You have to keep a sense of scale. Iceland is a very small 'country'. It really was just a second rate tax haven and compares unfavourably with many Caribbean islands - especially nowadays. So in the greater scheme of things it is just a blip on a old TV screen.

The NSA's main activity is evaluating and certifying electronic equipment for government use. When a company builds a new super secret secure communications toy like the Obamaberry, the NSA is the the agency who evaluates it and certifies that it really is as secure as the manufacturer claims it to be.
Now why was I marked flamebait? I do military work and has to know about this stuff. There are manufacturers like Flagstone (http://www.flagstonesecure.com/), who makes drives with various levels of security. The top models are Type 1 Crypto certified and can only be purchased by the military of certain countries. However, the drives are always a generation or two behind in terms of capacity, since it takes them a long time to get it certified by the NSA or CSE. Consequently we still had to do software encryption and get that certified ourselves - and yes, we use Linux.
Hmm, actually there isn't much wrong with Ford and GM - if anything. The trouble is that many states encouraged eastern car makers to set up factories in the US offering them huge (hundreds of millions and very low tax rates) subsidies and now everyone is wondering why there is over capacity.
The lack of demand was finally brought on by the banking system collapsing due to a real-estate bubble. People who wanted to buy cars, simply could not get finance. You certainly can't blame that on the car makers and everyone is suffering from that - Japannese production is off by 40% too.
No, if you need 1000 feet of Cat6 and a crimping tool, then you should go to a whole sale electrician shop or even Home Depot. It will cost a fraction.
The thing is, the MS developers should have read the sudo man page before they implemented UAC. They were too proud to do that. It seems like they forgot that many years ago, MS had their own Unix distribution (Xenix), so they had a clue back then.
Cars already run on hydrogen. It is just a lot more convenient to bind the hydrogen to carbon to make it a liquid at room temperature. Americans call that gasoline - petrol in the rest of the world.
If you consider that hydrogen gas molecules are so small that they will slowly leak out of a steel pressure vessel, then you should realize that using it in gaseous form is not a great idea - think about what will happen when the gas slowly leaks out of the tank and then you or your neighbour goes out for a smoke.
It is probaly apt pubishment for Tom Tom' stupidity. There is no reason to use FAT anyway. It is not like there is a shortage of better file systems in Linux.
There are still people who haven't heard of Zimbra and Citadel? One can replace dozens of Exchange servers with a single Citadel server, without the need for a mainframe.
On earth, water cannot totally sink into the planet since at some point it becomes so hot that it boils and returns to the surface. On Mars, the planet cooled down so much that most of the water sank into the rock and remains underground. So Mars likely has lots of underground (salty) water, but not much on the surface. Same on the Moon. If one would drill on the Moon, there would likely be water (and hydrocarbons) under ground.
Well, obviously there must be super cool space cows living on Pluto - if we have to believe that all hydrocarbons are the result of organic life - and not the other way around.
It sounds like we really need to start working on reversing the anthropogenic global warming of Pluto.
The venerable Unix info files and even man pages also do the same thing. Web browsers was a logical improvement of existing ideas. It was not evolutionary, not revolutionary.
I think constructing berms and such is redundant. After a few typical NASA landing attempts, there should be a nice crater at the landing site with berms to protect the base.
Absolutely. Linux has been easier to install configure and use than Windows for a number of years already.
Mandiva and Suse and both far easier to use and has better wizards than Win2003.

Decent nuclear bombs produce NO fall-out. Even the original bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki produced NO fall-out.
This information has probably been sold to the KGB or China long ago. So why don't they just ask?
Self encrypting drives have been available for years already. However, they are always behind the curve - small and slow.
It is easy to make water 'not wet'. There is lots of it out here today. Minus 21 Celsius, almost tropical.

Here is a good run down of the many years of pork offered to Japannese and Korean car makers, at the expense of the incumbents:

Maybe with new 24x drives we may finally be able to burn a disk at more than 4x speed and get a disc that works.

Some very large government departments are only now switching from Win2000 to WinXP.

Something is wrong in your argument. You *can* delete a running program on Unix/Linux.
Can't he just issue all terrorists with dark glasses so they cannot see anything? That will be so much more effective.

My ancient Eee PC 701 still blows the Kindle away. Yes, it is a little bit larger, but it can read and display *anything*.
Ten thousand visitors *per hour* may be the level to start thinking about a second machine.
