CK-12 Foundation is a non-profit organization with a mission to reduce the cost of textbook materials for the K-12 market both in the U.S. and worldwide. Using an open-content, web-based collaborative model termed the "FlexBook," CK-12 intends to pioneer the generation and distribution of high quality educational content that will serve both as core text as well as provide an adaptive environment for learning.
Because I'm sure Google isn't taking this lying down, and pulling out all the stops to tighten things up. They've already threatened to pull out of China, the next step is for them to use their massive resources to *help* China human rights efforts. Sleeping dragon and all that jazz.
Several of the higher end remote starts (Viper, for example) will work with manual transmissions. They detect if the vehicle in gear (transmission sensor), and refuse to start if this is detected.
Before you go off the deep edge (too late!), the cost for cap and trade per American household would be $1,761/yr. You probably spend more than that a year in gas and other maintenance on your car.
The problem is you're used to cheap fuel, which in turn has provided cheap food and goods, providing a false sense of the cost of living. You may say "I don't give a damn about the externalizations of the energy I'm consuming, drill baby drill". In that case, I shrug, because wheels are already in motion. Investment firms and energy companies already are refusing to fund new coal plants because of the expected future environmental cost, and most car makers are being forced to move to more fuel efficient models. So, feel free to rant on Slashdot. It doesn't change much of anything.
Perhaps the same group China was using to pull data from Google? It would match with the criteria you outlined in your post (sophisticated attack, resources required, etc). Whomever is handling the LEO side of the Google investigation should get a copy of these logs.
PayPal is a business and they can choose who they want as a customer. Evidently they don't like you. There is no legal recourse in the US and there probably isn't in Europe either. When the government can dictate who a business has to serve, it is time to find another business to be in quickly.
But you *can* sue them for the theft of your account balance.
Very very true. Our business sweeps the cash out of Paypal into our online merchant bank account *nightly*, and we sweep *that* account into another count nightly as well. Paypal is a necessary evil, but there are ways to protect yourself (we actually discount our service if people switch from paying with Paypal to credit card upon paying our invoices).
If Google paid any attention to RROI of shareholders they would already be paying a dividend. but since the RROI of Page and Brin is the only one that matters they hoard all their FCF and spend money on projects they know will not meet the RROI of shareholders who are NOT Page and Brin.
Shareholders are notorious for demanding short term gains. This is why shareholders are useless (or, at least, uneducated ones). Intelligent shareholders (Warren Buffet) are always welcome.
If you're a google shareholder, you would've read the prospectus and known you were getting class B stock with no voting rights. Shareholders can go suck it up and take their pennies elsewhere if they want.
Somewhat true. I've seen huge amounts of bureaucracy, fiefdoms, and waste during my tenure as a business owner working with the government. I used to be a big fan of the government having a large role, but after my experience, I'd almost always rather have a private enterprise do it as long as the proper regulations are in place and severe punishments exist for breaking those regulations (cut corners for profit and your vehicle disintegrates killing your crew? death penalty).
NASA wasn't worried before. Of course you're going to say you're cool with private contractors when you're still the middle man. But now with startups like SpaceX getting their vehicles to orbit (which are designed to carry both crew, cargo, or both), NASA is a bit worried about being made obsolete (which is entirely possible).
You do realize that Elon Musk founded SpaceX to lower the cost of getting out of Earth's gravity well because he wants to colonize Mars, correct? I'd say that's pretty damn close to a "John Galt".
Don't like the odds? Don't volunteer to be the crew. I would *happily* take the Soyuz odds, happily work for free in orbit assembling a station or solar power arrays, etc. Safety is less important when you have a pool of people who are willing to roll the dice for a huge reward (getting to space).
True. But if you can make $100 million in one trip, deploy your payload somewhere where it can be recovered quickly, and are comfortable with ejecting somewhere in the event you engage with US aircraft, it's not a bad way to take home $90 million ($5 million for the aircraft, $5 million for your other expenses). No risk, no reward.

This is why I like projects like CK-12.

No No, I'm sure people in real life get crap all the time for having an imaginary friend.
Get a job hippie. Just because the true cost of energy wasn't exposed via the market means you get to whine about it.
Other ways to get to -2 are to suggest that you believe in God
Nerds (typically logical, scientific-method minded folks) not believing in a sky wizard that there is no proof of? SHOCKING!
It's funny you say that. I'm 27 and the only news show I watch is The Daily Show, mostly because it has no spin compared to Fox or MSNBC.

It *is* lower than geosync, so it's probably comparable to Iridium ping times.

You don't even need to follow the FAA regulations if you launch from outside the US (Pacific Atolls, sea platform near the equator, etc.)

It helps if you are close to one of those labs, or on an educational backbone.
Or can ride on ESnet

Seconded. I work on an experiment at the LHC, and we use EVO to collaborate with teams across the world. +1 goodness.
