What meds were you on at the time? I've heard the seek command used to play musical tones (shave-and-a-haircut), but I've never heard of it damaging a hard drive. When you give a seek command to the drive, it ramps the acceleration and speed that the heads move to give a smooth stop at the position that you request. There's no way you can cause an oscillation, because there is no overshoot. This might have been possible back in ST-506 days (early 80s), where the seek was done by an external controller - assuming the controller was poorly designed.
I'm a hardware guy and I haven't attempted to solder a SMD by hand in the last 10 years. Typical flash memory pin spacing is 0.5mm. I drink way too much coffee for that.
Orion overlapped a non-DARPA project called SNPO (pronounced "Snow-Poe") which was concerned with practical nuclear-powered space vehicles. For some reason, spewing radioactive material into the atmosphere became unpopular and the project was shelved, but not until working engines had been built and tested.

The point of the article is that a part human embryo was created, although probably not viable. The article discusses this research opening the door to future work, and we can only guess where it will go. As for radical religion, look at the Raëlians. They sponsored cloning research. Religion is a force, but it can be directed toward various ends by the people who control it.
Your definition may be as good as any; but any definition will have ragged edges near birth and death. People are all different and in different circumstances.
If you want internet access and are satisfied with this, then I will sell you $100 Red Sox tickets for $10. It will look just like you are at Fenway, but you will actually be seeing the game with ads on a TV screen.
Your definition has a big problem. What will an embryo which is part human and part something else be? Will it have 90% rights? One of the things this research will lead to is splicing in DNA from other sources - human or animal - in order to modify the genome.

You seem to be forgetting that copyright is a constitutional right. The original copyright term was 14 years plus one renewal.

Not if they have a business relationship with you or they are calling from outside the country.
I wonder if pressing "9" gives them any basis for claiming that you have agreed to the call? And if you don't press it, then you don't find out who its from.
That would be true if when I walked into a store they told me that I was signing a licensing agreement instead of "buying software". Go ahead and ask at Staples. They actually believe that they are selling something.
But the media that a game comes on is equivalent to the cardboard that your screwdriver came with. Its not the part you use, just the vehicle to carry it. The game itself is the "screwdriver", so yes it is a good analogy.
Q. How do you tell if someone is a yuppie. A. If they have ever opened a can of paint with an electric screwdriver.
You aren't looking at the big picture. Imagine what calamity would have ensued if American Ninja had been elected to Student Council. Slaughter at Homecoming. Beheadings at Pep Rallies. Eviscerations at the Winter Ball.
Oh. A company going open-source, donating code, standard UNIX compliant, enviro-concerned? You mean like Sun? That's just what the MS board would want in a CEO. </sarcasm>
No - mod both you and OP down for posting without reading the article. He wasn't imprisoned. He had to pick up trash and pay costs. The system worked just about right.
Barracuda knows about the problem and gives out instructions on how to turn it off. They deliberately set the default to bounce spam to innocent victims because it is free advertising.

Which issue? The idiocy of using BMI for anything or the overprotective parents?
Dante Hicks, is that you?
I was unaware that Thunderbird supported meeting scheduling and calendar update.

Q. Does the law of supply and demand still hold?
A. Yes.
Q. Do Japanese companies want a larger pool of engineers so they don't have to pay as much?
A. See above.

I knew GM was not serious about electric cars when they named their first design the Impact.
"What if they had managed to land in the datacenter of a major financial institution?"
Then some rich people would lose some money while a bunch of other rich people would make some.
"What if it were a nuclear power plant supplying electricity to millions of homes?"
Oh my gosh. Power might go off for 2 days while the problem was sorted out. Do you remember the ice storm in Canada in 1998? Didn't think so.

Part of that $50 may also be the loss in fees from the vendors that wanted to add their craplets to the base system.

If I did that, it would cut about 50% of my spam load as well. Unfortunately, we have customers in .cn
