Well, for example, if you get something like

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[UINavigationController setList:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x6a33840'

You can search for "Terminating app due to uncaught exception" NSInvalidArgumentException "unrecognized selector sent to instance"

(In this case, the search actually does appear to work correctly)

Usually, just copying and pasting some static part of the error message is quite helpful since others will have pasted the exact same words in some help forum.

That usually does improve things, but not always. I often still get results as if I hadn't used any quotes at all, even though exact matches do exist and are displayed further down. And even a "+" in front of a word often gives sites that don't contain the word at all. Tip for Google, if someone writes "+" in front of a word, that really really really means that they really really want that word to actually appear on the page. Really. I'd rather get no results at all than a bunch of sites that don't contain the word.

Nah, they just rolled out a big flat poster on the supposed lander site. Can't tell the difference from orbit.

No, they were just trying to fake their flights around the moon. "See, we really sent a probe around the moon, here's the proof, we've photographed the Apollo landing site!". In reality they just photoshopped a lander and craters on some sandpaper.

Yes, they first tried to do it in the Nevada desert, but they couldn't get the sound right.

O, yeah, when a flaw is found in iOS, you can just switch to Android and buy all the same apps you had on iOS. And then when another flaw is found in Android a couple of weeks later, you switch right back to iOS again. This time it's even easier because you only have to rebuy the apps you bought since the last switch. And if both platforms have open holes at the same time, well, just use an oldfashioned dumb phone for a while. Oh, you might even try a Microsoft phone (do they still make those?) for a while. See, plenty of options!

Same for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. Just buy multiple versions of all the apps you use in the office and you're all set. Or maybe try Haiku, I hear it has zero exploits in the wild.

Take a look in your KeyChain to see what else it stores that you may not even know about. Logins for websites, for example.

They will get backdoored as well, since most politicians keep using normal civilian tools (hotmail, iPhones, USB sticks, etc.) no matter what ultra-secure tools you offer them.

No, the article says that 1 kg would have been enough to completely power the entire mission, and only 2 grams would have been needed for a combination of Plutonium heating and solar power. That last option would have been enough (according to the article).

Oh, yeah, 2 grams of plutonium will totally cause that kind of destruction.

If it has a half life longer than humanity's been in existence, it can't be very radioactive.

And what does a few grams of plutonium have to do with nuclear power plants blowing up?

Apparently, enough people find these interesting and vote them up every time so they keep appearing on the front page of Slashdot. I know, democracy is a bitch. Personally it doesn't bother me too much.

The problem is probably that funding research is a different budget than funding launches. So they will prefer to postpone the research and pay more for the Russians to do it, rather than save money in the long run by letting SpaceX finish their program and then do the launches much cheaper. That's the way bureaucracy works.

Especially after the Russians refused to sell their rockets to Elon when he went there many years ago.

But then again, money is money, and they need funding for manned missions to develop the Mars project, so who knows.
