What we don't have are governments who want to indiscriminantly kill billions of people
Massive depopulation is one of the topics the wealthy who have our governments in their pockets discuss at their yearly conference. Some of those meetings have been secret. Some of the means have been reported as extreme.
we have paid scientists and engineers to design (at *least* that stage) cobalt and gold jacketed nuclear devices that would kill all people except for those who were in underground bunkers for years. I don't think you fully appreciate the level of twisted evil socialpathic fucks we have in the military-industrial complex.
you will not be doing any "underground" communication via HAM, that is illegal and the FCC will come to your door and confiscate your equipment and your license. illegal transmitters in any of the HAM bands can be located quickly, to the gnat's ass.
you are so funny. "if they shut down this internet protocol, we'll use that internet protocol".
do you see the common word in those two phrases? that is what will get shut down. Already cell phones in an area can be shut down, or only calls to emergency services (police dispatch) allowed to go through.
consider what would happen if the entire nuclear arsenal, or even a third it were used to make ground bursts. besides the fallout contamination, photosynthesis would largely stop for months. that would put a real crimp on the biosphere.
biology doesn't try every possible solution, it often sticks with a poor choice because it's just good enough. we also don't know if a bad solution was generated and wiped out all life a few times in the early earth.
apple could disappear with all its assets from the face of the earth tomorrow, and life would go on. If Exxon did that, there would be death and starvation for weeks in first world countries. Anyone who doubts this doesn't know how the infrastructure of the world is built.
about ten percent of oil is used for those other things, and oil can be replaced with any other hydrocarbon (natural gas, coal) to make any desired length hydrocarbon. so no worries about feedstock, we can go back to worrying about pollution.
you're saying we don't have engineers and scientists that wouldn't cheerfully work on something that could kill a billion people or more? a done deal, I can name two countries that have spent over five trillion (5 x 10^12) dollars each to build and deploy systems for just that. They also spent billions of dollars on alternative systems with a different type of tech with the same goal. I can assure you in this world we have the money, the will, the whackjobs.
there is no basis for saying it will be difficult to make in the future, could turn out to be a trivial sequence of proteins that act as a uniformly destructive prion to any mammal. Mankind has already built doomsday machines, don't count on wisdom or caution. Pointless? Suppose a theocratic society wanted to help their prophecies along, or suppose some cult leader decides his deity will protect or transform the faithful. Don't underestimate human folly or greed or lust for power. We already have many of the type of person who would do massive wanton destruction if he could.
PHP isn't used much outside of web development. If you have web python skills you can also do other types of Python (command line, daemon) work. if you can get a job, the python one will generally be higher paying because it tends to be used for more technical, engineering, and scientific type applications. But, there are less web python than web php5 jobs.
"the cloud", as offered by various vendors, is proving too unreliable to be entrusted with critical data. I'd never put my core data, or my employer's, on the cloud. Most companies feel the same way.
had to look it up, couldn't remember the word, but another organ that certain other fish (including sharks) have is called a valva or clasper, which is inserted into the vagina of the female. So sharks fuck too.
False, some fish do fuck. The male organ on some fish is a gonopodium, which becomes erect and is inserted into the female's cloaca. Such fish bear live young. One such fish you may have heard of is the Guppy.
he did admit he sometimes imbibed the dihydrogen monoxide: "Once, during Prohibition, I was forced to live for days on nothing but food and water. ". But he wasn't always a boozer, "A woman drove me to drink and I didn't even have the decency to thank her."
No, because the Higgs can and will be discovered or disproved without any such home user aid. the discovery of intelligent life elsewhere would be a more profound one than the final piece of the Standard Model.
No they are not, the total cost of the U.S. nuclear program from 1960 to 1996 was a whopping 30% of the military budget. That was an estimated 5.5 trillion dollars minimum. Not cost effective at all, and just consider the trillions more of cost of actually using them (even a one-sided nuclear war is hell on your stock portfolio, trust me)

there's always that other amendment they made to protect against "enemies from abroad and tyrants at home".

the oil market is global; one of the reasons we maim and kill in the middle east is to control influences on that market

Ruby does support a python, *in my pants*

This would suggest the existence of a sequel to Jaws based on the application of Rule 34.

good news about that latent zombification side-effect, it has been confirmed the vaccine turns people into an immortal zombie! we're saved!

I have a suggestion for an addition to their product line, for a "degenerate matter" stuffed toy shaped like Ted Kennedy.

within the device? put it on the 12V supply part, 8A, or let's all go to telco server type supples, 48V or 24V
Jobs took that idea with him to NeXT, the NeXTStation had such a display too.
