All the planets in the solar system are made of the same stuff and they all probably have hydrocarbons. Methane and ethane has been detected in the red spots of the gas giants and it has been photographed and analyzed on the Saturn moon Titan. These gases are leftovers from the last super nova that our solar system is made from.
On earth, bacteria (procaryotes) in the earth crust reformed the methane and ethane into heavier gases and oils, in the absense of sunlight.
Well, yeah. The problem is that flash drives are commonly used to bridge air gaps. The air gaps are there to isolate networks and and force manual transfer of data, but if the manual transfer method cannot be trusted then then something needs to be done about it.
Banning flash drives may help, but it still leaves CDROMs and DVDs as a medium to bridge air gaps, so banning flash drives is just a temporary knee-jerk reaction really.
The only long term solution is to stop using Mickey Mouse operating systems on secure networks.
Exacketilly - Russia is not our enemy. Russia is an ally and has been an ally for hundreds of years. Sure, there has been the ocational minor disagreement, but in times of war Russia, UK, France and USA always stick together.
I know that is contrary to what CNN and others would like it to be, but the facts are otherwise.
Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy already violated 200 patents. The only thing protecting them is that MS cannot find their addresses to deliver the summons.
Yup, if someone brings me one of those to fix, I install Linux with ExPee in a VM and seamless RDP from Linux for specific Windows applications. That works like a charm, but it takes a lot of dedication to set it up and get it all to work.
The noise from a large missile motor is incredible. I have worked at a test site in a previous life and it is something you never forget. So, yes, I'm not surprised that the cows got upset - I am surprised that they didn't stampede and broke through the fences.
I just cannot see how burning coal to condense water can be economical. These type of devices have been around for ages - ever since the basic refrigerator was invented in the 19th century.
I doubt that the moon is totally cold all the way to the core, so could one not just drill down till you get into a level that is warm enough to have liquid water/oil/gas?
The problem is that many corporations use Active Directory to push out mile long security templates and updates to the PCs when they boot up/down.
At my regular job, booting up can take 30 minutes, so I refrain from ever powering the machine down, which mostly defeats the purpose of pushing out updates with AD.
Not powering down is actually easy lately, since the machine nowadays refuses to power down which is quite convenient actually.
More than 40 years ago, I played with Montini, which was a British version of these blocks, made of nylon - a much superior product to Lego's polystyrene blocks. They went bust, since they could not compete with Lego's cheap blocks.
It may be a lot cheaper (though less dramatic) to import a few shiploads of sand from Saudi Arabia and raise the level of the atolls by a couple of meters.

Hmm, even NASA uses Bugzilla.
I always install XP SP2 and turn updates off. That works fine on a LAN with a decent firewall.
Coal is ancient sunlight, but oil is not exactly.

Hmm, a remote DOS attack would be interesting.
It will be a Sterling idea once he successfully monetized the Stirling engine. Pardon, could not resist it, wot. H.

A coiled up plastic tube will achieve the same thing, but a sealed plastic sippy bag is probably still best.

for compatibility. So I don't think Apple has a case.
So how many gigaflops does Norton Antivirus use on that puppy?

Clearly they realize that it is a bad career choice.
The most amazing thing on the Top500 site is that number 10 runs Windows! W00T! Go, Microsoft, Go!
Recycling waste water is common in the big cities of Southern Africa.
The ones I worry about are the 12 year old bugs that have had exploit code for 8 years already and only now gets fixed - maybe.
No, science is incompatible with any kind of faith in any kind of myth.
Why do archaeologists always declare that old buildings are temples? It could have been a Sandwich Shop or a Greasy Spoon for all we know.

Well, shutting down McDonalds will reduce artery clogging spam by 75% too. ;)
