With all the women using high dose of anti-age hormones since the age of 30, we will soon have enough data on that point. Personally, I would prefer the normal slow physical degradation over the risk of enduring one of the worst kind of agony ever just to stay, well, not that pretty anyway.
IANAP, but I would tend to consider the lack of shadow as a proof for the big bang, not against. If this radiation comes from the big bang, then it comes from every direction and this cluster of galaxies is as much the center of the universe as the earth itself. OTOH, having a "bright" and a "dark" side of this cluster would indicate that this radiation has a located source and therefore would invalidate the big bang theory.
Of course, there are tons of effects I don't know or don't unerstand, so please explain to me how a shadow would be supposed to appear despite the invariance and isotropy of the universe and how a mere little cluster of galaxies could alter in a measurable way a radiation that literally crossed half the universe and existed forever.
How can a boad member can keep those strategic information secret while sitting at at the board of dozen different corporations at the same time? Maybe that's why they are paid so much for so little time of work.
I've seen similar problem when working on cellphones. We had a cheap (but fine) 52MHz ARM7 to run the thing and that was starting to have difficulties to compete with the more expensive ARM9 the other ones were massively using, so one day, our PHB decided to add a top rock chip to our system as a graphic and multimedia accelerator (it was marginaly cheaper than switching to ARM9) and to keep our ARM7 as the master to prevent costy redesign. The result was that, after hundreds of wasted mem*monthes, we managed to have this thing working, only to see it working about 50 times slower because the ARM7 was spending almost all its CPU on communication or waiting for the copro answers and the copro was spending almost all its CPU idle waiting for commands. Of course, our next evolution was an ARM9.
Don't complain. Where I live, there is no legal way of viewing FF (but I got a perfectly fine french dubbed version anyway), or btw and despite my nickname, Invader ZIM. I really hate zoning...
Your way has still a drawback: using a pen can be a way to identify the voter or could cause ambigious interpretation if the marks are not correctly placed (it is then similar to the problems with punch cards).
In my country, France, each candidate/party provides its pre-printed ballots then it's quite the same: hand count by a semi-random group of 4 voters (there are usually 3-4 groups) under the control of the election officials, party representatives and any volunteer voters not chosen to be in a group. Anything that may help identify the voter (note, pen mark, strange folding...) voids the ballot.
On semantic, I disagree with you, despite this "pen" drawback, your system is in no way primitive since it inherits from centuries of good ballot organisation and relies on procedures that allow a good control of the ballot by the voters. The Dielbolt way is the primitive one since it is similar to letting the chaman/priest tells "The gods want XXX to be the chief, and yes, they only speak to me".
For example, in french slang, the same person could use the word "batard" as either an insult or a display of respect, and neither of these meaning is related to the target's father.
One day, I chosed to hunt one of my coworkers for an hour in a battlefield session and managed to kill him 8 times. During the whole next day, he did not forwarded any joke email to me.
If you send the disk of a machine that has no traces of the MP3 or the P2P logs they are looking for, they will simply say you tried to destroy the evidences and it will look plausible to the court (since they gave you the time and opportunity to do so). Trying to prove you are innocent will just make things worse. You're screwed anyway, so the only solution would be to fight them on procedural ground.
I don't agree, they are not prefering safety over liberty, they are prefering their fortune to your safety or liberty and using the illusion of safety to get their hand on public money.
It's even more ridiculous when you consider that it would be the lamest planet around. Imagine astronomical course in a couple of centuries: "there are 8 big planets, and the 147th biggest object in the solar system is also listed as a planet because it was discovered by an american. Of course, it is the only inhabitted planet because it is really too far away and worthless".
I once tried a wireless mouse. The only good point of it being wireless was that I could throw that piece of crap through the window without damaging my computer. USB will rock for many years to come.
Big complex DNA is just like a bigger body, it helps you to get more food than the other, but in the other hand, it makes you more dependant to that food because you require more energy for simply staying alive. Choosing this strategy or not makes sense only if you consider in which environment you live.
I guess it won't be so hard to sell every single unit of the 100-200K they would have managed to build and so they could call their 2% share a success.
In France, one of our best (but dead) comics, Coluche, said that politicians spend more public money for building jails than schools because they know they won't go to school again.
I work in corporate environment and the situation is easy. Whenever I need a SW tool for which it exists an open soure alternative, I have two options: -Spend one hour filling paperwork to justify my need of the tool so that it could be rejected 3 weeks later by a beancounter. -Spend 5 min downloading a relatively equivalent open source SW and then learn to use it on the fly. Guess which one I try first.
No matter if it is proprietary or open SW, when you have left school and are working, you can't just say you only know how to use one particular program. You either adapt to what is available or needed for your project or you die. Regulary using OSS can't hurt anyone.
Although I agree they are ridiculously overpaid, I think this situation makes sense because the studios release dozen of dispendable films every months. Many people don't go to the theater with a clear idea of what they want to see, but just want to buy 2h of average quality entertainment and tend to chose the names they already know. Make the sequel to last year hit or have a big star and you're pretty sure to get your money back reguardless of the quality of your film, So those few people who can guaranty the succes of a film are not paid for their talent, but rather for their name, and in most cases, it is an interesting deal for the studio.
Imagine these clothes are sold with a wireless interface in the future, which IMHO is a reasonable idea, geeks in school could learn to hack them and write "kick me" on the back of the violent kids while staying at safe distance.

I thought there were only 10000 american phone number, isn't 555 US prefix?

They want Duke Nukem Forever at launch day to vamp up their system.
Maybe they can provide better search services to justify their fees.

Yes, it can.

Unfortunately, for companies like EA, there are only 4 kind of gamers:
-stupid shooters
-stupid racers
-stupid ballgamers
-useless sissies
Don't be so negative, $2M is a lot of money, for example, it can fund at least a couple of minutes of the war on terrorism.

I work on a Lenovo and it really behaves as if it was made out of recycled parts.
The google ads alongside the article were about Areva or Chernobyl. Is this fabric radioactive?
But it can be a very cool tech.
