The petition was not removed, but randomly chosen for special screening in a side room, away from public eyes to protect its privacy. Hence you saw it "under maintenance".
Unfortunately it has been determined that the petition was carrying some dangerous baggage, and therefore it was denied boarding rights to the oval office. It is now blacklisted for future trips.

The acronym for Aerial Regional-Scale Environment Surveyor should instead be read as ARSES... Which kinda fits for a mission looking for methane emissions and germs.

And of course I meant the British National Portrait Gallery.

Otherwise, even public domain art scannings can get them in trouble.
Like the recent shameful lawsuit by the National Art Gallery
That some jackass artist's agent lawyers-up at the slightest prospect of getting another shinny penny in the pocket, I can expect. But a taxpayer funded institution which main objective should be the preservation and public outreach of fine art (a lot of which outside the scope of any copyright bindings), that's just unacceptable.

That's the purpose. So Mr. car driver, you're afraid of my bike-frame-mounted piece of laser awesomeness? Then GET SOME DISTANCE OFF ME.
Or in other words, if you're blind enough to ignore me on the road, I'll make sure you stay blind for good. Besides the lane projected in the image is red, and everyone knows in the animal world red means "don't mess with me".

Due to all the international pressure and bad publicity gathered from the original move to mandate the installation of Green Dam on every computer, China backpedaled from the decision.
So it seems weird to me that this kind of protests are being organized. It would make a lot more sense to educate people about how to uninstall the dam(n) software out of their machines, or why people should not willingly accept to install it under the usual "think of the children" argument.
Having said that, it's a free country, and he can protest whatever he wants... Wait, no... I'll be back to you on that one.

In other words, they are fusing wikipedia and wikimedia, which is also maintained by the wikimedia foundation.
Oh, and adding browser-based video editing. Which is interesting and may indeed attract some non-technical people.

So knowing how on Earth water and life are so intrinsically associated, this seems like the perfect spot to send a future rover mission. In the past we got some inconclusive results from biochemical analysis of the soil in more arid zones of the red planet. Perhaps on this spot we can be more lucky?
Also, the proof of early existence of liquid water on the planet also hints at a denser atmosphere and warmer temperatures on those times. This is very promising!

I guess we just like to feel special. We think of ourselves as something more than an organized lump of matter, part of which because we still can't explain consciousness. That day will come though.
Once we also had to accept that after all we are a kind of ape.

NOTE TO SELF: Maybe I should have made the sarcasm in the post a little more obvious?

This will be a blast of a tool for web developers. Imagine developing your work anywhere on your laptop, regardless of availability of internet connection.

What makes sense to analyze is not just the hard disk prices per se, but how the price sweet spot evolves in specs, as well as the sweet spot price trends. There's an interesting article about this here
