> The nuclear waste problem still hasn't gone away. Building new COAL plants is insane.

There, I fixed that for you.

I agree. Coal plants spew out coal ash which is very radioactive. We should close all Coal plants immediately.

I'm sorry, but to me it looks more like a gorilla swinging it's body, moving both feet forward between it's long arms. Just sayin.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

And then what we need is an "Auto-Notary-Approval-And-Removal" service so that we don't have to do maintenance on our approved list of notaries.

Electrons on the outside, photons on the inside. Double the bandwidth.

I'm tired of these anonymous decision makers and their ridiculous decisions. Find out their name. Post their name. Where's the FBI?

Let me clarify.

As technical lead on the project I can determine that the best way to support the product is to introduce libraries or source code that makes the application more stable and or perform better. If I determine that open source code is the best course to take and I introduce it to the product's code base, would that require the whole product to be open sourced? Could the clients running the application required the source be opened?

So let's say I work for a company that has software used by a few fairly large financial institutions and my company wants to kill that software in favor of something..."else". The net result is that the customers are under heavy pressure to purchase the "else", and I'm going to be out of a job. Can I plant some open source libraries or source code into the product, sit back for a while, then demand the company release the rest of the product as open source?

It's seems like all this article and comments are doing is dancing around the real issue. Amazon provides a pretty good service, but it's being attacked. It's like calling a car unreliable when thieves have stolen the wheels. I'm becoming increasingly frustrated by the lack of effort being made to identify the attacker(s) and take appropriate action(s) against them.

China can't use their billion slaves to launch anything into space.

It's just you. DARPA is developing an electric airplane for personal transportation. It's twin engine, VTOL.

Please Mythbusters, test this on various meats so we can get some penetration numbers.

FTFA,

There. A little more on topic for you? Yeah, I was going for funny. It does take all the fun out of it to have to explain it.

CmdrTaco's title is unabashedly trolling. He never struck me as an iOS fanboi before. That's right. I said it.
