The problem is that the courts are always biased to some degree. Look at the American Supreme Court and the importance put on the political affiliations of the Judges. This reflected in simple things like rights. Which is more important, the right to swing your fist or the right not to get hit by a swinging fist? While this one seems obvious, lots of questions are more subtle and some types will rule one way and others will rule the opposite.
Actually Bing by default, add a !g and it uses Google. Somethings it works fine for, others such as my old '91 truck, I have to add the !g generally to get good results.
Yet the one that burned up during testing was labeled Apollo 1 even though originally being AS-204 originally. My real point wasn't to argue about NASA's inconsistent naming but that the reference was to the Saturn V rther then the Saturn 1 or 1B.
They probably mean the Saturn V, which first launched in Nov 1967 as the first actual named Apollo, Apollo 4. Previous launches were labeled like AS-201. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Somewhere Mozilla has a lot of info on which CPU's Firefox users are using. I watched development for quite a while and every time they considered having SSE2 as a minimum requirement, they were surprised at the number of machines still not supporting SSE2, mostly Athlon's I believe. The numbers finally got low enough that after 52ESR (soon), the minimum is now a Pentium M. It's also the end of XP support.
I have a T42 here which I still use now and again, nice piece of hardware for its time. It's a Pentium M at 1.4 GHz and runs stuff satisfactorily. Things like Firefox take a long time to start but run fine once started.
The truth is every supported OS drops support for CPUs at some point and businesses have to be ready to adapt whether they are windows, os/2 or linux.
While true, it raises the question of why. In OS/2's case for example, the minimum currently is i686 (Pentium Pro) due to so much current software needing the atomic instructions that weren't available on older CPU's and in this day of multiple cores, SMP support is important. Generally with SSE or other simd instructions, there are slower code paths that can be easily taken that don't depend on simd instructions.
"Aspirin", with a capital "A" is still trademarked here and in many countries, 80+ according to wiki, which also says
Bayer lost its trademark for Aspirin in the United States in 1918 because it had failed to use the name for its own product and had for years allowed the use of "Aspirin" by other manufacturers
Bounty systems and similar. Community raises X amount to finance a project or developer (who should have a reputation of carrying through) says that if the community can raise X, he will do this amount of work. I know of at least one small company making a living for a couple of developers and a developer/manager this way.
The whole point of science fiction is you can do anything you want
No, that's science fantasy. Science fiction should be self consistent. Sure you can have some new science that is indistinguishable from magic, but it should be consistent, not do anything you want. No changing the rules just because.
It'll be like the auto industry was when they didn't have to compete globally, cars that only had odometers that went to 99,999.9 because they'd never last long enough to hit 100,000 and Americans going on about how wonderful their automobile industry is.
Minimum wage was implemented back before plastics were common. America was late to the party, introducing it (nationally) in '38, 40 years after Australia. Earlier, like in 1349, there were maximum wage laws. Just because the labourers were mostly wiped out by the black death, didn't mean paying them more, no matter how much the peasants thought otherwise.
Can they be lobbied to word it a certain way? I've seen a couple of referendums that were worded in such a way that yes meant no and no meant yes, at least until the second reading. Initiative to protect privacy, Do you agree that privacy should not be protected, yes/no.
Yes, I seemed to have mis-remembered. Also Wiki disagrees with my memory and says ice caps at both poles. Better link, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... which includes this,
The Current Ice Age has seen extensive ice sheets in Antarctica for the last 34 Ma. During the last 3 Ma ice sheets have also developed on the northern hemisphere. This phase is known as the Quaternary glaciation, and has seen more or less extensive glaciation on 40,000 and later, 100,000 year cycles.
I guess it is semantics which is hot house earth and ice house earth.
Actually, 2000 years ago, the Romans had some pretty good concrete, some of which is still around. Then there was close to 2000 years of no good concrete. Perhaps in the same way, we'll regress for a millennia or more. Technological advance has always been in fits and jerks and often with steps backwards.
Of course liberartarian socialism is a thing, I'd suggest that you look more at Orwell's description of Catalonia, at least the part before the Stalinists showed up and fucked things. You can also look at how things are currently in Cataonia and Northern Italy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/....

I bought a large kitchen knive recently (Canada), it was wrapped up pretty good in a clamshell and needed another knive to open the package.
I'll have to test those.

And how many successful commercial Thorium reactors are currently operating?
It's a lot harder to fuse 3He then 2H, which would be the first step that we haven't taken.

My understanding is they used grease pencils rather then graphite.
Perhaps Athlon's that never supported SSE2 and was manufactured to 2005, so perhaps still being sold new in 2006.
Stuxnet says otherwise.

Are you going for a funny mod? Or do you just love brutal dictators, which the US military seems to spend all its time supporting.

Humans are the most adaptable animal species that the planet has ever produced.
Considering how long some animal species have survived, it is going to be a few hundred million years before that can be stated accurately.
Ice age is defined as times when the polar regions have a permanent ice cover. The Earth has been in an ice age for the last 2.5 million odd years.
