Tides are a result of lunar energy, whereas wind is the result of solar energy. The sun isn't going anywhere for a long time and will continue to provide energy in massive amounts for a long time to come. The moon, on the other hand is much smaller and is constantly moving away from the Earth, reducing its energy transfer at an ever increasing pace.
Lunar energy is not sustainable, and the possible effects related to the rotation of the Earth make lunar energy harnessing a dangerous gamble.
Removing this energy from the ocean may cause an imbalance in the gravitational effects between the Earth and the Moon. Well, not imbalance, but rather a rebalance.
If we cause the Moon to move away from our planet, we lose both our astrodebris sweeper and more importantly our tide maker. Anthropogenic effects are real, and I'm not sure I'm happy to see the deliberate removal of energy from the ocean without further study on longterm planetary effects.
Who cares about China. Seriously. What happens there with Google affects most of us absolutely not at all.
Now, what is happening with censorship in Australia? What direction is the censorship, privacy, and IP situation in the UK going? How much more religious absolutism can the U.S. take before we head down that road too?
These are topics much closer to home with a much greater impact on us.
What a bunch of Google execs will do with a handful of employees in China... not so much.
Another way to look at it is that iPhone provides a solid single platform that developers can concentrate on features rather than UI and input differences.
When a government serves its own purposes it cannot serve its citizens.
The war that began in the 60s has finally come to an end, and it looks like all the players switched sides. These 200 odd years were certainly a nice time.
While it might be true that any application will take up at least a byte of memory, there is no reason malware couldn't masquerade as another binary down to the exact number of bytes.
Hell, Windows is a whole slew of malware that masquerades as the whole OS.

Iran Hacks US Spy Sites

I'm usually the first one to blame America when I see slanted reporting that seemingly puts our "enemies" in a very poor light, but this time I think we are looking at some pretty piss-poor Iranian folly.
Websites are passive. They respond to clients. They do not strike out on their own. So "hacking" them and shutting them down isn't really any sort of solution at all.
The Basij are a pretty rough security force compared to any typical military or paramilitary group. Despite their unprofessionalism, they are at the core of Iranian governmental security. They were instrumental in shutting down the election protests last year.
This is actually a good sign. Linking to single stories is fine, but aggregating stories and providing a complete picture in the summary is better than simply picking the juiciest quotes and pretending like it's any sort of value add.
First, you must establish the mean and median values before presenting anything useful. B====D
But, sometimes when I think of how much the government is spending I feel like this: B=D
Then I see how much direct and indirect benefit we gain. This encompasses both the stability of the banking industry as well as the day-to-day unemployment numbers. B========D
But what is really important is that we get universal healthcare coverage. B========D~~~~~
Knuth had his day. That day is the equivalent of building stone tools and hunting with rocks and sticks.
Today we are using bows and arrows. We have left the stone tools behind and can now express our imagination in ways that are simply beyond the scope of TAOCP.
But remember, we are still only using bows and arrows. The next big thing will be gunpowder.
We've had 3D graphics for YEARS in browsers. It is called VRML and it is a standard that has been with us since the early days of graphical browsers.
But the real question is who in their right mind will develop anything as ephemeral as a web page with this complicated technology? The time investment involved to come out with even the simplest of models is enormous. Maybe not John Pinette enormous, something smaller like Louie Anderson enormous.

Just a guess, but do you perchance use a Mac?
lolwut?
I suggest going down to the seaside and look at the waves hitting a big fucking cliff and consider how much energy is being tranferred there.
Were that I be so wise as to deduce the secrets of Creation by gazing upon the Scottish shore.

How can we monetize it?
Hey, can I do that too?

Is SecTheory a harbor for these malicious users? Why does Hansen have such deep contacts?

I read it in the summary.
Whether the EU is deciding specifically which ones, they have at least set the parameters for the selection.
MS is required to offer it as part of the settlement.
The EU is the one who decides which browsers are included.
Users would be better off with IE8 than any of those pieces of crap.
They'd be better off with FF or Chrome too, but by requiring a full selection, users are presented with all kinds of bad software.
Twins.
Exactly the same DNA, different person.

The nose is actually one of the few parts of the body that grows (and changes) your entire life.
Your identification card is updated on a fairly regular basis already.
I'm reminded of Feynman on the Columbia commission.
Always assume Isaac Newton-level political ability until proven otherwise.
