I don't think the Intelligence Agencies are that stupid.
This is the same intelligence agency which couldn't find a known terrorist who was listed in the Los Angeles telephone book, had a driver's license, social security card, and public record entries.
You could never cycle drinking water through the reactor as the primary coolant anyways, it becomes radioactive. iirc, helium, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide do not (or the nuclear products have sufficiently short half lives that it's not a problem), which also has the benefit of massively reducing the impact of a coolant leak (some people may talk funny until the helium dissipates vs. tens of thousands long term deaths from cancer).
You could still heat exchange from an inert gas to water, however, and most likely have more than enough heat to boil it or "crack" it.
The scholarship thing is quite amusing. In order to fund more tax cuts, student loan interest subsidies have been drastically slashed. I know a bunch of people will probably jump on me saying that we shouldn't be subsidizing these things in the first place. Please don't bother unless you're willing to give up your mortgage deduction handouts and communist public highway system.
How does elimination of due process, massive expansion of executive power, warrantless searches, and wiretapping of political movements do anything to prevent another 9/11? Hundreds of thousands of Americans have died to give us and protect these freedoms, why should we be willing to give them up because a couple thousand innocent people were murdered? I guess we're different in that I'd rather see my daily risk of death increase by 0.00000001% than give up half of the freedoms guaranteed to me by the bill of rights and live as a prisoner of a police state.
These are all great questions. Now that this information is out in the public, the public can hear the facts and decide what they think. Criminal charges can be filed if it appears there is a conspiracy. If there is no conspiracy, then a court of law can decide that after careful scrutiny of the evidence.
I don't understand why this information was withheld from the public for so long. If nobody has done anything wrong, they have nothing to fear. If it was due to hardware issues, the public should also be made aware of the fact that their voting systems are unreliable so they can push their government representatives to take corrective action if it is the will of the people.
Agreed. None of google's other products will be usable for anything serious until they are relatively reliable and out of beta. Some of these services like Orkut have been up for several years and still have major outages. If you write to complain, they explain to you the products are still in beta. Until google finishes these beta products, they're just toys. I wish they would pull the plug if they're not going to finish them.
Google's image will be tarnished eventually if they keep increasing the number of half broken beta sites. Their logo will become a symbol of unreliability.
There is always a fear that even a slight mention in a report or stating information that we shouldn't know and only know through a secret source or method will blow the program and potentially waste millions or, worse, put someone's life in danger.
Unless that person happens to threaten your war profiteering...
They'd have to move a LOT of transistors in order to pay wages, rent, utilities, etc. Even at an insanely overinflated price of $1.01 each ($1 profit per part), they'd still need to sell about 15 or 20 of those per hour, every hour, per person in the shop, to break even. Somehow I doubt there are enough tinkerers out there to provide radio shack with enough business to make money considering all the locations they have. I doubt this because I rarely run into people buying electronic parts at radio shack, and in order to have these kinds of numbers there would have to be a number of them in there most of the time (and you'd see huge crowds on the weekends). Most people buying these parts only use radio shack for something they need immediately, and mail order the rest. People don't spend $50 or $100 on components there when they can buy it elsewhere for $10 or $20. Compare that to a cel phone which can pay costs for several hours with a single sale which may take a sales rep 10 or 20 minutes.
imho, their real problem is that their overpriced electronic accessories such as headphones, video cables, etc. can now be bought elsewhere for lower prices. Best Buy and Circuit City have been showing up in more and more places, and offer items that traditionally could be purchased at Radio Shack, but not at typical appliance stores which were never big on the accessories.

You expect good work from the same people who wrote such poorly planned code that it necessitated this kind of text in the manual? Even if MySQL wasn't a featureless pile of garbage, it's only really usable for in house and GPL applications due to licensing restrictions.
It's not an RDBMS without Oracle owned innodb. MySQL fills a very different need than Oracle. It's great if you need a fast database for very simple data and your data is not extremely important. Also, you don't want to use it if you're selling your application to anyone as you will the need to incur license fees.
I'd bet that Oracle was planning to make it easy to migrate from MySQL to Oracle when your application grows, much like Microsoft has an MS Access upgrade tool which many use. This would allow a lot of the people with growing applications to switch over, instead of switching to something cheaper during a rewrite.
Basic economics does cover this. When the supply curve meets the demand curve at a point above production cost (or more realistically at a margin >= the MIRR), the suppliers will no longer continue production. Both alternatives and increases in efficiencies are covered by the law of diminishing returns, so we will likely run out of feasible alternatives at some point. We've got an increasing number of people using an increasing amount of a mostly finite resource.
We've managed to use up a large portion of hundreds of millions of years of plant decay in only 200 years of industrialization, most of it within the last 50 years. It's not going to last all that much longer.
How about an artsd that doesn't freeze every 45 minutes? The last stable version I found was in 3.2. I'm not sure what "more interesting features" could be added since KDE already seems to have everything, but doing this will only make it less stable and slower.
I found iWon to actually be useful and relevant for a brief period of time during the boom. Like just about every other portal and search which died off, they seemed to give in to greed and sell top placements, making it worthless.
I would attribute the brief success of iWon to it functioning well, rather than the gimmicks.
"pro-bono" means free. I know many lawyers who donate their time for free without ulterior motives. Whether or not the majority of lawyers do this, I can't say as I have not conducted a study. But it does happen.
You're assuming that we're trying. If the US government had found Bin Laden, the public probably would have assumed the war on terrorism is over and not supported the Iraq invasion.

Another potential explanation is that ADHD inherited, and fathers with it tend to not stick with the child's mother.

Try enabling uPNP on your nat device and using one of the 2.0 betas with uPNP support. It seems to have fixed a lot of issues for me.
Even the most diehard libertarian recognizes that fact, and accepts that sometimes extramarket forces are needed to correct such failures.
Well, not quite all of them...

They require you to buy a thinkpad.
My friend at one time bought "expensive" Altec Lancing 5.1 system
None of the "computer speaker" vendors are good unless all you want is lots of (muddy) bass.
Will they ever manage to finish this project, or will it remain in a half broken for eternity?

Couldn't this company just opt out of indexing entirely via robots.txt?

We can't find bin Laden on Earth...

Anyone can blast a few props to the moon. This does not prove that people actually landed there.
Let's see YOU do it.
