Wrong you need a room that is scrubbed of CO2 and remains scrubbed of CO2.
In any room sized to comfortably hold a at least one person, that person will become unconscious if the room is anoxic long before the CO2 level rises enough for the body to detect it.
By the way, in anoxic conditions, the oxygen saturation doesn't gradually decrease. Instead, it plummets, since oxygen exchange in the lungs is reversed - the blood actually gets deoxygenated. Once the deoxygenated blood arrives in the brain (takes 10-20 seconds) it's lights out almost immediately. The brain doesn't take too well to having no oxygen, even for the briefest amounts of time.
In order to add a back door, it would need to recognize when it is compiling TC.
Which is fairly trivial to implement, as long as you can dictate what the secret sign should be.
So, next step: Run the TC source code through an obfuscator that messes with it in all kinds of horrible way _without_ changing what the meaning of the source code to a compiler would be. Then recompile and see if it matches the original binary.
Are we expecting it to go down, and are the Vorlons or the Shadows responsible?
Whoever signed the Hyperspace Highway Development Plan 67-A-8437 is responsible. The Vogon construction fleet is just following that plan and can under no circumstance be held responsible.
Instead of you calling in sick, your workplace will call you and tell you to stay home for the next five days, since you showed elevated body temperature on yesterdays IR pictures and they don't want you to spread the germs to your coworkers.
And what's worse, they make me less likely to buy things. Some of this aversion, of course, is due to the targetting algorithm thinking I want to be showered with ads related to anything I ever googled for or looked up on the web.
Keep your code in a way that makes bugs show up obviously and be easy to track down.
Nothing worst than having a fairly catastrophic bug (e.g. buffer overflow) that only degrades program performance slightly, but does not lead to obvious misbehavior.
I'm pretty sure the pictures are considered public domain, in the same way that certain other legal information is.
Don't know what the legal situation over there is, but around here, combining a perfectly legal action with a completely legal request can be considered a crime if the relationship between the two is 'condemnable'.
So, posting public domain pictures by itself is completely legal if it's done as a service to the public or something. Posting public domain pictures and then asking for money to stop doing so is crossing into the criminal domain, since there's no legal connection between the action and the demand.
Please do not spread misinformation. Germany has no such thing as a "single-payer system". Even if you're in the "public" system there, you have over a hundred of different insurers to chose from. The government merely provides a legal framework under which such insurers incorporate, it does not pay doctors.
Of course not. Psychos don't die that easily. He'll run the car into just the right obstacle that it'll decapitate the person sitting in the driver's seat, and then walk away. Or drive away. In a car with a decapitated corpse in the driver's seat.
... that making them hack-proof is equivalent to locking a fire extinguisher in a secure cabinet. Sure it's secured against misuse, but it's also no longer easily available when it's needed in an emergency.
You can "hack" any pacemaker with a strong enough magnet, for example. It's the standard method for putting the things in their emergency mode. "Securing" this mode would make it more complicated to activate in case of a real emergency and kill people this way.
You can dump the heat-shield once you leave the atmosphere and before you perform your burn.
That would work for the payload, but then you'll have a heat shield plummeting back towards earth with enough kinetic energy to do damage on impact, but not enough to burn up in the atmosphere.
Anyway. We could really use a way to get things into space that doesn't require the launch system to carry all the fuel with it, but it should be less silly than the slingatron.
The payload heats up quite a bit through friction - and then ends up in space, where basically the only way of getting rid of excess heat is radiating it away (slowly).
This is quite unlike atmospheric braking and descent, where the heat can easily be dissipated by convection once the payload has slowed down enough.

Second option. Having some spies in prison provides good leverage during the more shady kinds of negotiation.
The election was last month. She doesn't have to worry about getting reelected for several years.

Hate to break it to you, but this is the mirror universe.

Probably someone who thought that sticking a cable through your chest to change the things configuration is an even worse idea.
He keeps it in a jar on his desk.

Some vaccines rely on herd immunity, others (tetanus vaccine comes to mind) don't.

... and LPG/LNG on Titan. Lakes, if not oceans of it.
Most patent trolling is done using obscure "inventions" that barely (if at all) satisfy the criterion "innovative".
Apples marketing decisions now seem to be vastly more important than the actual product...

In the next horror film, the hidden psycho on the back seat won't have an axe or a knife, but a laptop ...

I'm pretty sure turning the thing off or setting it to offline mode will block them. If that doesn't work, remove the battery.
Now with bugs in your fries ...
There are decent sources of income, and sources of decent income. Don't get them mixed up.
