Because aluminum is only spelled aluminium in the UK/Commonwealth countries. Everywhere else it's aluminum. (Spell checker is yelling at me for spelling it your way)
The U.S. official cautioned that the raising of the missile could have been just a trial run to ensure the equipment works or an effort to "mess" with the United States and the allies that are watching for a launch at any time.
What about the aliens?!?!? Are these blimps going to save our government from the aliens' attack that could come any moment?!?! Everyone knows Independence Day was a documentary sent back from the future to warn us!

I think that their imagined threat of terrorist airplane attacks is about as likely to happen.
You think that Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Jordan are going to gang up on Israel and force them to do anything? What dream world do you live in? Never heard of the Six-Day War?
So, you're telling me that these researchers don't know the difference between giving a chemical with food as opposed to just with water? There's a big difference in how the body (rat or human) absorbs chemicals depending on how it gets there, and what is in the stomach.
It's more than just the concentration. Look at medication sometime: "Take this drug with a full glass of water." "Take this drug with food." etc. etc.
Maybe they should have the rats chomp down on some of the actual GM food that is supposedly so bad?
How many children actually need neo-natal heart work? Or have severe birth defects? Most babies are born fine and healthy, and if not who better to accept responsibility for the expense and care of the child than the parent? I'm willing to accept that responsibility if it means my child is more than a carbon-copy drone like every other child.
So in the future I should have super docile, conformist babies that fit the cookie cutter notion of how a baby should look? No thanks, I'll just stick with chance.
Because typically the UK will refuse to extradite anyone to the US when there is a possibility of the death penalty being on the table, which is not unheard of for "espionage." Sweden doesn't have the same historical extradition relationship as the UK.
Out of curiosity, how close is this to the temperature immediately after Big Bang? Hotter, colder? I only wonder when they talk about a gluon plasma...
Who wants to accept the liability if passengers/surrounding objects get turned into goo when a tiny defect causes the 4000 mph object to decelerate in a not-quite-so-planned manner?
You can say "correlation != causation" all you want, but the simple thing is more $$$ = more advertising, and the more advertising = more votes. IOW more $$$ = more votes.
Well ok, not rockets, but how about building simple catapults/trebuchets? Not quite as "dangerous" as a rocket, but still a lot of fun to do.
In school/high school, I built rockets, a trebuchet, and a crude coilgun. It was a blast, we learned a lot, and nobody got hurt, no property damage...but yeah, lets keep filling in those little bubbles with #2 pencil because that'll make them learn!
Actually, in California a felony burglary charge carries a sentence of up to 6 years in prison, so with 4 counts of burglary pending he might be seeing some time after all.
Because the media isn't making it an election issue. In an election year, you don't hear about squat unless the media in general wants you to hear about it.
What good are millions of people loudly declaring something while they're stuck in "protest/free speech" zones away from anyone with eyes to see them or ears to hear them?
Maybe you've been living under a rock for the last few years, but "happybirthday.jpg.exe" hasn't been a big attack vector for a long time.
Most of the infections I've seen in the past 3-4 years have been from some dodgy ad on otherwise legitimate sites exploiting a security hole somewhere. News sites are common for that, or anywhere else where lots of people visit (don't even get me started about facebook).
Malware aren't usually out to pwn the computer for the lulz anymore. It's about expanding their botnets for spam ($$$), or getting credit cards from people ($$$). No system in the world is going to protect a user that decides they want to give their CC# for something.
Unless you're a business, why would you pay for an AV suite in this day and age?
Unless you're running some old crappy Mac from 8 years ago, why would your big bad super duper Mac even notice the miniscule amount of system resources devoted?
You don't have a problem infecting other people's computers? Thanks a bunch!
None whatsoever, but maybe I should go on a spending spree and max out my card so that the crook(s) have to pay my bill before they can do anything with my card!
Slashdot Mirror
I'd say "good riddance!", but I'm fully confident that the administration will find some crony just as eager to continue our security theater.

Unfortunately, apart from the ones that are anti-government all the time, yes...a great many people believe them. Hook, line, & sinker.
The U.S. official cautioned that the raising of the missile could have been just a trial run to ensure the equipment works or an effort to "mess" with the United States and the allies that are watching for a launch at any time.
For some reason I read allies as "aliens."
Yes, but it's actually preferable if the cruise missile doesn't come back.

So people that work in IT gain less and less empathy for their users? Hmmmm....
Wasn't this already common knowledge several years ago?

My younger cousin EASILY does 30-40 texts/hour, which is really annoying when trying to play cards...
Some people use an absolutely amazing number of texts, that's who the unlimited text plans are for.

Just because it's not technology related, doesn't mean it's not news.
