Sudan. Even if the local police in places like that care one way or another about CP, it could be months before the police turn up, and cutting them in on the profits could delay them indefinitely. And when the site actually has to move its owner in (say) Belgium just rents another server in (say) Chad, uploads his files and moves the domain name to a different IP address.
Say you are a builder. If you make a good building for a client they will come back to you for the next one. Software is different. They will install the next one from your distribution, unless you foresaw this problem and broke the software so this couldn't happen.

I think he is aiming for President of the World.
Maybe it ran out.

Why? How much do you really want to print?
I want to print a Japanese pop star so I reckon about fifty kilos will do the trick.
You really should read Dangerous Visions 2, though it might have been a mistake for me to read it at the age of ten.
Harlan Ellison is going to release "The Last Dangerous Visions" right about that time. What a coincidence.
But writing is so tame now. Everybody wants to sell the movie rights. Nobody writes about using masturbation for time travel any more.
Being born in 1986 makes you old now? Get off my lawn.
Some nodes can change their MAC address, so you just need to monitor the network for a while and spoof a good MAC address which is not in use.

What next, battle plans sent via MS .docx? :-)
Probably. How else would they do it? They don't have special message machines which self destruct in five seconds.
Saudi Arabia has lots of oil, has nothing like the economy or standard of living of Norway.
Averaged over the population it probably does, its just that one guy who has half the wealth.

Also use reflective fabric for the shade-cloth. Reflect sunlight back in to the air.
And in Australia it means Aussie Rules. Not sure what the word is for the combined GAA vs AFL game though.

why can't Interpol go kick some doors in?
Interpol don't kick doors in. Local police do that. In some parts of the world the local police have other priorities.
I pity the kid born on that day.
if the sites are so bad why not go after the site directly instead?
Its not like Australia can send Seal Team Six to any country in the world to take out a web server.
Why can there not be a public list of blocked websites?
Because the web sites are not blocked in any effective way and such a list would just be advertising for their services.
Thanks. I had no idea what that reference was about.

the real money comes from doing it wrong
The longer I stay in the software industry the more this fact depresses me.
