If I recall, one of the principles around c is that two things may not move apart faster than c, either. So if you have an observer with a lantern on a train moving 60mph, the light moves away from the observer at c. But! It also moves away from the train platform at c, not c + 60mph
Now as I see it, what is being described is that the universe (spacetime) is the train in my scenario. How could you then account for the rate of expansion from the perspective of two individuals, one at each "end" of spacetime?
Nevertheless when you read some of her posts it does look like she has a serious maturity issue. Anyone who resorts to calling the opposing party "teabaggers" probably isnt going to be non-partisan, and probably isnt senate material.
I mean, not a huge fan of this kind of politics, but her maturity and partisanship certainly are relevant.
In contrast to those that buy law to get what they want
This is so ignorant its not even funny. Copyright has been recognized by the US since its founding (its in the constitution, article 2 I believe).
Right now caution is abandoned and we are allowing the IP holders to encroach Liberty too far.
Then reform the system, dont throw it away entirely. What is commonly encouraged here is ripping out a somewhat flawed system and replacing it with a kind of free-for-all that guarentees absolutely no rights for the content creators. Its ridiculous in the extreme.
We, The People have every right to tell IP holders to shove it up their ass, if we so desire.
Not when our founding "social contract" establishes the protection of IP, we dont. Once things are in law, generally that isnt an option-- laws arent there as a suggestion.
That this got modded insightful is a little depressing; are driving laws also a social bargain that you're free to ignore if you so desire? Which laws are the ones you can ignore?
Youre saying that if they let you access the site, they cant log that you did so, which isnt much different. Youre still trying to mandate what they do on THEIR servers.
It should always do what the _user_ wants, not what some adspamming company wants instead. It's common sense, "my hardware, my rules".
I couldnt agree more. Except, DNT is about what a server operator does with HIS hardware-- its about server-side tracking.
So by your very sensible logic, DNT should not be mandatory because its absolutely THEIR hardware, their rules. Dont like it? Go to a new website, or make your own.
It amazes me how you think you are entitled to tell a server, which you are requesting data from, that it is not to remember any details of your visit.
You have every right to remove cookies or even block them; you dont have a right to tell a server operator what to do with HIS logs. Go somewhere else if that is an issue, it is HIS resources you are requesting.
By making it the default, they basically guarentee that the setting will be ignored, at the very least if your useragent is IE10. At worst, it could result in the whole standard being obsoleted.
XLSX is hardly a "hidden, shifting" format. Open them with any unzip application, and then open the resulting files in notepad. It really is just XML.
Not a formats guy so I dont know how well documented it is, but to act like its no different today than the old 2003 binary formats is just ignorant. And Im pretty sure its ASCII, not EBCDIC....
There is no way enough wastewater could be added to induce tectonic plate movement where none naturally existed.
Not sure if you are aware of the amount of energy released in an earthquake, but its pretty phenomenal. Think on the order of a fairly large nuclear blast for a modest earthquake.
The specs on paper may be better but how is the unit's build quality and usability of the OS?
You might have had a point with the touchpad-- I dont know, as I do not own a zenbook-- but the comment about the OS is ridiculous. Is it at all possible that I and many other IT folks are not, in fact ignorant; that we have, in fact, tried OSX and genuinely prefer Windows 7 to it?
Comments about OSX somehow being a premium OS are just ridiculous, and in my experience tend to be made by people who refuse to acknowledge that Windows ever progressed past XP SP3 or Vista SP0.
I used the Zenbook as my example because every review of it Ive seen has been glowing. AFAIK its regarded as the current king of ultrabooks. Its also quite a bit cheaper than a lot of the competition.
I still havent heard a good explaination for why all 3 things are not, essentially, "something you know". Until we switch back to analog, all of them are going to be encoded at some level as digital data and sent as part of authentication, right?
Or am I missing something?

Security is only one of the factors. Speed is one of the big reasons AES was chosen IIRC.
Not really, with an Asus Zenbook Prime you can get a faster processor (i7 vs i5) and a better / higher resolution screen (1080p/IPS-- which Im told is supposed to be a Big Deal) for $50 cheaper. If thats "the same price", well, Im still gonna choose the Zenbook.
Do the baseline of each (i5 / 128GB), and the Zenbook is a full $150 cheaper.
Seems to me they should keep doing raids until people get the message. We have some of that nonsense here in the US, and it would be nice to make the message real clear that bikes are vehicles too.
Wearing a HELMET is a hassle? Great, so now we have someone who couldnt be bothered to clip on a helmet, and we expect that theyre going to obey the rules of the road, including signalling?
Maybe, like driving, you want there to be SOME things you have to do to demonstrate at least a bare minimum responsibility. Advocating for helmet-less biking is a remarkably bad idea, and I hope you all are comfortable with the people who follow your advice and are struck by a vehicle. Perhaps you can explain to their family that their loss is a casualty in "pedestrianizing" society, and its all for the long term good.

Hold on there.

Probably a lot easier to find a good pug group now too.

Copyright is a SOCIAL BARGAIN
No, its a legal one, enshrined in US law.

If anything, people thinking that Windows 7 was some kind of major remake of the OS
Who actually thinks that?
It could have been deployed as a Vista Service Pack
With a brand new UI? That sounds like a disaster.
Spoken language is unique, but mathematical language is universal, for a start every alien capable of space flight will know what integers are.
That seems like a remarkably arrogant comment. What are you basing that assertion on? How many examples do you have to back up your hypothesis?

If you dont want to be tracked by a server, dont visit that server. Pretty simple, actually.
The internet isnt a democracy; each site is its own little dictatorship, and if you dont like the terms, you can pretty quickly leave that site.
By making it the default, they basically guarentee that the setting will be ignored, at the very least if your useragent is IE10. At worst, it could result in the whole standard being obsoleted.

Maybe the thing to learn is that non-seismologists really arent qualified to speculate wildly about what fracking is and isnt doing.

It was an analogy, not prolog.
