The difference between Iron Mountain and Google is that all of Iron Mountain's people are background-checked and bonded. I'd be concerned that Google likely includes a lot of young hormonal ideologues who who would think nothing of breaking confidence if it supported their latest "save the planet" cause.

You're still confused. He won't be reporting a loss. He'll be reporting a profit; but he'll be doing it now, before Obama raises the capital gains tax.
The proof that Google is a good search engine is the traffic they generate.
The way Google maximizes profit is by providing a service many people use, which in turn generates advertising revenue. Got a problem with that? --Don't use it.
I hate to burst your bubble, but that's what free enterprise is about. If you'd rather recreate Soviet Russia or some other failed socialist state, you're in the wrong place.
What makes you think that Street View misses Page and Brin? Even if you're too lazy to start your own "ethical" search service, the least you can do is give us the coordinates so we can see for ourselves the black holes where Page and Brin live.
Just what we need--a public search engine, paid for by taxpayers and managed by "public servants" who get to choose what's indexed and to censor whatever's not politically correct.
Libertarian is not a point on the Left-Right axis. From a Libertarian point of view, both the Left and the Right have got it wrong.
Especially, but not exclusively, wherever both the Right and the Left are screaming "There oughta be a law!", but they can't agree on what to ban, the Libertarian position is that there should be no law--at all.
Libertarians seem Right wing at times because we know that socialism needs government force to operate at all, whereas capitalism doesn't need to be shoved down people's throats, while it supports freedom and self-determination.
Put another way, the Libertarian view is that the Left is the greater threat.
It's not a surprise that there are a lot of unpatched systems out there. Java's stealth-mode installation pretty much guarantees it.
I know what I'm doing. The machine on my desk is one I built myself from parts (won't do that again; these days an off the shelf system costs a great deal less than the sum of its parts). Every bit of software is there because I decided it should be--or so I thought. This post got me curious.
I've never consciously installed or enabled java on this machine and yet, in the java program directory there's a jdk and three jre's.
Jdk?! I haven't done any coding in java in over six years, and not on this machine. Two of the jre's have the same time stamp, the third seems to be the most recent.
Let's look at the control panel--yup, there's a java icon. Bring up the dialog and auto update is not enabled. So I have an old version of the jre, an older version of the jdk, and no idea why they're there.
It's not that the signal is low energy, it's that the radiation is not at a frequency that can do any damage.
They could boost the power to the point where it boiled the water in your cells. That's what it would take to do damage, because the wavelength is too long to break chemical bonds. That's the neat thing about quantum mechanics; if one photon can't do any damage, neither can a thousand photons.
"Assume a spherical horse" is not an effective approach in this case.
People who care about their horses will ride them no more than 40 miles in a day--this is the "Boston Marathon" equivalent, with time off afterward. Endurance races can be longer, but they kill or cripple a lot of horses.
Pony Express stations were 10 miles apart--that's as far as good horse in good condition can go at a gallop.
A bicycle is faster and more efficient than an ordinary horse (racing horses are faster, but they don't go very far). Sometimes technology wins.
In 1969, IBM was forced to "unbundle" the software it was giving away with its hardware. This created the commercial software industry. If you're looking for a villain in the piece, it's the US Government, not Bill Gates.
Although there was a lot of free software around in the mid-70s (not the 80s) it was coming from hobbyists and academics whose livelihood was assured from other sources. Outside of these cushy environments, people sold their software and honest people bought it.
Since Gates had put a price on Basic, and he didn't have a soft academic job to keep him in caffeine and pizza, he had a right to expect people to pay him for his work.

Scratch a socialist and you'll find an autocrat. Oz got what it voted for.
It only takes one election to contract the disease; it takes a revolution to cure it.
It's a Canadian thing. In Canada, "The House" is the House of Commons--our counterpart to Congress.
Our counterpart to the White House is Rideau Hall, but there the similarity ends with a resounding crash.
So the technicians on the rig made a decision they weren't qualified to make, and the PHBs were happy to let them. Agile drilling?

Your confusion probably stems from your ignorance of tax planning rule #1: Sell when capital gains taxes are low and likely to go high.
What he's selling is a small fraction of his holdings. How do you think these guys pay for their toys?
The point is quietly following people who talk too much and using whatever information falls out.
a sea of abuse by commercial firms trying to attack freedom of speech and expression.
Given what goes on in other spheres, it's more likely NGOs trying to attack freedom of speech and expression

Why would I want to make a plant comment? My real name isn't Suzuki. Did I miss a joke in there somewhere?
Green light is very short wave length radiation--the threshold for photons that can break bonds and do serious damage.
It's not a surprise that there are a lot of unpatched systems out there. Java's stealth-mode installation pretty much guarantees it.

I'm supposed to know they should be patched?
how "short" do they need to be to cause damage?
You need to get to green light.
As usual, Health Canada gets it wrong.

The UN has no authority to ban anything.
The signatories to the Convention may decide to limit research in their own countries. More likely, they'll say they will and then do nothing.
It isn't a learning machine; it's a learning rat brain in a machine. The difference is not subtle.

So, if Microsoft invents it, it's not innovation, but if Apple uses it, that is innovation?
Both the headline and the article are overheated.

More than a bit of a stretch.
would it be safe to have a couple of ounces in your pocket while walking around the mall?

The 'r' is silent. It's LibbyOffice.
Actually, the reference is to a drink--the Cuba Libre. What could be more evocative of the open source community than dictatorship, coke and rum?
You need to pay attention to history.
In 1969, IBM was forced to "unbundle" the software it was giving away with its hardware. This created the commercial software industry. If you're looking for a villain in the piece, it's the US Government, not Bill Gates.
Although there was a lot of free software around in the mid-70s (not the 80s) it was coming from hobbyists and academics whose livelihood was assured from other sources. Outside of these cushy environments, people sold their software and honest people bought it.

Well,.. The Washington Post loved it so much they published it.
It's not Fox that keeps getting snagged on stories "too good to check."
