UEFI data is apparently stored in NAND. Non-volatile.
No idea if there is some way to flash it, but if it's sufficiently hardwired into the board then it's entirely possible you're SOL and have to buy new hardware. Yes, this is idiotic.
"Fine-tuned" may be a vague descriptor, but barely falling into a band of viability that stretches from 0.99AU to 1.70AU is not the same as being smack-dab in the center of a zone that is alternately claimed to be a few kilometers, a few meters or even centimeters wide (in ignorance of the Earth's elliptical orbit). That's the kind of "fine-tuned" claim you'll see being thrown around in support of creationism.
Pointing out the wrongness and the scientific illiteracy of a viewpoint is not bigotry; it is a favor. Every bit of evidence and explanation that people give you to answer your claims represents work put in by rational and compassionate human beings, at no expectation of reward, in order to improve your knowledge and understanding of this world we live in. Because that is what science is for. You may want to cut down on the arrogance and start being grateful any time now.
The whole "Earth is fine-tuned for life" stuff has been debunked for ages (but still circulates thanks to creationists), but it's pretty amazing to consider our planet could be more than 1.5 times as far out as it is now, and still remain habitable.
Also, note that the Earth's perihelion places us at 0.983AU. If these numbers are correct, our orbit actually leaves the habitable zone for a brief period every year.
It's only US copyright, and not permanently. The archive you could build on this basis would be a lot less global or robust than a licensed digitization project like Google's.
So far JSTOR has been covered favorably (due to settling and not wanting the government to press charges) while MIT has come off as evil or apathetic at best. This story implies that MIT was itself pressured by JSTOR to go after Swartz or lose their access. That's pretty big news.
Slashdot Mirror
And enter the witness protection program.
It's almost certainly easier to scrap your identity in real life than online.
Yeah, but someone at Slashdot messed up and clicked the approve button too soon. The story was scheduled to run in 2017.
Uh... the part where someone tried to extort six figures for stolen business information?
In what universe is that not a story?
Careful with the vagueness there. That's 42% of his stake in Google, not to be confused with 42% of the company's stock.
In these cases I just tend to root for the Fuck Software Patents side.

One of these days, I'm going to get a heatstroke from all the snow.
...the population would be decimated by falling bullets. :P

Would constitute an airspace violation.
In the short run, definitely. If production is scaled back, in the long term prices may increase since the production cost will scale less.

I know a librarian who'd take issue with you calling an ape a monkey.
You'd rather run a 1996 version of Photoshop inside Windows 3.1 inside an emulator than learn how to use Gimp?
That's just... sad.
As soon as a spammer figures out how to abuse it.
Simply burning organisms might not be, but leaving them to rot would be inefficient too. They would likely develop a way to convert us to biofuel.
that he'll go bankru---
oh.
And you will be the burger.
I heard you like Sharepoint...
After all, we handily averted Y2K with decades to spare, and the internet has been migrated to IPv6 for the past ten years. :-P

I wonder how many of those 52% actually download infringing content on a regular basis.
