It's kind of funny to read the definition of deprecate:
In manner that deprecates; insulting; belittling - to express disapproval of; to recommend against use of; to pray against!
And then read how they are enabling 'Sudden Termination' and 'Garbage Collection' - take THAT JAVA!
Not necessarily, but it would be interesting to perform experiments in outer space, on the moon, or in other environments to help verify that our results are indeed correct.
Thank you for linking the article!
"The heat generated by uranium and thorium decay is the driving force for mantle convection, and hence plate tectonics and earthquakes. This result and future measurements using the same technique will provide useful inputs to Earth convection models."
FTA: “People trying to tie reality together don’t have any data, just a lot of beautiful math,” said Hogan. “The hope is that this gives them something to work with.”
Everything they will use to explain 'reality' will be done with beautiful math. It will be difficult to prove theories and provide data about the structure of the Universe doing a highly-controlled experiment on planet Earth. I'm not saying that research like this shouldn't be done, but will anyone ever be able to provide solid 'data' about the universe conducting experiments on Earth? I would think you would have to do experiments in other environments, other than on Earth. All of the results of these experiments will have to allow for a large amount of beautiful math and a wonderful imagination.
"Dr Jaikumar expects the project to enhance understanding of the universe and the Earth's structure, as well as volcanic activity and how tsunamis are formed."
Oh okay, but HOW do neutrinos affect volanic activity and tsunamis exactly? Could we get a 1-2 sentence further explanation of what the heck you are talking about?
“Anybody that watches the [Star Trek] Enterprise, you know you don’t see huge plumes of fire. Within a few years we will see the first true prototype of a spaceship that will take us between worlds.”
So we are to assume that Gene Roddenberry had more insight on space travel and engineering than actual NASA engineers?:)
"Celebrity gossip - including false alerts about the untimely deaths of high profile celebrities - is a common lure to get e-mail recipients to open malicious e-mail attachments."
So the primary targets are those who actually care about cult of celebrity and those who never read anything about protecting yourself online, interesting.

"They also know the basic rules of the business of increasing revenues while cutting costs."
True, but not all hackers/crackers/slackers do it to cut costs and increase revenue. Sometimes, it is just for notoriety.
Then, he would have only lost 1 year of research! For a professor using a computer, he doesn't sound like he has a lot of common sense.
I am glad he got his research back, though. Very kind of that thief.
With KISS' classic rock jams such as 'Take Me' 'Hooligan' 'Dirty Livin' 'All Hell's Breakin' Loose' 'Any Way You Want It' 'Get All You Can Take' 'Thief In The Night' and 'When Your Walls Come Down', Gene Simmons should really identify with Anonymous, not try and attack them.
What is it about old rock stars who disavow their youthful ways?
"This solution is reportedly just temporary until the rest of the industry catches up."
But by then, they will have a Petabyte drive and they will have to catch up to that too.
FTA: "A big part of it was that we had to learn to make products the way the Japanese wanted products. We were assembling products in Singapore and sending them to Japan. And the first thing the customer saw when they opened the box was the manual, but the manual was turned the wrong way around – and the whole batch was rejected. In the United States, we’d never experienced anything like that. If you put the manual in this way or that way — what difference did it make?
Well, it made a huge difference in Japan. Their standards are just different than ours. If you look at Apple and the attention to detail. The “open me first,” the way the box is designed, the fold lines, the quality of paper, the printing — Apple just goes to extraordinary lengths. It looks like you are buying something from Bulgari or one of the highest in jewelry firms. At the time, it was the Japanese."
These standards create better products that are deemed superior. Once that catches on, then others trying to compete will HAVE to match those standards in order for them to sell. This is a good thing for everyone. For example, Japanese cars were (and some still argue are) far superior than US cars. In order to stay in business US car manufacturers HAD to improve their design and quality standards to even compete with the Japanese. Now, US cars are much better quality than they were in the 70s, 80s and 90s and this is a good thing for everyone.

He/she said the 'AMERICAN RIGHT' meaning Conservatives/Republicans/Right not just any Americans as your article mentions.
If you want more, you can read the comment right above yours. I'm not here to spoon-feed you...oh enough of the condescending comments.

Maybe that would work better?
Republican Sharron Angle more like, where she gives the questions to the reporters BEFORE they ask them back to her?

It's working just fine the way it is, so why change it?
A tiered internet is just another way for greedy businesses to further suck money out of their customers, that's it.
How about equipping devices with a small solar cell that can act as a charger in emergencies? Might be a good idea when the LIon no longer roars.
And after reading this, I probably never will.
If we can spray this on corporate lobbyists, we can finally identify who is stealing money from our citizen taxpayers.
This DEFINES it!
The end will come in 5 Billion years from now when the Sun becomes a Red Giant. The Mayans were wayyy off.
