No, they are still as deadly, it is just that if a hidden guy with a wireless laptop could trick a nearby MBT crew to fire on their own troops, it would be bad news.
So, defense contractors plan to use off the shelf network security tools in the future because the one currently deployed are too easily hacked. What the point in having that on the main page?
I could name countless other Russians that deserve this kind of recognition more than a cold war spy.
Are you refering to the one who stole that specially tuned pipeline control program (http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=829)?
And of course, I suppose you take great pride in the apolo missions but conviniently forget that fromer nazi war criminals took an important part in post WWII US space superiority.
As a western european, I don't like the idea that Russia has a lot of nukes, but I can't see why we should deny Putin to acknoledge the work that this guy has done FOR RUSSIA.
I graduated just after the Y2K peak, and then there was 9/11, so for most of my career, I got almost no bonus while seeing my few actions lose value every month. I certainly can't say it helped me stay commited.
Moreover, In France, to enforce a non-competing agreement, they have to: -Define an inclusive list of potential employer activity, location and a duration. If a court considers it risks preventing you to find another job (and not just prevent selling out to a direct competitor), it will void the agreement. -Tell you they will enforce the agreement before your contract is over. -Continue to pay you (at least 80% of your previous salary if I remember well). The day they stop, the agreement is definitely voided.
I was a consultant, and my non-competing agreement was simply "Do not work for your last client for 1 year". My client just picked up his phone and told my boss "I'm picking up this guy, yes I know, there is this agreement, but you have 20 other guys working here and you wouldn't want their contracts to be terminated, don't you?".
I think you missed the point, killing or seriously intoxicating a few kids is not their goal, these are accident that draw unwanted attention. The real goal is to have most westerner lose a couple IQ point due to continous almost harmless poisonning to offset the IQ loss of their own workforce caused by their total lack of respect for pollution prevention.
Tak: The great thing about your people, Dib, is that most of them don't notice. All they see is another faceless corporate venture, not a plan for world conquest! Dib: Wait. Is there really a difference?
On a general case, I would agree with you, but the robot is designed to be used in cases where there is no surgeon withing a million km radius (for an interplantary mission, do you want a real doctor plus his backup in case he will be injured or a machine and two more scientists? you may want the former, but the later means way more bang for the buck) or not enough to waste them on the battlefield, where some guys could be saved by a quick and dirty intervention aimed at stopping their bleeding and keeping them alive long enough to go to the hospital (each patrol could carry one of these robots and ideally deploy it almost instantly while the evac team is still en route).
On a serious but related side when using those robots on battlefield, a robot does not suffer from stress in a dangerous environment and will therefore stay at 100% efficiency until actually damaged (at this point, a human doctor won't be very usefull either).
If you want half-finished crappy sequels, you can always ask Obsidian or EA, that's what they are good at. BTW, I agree with his stand, to remain on top, he needs to take new risks over and over instead of falling back to the average. As long as he find someone willing to finance him, he should continue slightly improving our gaming experience.
If your point is to say that some wrongdoing is OK because there is something worse happening to someone else somewhere, then bravo, you are indeed saying that the current Pakistan events are OK because it won't be hard to find something even worse somewhere in recent history.
When it comes to human rights, NEVER compare any situation to something worse, only to what it should be, and try to improve what you can, even if it is not that important, instead of complaining on what you can't change.
That is one reason why many clever CIO of european corps banned the blackberry for their senior executives since they always route mails through their US-based servers.
Did that, but no more, thanks to www.deezer.com, a perfectly legal site (they have agreements with the SACEM (French equivalent of RIAA, except it is officially autor oriented) and several majors) that provide free medium to good quality music streaming.
I still use P2P, but mostly because it will be a cold day in hell before I jeoparadize my beloved PC with a potentially infected music CD to transfer MY music to my car's MP3 player.
You forgot the key element in your last sentence: "...not yet fully understood BY THE PERSON EXPERIENCING IT.". It is a forgivable mistake from a layman, but the scientists are since a long time fed up of having to debunk the same things over and over.
If you want to question how life could have appeared and prospered on earth, then "nothing" is: -Huge quantity of what is supposed to be the best substrate in the world for complex chemistery: liquid water. -A large variety of mineral and organic chemicals. -Unlimited sources of energy (sun, lightnings, thermal sources...). -More time than you can imagine.
Now, if you want to say that a bacteria is so complex to create from scratch you need first to create a perfect ompnipotent, omniscient, human loving (or at least MALE human-loving) first...
It tells us that they are going away from us very fast, which, because of the universe expansion, means that the ones we can are very far away, or in other word, ancient. All the quasars we can see are mostly the same age (around 9 billion years old if I remember well), which means they formed in a particular set of conditions and then either disapeared or changed into something else (most likely galaxies).
Just a few facts to ruin the joke. -If a comet is heading directly for us, don't worry. If it is heading where we will be by the time it gets there, on the other hand... -The comet tail is almost not related to its trajectory, but mostly to the direction of the solar wind hitting it, you can approximately draw a line Sun->comet->tail.
So odds are that if we ever have to collide with a comet, we will most likely be idealy placed to see its tail just before the collision.
For us europeans, 200Mb/s would be a 8x improvement over short distance ADSL2+, but think of the poor americans who crawl at 1.5Mb/s "high speed" for twice as we pay.
-Terrible spelling -Most articles are about the latest boys band, or who dates who in the classroom, except a few "nazis aren't good" or "we should ban war" vain attempt to bring some intersting content.

Seen it the other way around.

At one point, they made the Pinto.

Somehow it's a war, and everyone is losing it.

Dib: Wait. Is there really a difference?
"unfriendly and hungry wildlife"
Is this the new politically correct term for chechen separatists?
An old french playwritter, Molliere, have one of his caracters say: "It's better to die accordingly to the medecine than to live despite it".

That's apparently the whole purpose of their work: to have the robot work solo from a human-produced procedure.

Even if I totally agree, I would have phrased your last sentence the other way. But I onestly don't know which way would scare me the most.

So, because one cause of criminality has been identified, there can be no other?
Given your apparent IQ, I guess you might have been exposed to too much lead when you were young.
