The article acts as if they are wasting $350 million by completing it. But it does not say how much has been spent already. Maybe there is not that much money to save by cancelling it?
And I can't believe that the NASA will not use it in the future, the article also gives no real reason for that.

Fructose occurs naturally in fruits, but not in that large amounts and only combined with fibre. You would never eat that much fruits, and the fructose would be taken up slower.

But we can only cope with low body hair because we know ho to make clothes. Animals can't do that and will either loose to much energy keeping their body warm or cool down and become slow and easy prey.

I think this could also be a by-product. Having low amounts of body hair greatly reduces problems with parasites. It gives us most flexibility for the temperatures that we can collect fruits in.
Reducing the hair and especially increasing the number of sweet glands are probably quite simple modifications. And we had over a million years to become what we are, so only minimal selective pressure is needed.

There was no way to burn CDs at home in 1990. Just take a look at the Wikipedia article on CD-R.
A 1990 CD writer was the size of a washing machine and costing $35000. The first recorder under $1000 came out in September 1995.

Cyber attacks can cause large damage without much risk.
That physical attack was just stupid. It can't do much damage since it hits only one power plant, and the attacker can be caught moreeasily.

Don't bioses have master passwords anymore?

Psychopaths have empathy, they can just turn it off.
Good point that people with empathy can make dispassionate decissions when needed. I would say intelligent people can do that normally.
Makes me wonder what is so special about psychopaths, maybe that they turn their empathy off more regularly, and more easily?

Yes, it is more obvious in classical electrodynamics. For all waves and electromagnetic fields the superposition principle can be applied because the Maxwell equations are linear. This means that if you add any fields or other waves to an incoming wave you can describe the result mathematically as the sum of the incoming wave and whatever you generate.
According to the Maxwell equations the incoming wave is influenced by susceptibility and permeability of the materials it is going through, and by charges and currents. But waves and fields are just added to the fields of it, they do not change the original wave. So to compensate changes in a wave you have to add a wave that compensates the changes, and this wave must be actively adapted to the incoming wave.

So "the ability of electromagnetic fields to redirect or scatter waves of energy" means that they just send out electromagnetic waves that interfere with the waves around the object? Was already wondering since when electromagnetic fields can redirect electromagnetic waves. That only works in Star Trek.

Obviously the microphone of a standard laptop is good enough.

If they use a compiler that is older than Truecrypt they would avoid that the compiler could insert any code specifically into Truecrypt.
Truecrypt 1.0 is from February 2004, Visual C++ 1.52 is from the Nineties, so if someone still has an old copy they should be safe.

They even do the same in Europe. This is so absurd.

My thought was that the women painted this while being at home, to show young children what the men are doing when they are away.

The efficiency of the lasers could be increased by replacing the flash light bulbs pumping it with laser diodes, from about 1% to up to 20%. This also increases the cost a lot though.
