Just because it hasn't collapsed into itself yet doesn't mean it isn't going to eventually. This is a very young star formed by merging several other together. Once it's fusion engine slows down, it should collapse. It's not like these things happen overnight!
Have you considered that the reason the processor numbers tell you nothing is that ALL the chips are fabbed with 6 cores and the ones that have one or two bad cores in testing have 2 cores disabled and are sold as quads?
If the chip can't run all the cores at full speed due to heat/power considerations and therefore either throttles back each core's speed or disables some cores under heavy load, than core counts are really just a deceptive pissing contest, aren't they?
1) Keep quiet and do what they say. In this case, the fact that they only want to discuss it verbally and refuse to leave a paper trail of their orders should be a clue: if anything happens, they are going to hang you out to dry, and you'll need a lawyer and a new job.
2) Complain about the request. In which case they are most likely going to fire your ass for complaining, and you'll need a new job.
3) Quit just as soon as you find a new job.
Note that in all cases, you're going to need a new job, so the instant they ask you to do something you believe is unlawful, you had better start looking!
Plus, on the moon or other planets, the view from the picture window pretty much never changes, so you wont miss it much.
Wanna know why we don't build more buildings underground on Earth? Because most areas have building codes that require a fire escape from every bedroom -- even if there are no flammable materials used in the structure! This requirement is easily satisfied with a window in an above ground structure, but would require an escape tunnel for every room if underground...
Google is not blatantly violating copyrights. As a common carrier that does not censor postings, they are not directly responsible for material posted to sites owned by them. In addition, Google would claim they have promptly taken down infringing material as soon as they were notified. Now, has Google assisted other individuals in violating copyright? Yes, and one could argue that as a corporation they should be held liable for contributing to copyright infringement. But they did not intentionally or blatantly violate anyone's copyright themselves.
You say that as if you think that rich men don't get a lot of different pussy, even if they are married... Tiger Woods stands as a shining example that the tradition of Alpha male having a lot more opportunity to mate is alive and well.
Birds and butterflies can actually adjust their migration patterns if you offset their starting points. Don't ask me how they do it, I don't think anybody has figured that out yet.
Mixing liquid nitrogen and 10,000 degree re-entry friction temperatures... no thermal stress there! There is a reason why your father told you to never throw hot water onto your icy windshield to defrost it -- this sounds like the converse, throwing really cold liquid into a hot tile. Unless the tile has a thermal coefficient of expansion of zero, I'm betting this will crack some tiles.
Not sure about the religious benefits, but there are tangible benefits to having a ceremony and making a public declaration of a contract before witnesses. When times get hard, those same witnesses will encourage the parties to work through their differences rather than doing the instinctual "cut and run". Pastors can be effective marriage counselors, if they refrain from trying to advise couples what specific sex acts God does and does not approve of (don't laugh, I've personally seen people do exactly that). Being member of a congregation does have tangible benefits as well -- from what I've seen, being a Mormon means never having a shortage of people willing to help you move!

Finding morons on FaceBook is not news. Finding someone on FaceBook that is NOT a moron would be big news, when and if it ever happens!

Huge props to the guy that managed to stick a thermometer in it!
Is that you, "Tuna Can" Tommy?
With my wife, they would have to twist her arm to get her to NOT shop!
I've been a FaceBook member for over a year now, and I haven't gotten laid even once!
The idiot! Everyone knows your supposed to smuggle Titi monkeys in a bra, not a girdle!
Uh... I was looking for "beaverfever.com" and mistyped? (Actually, googling for "Beiber fan club" returns that as the top result.)
If they run out of 3-legged dogs to study, we can always make more!
Can somebody please post al-Queda hit lists and bomb making info here
My wife says it doesn't matter how many cores I have!
Of course, my wife also said she wanted 10 inches... I just told her, "Screw you! I am NOT having it shortened!"

You say that like you have some personal experience with women looking elsewhere...

Look, you've got 3 choices:
1) Keep quiet and do what they say. In this case, the fact that they only want to discuss it verbally and refuse to leave a paper trail of their orders should be a clue: if anything happens, they are going to hang you out to dry, and you'll need a lawyer and a new job.
2) Complain about the request. In which case they are most likely going to fire your ass for complaining, and you'll need a new job.
3) Quit just as soon as you find a new job.

Change jobs.

Worse while not law breaking the amount of hate espoused and condoned on some sites boggles the mind.
Yeah, the microsoft-bashers on slashdot ARE pretty bad!
So basically people from Minnesota could just move there.
As long as their is ice fishin', yah... we need a chance to git away from our wives for a bit.

Dude, there wouldn't be any Mutant Ninja Turtles in the first place were it not for chemicals in the water!
