This weekend both BT and Sky implemented the new changes, making it harder for their subscribers to reach these sites.
What new changes? What sites?
If all you're going to do is copy and paste a couple of paragraphs from the article, at least pick ones that make more sense by themselves.
Wait, are you talking about China or US or France?
if you want to stop that, invade ireland or establish protectionist trade laws.
As an American I find both of those options to be quite appealing. I'm going to write my congressman and ask that he do both. We can get right wing war hawks to support invasion, and left wing corporatist to support increasing protection of local business. Even if those businesses happen to be trillion dollar corporations.
How, exactly, would the appearance of six words on screen improve your Slashdot experience?
my phone has maybe 100kB of worthwhile stuff on it, the other 31.99GB is bullshit that I don't need long term. I can prove this by when I upgrade my phone I'm not going to copy a lot over other than the address book (which the cloud will do automatically for me)
Also, those tape sizes assume 50% compression. The raw sizes are: DAT 72 = 36 GB, DAT 160 = 80 GB
Maybe he's just got an art hobby, nothing wrong with wanting to preserve the work you did. Maybe 20 years down the road he'll want to process those photos into a completely different composition.

Surely the real news here is that they've been able to make functional use of abstract concepts.
Next they'll announce that they've slashed the electricity bill by powering the magnets with love.

The article could have told us what the protons were actually smashed into, instead...
No, you're just failing to read properly.
They can't really spin the drives faster than 7,200 RPM without increasing heat and the rate of failure.
I have never understood why they can be convinced that a random rock they find in the desert is actually from Mars.
So, do some readingon the topic, and then you will understand. In the meantime, your lack of understanding doesn't change the fact that they can do this.
but it is magical thinking to hold that such a rock definitely came from Mars.
No, it's magical thinking to assume that science must be wrong because you know less than science does.
Given the science used, it would probably require magical thinking to hold that such a rock did not come from Mars.
The article says it left Mars 5 million years ago, which I think clears up both of your confusions.

Were they really nice cigarillos?
The problem is it can be unclear what is meant, or if something is being implied, when people start throwing in synonyms for no real reason. We're not all experts in the field, so when a summary throws in two terms - especially one which, in common usage, often implies a deliberate act (a detonation being the initiation of an explosion) - it's not unexpected that some people might find it confusing - even if all it does is raise suspicion that there might be some extra meaning for the differentiation that's escaping the reader.
I bring you peace.
It's bringing peace! Don't let it get away!
