What happens when someone who got vaccinated with this needs anesthetics or painkillers for surgery? They don't say if it only works on heroin and not a ton of other opioids as well.
Kodak invented the digital camera, so it is a bit false to claim that they had no expertise in the field. Where they went wrong was trying to protect their film business by sacrificing their early lead on development and licensing out the technology.
If a longer vision had prevailed at Kodak, people with Nikon and Canon cameras might be wistfully longing that they could afford one of the big boy Kodak cameras.
This quote was the most important part of the article to me, it should have been in the summary:
"Former Kodak vice president Don Strickland insists the firm's late entry into the digital market is a key factor in its recent troubles. He claims he left the company in 1993 after he failed to get backing from within the company to release a digital camera.
'We developed the world's first consumer digital camera and Kodak could have launched it in 1992. We could not get approval to launch or sell it because of fear of the cannibalisation of film,' he told BBC News.
Although Kodak was one of the original inventors of digital photography, it failed to keep pace with developments in the market and competitors including Fuji steadily eroded its share of the market."
I had no idea Kodak had anything going on with digital cameras that far back, I remember the Sonys and Canons and so on and then Kodak eventually came out with some cheap crap-cameras after film was pretty much dead, what a huge business screw-up...
Small town, 1 billion dollar data center, and presumably those 50 employees includes all security guards. If the town just took the data center hostage the net profit would be huge, besides the fact that nobody would ever build another data center there again. 1 billion over 3000 residents is like, a profit of 300,000 a person? Shave off a percent or two to bribe the local cops and they've hit pay dirt

I won't go near the one by me during busy times of the day because it's always completely packed, I'd hate to try to relax and have a cup of coffee in there.
I clicked page 7 at random and it was literally a page long description of a single video card from 2006 with no performance information at all. I can't even imagine why someone would still own a Radeon 2900XT, the power bill alone would make it worth replacing at this point.
That's probably what they want, trying to get people to move away from mail to the streaming service. It's a choice between paying for something that sounds all futuristic and internety or something that sounds like a bargain-basement DVD service from Walmart. "BitTorrent" sounds way more futuristic to me though.
I think this is partially over the unionization fight that was going on earlier this year. It's about fighting republican demons, not cutting costs or improving security.
One of his main points is how capital is extremely dynamic and adaptive, he discusses a number of points where apparently insurmountable technical problems or new government regulations or social unrest actually ended up leading to greater efficiency and technological innovation. Command economies like the USSR have generally failed to capture these qualities even though they were extremely successful in initially industrializing (and it tends works the same way in businesses, free exchange of ideas and less hierarchy leads to more innovation rather than stagnation)
Aesthetics are totally subjective. People respond completely differently to the same sets of images, and that has to be taken into account. Wikipedia for the most part operates by working towards a consensus rather than explicit rules, and should strive to be inclusive without compromising the information contained within its articles. If you flippantly ignore the fact that a large number of readers are offended or revolted by certain images prominently displayed in Wikipedia articles (whether you agree with them or not), you're excluding a lot of people on very questionable grounds. Wikipedia already has a problem with the fact that almost all of its editors are middle-upper class white nerdy males in their 20's and these attitudes are part of the problem.
I don't want to see hi-res photos of Wikipedia editors' genitalia or nasty skin diseases at the top of an article (when an illustration would suffice) for the same reason I don't want to Wikipedia to change over to magenta text on a lime-green background. There's an issue of aesthetics and readability here.
Tell that to L.A. or Seattle! Unless you're expecting some sort of Maoist uprising, I don't think anyone's going to bother trying to "roll into" your small towns.
Though with the current exchanges, it's impossible to withdraw more than $10,000 of bitcoins a month, so you'd never get most of that "value" out anyway. You'd be better off using that computational power to rent out a real botnet if you actually managed to infect 500,000 machines (Not to mention moving that much money through banks would draw a lot of suspicion even if you could get it all out, hopefully you have an account in a country where the banks are as poorly regulated as bitcoins...)
State censors arrested a dissident British performance artist for attempting to incite pro-democracy protests using a "Blackberry," a social networking device popular in his native country. The arrest comes just days after a wave of intense pro-democracy demonstrations among British peasants in the capital city of London and the subsequent crackdown by state security. David Cameron, the British Prime Minister, has been quoted as saying the protests "brought great shame to the ancestors of all involved" and would be "severely punished in accordance with the Glorious United Kingdom's policies as prescribed by The Great March Towards Austerity"
The author got a lot right in this article. The thing about using real identities is the effects are asymmetrical, it's not some egalitarian system that always improves discourse. The people in positions of power, authority, privilege, etc. are the ones who determine what is and isn't acceptable to begin with, so obviously they have nothing to lose by being identified. When we say "civility" we mean don't really mean "civility" according to everyone, just according to whoever defines the status quo. There's a reason Facebook is now mostly parents posting baby pictures and employers doing corporate promotions, that's all its useful for when everyone can see it and everyone can identify everyone else who uses it.

To answer all of your questions, it's because US labor laws are fucked

"The difference is that Lockheed isn't a bankrupt company, financed with taxpayer funds, given under dubious circumstances."
Two out of three is pretty close!
(and the third is really a matter of the degree of taxpayer funding)

My city's main library tends to be pretty busy all the time. They're even building another one. Also, they have free books!
I like how businesses treat the south as the third world (or Caribbean tax shelter) of America.

Surely he'll milk his fame for all it's worth. Endorsed mice, keyboards, perhaps a Kevin MitNIC Extr3m3 Networking Card?
"or an early warning that a sedan three cars ahead just hit the brakes even though you can't see it through the giant SUV directly in front of you.""
Maybe it would be cheaper to just mandate transparent SUV's

He actually did discuss the advantages of capitalism over previous economic systems, extensively, in Capital
The US has been openly giving weapons to the Taliban since the 80s, if they can't work with that I don't think a few spies are going to help.
