They'd make quite a team, and the debates might finally be watchable.

Not dead. Sold.

If you're assaulted by the police, they'll most likely charge you with assault.

When lawyers make decisions, the decision is always 'Pay some lawyers!' Never 'Pay some engineers!'

This affects what, 3 actual living persons?

With the history of the one child policy and Chinese culture favoring male heirs, there's going to be a lot of Chinese bachelors that can't find wives. That's going to be a lot of horny, frustrated, unemployed men that can't afford homes. Prime fodder to have their frustrations directed outward by a war of expansion where they can be burned off as cannon fodder.
A good investment would be for propaganda promoting the gay agenda in China.
I am only partly joking here.

There are two TLS extensions that fix these problems - one is including your certificate fingerprint in DNS and the other is multiple signatures. Both have good standards and the industry is painfully slow to adopt them.

+1 for Guinea Pig B reference! One of the world's most successful failures.

<i> I want to be responsible for my money, and I want to be able to use it freely, without government snooping.</i>

Use cash - it's like bitcoin but it can't be tracked across the Internet.

Of course, if you take cash from some people and then give it to other people, well then you must be a criminal.

I was gonna say set your preferences to -5 AC posts, but I can't find the setting at the moment - did they get rid of it for beta? Somebody probably can post the link to the scoring prefs.

"economic collapse"?!
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Why, Dubai's economy is so healthy that people just leave their Ferraris sitting on the street when they get bored with them.
Dubai's a fucking economic miracle, the laws of gravity (or karma) do not apply.

Good thing they're going to enclose the important parts under an environmentally controlled dome then. Truly these guys are planning ahead.

I just checked and they state that the TS-7260 draws half a watt minimum and 2W typical... I seem to recall it drawing even less than that though. Perhaps it was 200mA @ 3.3V which would fit within their spec.

The embedded ARM boards from Technologic Systems are worth looking at also. I used a TS-7260 with a large enough SD card to install Debian with gcc and it worked great. It booted nearly instantly and consumed something like 100mA of current at 3.3V IIRC. It was quite a robust little box. There are newer and faster models than the TS-7260 at the link I provided above.

Not according to HR.

We're already hiring for somebody with 5-10 years of Dart programming experience. HR says we have to.
