There was a comic strip/sketch where scientists have a roomful of monkeys and typewriters, and their latest "Work" is clutched in a researcher's hand. As they go through, it's page after page of perfect Shakespeare, and they're going through with great excitement until they get to the very last page, they look in disappointment as it degenerates into "Ook eek ook". Anyone remember it?
Another puzzler. The 3G/UMTS protocols have the handset authenticate the network exactly to protect against fake base station attacks. How does the StingRay device handle this? Presumably, the major networks have all been required to hand over their root keys/certs so the FBI can emulate them.
Not necessary. It goes something like this:
StingRay sends out "I am a cell tower" message
Cellphone responds asking "Really? I am xxxx, who are you?"
StingRay uses diversity antennae to triangulate position as it receives, then sends out "Oh, nobody important"
Same here. They called me and my in-laws, claiming to be from "Microsoft Computer Support". I told them it was a federal offence to falsify caller ID information (The call came from "1-000-000-0000"). They hung up fairly quickly.
However, at the moment, Hydrogen is difficult to store safely, and takes a huge amount of resources to make. Moreso than putting power into a battery. Aircraft (especially) already have huge surface areas upon which to put solar panels for power generation to augment a battery pack. Look at the "Solar Impulse" project.

As other people have mentioned, Squid in Transparent Proxy mode, and a IPTables forwarding of all port 80 traffic to the Squid box will allow you to both speed up access, and optionally block/monitor the sites people are going to (and/or block ads, replace images, all that kind of fun stuff). Some simple reporting with Regular Expressions and perl/php/lua/python/[insert your chosen web development language here] will enable you to see who is accessing what, and how often.
A flywheel will smooth out any potential variations in the speed of the turbines (Which wouldn't really be a problem here), and a transmission will gear up/down the output, yes. But given the difficulty in controllably varying the speed and power output of the turbines, you would have a (comparatively tiny) "power band". When you have to change gear 40 times to get to 50MPH, you really have an inefficient system. A CVT could be used, but again you would have power being thrown away, and it still wouldn't solve the problem of needing to slip the input vs. the output. But Electricity can be generated at >80% efficiency, transferred and modulated with >97% efficiency, and stored with >95% efficiency, and you will already need a store of power to begin the reaction from cold every time. So why build 2 power generation systems (steam for motion and steam for electricity) with all the added complexity and inefficiency that brings, when you can make just one (Electricity) and use that for everything?
That depends on the crude. North Sea crude, for example, is "Light" crude, perfect for making plastics, but very poor for making Petrol (Gasoline, for you Americans out there). This is why, while in raw numbers the UK has more than enough crude to fill it's needs, it still relies heavily on trading crude for crude to get the "Heavy" Petroleum-rich mixes.
And how are you going to change the ~100k RPM rotation of the turbine into the ~1000 RPM (that's 56MPH, assuming P175/35 R14 tyres) necessary to move a car's wheels at highway speeds? And how are you going to vary the output speed from 1-1000 RPM in a easily controllable way? Or even the 0-1RPM at high torque needed to get a car moving? Torque converters and clutches throw the excess power away as heat, whereas electric power can be modulated (Using PWM, for instance) to produce 0-1RPM at maximum torque with almost 99% efficiency - Look at White Zombie, or the Killacycle, for examples of that.
At the moment, 64-bit FireFox will only run 64-bit plugins (As I know, running Windows FireFox Nightly 7.0a1 x64 as my default desktop browser, And there are 64-bit plugins on Windows for Java and Flash). They're working on it, though.
And most of the memory leaks are being caused by poorly-written or resource intensive plugins (Like FireBug), and they're working on that, too. "about:memory" in nightly builds now lists a complete tree of what's using the allocated memory, and more reporters are being introduced all the time.
Of all the things to take exception to in this train wreck of a story, you choose THAT one? I've heard of attacking a story's reporting/wording to try and discredit it, rather than countering the actual story itself, but really?
So, let's handle your accusation, shall we? People who follow the news love specificity, need all the gory and inane details (for some strange, sickening reason). I'm reasonably certain, if they could have, the article (and summary) would have listed complete details of the teller's name, gender, age, ethnicity, religion, medical history, even her complete genome, if it was available/allowed. However, they did not have those things available, or weren't allowed to print them, so they released the details they have, and are allowed to print.
To answer your question, I would feel no different had the story read "a black teller", "a wheelchair-bound teller", or even "a male teller", as the teller itself is a relatively minor part of the story as a whole.
And, to turn things around, how would you feel if the story had read "An 18-year-old woman has been jailed in Gastonia, N.C., on charges of larceny...", or "a 72-year-old grandmother"?
Oh, and "Richard James Verone handed a male teller a note demanding the money and claiming that he had a gun, according to the police report" is no more or less ridiculous than "Richard James Verone handed a female teller a note demanding the money and claiming that he had a gun, according to the police report", or even "Richard James Verone handed an automated teller a note demanding the money and claiming that he had a gun, according to the police report". It's just a single word that gives you a smidgen more insight into the story than just "Richard James Verone handed a teller a note demanding the money and claiming that he had a gun, according to the police report".
So please, get down off the cross, other people need the wood.
Listen to something with an opening speech over silence, like "Eve of the War" (Track 1, Disc 1) from "Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of War of the Worlds", or the bass-heavy opening to "Angel" from Massive Attack's "Mezzanine". You can hear some odd ringing/distortion type effects. Chances are this can be corrected, but I also noticed in the code a fair amount of loop unrolling and table flattening to increase speed. A nice touch, but it does tend to bloat the download a little. Admittedly, it's only text (Which, of course, is highly compressible), but still.
You can use rsync for this. And if you want it more complex and fully automated, you can add lsync to automatically push local changes to the "Master" server, and a post-xfer-exec script on the "Master" server to push changes back out to the other "Slave" servers (If they're connectable). I'm intending to put this in place for a multi-way (3, in this case) sync system myself.

The average Internal Combustion Engine weighs around 200 kilos, not including fuel tank, transmission and exhaust system. Just ask any EV converter.

What do you know, it's already cancelled!
And Cyberspace was the new Information Superhighway...
As previously mentioned, there are already x64 versions of Flash and Java under Windows x64. I'm using them now, in my x64 FireFox Nightly.
Yup, Windows Nightly FireFox builds have been available in 64-bit for almost a year now.
And perhaps a better link would be http://areweslimyet.com/
They ARE focused on solving memory issues: http://blog.mozilla.com/nnethercote/2011/05/23/a-better-aboutmemory-stage-1-75/
