"cuts to the military"

Those are not the cuts you are looking for.

Those "cuts" are reductions in the projected increase. It's still increasing.

For the military, UP means DOWN. And everyone is looking forward to the "Litte Big War" against Iran with itemized bills.

Where's da Higgs at, yo?

> "full design power of 7 TeV per beam in 2015"

Sadly not. CERN seems to have settled for a maxout at 6.5 TeV for safety reasons. They don't want to risk blowing the interconnects, if I understand correctly.

And in particular, the summary of the Chamonix technical meeting [Not averse to skiing, are we?], here:

https://indico.cern.ch/getFile.py/access?sessionId=8&resId=1&materialId=1&confId=164089

"DO NOT GO FOR 7TeV PER BEAM DUE TO THE RISK ASSOCIATED WITH MANY HUNDREDS (THOUSAND) QUENCHES - Around 6.5TeV/beam is safer and sufficient"

"encrypted messages between Hitler and his generals"

These would not have been very interesting.

"Falling back will be handled as treason. Bomb! bomb! bomb! We are winning! Nein! Nein! Nein!"

etc. etc. etc. Much like any politician's blather today.

Intellectual Property Claims - Weapons of Mass Destruction

"Google was one of many companies that could have faced massive penalties if the case had been successful"

This is like saying that my neighbor would be one of many people facing massive sunburn if a nuke went off in center town.

Stop thinking about headlines? Headlines _are_ all that's left.

So in foreign politics:

http://www.spiked-online.com/index.php/site/article/12054/

"The West’s turnaround [on Syria], its malarial leap from courting to condemning, reveals the lack of any political anchor in Western foreign policy-making today, which leads to a situation where Western foreign policy can become highly suggestible, shaped more by the short-term PR needs of people like Clinton and Hague than by anything so old-fashioned as carefully worked-out national interests."

The West has lost, get over it.

How about a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. theme park?

"I said come in, don't stand there!"

Wild speculation? We have it!

"So my best guess at this stage would be that the attackers managed to upload something malicious on the [services.foxconn.com] server and somehow used that to gain access."

They could also have used Psy powers.

Guess they still seize too much money from the populace.

The SQL query economy! The MF3/BF3 economy! The War with Iran Pusher economy.

Really, it just shows what people are doing at the moment and hopefully being paid for.

If your wife doesn't want to see beer in the fridge buy orange juice or try another brand.

"If Sun doesn't want to work with us, we have two options: 1) Abandon our work and adopt MSFT CLR VM and C# language – or – 2) Do Java anyway and defend our decision, perhaps making enemies along the way."

This is "incriminating" only to people who have never had to make a business decision. Hell, that kind of "problem if you do, problem that can possibly be finagled if you don't" is made daily.

Uncertainty in markets and stealing from oneself

"Even as the spectrum was awarded, back in 2008, politicians were accused of stitching up the public purse by failing to auction the bands."

Someone hasn't quite understood that the money that goes into the public purse doesn't appear magically out of nowhere. It has to be paid back to the shareholders eventually. From the telecom service fees. So ultimately the public purse is being filled by punters.

> Europe

> Proclaims that it wants to usher in the "information economy" and "progress".

> Tax-feeding drones sign random intellectual property shit proposed by lobbyists [financed among others by intellectual property reimbursement schemes]

> Making any prospects of the "information economy" go buh-bye.

> But at least proud that it's not being controlled by Big Business like the Ameurricans are.

Was he hired out of the door?

How did they manage that? Don't these people have explosive collars or slamhounds keyed to their MHC that mercilessly track them down?

[slamhound n.m.: not the sex fiend meaning, the William Gibson meaning, okay?]

"Our business is subject to complex and evolving US and foreign laws and regulations regarding privacy, data protection, and other matters."

...not to mention evolving US and foreign laws and regulations regarding secrecy, pervasive surveillance, terrorist hunting and other matters.

"That’s not to say you’ll do nothing, there’s still the action button to hammer as you hit the auto attack choice – the AI nearly always picking attacks most effective against your current foe."

That would be useful in Afghanistan.

Also, what IS that cactus swastika thing?

Nice app, shame about the content.

These are not the "News" you are looking for.

STALIN stopped by UNPLUGGED RJ-45!

No government was involved. World goes on as before.

Correction M'lord!

"Back in the early 2000s, Intel was trying to protect its high-end 64-bit Itanium server business and push its Xeon processors down"

Shouldn't that be "was starting to milk its high-end 64 bit Itanium in the corporate sector, expanding it with FUD, empty promises and dumb hype via press articles against MIPS and Alpha while pushing its overheating, slow-as-hell NetBurst-based crap to the 32-bit unwashed masses"

I still can remember the tremendous propellers on the motherboards.

"his work have helped advance open government."

I suppose you can now check your medical records from inside the Gitmo Concentration Camp.

"because Elsevier holds the copyright"

Which effectively terminates the market, replacing it by monopoly enforced by the guns of the state. The legislation for THAT being maintained and extended through stuffed envelopes handed to lawmakers.

Copyright - not being used to remunerate the crying creative people or sadfrog writers in the El Reg Copyright Defense Corner.

But it's usual practice. Even the IEEE and ACM rape and pillage, and they really should know better: http://www.crypto.com/blog/copywrongs/
