There's at least 3 problems with your post. 1. The NSA doesn't obey the law. 2. You can't believe anything written about them. 3. You're probably NSA, because who else would defend those jokers?

Won't this require a 2nd copy of the shared libraries in memory, which will negate the benefit of a slightly smaller binary?

It should be the courts, which is why the idea of secret courts is an abomination.

Are they really complete rockets? Is the documentation available to verify that they are 100% complete?

I know weight is important and all, but .75mm of aluminium? Really? Maybe they should have less scientists over there at NASA and more people with common sense who can raise their eyebrows.

Why check his business bigotry at the door, and get her the iPad she wanted?

The prospectus says he is building something eco-friendly. Is it really eco-friendly to build a car from 500,000 individual pieces, shipped from Denmark, one that has zero practical use, then ship it from Romania to Melbourne? And is the power efficiency of using electricity to fill an air tank and then power 256 plastic pistons really power efficient?

Cool, yes. Eco-friendly? Nope.

You wouldn't think so, but in fairness to Apple, these were pretty old machines, which means they had pretty old versions of OS-X. My guess is Apple closed this bug a long time ago, which is why the researchers had to use old Macs.

Come to that, since they're building an nbn with high capacity land based connectivity, all broadcast is unnecessary.

With the rising difficulty, you can't make money now without it being near to $1000. If it was much less, people would stop mining it.

If a database is good, it should be possible to use it for ALL problem domains.

Of course, by this criteria, a relational database is NOT "good".

But I would have thought an object database is good, and would work in any situation. Unfortunately, they never seemed to really take off.

Anyway, I'd rather be using an object database for complex data of ANY kind than some crazy XML database. I can sort of see why a health application that might have tons and tons of fields might be tempted to use an XML storage, but I still think its a mistake. XML is ALWAYS a mistake.

The organic industry was ALWAYS marketed as naturalness, not "better" (whatever that means).

If that's true, it only reinforces that the article makes a good point that its no different to genetic engineering. In fact, then it really is genetic engineering using a different technique and should be regulated the same way.

If this is so "natural", they won't be patenting the result.... RIGHT????

I don't know, those 50000 networks are probably no less secure than before. The NSA probably has an encrypted secure channel into them, which is no easier to hack than whatever exploit they originally used to get in. Who knows, they might have even closed the original exploit and made them more secure.
