A good set of rules already exists:
1. No poofters.
2. No member of the faculty is to maltreat the "Abos" in any way whatsoever—if there's anyone watching.
3. No poofters.
4. I don't want to catch anyone not drinking in their room after lights out.
5. No poofters.
6. There is no... rule six.
7. No poofters.

Just replace poofters with "imminent threat."

. . . do you end up with a raging fire . . . ?

Sorry, guys . . . no one will be able to outbid The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation . . .

If Bill Gates wants redemption, by doing good works, instead of fighting disease in Africa . . . he should have stopped the disease that was SCO FUD.

Actually, I'm surprised that the French are not insulted by the move. Google is not admitting any guilt about "stealing content". Google is saying that French media companies need "development aid", like a Internet Third World country. In other words, Google is not the problem, the French media organizations are, because they have yet to understand this newfangled Internet thingie.

So I wonder where this money will actually be spent . . . ? First a few big lavish kick-off parties for the heads of the media companies and politicians. Then, fund a few big studies at French research institutes, like INRIA.

Poof! That 60 € million is gone, and nobody is the wiser.

. . . because sometimes, Libraries of Congress aren't appropriate as units.

You could, however, measure total processing power as number of Libraries of Congress filled with iPhones. Which would make just amount sense of comparing a Mars Rover to a smart phone in the first place . . .

Well, I've got one of these plugged into my Samsung Galaxy Note 2:

I wrote some USB host code to read the stick, and send alarms with MQTT to an IBM Intelligent Operations Center.

Maybe I need to move to China, or something.

. . . my employer has outsourced sleep.

Just use some chutzpah. Contact them, and specifically ask about this project:

It seems that with any new technology, porn always wants to be one of the first users.

This is a sign that Raspberry Pi will be a great success, if the Adults Only crowd is moving there!

Sure we will. We're already merrily on our way to bombing ourselves back into the "Stone Ages".
