The same way they guaranteed retail electricity prices in 2000/2001 without guaranteeing wholesale prices http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C... Oh... wait.
Source data is at http://sealevel.colorado.edu/ The graph shows an average rise of 3.2 mm / year. You can download the data in ASCII format, suitable for plotting at http://sealevel.colorado.edu/f...
Note that this includes a fudge-factor called GIS (Glacial Isostatic Adjustment). They give a long-winded explanation. tl;dr they've added a 10% fudge factor. From http://sealevel.colorado.edu/c...

So they talk out of one side of their mouths about how much sea level is rising. Out of the other side of their mouth, they admit that their numbers aren't really sea level rise.
Another question... what type of effing idiot approves nuclear reactors located such that a sealevel rise of a few inches, let alone a few feet, would cause problems? Anybody ever heard of tsunamis (like at Fukushima)? They're rarer in the Atlantic, but they do happen.

Unless Snapchat has a client-side app that totally takes over your smartphone/tablet there is no way to protect against this attack.

No need to do that. Fecesbook buys Snapchat, and shuts them down. With the shutdown of Snapchat, the 20-year agreement dies along with the corporate shell. Then Fecesbook offers "a new service" which "just happens" to be very similar to Snapchat, but has a much more wide open EULA that protects them aginst FTC investigation.
This isn't just with global warming
It's discrimination against white people...
No wait, it's "reverse discrimination"...
No wait, it's "affirmative action"...
No wait...

In that case, I can see a great corporate push coming to move to IPV6.

It's not just a matter of using Linux versus Windows. I get the occasional spam with poisoned executable attachments inside zipfiles. I view zipfile headers, and often see stuff like the following 2 examples...

".scr" is executable in Windows http://filext.com/file-extensi... so I assume that's a trojan-planting attempt. One possible legal defense is that it's impossible to tell whether you're blocking a trojan sent by police or by foreign criminals.
Like the subject says "Volcano" is missing from the title.
The report deals with a tragedy 11 years ago (Feb 2003), and how it could've been handled 11 years ago. Fast forward to February 2014. Let's use today's tech. We've got SpaceX and other commercial entities capable of launching supplies into orbit and rendezvouing with with ISS or a shuttle.
If any similar missions are undertaken in future, pay SpaceX/whomever, to have a launch vehicle with emergency supplies on standby. In a worst case, send up enough oxygen/water/rations/etc to allow the orbiting shuttle crew to survive longer on the orbiting shuttle. This would buy enough extra time to do a proper and safe inspection+launch of the rescue shuttle. In a best case, they might be able to carry out the necessary repairs and safely land the orbiting shuttle.

Are those "already constructed buildings" new, with sufficient electrical capacity to power your racks of servers, plus everybody's PC plus all the laser-printers in the building. And do they have efficient office layouts?
Or are they 19th-century "heritage buildings" that you can't legally knock down? In many cases, it's more expensive to gut the interior of a building and modernize it, than to simply knock it down and build a new one.
The "dialectizer" http://www.rinkworks.com/diale... "translates" English to Redneck, Jive, Cockney, Elmer Fudd, Swedish Chef, Moron, Pig Latin, or Hacker. And there's an English to Ebonics translator at http://joel.net/EBONICS/Transl... so it won't be that difficult to get a translator that outputs 16-year-old-girl talk.
Include latest service packs and drivers, etc. That might make people forgive them... maybe.
That's great *FOR TABLET USERS*. But it sucks for desktop PC users. MS doesn't seem to understand the difference.

Well... don't write shit programs. FTP "active mode" is an example of said shit. And don't be surprised if someone implements NAT on IPV6.
