What's the point of C on Arduino ? (I'm writing an AVR/Arduino emulator, so don't get me wrong). Just an Arduino comes with an easy language to deal with (which is by the way a subset of C, kind of), with a lot of easy to use libraries. So why the hell, performances aside, do you want to make C on an Arduino ?

That's a bunch of LEDs glowing with a music. Hardly awesome, especially for slashdot crowd, who for sure knows that blinking a LED (or even four or five) is not rocket science. That's the first step for every Arduino beginner.
make the lights flash brilliantly in time with the music!
Whow ! THAT is impressive ! Let's throw some exclamation marks ! !!!!! !!!! !
So, I think I missed something. Seriously, MIT students made some LEDs glow according to a music. Fourrier, (very) basic electronic. Is MIT a college now ?
Knifes are 12,000 years old, at least.
Airplanes exist since dozens of years, you weren't even born, I guess.
Buildings were there, as well.
So what exactly did change ?
This is incorrect.
There has been assassinations since politics exist. Don't "remember", 100 years ago, anarchists in France, Spain, Ireland, mafias in Italy, central europe etc. ? History is *made* of assassinations. That's how (most of the time) politic systems change.
It's not harder than 100 or 200 years ago. There's not more willingness to die for a cause (remember, erm, religions ?).
As long as religions, hierarchies, chiefs, etc. exist, there will be assassinations. That's not new. What's new is the power the government(s) have to spy its own citizens, with a very good excuse : "The ability to do great harm with easily-concealed weapons has grown.". That's just not true, read your History books.
Why do the ITER managers believe theirs will be different? That I don't know.
Maybe they are trying to do some... science ? How do you want to achieve something like this without doing research ?
Is that badly managed ? Of course, politicians manage it. That's the case of nuclear research since its beginning, closed, politically based. Would it be better to think about this as a human achievement more than a country pride ? Yes. But that's not the way the world is, sadly. Anarchy ! \o/
(But I'm ok to any science experiment as long as it kills only people *freely voluntary* and aware of the hazard) (cost is too subjective, anyway).
He had a choice. He could find another job for example (whow, what a weird idea). Or he could live with less money (his wife maybe works). Or he could take his family with him. Or he could accept a subaltern position in his actual company. Or...
He has a *broad* choice, he just made one that was simple, albeit unconfortable for a while.
Ho and you know, as a teenager, I made this choice two times in the last twenty years. Please stop with the "booh, money is the only thing that matters" bullshit. You always have a choice, and money is not the only one.
"seriously, why are humans (who need food, rest, air, copious exercise and a million dollar toilet) still our primary means of getting work done in spac"
Because we are, erm, humans ?
You know, the vast vast vast majority of the rockets we launch aren't manned. So you are basically asking for stopping sending men in space, at all ? Or ?
"The bright horizontal line running the full length of the image is the galaxy's main disc - the plane in which the Sun and the Earth also reside."
Sun ? What's this ?
"Shit, I'd give anything if I could just buy a tomato at the grocery store that tasted like they used to back in my day...they were pretty much as good as home grown in the backyard."
Just buy them during summer, then (and check if it comes from a place near yours).
There are people dying everywhere every single second, so I fail to see how the hell you can "enjoy tasteless jokes". Jokes are, to my knowledge, always focusing on someone's situation.
It's free in France (at least it was 2 months ago). Coverage was quite bad in the 3 or 4 places I tested it, thought, due to the access point(s) always being far from the doors. But it was usable at ~20m outside the 'restaurant'.
Actually, I used to think the same way, but... I got an iPhone. And after some days (and dozen of keystrokes), it is just plain usable (even with my big-monkey-fingers).
"They use civilians as shields". Everyone knows this, but they still drop bombs (as precise as a gorilla throwing bananas), crying "boohoo we killed civilians, we didn't knew this !". They knew they will kill civilians, so israelians are murderers, period.

He prefers leaving his family for 6 months than losing his job. That's not "unfeasible", that's just "what he chose".
Ever heard about relational databases ? That's *exactly* what you are looking for.

There won't be scientists anymore in tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years ? :(
The probe leaved earth's gravity using a rocket.

FAT* is (are) the only filesystem readable by every single OS out there. Just insert an ext2 or NTFS or HFS* USB drive into any computer you can.
ATAPI is an ATA driver for things that are NOT hard drive (think CDROM drives, floppy, etc).

Burning grass is freeing CO2 right into the atmosphere. So that's not green, that's just oil-like, without the shortage. Worse than oil, IMHO.
"Cleanup" ? It will clean visible pollution, sure. To better throw it in the atmosphere. That's great. Really.
3D porn, anyone ?
Sarkozy. With a 'z'.
