If Oracle doesn't have the authority to compel teams of government employees to finalize their requirements, then they by definition Oracle isn't running the project.

Bleach isn't just for laundry. Look for "industrial cleaners", not "Laundry products."
Clorox doesn't have a lock on the laundry or cleaning products market by far. Plus, the figure is worldwide. There's a lot of bleach all over the place.
Not sure how accurate this is, since it's from wikipedia, but the reference seems legit.
In 2008, a study of common cleaning products found the presence of carbon tetrachloride in "very high concentrations" (up to 101 mg/m3) as a result of manufacturers' mixing of surfactants or soap with sodium hypochlorite (bleach).[18]

FTA:
"By mixing surfactants or soap with NaOCl, it was shown that the formation of carbon tetrachloride and several other halogenated VOCs is possible"
First, kill all the outdoor cats. Once the bird population recovers we can go after the power plants.
Humans have been interacting with technology since the dawn of the species.
"Hey grog, stop staring into that fucking fire all the time, it'll ruin your eyes"
"That beer is going to kill you"
"That meat stuff you're eating is unnatural. Humans were meant to eat berries and plants and shit."
"Cooking is going to rot your brain. Meat was meant to be eaten raw."
I mean, come on. Blame chemicals, which are more likely to be the problem than "man interacting with technology." That's like blaming your fleshbot for the fact that you don't meet any women - oh wait.
Bugs mostly come from when you're not paying attention, or you forgot something.
If you've doing difficult coding then writing code is the last thing you doing be doing. By the time you get to writing code it shouldn't be difficult anymore.
Wait, is this guy talking about space drives or global warming?
FTA:
1. The magnitude of these effects varied tremendously from experiment to experiment.
2. The threshold of measurement—the difference between a detection and a non-detection—was always extremely close to the actual claimed detection.
3. Many attempts at confirming the experiments by some of the leading scientists of the day, including Lord Kelvin, Heinrich Rubens and Robert Wood, all produced null results.
4. And finally, even if you restricted your data sets to the positive the experimental results, their claims were inconsistent with one another.
It doesn't. But it matters in the court of public opinion, which is why this is news.
Samsung's penalties have been pathetically small, so there's no real cost to them when it comes to violating and/or ignoring other people's IP.
Samsung's position is entirely rational, but less than ethical.
Jesus christ, shit is free and you're like "oh, my fucking technical skill suck so much that I need content spoon fed into my retinas."
Haven't you heard the good news about Wine? Install it on your lame linux box and run the iTunes installer. You can ask the interwebs how to do it.
Just want to point out that iTunes U has amazing and free content available to anyone with iTunes. It's unbelievable how easy it is to learn almost anything you want. If you're not taking advantage of it you must be suffering from (in the words of an old colleague) recto-cranial inversion.
Maybe the good Senator thinks Hungary is somewhere in Kansas and that Finland is somewhere near Alaska. He is from Alabama, so it's hard to say. As Tom Lehrer once sang about another southerner, "He's from Georgia, and doesn't speak the language very well."
There's no real relationship to Microsoft's Nokia layoffs and H-1B visas, except for those people in Seattle maybe. But the Seattle folks a be marketing people or managers, and you don't usually get H1-B visas for marketeers and managers.
He didn't really get a treasure trove. He got some stuff that was sort of interesting, and maybe unfortunate.
It's not like he got every transaction of everyone who's used the system, their names, addresses, passwords, credit cards, security questions, etc.
The higgs particle imparts mass the same way that donut holes impart mass, but differently.
