yes this may cause some inconvenience to some fishermen or other seamen, but the ocean is big.
And inconvenience to their families, and their customers, and their customers' families...
There are not enough fishing grounds to go around as it is. Can't they go and play somewhere else? Or is part of the exercise looking at how the UK deals with food shortages?
So it's just occurred to me that G+ is a good way of hosting debates on your favourite topics without needing a social link as strong as a "Facebook friend." Look at how Robert Llewellyn is using it for an example. It's more engaging than a blog but less intimate for Facebook so it's almost the perfect fan club mechanism for whatever. (In his case, the next generation of personal transport.)
Twitter is a microblogging platform and not much more, as I understand it.
It may have started that way - but now there are a good proportion of people that use Twitter for the online portion of their social lives IN PREFERENCE TO Facebook or indeed SMS.
It seems to me that many people join Twitter, follow a few celebs, and then say they can't see the point and it's just full of self-promoting celebs. I trust you can all see the fallacy here.
Facebook and Twitter (and G+) are tools, and they are what you make them. Twitter's fantastic for socialising with other people who share a not-so-popular interest. I can watch F1 down the pub IRL; I can follow the Le Mans series on Twitter.
i think DR Who is one of the only shows that the original broadcaster actually cares about shows that got erased.
Possibly because it's one of the few media companies with any sort of organisational continuity between 1963 and now... which neatly demonstrates another issue with current practice in corporate intellectual property.
That is true in general terms. However, in the context of TFA, we are discussing whether consumers need a "1GBit" link. An actual, real, link, not a theoretical one.
Whether or not they need 1GBit of throughput, they certainly ALSO need equal or better latency to current systems.
In my humble opinion a home worker or casual web user will benefit much more from better latency and consistency, at this point in the development of the market. But that's really hard to do, so instead the industry is busy convincing everybody that what they really need is the stuff that's easy to deliver; more raw bandwidth. (As opposed to usable, practical, bandwidth.)
Is it summer? YES -> Is there any proper news this week? NO -> Do you have a copy deadline to meet? YES -> Have you done ANY research on ANYTHING? NO -> Submit story on Cleverbot. Do not include any information at all about the general state of AI.
There are quite a lot of theories that provide for unification at MUCH higher energies (10^15 / 10^16 GeV.) The problem is, if LHC isn't big enough to prove something either way, it's a HELL of a gap to cross experimentally. (The "desert.")
"or something that plays the Higgs role" - which doesn't need to be a particle, necessarily. It could emerge from the dynamics, like Cooper pairs in superconductivity.
The Mormon church tries very hard to narrow your social existence down to just other mormons. They have special fellowship groups for mormon singles to make sure you're meeting and marrying other mormons. They have their own TV channel with programming they expect you to watch - and if you don't watch it, everyone at church will admonish you when they talk about what was on and you don't know what they're talking about. There is tremendous pressure to conform, and there is lots of programming that starts early. You know how women dream of the "perfect wedding"? Well, in the mormon church, they program you from a very early age to really want to be married at the mormon temple in Utah. Don't behave the way the church wants you to? No perfect wedding for you!
I'd guess the answer to 1 and 2 is "it depends." There must be rarities for which a full-on expert is required with white gloves and a wand (and in their spare time they supplement their income as street magicians.)

Or several short stories in Greg Egan's "Axiomatic" or his novel "Quarantine." Or indeed pretty much any cyberpunk.

I believe it's acceptable to record proceedings as an aid to note-taking. However the recordings themselves are not directly admissible as evidence.
I'm not what would happen if a court case came down to "your word against his" and one of the parties turned out to have a clandestine recording...

GigE comes on nearly every new computer.

How journalism works.
Is it summer?
YES
-> Is there any proper news this week?
NO
-> Do you have a copy deadline to meet?
YES
-> Have you done ANY research on ANYTHING?
NO
-> Submit story on Cleverbot. Do not include any information at all about the general state of AI.
Occasionally you can get a witty or funny answer, but no more than random chance. Often you just get something stupid or out of context back.
Which just goes to show any sufficiently advanced AI is indistinguishable from Slashdot.
I reckon oolite will run on that.
When this was determined, the other option in the debate was the bloody French. So you got off lightly.
Or maybe superduplo.
In which they'll collide them in the hope of seeing the Higgs Mechano.
How naive to assume that the series ends there, in only three dimensions...

That's right. Making money is much more important than saving lives. Oh yes.

Ah, so "Mormon" is a synonym for "middle-class."
Mod this up, interesting discussion.

Yeah, F#, the saddest of all programming languages.
The interesting question is how many of the applicants for the C# roles have any clue about OO.
Ah, that's because you get better throughput from striped employees.
