What do you mean by simple ? It's as complex to program as anything else, the development environment is as rich as any other and it has the backing of a sophisticated community. Or are you one of those people who think real comp sci is all about using excel and word.
Even if each file is "uncompressible", a good compression system should almost eat the dupes and won't break anything that relies on the dupe actually being where it is in the file system plus it is a more "standard" solution and if your processor outpaces your disk it may even make things run faster.
But by what measure are they worth $300Bn ? The art has moved on, there are better ways to use the spectrum, $300Bn would put 1000 new satellites into Geostationary orbit.
Protons are supposedly not elementary particles, since they are made of quarks, hence, to my mind, dimensions make sense for protons since their constituent quarks presumably range around some nominal volume.
They want a co-processor, so build one, or add extensive FPGA capabilities. Don't just put in a GPU and disconnect the monitor, make something more specifically applicable to the task at hand.
Really, in this day and age. why do we need separate device drivers for every device. Surely there are only a few ways in which data are transferred and parameters are updated for almost all possible devices. I can see the need for a device driver for really specialized and rarely found hardware, but almost everything else should have had standard interfaces defined for it by now, at least so far as the kernel is concerned.
I always imagine that these tools, and it seems there are more of them each day, will lead to complacency, the evidence seems so very compelling when it comes from such a fancy system. However, one day someone will game the system; maybe the villain just bolted his license plates onto the back of some unsuspecting stooge's car, or had a second set of plates, or even put out a dozen sets of duplicate plates, or put different plates on the front and the back of the car or do any number of things that simply makes the system unreliable.
Then the system will wind up providing an alibi for someone we would all have rather seen in gaol and its veracity will go unchallenged because it is so whiz-bang.
When designing the communication system, be sure to arrange it so that it can send back high framerate full motion HD video even when it is far beyond the range at which it can receive control commands (eg the kill switch).
Seems to me that the "bogey man" keeping liberals up at night was the image of a lonely guy obsessed with butch looking guns. The ban seems to me to have been more about demonizing a section of the public than about controlling weaponry, and to me that's just an unsavory as the right wing demonization of welfare recipients.
I am pro gun control, but the old ban does not seem to me to have been the right way to go about it.
I don't understand; from the tone of your comment you would seem to claim to be knowledgeable about guns, from which I infer that you perhaps have an interest in guns and perhaps are "pro-gun", but your signature message seems to indicate that you disapprove of this particular manufacturer. Would you have preferred he got the TV instead ?
One thing that always surprises me is that the chat clients don't have a "hand over control of my PC to the service representative" button. I would have thought that would be a basic thing for the service rep to want to be able to do and I know the tech is available to do it.
I thought transmission losses went up when it is hot, maybe the power companies could put solar in their power-line easements and somehow "top up" the voltage as it drops along the power line run.
I would have thought that world record times would fall if there was a standard time from "get set" to bang. It seemed like there might have been such a thing in the swimming, the time periods seemed so uniform. Presumably the Olympics could simply send out a CD recording of the message that will be played at the start of a race from speakers behind each athlete, that way false starts would be reduced, the reaction time issue would be replaced by a requirement to be able to judge the delay accurately. It may not be "the sport" but if it causes records to fall it would be welcomed by the event's promoters. I wonder if there is anything in the rules about it.
I'm pretty sure I was doing compound interest calculations as part of my math curriculum in 8th or 9th grade. (with a book of logarithms, not a calculator) I think the main purpose was to find an application for raising values to the nth power.

there will be an air conditioner outdoors next to the sun loungers, park the car under one.

" theories suggest the pixels should measure the size of the "Planck length," or about a billionth of a billionth of the diameter of an electron"
I thought electrons and all truly elementary particles had no size whatsoever, they were ideal points
So states will line up for their handouts and conduct enrichment programs in secret, denying that they do so. Where's the difference from today ?

Exactly, and when the truck is raised even higher with larger wheels and fitted with bull bars it's even less of your problem.
why does it need a dock connector at all ? I'd prefer a totally waterproof / dust-proof phone and it seems far more "Apple".

What we need is the human equivalent of license plate "protectors". I foresee a new fashion trend...

Actually the phrase is (c) Scripps Local News so please stop using it.

I really liked MSP430 state machine programming by Tom Baugh. I learned a lot about state machines, and they are basic to many applications.

that a new version of OSX has just become available to purchase, better rush out and buy it.
