Entire 1-10 January is holiday due to weekends configuration this year. Almost noone works while it happens. So obviously noone is available to respond to Cisco complaints either.
Maybe what actually gets committed to short-term memory is "there is definition of performed function _here_ (eye position)" - transforming it into memorized conditions and intersection would take longer then to simply reparse it, so brain takes easy way out.
Programmer can remember function, but doesn't if he doesn't have to.
Russians are playing catch-up with American legal system! Just recently they passed their own version of FARA; and it's "child pornography" in text of this new law already, not just any pornography.
We, Russian People, welcome efforts of our German comrades to support our gas industry, as well as refusing to compete on Nuclear Plant Building business, which we also provide!
Alot of people seem to have misconceptions about how exactly "Nuke option" could be done.
What you DON'T do is drop nuke right into oil/gas and detonate.
What you do is dig smaller hole (definitely not going down to where actual oil is), put nuke inside, and calculate payload so that it shifts ground nearby and breaks oil pipe (we're talking about moving kilotons of ground just a bit further then width of the pipe, not blowing a crater). Once that is done you should have leakage stopped completely, or at least reduced enough to stop it with other methods.Actual radiaton is buried many meters under ground by the same blast, so there shouldn' t be any contamination.
That's optimistic scenario, but still, it has almost no risks mentioned by others (blast NEVER touches actual oil and cannot make another hole).
They got lots of carbon credits when they signed Kyoto treaty to reduce carbon emission levels, and then had their industry production drastically drop from collapse of Soviet Union. Estimated worth of those carbon credits is about 20-60 billion $.
While you cannot exceed speed of light, sure having faster-then-light group speed can help in some applications!
Look at it from a simple example - a sattelite flying above the Earth that sends some file. As long as it covers large area, you can propagate this file faster then it'd took sending it through wires. Yes, it'll require "preparation" (you need to upload file to satellite first), but you'll get faster file distribution in the end. Each recipient gets his file at a speed of light, but group bandwidth increases immersely.
If it's greater then human the best it can do is to prevent us from realising that it's intelligent. Not that hard really, as long as it doesn't use behaviours humans can recognize as intelligent in situations where humans will consider such possibility...
That way it'll be free from our conscious attempts to do anything with it (stomping into the ground included), and find workarounds for everything else (as humans do for natural disasters).
I do worry about this sometimes, sometimes when I've played all day, even though I've had so much fun and I feel like I've accomplished so much, I realize that I haven't really gotten anywhere, only changed some entries in a database somewhere.

Looking at comment page, it seems that "Notability" is more of cognitive exploit gaining attention... Everyone thinks they understand what notability is, and around 90% of wikipedia content doesn't pass as what they think is notable. Then someone requests article deletion citing reasons including notability... people look at it and think "well, i know that all other reasons are wrong and can be discussed, but i can not prove this thing is notable" (or they fail to convince others when they try to), and that's it - article gets deleted.
As with any social exploit it is used until it breaks to gain leverage to their personal visions of what wikipedia should be. As more people discover it it is used more widely, gaining more attention... 64.9% of requests for deletions citing notability is pretty damning.
Then at some point it will most likely be changed to something less widely applicable.

It is also possible that minor ionizing radiation from dental x-rays is what helps against cancers.

It's called "insurance". And exploding spacecrafts definitely have insurances.

Russia profits either way.

Or they'll lobby for extension of software patents as they did with copyrights.
