You missed one of variations. I tried them all but I cannot login

This is how this works at microsoft:
Janitor to junior programmer: On windows these two buttons are close together and I frequently misclick. It should take day to fix.
junior programmer to senior programmer: I got idea how improve windows, it should only take three days.
senior programmer to manager: Could our team work on this? It will take only nine days.
...
VP to Ballmer: I received project proposal to improve core windows functionality. It will take 165 years to complete.
Ballmer: 165 years? (Throws a chair.)

I remember that same post was at slashdot few months ago. I do not remember exact wording, google just shows links to ths article.

I agree that writing article is expensive.
However this makes second part contrary to what you say. Direct cost are small and payed by university so this is not big factor. However if you add editing and administrative costs they easily sum up to quarter of total cost.
And because you did not negotiate you will pay that from your pocket.
You have good to sell(article) and can move to investment banker for example. You should determine terms of contract not other way around.

I also find misleading title where they by cost mean publishing cost.

Also grad students heavily subsidy your journal article. Add extra $25,000 per student if they found job instead.
What concerns me most is that proofreading/editing/typography is burden of researcher.
My optimistic estimate of proofreading/editing s about $5000 including revisions. Here you again subsidy journal/university as you ineffectively do what professional editor could do better with half of time and budget.

Well it is movie plot plan. Hacker A: gets access to evernote Hacker B: Look these passwords are hashed and salted Hacker A: Never mind. We issue password reset and send passwords to evil.com

Yes according to this article http://games.slashdot.org/story/02/10/24/2251234/

But since the majority of people out there are not experts in Tort Law/Contract Law/Louisiana law/what laws have you, they can't do squat with politics. It''s like voting for one canditate out of two and expecting me to know everything about him to get reform if I so desire

If internet goes down then we can use RFC 1149.

Basic advice on trolling: Follow hyperlinks to get superficially correct posts and avoid mistakes like writing about embedded guy that he exclusively uses C#

There exists a conspiracy theory that phones were forbidden to monetize in-plane calls for 10$ per minute.

His plan was simple:
1. Make crappy game.no Windows RT
2. Write blog how bad Windows RT is
3. Get $1000000 from microsoft and write how awasome Windows RT is
4. Profit

Which is theoretically correct but completely different in practice.
When you do not care about sorting performance using library function is best.
When you care about performance then optimized radixsort almost always wins by huge margin.(Using radixsort on floats is typical exercise.)
Exception is when you require wild sorting order which does not happen often.
Unless your data does not fit into memory where variant of quicksort is best.

Really? Even simple examples like this:

int sum(int *s){long i;
int su=0;
for(i=0;i<128;i+=2) su+=s[i]*s[i+1];
return su;
}

Results in 765 byte monstrosity by latest icc and 1095 bytes with gcc
