Is that from his lecture on "cult cargo" science, in which natives see people waving sticks by a flat strip of field, and planes land. So to get in on that action they clear a strip of land and wave sticks the same way and nothing happens? Brilliant stuff, that Feynman guy, he also knew how to have fun!
Also, these days we mostly procreate by information and power. When you think you're procreating you're really mostly just making vessels filled by others, how's that for a cheerful thought? Sure, your kids might have your genes, but they mostly do what a handful (in comparison to all the people who are "just parents") of inventors and leaders/owners came up with. They don't run around with cell phones because it was your idea, do they, or fight random shitty wars for with random shitty justifications because you recommended it. The concepts they use to interact with the world they won't get from you for the most part either, nor the movies or the songs or the hygiene products they will associate with their childhood just as much as they will associate it with you. I don't say this to be mean, at least not only; I really have to say "PFFFFFF!!" to the whole gene thing, that's like 10000 years past - a number I completely pulled out of my ass.
I think you are profoundly underestimating the influence a parent who is nurturing and has a positive relationship with their kid, has on that child's personality. That child may be influenced greatly through non-parental channels, but they will most likely hold similair beliefs and values, which may match societal norms as well, but be closer to their family.
My point is that, their parents values may overlap with societal values but their parent's influence is greater. I'm specifically talking about people who would rate their relationship as very close.
If what you say is true I would think everyone would be grey and generic.
How would google translate speak with an accent? As far as I'm aware the accent is unique from the actual language, it would need to learn by listening to phrases that have define accents/dialects. Otherwise it wouldn't have that information using translation algorithms alone. If this is incorrect, please explain.
Your idea of "reasonable" seems somewhat arbitrary. I would posit 0.03c as reasonable enough. Four hundred years or about 7 generations. Still alot closer than the 666 years it would take to get to Gliese 581.
No kidding? Both of your estimates are arbitrary... since you put what was "reasonable" to YOU.
Snark aside, I think we should encourage the transition from real to this kind of financial cyber-terrorism - not only does it not get anyone killed, but the targets have almost certainly deserved it many times over. Heck, harassing the banks could well end up helping the economy by hindering their ability to parasite off it.
Two evils duking it out is great for the rest of us, who get a break from both, and some free entertainment on top of it. Make some popcorn, pop a few beers, and watch the fireworks.
Since the last part of your is ubiquitous here, I'm starting to wonder if people really are eating popcorn while reading articles.
Diplomatic immunity is granted by a country to diplomats THEY AGREE to have in their country. It's not some magic power all foreign state employees get.
This is probably more appropriate as a response to the gp, but it also works as agreement with you: don't underestimate the strength of paper saturated with super-glue. I repaired the belt-clip of an Aiwa "walkman" by first super-gluing the parts together, then super-gluing paper across the joint (second attempt: first was just the parts, promptly re-broke). 20 years on, the repair was still solid.
I would think that is because paper is merely wood with lignin removed. Your adding the structure back with the glue.
And then in a few years they remove the classic from the name just like Coca Cola did in 2009 so they don't alienate younger customers who have no idea why it would be called classic in the first place.
Why should we care about it being able to fly at US airports if it needs to launch from the equator?
This is a very neat concept, and it has implications in regular jet travel as well as space travel. The ability to cool air and compress it that much in a regular jet engine could increase efficiency astronomically! The fact that this concept works could mean we see more economical jets before we see this in space travel.
Coca Cola may have not done this on purpose when they released New Coke, but Microsoft seems to have caught on to the fact that they (Coke) doubled their sales after reintroducing original Coca Cola. Major UI changes..
"Here is Metro, no start menu. Oh wait here's it back. We told you we listen to our customers!"
This is the OEM business model. Razor-thin manufacturing hardware margins mean that there's a HUGE department that does nothing but inbound deals for software product placement - this is how they get profitability. Don't expect much change. Even with a premium PC line, they won't turn down these dollars thrust upon them from Symantec, and the online-game-of-the-week. Be sure, all of this is instrumented with web-bugs and behavior-tracking galore.
Using a Windows machine will always be like this: Trapped face-up, under the urinal in Steve Ballmer's personal piss-dungeon.
And if a MAC user you pay more for admission, have to swallow, and even rave about the privilege to taste such finely dribbled urine.
When you own legitimate intaglio presses and plates, it isn't counterfeiting. No matter how much linenthatfeelskindalikepaper they press it will never be counterfeit, always legitimate. At least in the foreseeable future.
That is still only partly true. Yes, the first head of NASA was an SS leader (more by political expectations than sympathetic feelings) and basically created the foundations of rocketry.
You leave out the meat of the "facts," that without the U.S. understanding the asset they held, followed by decades of funding for research in ballistics and propulsion, the people who were 99% of Apollo (or even NASA plus DOD) were NOT German.

They were rioting over something completely unrelated to this EULA article.... you dolt.

Seems like it's time for another anti-sat test.... you know, for our safety.
It's worth it just to play Boogerman.
Because it could be a disinformation campaign, or a goodwill gesture where we tell nothing of value.
If you hear "brace for impact" shortly after takeoff, or suddenly during landing, your hosed anyway you look at. it.

Did... your special relationship with Russias former KGB help secure your son, or would any Russian have received that promt service?

I didn't go into the fine details because they are not relevant to the metaphor I was using. You just seem to have an agenda anonymous coward.

And in the thirties I would have expected that car accidents would scale equally with the numbers of cars. However, I would be wrong.
Your last statement is "I have absolutely no experience with this publicly available software but here is my prediction." Meaningless.
