That's funny, I just saw an advertisement by Microsoft, boasting that their SQL Server program could handle 6 million transactions per day for Xerox...
I think that the problem of the immune system not properly detecting and eliminating the tumor has never been "solved" in the past billion years because it used to be very rare, and usually occur only when the organism was kind of old, and so had no effect on reproduction, hence there was no mechanism to select for individuals who had a better immune response. Nowadays, we've got soap, bandages, doctors. We live longer. Hence, cancer becomes a more significant issue.
Of course, there might be lots of people around with an immune system that does detect and destroy tumorous cells, but that doesn't get detected by medical specialists, because they rarely get cancer.
(This is of course just my opinion, feel free to criticize, if possibly constructively.)
That news site pretends to be down when you click a link to a page on it from Google? That's pretty stupid, they'll only teach people to not go to that site anymore, because it's down so often...
Now, Google literally steals the contents of millions of web pages, which most people have no problem with.
I have a problem with that! I used to have a really nice website, but then those Google goons came and stole it from me, and now I have no website anymore!
I'm pretty sure that a six-stage nuclear device capable of a multi-gigaton blast is a serious threat to anything and everything.
If those "aliens" can travel faster than light, why would you assume they can't just displace the entire nuke straight into hyperspace; blast, radiation, the lot? They might just have no idea of fair play...

The GPL isn't an EULA. The fact that many Windows ports and programs that have the GPL licence display it in the form of an EULA, is caused by (1) misunderstanding by the authors (2) the installer template which has a window to display an EULA in it.
Why? Since this guy has a patent, obviously he knows exactly how to build this device. So why not licence from him, and get his instructions on how to build it, and then when it doesn't work, sue him for fraud?
Sounds to me like it's VIA's C3 bug, not Ubuntu's bug. Maybe you should get a distro compiled for i586 or even i386 instead of for i686, as a workaround?
If you are giving root access to the machine to students, you do not need to put your preciousss perl application on the same machine. In fact, you need to NOT put it there, because even if you obfuscate it, encrypt it, or compile it, it's possible to reverse the process. Obfuscated code can be analyzed and understood, plus it's going to take some real talent and time if you want to do it right, so it's expensive. Encrypted code needs to be decrypted before it can be executed. Compiled code can be decompiled.
You might use something like a BSD Jail or some other kind of server virtualization, so it merely looks like your software is on another machine. If it is really important that this program remains your dirty little secret, don't put it on a machine which you don't control. Really.
But if you really want to put it on the same machine, try compiling it into a binary, and not draw any attention to it, to avoid people getting curious about it. Still, if someone finds it and takes enough of an interest in it, all bets are off.

One and a half billion Americans can't be wrong!

If you want to keep something secret, you'd better not patent it...
Yeah, I was about to post something like that, before I read your comment :-)

The difference being that only Michael Jackson chose to be white.
That's illegal, because its copyright will never expire!
Nope. A different author...
Nope. Hints: It's not Japanese, or a TV show or movie or comic.
30th Century technology? Maybe we'll have flying cars by then!
.9c would cost a tremendous amount of energy.

Right. That'll only encourage them to kill people who might get them arrested and convicted.
Don't worry, he just said that to make you think THEY aren't monitoring you.

But that still doesn't make it an EULA.

Well, it's probably more scientifically accurate than the Bible...
