The two statements do not contradict, if you're on an airplane then you're moving faster than if you were on the ground.
If you're in a tall building, then you're moving faster than if you were on the ground, because you're further from the center of the Earth.
In both listed scenarios you're moving faster than if you were on the ground, and hence both will result in your clocks going faster if you're on the ground.
I don't see what this has to do with gravity however. I thought the difference in time was based solely on your reletive speeds.
If someone or something has the knowledge and ability to create our entire universe inside of a computer simulation, wouldn't it be just as easy for them to just create the universe as it is (not in a simulation) and save themselves a step?
Might not be a bad idea for those who are arrested and convicted of using cocaine. Guarantee they'll never use it again if they don't get a high from it.
Absolutely idiotic to give something like this as a vacinne to everyone. Treating everyone as if they're potentially going to use drugs is insulting. Imagine when they're giving your newborn baby their vaccines, "...and this one is to keep your kid from becoming a coke addict". I'd be pissed.
How I wish this were true. I can count the number of posts supporting the Republican side of politics, or support for Windows, on one hand. Slashdot is just as biased as the TV news, it is just more informative, covers issues that aren't completely worthless, and seems to be teeming with a little more intelligence.
The insurance companies, like every other corporate company on Earth only care about one thing, money. They know, on average, what type of people wreck more often, and they know that they will earn more money by charging them a higher premium.
It is like a bail bond, the higher risk gets the higher bond, even before it has been proven they're guilty of what they're being accused of. Presumed guilty until proven innocent, and in the case of driving, proven innocent for a guy doesn't happen until you've gone without a traffic ticket for 7 years and you're 25 or older.
Slashdot Mirror
Someone is finally going to give Skynet some wings.
Lets clean this up a bit:
// Thin the herd
bool isBusinessPartnerOrCustomer(user)
{
if (isBusinessPartner(user))
return true;
else if (isCustomer(user) && (user.getAccountSize() > 10000000) )
return true;
return false;
}
