And how is a dog not good security if all that can happen is theft? Grossly overcharging for permits is awfully close to extortion, done by a government. Not giving exact specifications on what "security" should be, makes "lack of security" an invalid reason to deny a permit. If you want to set rules, you should make them well known and publicly available.
I'm all for regulating this, but you'll have to do it the proper way. In my opinion, the "free country, free will" thing in the USA constitution has been misused a lot, but in this case, it totally fits the bill. Make up some proper rules, publish them properly, and don't extort extreme large amounts of money out of people trying to obey them.
It's not about better and faster servers, it's about Oracle no longer selling their database software products for Itanium. Given your arguments, Oracle has every right to stop selling their software to run on competitors systems.
For some reason, HP seems to think there are contracts obliging Oracle to keep selling and supporting their database software products for Itanium and Oracle seems to think they have no obligation, since Itanium would be dead and buried if HP wasn't secretly paying Intel money to keep it alive. This would render the contract invalid in Oracles view. The key here seems to be that if HP had to pay Intel to not kill Itanium, Oracle has no obligation to keep supporting it. Probably they mean HP should pay Oracle a large sum of "secret money" as well to render them the same services they allegedly bought from Intel.
Don't we all just love these vendor lock-in disputes? Everybody makes money out of them, the companies, the lawyers and... oh, no, the customers are the ones paying for all this drama.
It's not about gravity, atmosphere density or any of that, but purely about the amount of energy required to move the sand. If there's enough solar energy to heat up the atmosphere, you'll get wind. If the atmosphere is less dense, it will require less energy to get winds to 80mph. that 80 mph is an arbitrary figure that shouldn't be looked upon the same as it is on earth.
There is a place outside whatever country you reside in. That place usually has totally different laws and a different government. There are about 400 different governments out there. Each of those has their own views on what is or isn't porn and if they should actually do something with that knowledge.
Not only that, but having your government decide on what's good for you, isn't considered "free". I'm assuming you live in the USA and not in the former DDR, North Korea or mainland China. Why on earth would you want the government to decide on what is porn and if it is, or is not appropriate to be watched by minors? Parents and the minors themselves usually are capable enough to make decisions on what's good for them or not by themselves, not?
Tape may have a failure rate, but if you test your backup systems like you should, and correct failures, build redundancy into the backup system and all that, you'd have at least three nines recovery rate, not 10%. Don't blame tape for this, horrible ratio, but blame yourself for not designing and testing an adequate system.

Also, putting the carbon dioxide back where it belongs is actually really easy. Just don't cut the trees and put trees back where we cut them. The rest comes naturally.
Obama's hideout could have been bombed with just one rocket from an average attack fighter. It takes either a very large installation, or a very stupid person to be the target of a bomb this big. Even if the first one isn't enough, the crater will make a good target for the second, third or fourth bomb. The target you're bombing isn't going to run and hide after the first hit, even if it wasn't sufficient to destroy it completely. Knowing that, it doesn't matter if you publish specs on this bomb or not.
It's all about who has the fastest gun^W lawyer in the West these days. The right team of lawyers will make any patent or copyright, no matter how insane it is, hold up in court. Yes, sure, SCO made a booboo there, but there are plenty of examples to support this.
So what if it's legal in your country to rip a CD? This is the Internet, legality is a matter of which country you and/or the buyer reside in at that moment, not what country the RIAA or the medium used to do the trade in is based in. Or is it? This is too hairy to give absolute answers on, because there are way too many situations in which exemptions to one or the other jurisdiction will apply.
Seriously, the EC2 cluster is already there, setting it up will cost you lots less than building it up from ground. Time costs money too on this planet. Also, most importantly, your 80 dollar box is not going to be able to store metadata on 5 billion web pages and process it at any reasonable IO speed at all.
Go build your own processing cluster and see how long it takes you to do that for less than what EC2 would charge. Once you're finished, you could make a business out of it and compete with Amazon. The last, obligatory step: Profit!
Designing supercomputers involves a lot of investment in inter-CPU messaging and memory sharing. Once a supercomputer-vendor has committed themselves to a platform, it's not easy to migrate to another. Given the volumes they sell, design costs will have to be spread on just a few actual installations. Maybe AMD was the best platform to use when these computers were originally designed, but they are outdated now. The fact that these new AMD CPUs will work in "ancient" sockets and use the same interconnects, will make development cost for a performance upgrade lower.
Obligatory car metaphore: Most car manufacturers put old technology in cars they bring out today as well, just because the cost of developing new technology and building production lines is commercially prohibitive.
I put "rainX" on my cars' windshield and the visor of my motorcycle helmet. Maybe this material will be usable for that sort of application as well? Yes, UV light is bad, but I have to re-apply rainX every week or two as well, so it might be an improvement.
I'm reading about money and "US Jobs" in the summary, but for some reason, lost lives due to malfunctioning equipment doesn't seem to be a problem. Sure, it's about weapons, so you'd expect lives to be lost, or it wouldn't be much of a weapon, but what if it's the "good guys" that get killed or deserve a life long government funding of their handicapped existence? If that's not important, you can buy much more inferior weapons, and replace the weapons capabilities with lots of US jobs in the military. That way, you'd spend less on weapons and more people in the US would be employed. Sure, if you're the US government, you should be concerned about US jobs, but at what cost?
Your assumption makes no sense. Why would you "sprinkle" 10% of cheap parts to be replaced with even cheaper equivalents. You gain a few dollars and risk getting caught. There are plenty of high spec parts that can be replaced with slightly lower spec parts that cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars less per item in the lower quality.
How hard is it to put the optional stuff on a second CD? Make sure you can run a low spec PC off the first CD and put all the higher spec stuff on the second one. People will have the choice to use either the DVD, only the first CD, or the two (or more) CDs. RedHat has been doing multiple CDs for years and years....
The tablets don't make much profit, it's the apps users buy that do. If apple buys these and trashes them, they will never ever enter the market and generate revenue.
Let apple pay a substantial fee in damages to the company they caused damages to. That, and a very large fine to the Spanish government for filing frivolous lawsuits and anti-competitive actions.
I wouldn't put any NAS on my network with less than 8GBPs FCAL or 10Gbit ethernet. True, the clients would only get a 1GBit hookup if they're not a virtual machine or a big database server, but 100Mbyte/second is plenty for plain data where I work.
The reason these algorithms can actually give a significant gain, is because most MRI scanners and other medical scanners use computers that we ourselves abandoned 10-20 years ago. I've seen SGI machines not being sold new anymore for over 15 still in active use on digital Rontgen scanners. The MRI they took of me was processed on a P3 PC.

Who says there's a 5 day grace period on .xxx or any other domain? There are plenty enough TLDs that don't have this irritating feature.

Mod me down for trolling all you want, he deserved the pun after not making backups for 15 years consecutively.

Out of order won't be very reliable, since there's no telling the Internet won't shuffle up your order a bit more.
Any time you see Alice and Bob are trying to communicate, you know they're up to no good. Every text book on security tells you so!

There's an awfully big chance the codec was determined and implemented way before Apple even touched the product.
