I remember reading the predictions decade after decade since the 1950's. The ones I've read always said 20 years in the future. I guess maybe you have to be a detractor to say 50.
And it uses the theory of differential forms where appropriate. Often where antisymettric tensors show up, the geometrical intuition is differential forms.
Misner, Thorene, and Wheeler's Gravitation is an excellent book. It explains the ideas behind the mathematics, shows you what the mathematics does, and how it expresses the physics. It's visual, as a lot of math really is once you figure out what the symbols mean. I spent a happy summer vacation reading it while sunbathing many decades ago.
It would surprise me if someone hasn't already embedded tor into a botnet.
I don't want to have to look away from the road.

Car Window Touchscreens

· Score: 4, Insightful
I've seen commercials touting the driving experience using touch screens... The *last8 thing I want to do is take my eyes off the road to look at a menu while I adjust the volume of the car radio. It's bad enough that the controls I have now operate at a touch -- I want to be able to feel the control and know it's the right one by fell alone before I press it, all while continuing to look out the front window.,

The meat in a quarter-pounder doesn't even weigh a quarter-pound. It did before it was cooked, but in cooking, the weight goes down.
Eagle, in his book "The Elliptic Functions as they Should Be" has already introduced tau as one-half pi, saying it's natural to use a one-legged letter as half of a two-legged letter.
Have a look at www.dmoz.org, the so-called Open Directory. Not that I suggest you post your notes on that site, but it is a good example how a directories-and-links homebrew solution could work. You could even have the actual notes sitting outside the index tree.
What I'd like on top of this is a mechanism to track files as they get moved around in the file system, which does happen occasionally. Also to keep track of their copyright and confidentiality status, so I can avoid releasing that which shouldn't be.
Seriously, whatever you end up doing in more advanced or more applied courses (if that's the right word for homeschooling), start with "How To Design Programs". It teaches you how to *think* about just about everything else in computing. There's a second edition in progress. Both the original book and the draft second edition (which is probably much better) are available for free downloads. The original can also be purchased on paper.
The software system that goes with it is also free: Dr. Scheme, now renamed as Racket.
It's not such an obscure thing to want. There are a lot of fan-fiction authors. And I think most fan-fiction itself should be published under such a license. I've certainly wanted there to be a standard license like this for things I've written.
A few years ago I heard that carbon fibres did cause significant health risks when inhaled, much like asbestos fibres,.Does the same apply to grapheme?

It's been done in Modula 3 a long time ago, too (and the OS was called SPIN). Writing an OS without using C is nothing new.
Then there's Gambit, a Scheme implementation that compiles Scheme to C. Instant C compatibility!

Just keep using the 7.11 release.
Exactly. Now hope that Linux distros make this an installation option, perhaps after autodetecting the old hardware.
Sounds like it's time for a legacy fork for old machines. Or maybe just keeping old versions alive, the way Linux distros do with other libraries.

I don't believe it.
OK. How do you use the 90-degree rotated widescreen? How do you get the software to reorient in that direction?

That's right, of course.

"Charm" is a pretty arbitrary word.
"Color" is chosen because it has three primaries, but the term has no other relevance.
"spin", on the other hand, was chosen because the mathematics was awfully similar to the math for angular momentium.
(a) Whatever iit it, it\s spherically symmetrical.
(b) A point is a sphere of radius zero.

Whatever it is is spherically symmetrical.
Why not just use a prism?
Thanks for the detail. That's consistent with what I read.
