The protocol doesn't have a provision for "not receiving the request" because by definition, if a connection is negotiated successfully, then the server is the computer the client is talking to. If that's a government firewall instead of the computer meant to serve the website, tough; it's still the server and it understood the request and is refusing to fulfill it.
This would not be a problem if both name resolution and HTTP traffic were universally properly encrypted and signed, as the client could then simply discard the connection as invalid without relying on any evil bit sent by the censors.
Maybe I'll care once they start using imagery under ten years old over my city. It'd be nice if the buildings that have been torn down and replaced in the meantime were photographed before the new buildings are torn down too.
The universe caught on we were watching, and quickly decided to toe the line on the whole laws-of-physics thing again.
Like when you're on the highway and see a cop car passing you by. Suddenly you're a model driver, five percent below the speed limit, signaling lane changes and everything, can-I-help-you-officer.
Turn that detector off and they'll be whizzing by like nobody's business again, violating causality just for the hell of it.
The courts get fed up and ban every single mobile company on the planet from selling phones for a year. Then they can come back in to apologize for their shit and maybe they'll be allowed to play again.
Your business is making and selling phones, not preventing other people from making and selling phones. I'm no longer buying any electronics product of any company who is plaintiff in a patent infringement case.
The fake baits might work if the rat can't be trained to ignore them, but false positives are not the issue when clearing mines. Neither is relative attrition - in combat, mine clearance already is very costly (including in casualties) and only done when the tactical advantage is worth it; in humanitarian mine clearing, the relative attrition is beside the point anyway, as there is no enemy.
(Also, the reason landmines are not designed to be triggered by small animals is that most places are full of small animals, so you'd be losing mines to wildlife all the time.)
Who's to say that one way is better than the other?
An organism that's been selected over hundreds of millions of years to survive in the current climate. Like, I don't know, humans.
Sure, nothing is objectively better about an oxygen-rich atmosphere than a carbon-dioxide one. An anaerobic organism of the archean era would likely prefer it. But I breathe oxygen. How about you?
Because the reporters want to sell headlines, and a scientist saying "huh, that's funny" doesn't sound as newsworthy as "I AM SHOCKED!"
(Also, the scientists probably look a bit googly-eyed during the interview, and the reporter doesn't realise that's just because of the coffee-fueled all-nighter instead of the bemusement.)

And HTTP 451 is in fact the next free status code not used by any standard or proprietary extension: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes#4xx_Client_Error That coincidence is too good to be true...

Would that be HTTP .410?
The definition of a criminal:
1. Anyone who records police officers.
2. Anyone who gets stopped and frisked.
The very point of a car frame is to crumple. They're expensive to replace, but not as much as the driver.

OMG be careful!

... it is way too late to get rid of the evidence. I mean, really? Every malware researcher ever must now have a copy of the code.

If the rats are organic mine detectors, then the hawks are more like "organic organic mine detector removal drones".
Well, yeah.
Until we dig it out and burn it... ;)

They just can't decide, can they?
I guess Blizzard should be worried.
There are also two sides to the discussion of whether (obligatory Godwin) Hitler was right, or pi is three, or the moon landing was faked.
Ooh boy, that's a lot of controversy to teach.
Did they clone the inhabitants too?
Yes.
At least the US won't be alone in its downward spiral of idiocy.
NOTHING HAPPENED.
This is important. Someone is lying on the internet.
