Not carrying out "eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth" (where does that come from? Possibly the WORST example of literary fairness/justice there is.
Definitely not. "One eye for one eye.", at that time, replaced the proven concept of "You stepped on my toe, so I'm going to kill you, every male in your family, rape every female in your family and kill them, too."
At that time, when ever-increasing vengeance cycles and bloody vendettas were the norm, "One eye for one eye." was a huge limitation on any punishments the injured party could dish out. And don't forget the same piece of literature also demands things like having at least two witnesses in order to sentence anyone to death and forbid the common practice of punishing family members of the offender if the latter proved to be too elusive.
They averted bad publicity and raised awareness for the fact that customers need to pay attention that they really get a Fluke device when they want to buy one.
The moon's close enough that we shouldn't bother with rovers, unless they're left behind by acutal astronauts..

Venus isn't all that interesting since there's no chance for humans visiting it in the forseeable future. And a rover would only survive hours at most. However, placing an airship or balloon probe in Venus' atmosphere (where it could survive for quite a while at the right altitude) might be interesting.
I still think that NCSoft is somehow convinced that a bunch of ex-WoW guys are going to build a WoW-killer.
I'd be happy if they build something that has some of the spirit of CoH/CoV. Weird, colorful, etc.
I'd be even happier if they don't kill it after two years.
CoH/CoV was fun. The right thing to relax for an hour or two after work. That's not enough to see most of the "content" of WoW, and unlike WoW, combat in CoH/CoV was actually fun even if you were just beating up trash mobs on the streets.
Takking a photo in public should be freakishly illegal in a "modern, developed country"?
There's a difference between taking a few photos and building a massive, electronic database of personally identifiable information without knowledge of the people whose information is being collected nor a way for them to check, correct or delete these records about them.
We're not talking about taking a photo in public. We're talking about taking millions of photos in public with the sole purpose of collecting personally indentifiable information on people without their knowledge or consent or any business relationship with them that would make such a collection necessary.
... having worked on a whole bunch of biomedical measurements (including, but not limited to ECG, non-invasive blood pressure and SpO2) in the last 12 years.
... and don't comment about the person. Find and document the mistakes of the supposed idiot (and make sure they're not actually brilliant and correct solutions), and the costs of fixing them. Hopefully, when the list gets long enough, the client will get the idea.
You could also have a switch/case approach and call the functions directly.
The thing is, there are some architectures (*cough*8051*cough*) out there where you could, technically, use function pointers, but due to architectural quirks, unless you really, really know what you're doint, you're likely to end up with a horrible buggy mess.
With the right technology, would it be possible to artificially change a stars apparent age, e.g. by siphoning off the heavier atoms in its atmosphere with magnetic fields?
Artificially modified stars, if they exist, could be a way to detect extraterrestrial intelligence over truly vast distances.
... of freely available information is one of the tools of the intelligence trade. Besides piping your personal data into government computers, there are probably a few departments that spend their days reading international newspapers.
Probably misremembering this, but aren't cancer cells often under higher oxidative stress to begin with, too?
They are more susceptible to oxidative damage since they spend more time in the various stages of cell division (where the DNA is especially vulnerable to oxidative damage) than regular cells (which spend most of their time not actively dividing, where their DNA is less prone to being irreparably damaged by oxidizing compounds).
However, fast-growing cancer sometimes has the nasty habit of out-growing its network of blood vessels, creating areas of the tumor that are oxygen deprived and therefore hard to damage by using ionizing radiation.

Why vote for any lesser evil?
I'm sure there are some power plants that could use peanut butter alongside their regular fuel. Its caloric value is about 7 kWh/kg.
Definitely not. "One eye for one eye.", at that time, replaced the proven concept of "You stepped on my toe, so I'm going to kill you, every male in your family, rape every female in your family and kill them, too."

You don't have to rewind them. They're pretty darn convenient!
They averted bad publicity and raised awareness for the fact that customers need to pay attention that they really get a Fluke device when they want to buy one.
Maybe Kim Jong-Un wants one for his personal, private collection? The legitimate channels for buying one aren't an option here.
Crashing the computer is a good way to make sure there's no virus running.

... humans will have become by 2029?
By the time a jury decides not to convict, the falsely accused has already paid quite a bit in lawyers fees and possibly had to post bail.
And there's a chance the jury might chose to convict anyway. You just need the right combination of players in the courtroom.

Don't you love it when they're legislating "common courtesy"?

You want to help? $80/hr
You tried fixing it first? $150/hr
I hope you realized which kind of software work this was going to be and priced it accordingly.
