This is no different than booting a LiveCD and changing the Windows password from a Linux LiveCD running with access to the same storage device. This is not a flaw in AWS in any fashion, other than illustrating the trust you place in AWS having access to your physical devices. Why is this news? This is a standard if-you-have-access-to-hardware-you-can-have-complete-control-over-everything-on-it-not-encrypted problem.
Couldn't we just say 500gb up front and be done with it, instead of having a bogus multiplier on a meaningless size? What's next, "this hard drive holds 30 Library of Congresses, which are each 6x the capacity of a regular library?"
Many bacteria use metal reduction as its way of obtaining energy, in fact, and also obtain these metals from rocks, so... yeah, your point about bacteria seems false. (Iron, sulfer, selenium, sulfate, nitrite -reducing bacteria all exist.)
I believe it is entirely within one's rights to stand outside the station protesting, perhaps with your portable 4th Amendment sign; and as a Boston resident, I think I'll be carrying around such a sign when I ride the subway in the future.
Scientific computing too. I dream that the abundance of many-core machine will lead to more hobbyist advances in scicomp; perhaps better simulations of liquid flow, or turbulence, or erosion, or plant growth? all these fields need work, and all of them are much more accessible when parallelizable.
Man, if Lot befriended an angle, he must've been smoking something pretty interesting.
I'm possibly missing your sarcasm here, but many books give many people funny ideas: 1984, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Complete Guide to Sex Positions, etc. I think a good number of these are useful books (although, here on/., not the last of those in all likelyhood.) and should not be banned.
Is it? I thought the asses who took over Iraq prohibited gun ownership initially, and only recently made it legal for the head of a household to own a single gun. I could be wrong, but I can't find a citation either way.
It depends on the frequency of mutation. There are mutations that are very common, adn those that are rare; thus, if you only are dealing with where 26 introns are located, you're probably going to have a _lot_ of collisions for the most normal people. Note also that DNA replicase has exonuclease activity: it'll attempt to repair mutations everywhere. So, for people without a lot of mutations, who don't have rare mutations, their info generated this way will be essentially equivalent. It really takes a bio student to create a good DNA-based fingerprinting method, but I can shoot at this one a little.
It is interesting, but early legal doctrine was hugely tilted toward the rich; and much of the lack of Justice, Liberty, and Truth that you complain about occured with the movement toward more democratic (not republican) USA government. Nevertheless, it may be argued that the USA never stood for justice or truth, and perhaps not liberty either.
So this is why the government felt it necessary to fly planes into various gov't offices: they were creating controlled, limited-scope emergencies to test their ability to remain functional. Clearly the president was warned beforehand, but not many other people, and clearly it's really helped us shape up our response to such an attack. </sarcasm>
MIT hackers don't tend to do things that are destructive of property, and in fact tend to spend a good bit of money for temporary appendages to various campus buildings for their hacks. I don't actually know a single cracker here at MIT.
There's this thing called marcasite. It is often found with coal deposits, and is extremely flammable at temperature/pressure similar to that at the Earth's surface. Guess what a radio wave potentially exciting marcasite because it's overpowered will do --- it'll set the marcasite on fire, and as a result the whole coal bed. It's _intrinsic_ to coal mining, it's like breaking the gravitational laws --- you shouldn't try it.
Why does it matter if the founders are contributing to SS? They're hardly going to need to draw on it, so everyone else can continue paying in and later drawing out their money. Oh wait, that isn't how SS works? Drat.

Down with Beta! Leave Classic, or we'll go to Hacker News!
Who knows, maybe next we'll evolve gears to help us reach those things on the top shelf better...

Didn't you mean Kalligra? What kind of KDE program _is_ this?
Psh, you should know by now geeks are sEDENtary.

State level. Stop and Identify laws are not in force in MA.
In Massachusetts, you are not required to identify yourself.

In Boston, there is no need to identify yourself.

Meet my highly excited friend the Atom.
The Nokia e63 already has a mode-switch much like this.
How about in terms of power efficiency?

And your bodily fluids somehow get into them, and suddenly you're struck with paternity and a claim on your wealth.
