If you want a longer response, then I suggest you read a few books on geology and seismology. Earthquakes are far too poorly understood to be predictable and all the interesting events are happening tens or hundreds of kilometres underground with no feasible way to observe or measure them.
I own a software business. Anything written during working hours, for which the author is compensated by me, belongs to me. End of story.
Now, I did sign a contract with one of my employees who had his own open-source project from before he joined the company. it basically said that whatever he worked on on his own time was his, as long as it didn't compete with any of our products.
14000 km/h = 3889 m/s, so a 513kg craft crashing at that speed into a planet would need to dissipate 0.5 * 513 * 3889 * 3889 = 3.8 GJ of energy, or just under a ton of TNT. So yeah... the crated would probably be fairly impressive from close up.
Google is on to something, but the implementation is wrong. First of all, this facility should be built in to browsers, not added as an extension. Secondly, it needs to be generalized: Just as browsers currently ask "Would you like to save this username/password for www.somesite.example", they should also ask "Would you like to lock this username/password combination to www.somesite.example?" and offer the usual "Yes / No / Not now" choices.
If you say "Yes", then the browser should alert you every time it sees that password on a different site.
If that vision comes to pass, then our education system will have imploded and we'll be producing generations of uneducated students.
I cannot think of a single person who hasn't had one or two teachers who've made a huge difference in his or her life. And I cannot think of a single child who would prefer a screen to a living human being. What a pile of hogsh*t.
I can see this both ways. On the one hand, Fiorina is right. Saudi Arabia, China, etc. have despicable human rights records and roundly deserve criticism and boycotts.
On the other hand, Apple is a US-based company and is much more likely to have influence in the US than elsewhere. We should recognize that we need to fight injustice everywhere, but just because we aren't able to effectively fight it in China that doesn't mean we should throw up our hands and ignore it in the US.
What Apple et. al. really should do is ensure that their employees in China are as well-treated on the job as American workers. Not to do that would be utterly hypocritical.
Look, I agree that you shouldn't have to bake a cake that specifically celebrates spanking. But if a couple into spanking came into your store and asked for one of your generic cake designs, I do not believe you should be able to refuse them service.
Similarly, I don't believe gays should be refused a generic wedding cake.
Taxation, perhaps they could get away with. I was actually referring more the the "blocking gambling sites" part of the article. I suppose I should have been more clear.
I second the Request Tracker recommendation. You need to be a geek to set it up, but not to use it.
At my company, we started out using it for the tech support staff. Since then, I've expanded it to include requests from salespeople to finance for invoice generation, etc. and it works beautifully.
I call bullshit. Yes, sexual violence against anyone is wrong. I'm not disagreeing. But feminism is about equality for women; it's not about oppressing men.
Feminists do tend to preoccupy themselves with women's issues because that's their mandate. Traditionally, men have been in positions of power and traditionally women have been less powerful.
Finally, I call BS on your implication that sexual violence against men is anywhere near as widespread as sexual violence against women. I also call BS on your implication that "feminist culture" is "responsible" for "more rape".
f women were all so unhappy society wouldn't be able to exist. Eastern cultures value interdependence and harmony. If 50% of your population is literally suffering then the system doesn't fracking work.
You are wrong. I suggest you read "Cruel and Usual Punishment" by Nonie Darwish. That explains the hellish combination of brutality, fear and indoctrination in parts of the Islamic world that perpetuates the oppression of women and causes untold misery to families.
Yes, the system "doesn't fracking work." Unfortunately, when the system is controlled by powerful people who are willing to use extreme violence to force people to do what they want, non-fracking-working systems can persist for centuries.
I've spoken to lots of Indian women who absolutely detest the misogyny rampant in India. They've experienced it first-hand and should know what it's like.
I'm not saying there's no misogyny here in Canada or in the US... of course there is. But in terms of absolute public safety and equality of opportunity, women here are far better off than in India.

If you want a scientific paper, read this.
I was simply trying to save everybody time.
Heisenberg says that you may never be able to get enough of the right type of information.
Quantum Mechanics says some things cannot be predicted.

Gah! /. should let you edit comments. s/crated/crater/ of course.

Yeah, but Tsarnaev was not Black, so he probably did get a fair trial.

Some Muslims have a religious objection to permitting non-Muslims to live. Who are we to stand in the way of their sincerely-held beliefs?
Leave people alone.
No. They're not discriminating against gays. They won't cater for anyone on a Friday and they won't cater a pig roast for anyone.
If they refuse to cater a gay wedding with Halal food on a Sunday afternoon, then yes... that's discrimination.

Religious people have the right not to have their faith mocked...
Oh really? Perhaps you could provide a citation of the law granting this so-called "right"?
Religious Freedom, or Freedom of Conscience, originally meant that the government wouldn't try to impose a particular brand of religion on the people.
The concept has been abused and mutilated until now it's interpreted as "My religion gives me freedom to trample all over your civil rights".
Bestiality is illegal. Homosexuality is not.
Nah. Quebec bashing is nothing. Post an article about something in Israel and watch what happens...
Taxation, perhaps they could get away with. I was actually referring more the the "blocking gambling sites" part of the article. I suppose I should have been more clear.
I don't believe Quebec has the power to regulate ISPs. AFAIK, telecommunication regulations are the domain of the federal government.
It's one guy with a juvenile sense of humour. I don't get why people are making a big deal of this.
If they don't feel the need, then why do they do it anyway?
