The article makes it sound as if the crows are themselves acquiring genetic modifications giving them resistance to antibiotic compounds. However, it is the bacteria inhabiting the crows intestine that have acquired the antibiotic resistance genes, not the crows themselves.
There's only one solution: stone the crows!
if he doesn't file, he can then be arrested on tax evasion
Yeah, he's wanted for international espionage. I'm sure a charge of tax evasion doesn't bother him! What are they going to threaten him with next? A speeding ticket? Jaywalking? Littering?
"IT support. Have you tried turning the NSA tapping device off and on again?"
"Hello my name's Edward Snowden. I can help you today. I can see you tried switching it off and switching it off again but the password you just entered is not the one we have on file."
It's not you... this is the link:

Hello Congratulations on your prize, jealousy? no!
According to this PC world article, Can You Do Real Work With the 30-Year-Old IBM 5150? they were able to do basic internet things.
Not really. He just used the machine as a dumb terminal to a modern Linux machine.
I know! There's no way I'm mirroring that, Michael Grunwald might launch an airstrike at me!
and some company offers to manipulate the trending words for a price?
Would there really be a market for manipulating an opinion poll? Having the measure of people's voting rigged won't change the election.
If there is a market for this then maybe there's a market for selling rigged weighing scales to fat people so that the scales say they've lost a pound every time they weigh themselves.
Not really - transaction processing takes far to long because the network has to agree on it.
I dunno, in a cafe you usually pay after you've eaten. I'd assume the time it takes to drink a coffee would be ample time to have a bitcoin transaction approved.
It's ridiculous in this day and age that an OS can fail to make random numbers properly. That's one of the most basic operations. How lazy/incompetent are the Google programmers?
To be fair, aren't random numbers genuinely hard to produce with a computer?
I'd have thought that a mobile phone would be a great source of genuinely random data though. Surely tapping into a compass, an accelerometer or a camera could produce genuinely random input?
As long as temperatures don't exceed 451 degrees, they should be fine
It's called private key, you cretin. Now, go smoke some weed and don't bother the grown-ups will you?

Sound more like a F451 thing than BNW... I may well be wrong though
I'm in the middle of reading it and the OP is right, they removed the phosphorus from cremated bodies for fertilizer in Brave New World.
I remember a lot from the book and movie, but not that detail.
Maybe the Ministry of Truth got to your copy and put that part of the book in a memory hole?
It used to be that I searched for my name and I was top spot, quite proud of it. I've since wise up. Luckily a huge influx of Facebook idiots have the same name and my results are buried
This is exactly my experience!
So much so I'm worried this Anonymous Coward may have stolen my identity!
