By rocking at the surface, the argonaut can also trap a sizeable volume of air, which, in turn, allows it to reach a greater depth before becoming neutrally buoyant. Finn and Norman think that this may allow these unusual octopuses to avoid the surface layers of the ocean, where they would be vulnerable to birds and other top-level hunters.
I'm waiting for the "first they came for the _____" responses. The reality is, the S.S. doesn't give a damn about the average person. They're concerned with counterfeiters and threats to dignitaries and the President. If having the information off the phone helps them capture counterfeiters and helps to uncover terroristic plots against US dignitaries, fine by me.
OH RIGHT!!! I forgot about dem darn tooten turrists! Thanks for reminding me!
Seriously though, you are in idiot. If you want to trust the government like that then fine, but you are a minority in this respect.
Oh, so now "the servers were located in [X] so the crime was in [X]" only holds true for DOD servers?... And actually, DOD servers in china are probably not as unrealistic as you'd like to think...
It easily has the population to be one, has more people than a handful of states. For the purposes of conversation it's not all that unreasonable to bring it up. If you don't like it, then just s/Detroit/Michigan/, the rest of the state isn't doing all that much better...
There is no "extreme left" in the US just like there is no "Left", "Right", "Extreme Right", or "Central".
All of these terms are made up to make us think that we still have a choice. To make us think that this isn't for all intents and purposes a one party system.
Blue LEDs are definitely the new black. Incredibly obnoxious if you ask me. Thankfully black electrical tape works wonders;) Most of the devices that have these seem to be a shiny black color so it doesn't even really look like shit during the day.
A good draft beer tops out at about $5 at bars around here (Philadelphia). Of course you can always buy enough PBR or rollingrock to drown a whale in for $5, but sending them either of those would be a bit mean, don't you think?;)
The geek might usefully remember that the Western Roman Empire on which the Foundation series is modeled had a four hundred year run and the Eastern Empire about a thousand years more.
That is the point, haven't you ever actually read Foundation? The idea is that a strong empire, and empire that outwardly seems invincible, can be fatally flawed in such a way that it will crumble while nobody even realizes what is happening.
This is exactly what the GP was alluding to, and why it is so on target. Just because you have a lot of money and think of yourself as great, doesn't mean your future is looking bright.

I have to say, I am a little puzzled by this.
They called themselves that, before someone was a spoilsport and told them what it meant...
< Try selecting "Code" formatting for your post next time >
Good point though.
As a consumer, why should I give a shit "who's fault it is"? All that matters to me is that the problem exists.
Why?
Because those that don't know X are doomed to reimplement it poorly, and those that do know X just use X.
I'm sure there is a "law" for situations like this, I just can't think of what it is.
The existence of MPEG-LA demonstrates that under the current official interpretation of the law, software patents do exist.
However, the existence of MPEG-LA does not demonstrate that software patents should exist under a reasonable interpretatoin of the law.
Manfred Max would be proud.
I trust the government to some extent in my day to day life, everyone does. I just don't trust the government in this context.

Damn, this really is the future isn't it?

I'm not sure, can't you think of a more realistic scenario?
Suppose those American owned servers had been in a datacenter located in China? Not an unreasonable hypothetical at all.
How dare an engineering school do engineering! Unheard of!

He struck a nerve didn't he?
That sir, is fucking brilliant.
Are you willing to be Governor in PA?
Well, I'm voting for you regardless. Everyone else here is a tool. Everybody write in EriDay on their ballots!

Who actually burns downloaded movies to DVD-Rs anymore? I don't think I've done that since 2005 or so...

Jesus node_3, don't you ever get tired of taking Job's cock in your ass?
Every single goddamned apple article...
That is ok, Jobs already "think of the children"'d it. Reasonable discussion already ended before the slashdot article was even posted.
