No, real slackware users use punch cards for input and have a single red blinking LED for output. Although I used to know this guy that shaved, thought he was better than the rest of us... he had a green LED. Fucking pretentious asshole he was.
This was before the internet as we know it. In 1990, in the US, we were told what to think by NBC/CBS/ABC. If you disagreed with anything you saw on those 3 networks (which all pretty much agreed with each other) you were considered mental ill.
So far all of these have been caused by the car striking a piece of metal that pierces the battery and viola... fire. Makes sense to me. I don't really like the company and Elan Musk is an arrogant prick but I'm pretty sure that if the same thing happened to my gas car, and metal pierced the gas tank, the resulting fire would be a hell of a lot worse that what I've seen in the Tesla cars.
Uh... Transfats cause Heart disease. Not that I like government regulation, but all they are doing here is making a distinction that man made transfats are NOT food, they are an additive. Which is a fact.
If you don't like "walled gardens" why the hell are you using Chrome when that's clearly its sole purpose? I mean, come on, when it came out anyone with any sense knew exactly why Google wrote it, and that was due to all the activity in the firefox addon community.
Personally, I want cartridges back. Given current tech they'd actually be superior to discs in many ways and it would be significantly harder to pirate the games. Wait, i dont want cartridges, never mind.
Well the reason there is a pressure wave in front of the asteroid at all is due to friction. If it were frictionless it would simply pass through the atmosphere without disturbing it. This is more semantics with the english language than making any scientific point.
Think Rural. Get out in the sticks where your max internet speed is still 56k (and that's most of the country) and DVDs suddenly become useful again. I have a feeling that people in the Dakotas, Oregon, Washington state, etc... are going to be irritated the most by this.
unless you've got your nose to the monitor and have a 30" screen
This is just like the audiophile garbage. We hit "Max Quality" in audio some time in the 80s after CDs came out. And yes, if you have crap speakers you can still get poor quality but the fact of the matter is any stereo at walmart that costs more than $200 would produce sound indistinguishable from a $10k "audiophile" amp you got from a boutique shop in a blind test.
4k will be useful for theaters simply because their screens are so large. But any further enhancements in resolution are just a marketing ploy to get fools to part with their money.
Ok, I've got to stop you there. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy basically had nothing to do with the books, there's no way it could. But it WAS funny... I was crying with laughter in different parts of that movie. Was it an accurate rendition of the book? No... but even my wife, who'd never read the books and hates that sort of thing thought it was hilarious.
I've read Enders Game, and it was an "ok" sci-fi book. It's more about Drama and human relationships than sci-fi really. Think "deep space 9"... basically a soap opera with space ships. The ending is very predictable, I saw it coming by about the 3rd chapter. Even his name is a dead giveaway to his inevitable fate. But the books that came later... are horrible. I mean some of the worst stuff I've ever read. It turns into this magical fantasy land where trees and computers have telepathy and God knows what else.
I've yet to see what I'd consider a "Great" scifi novel turned into a movie. I'm not even sure if it's possible. Though I thought the same of the Lord of the Rings and they seem to have pulled that off with some success. Granted my threshold for a good movie is much lower than my threshold for a good book as a movie only wastes a couple hours of my time.
Until recently they thought Quorum Sensing was simple gene communication between individuals in a bacterial colony to co-ordinate behavior. Recently however they've found evidence that the bacteria can modify the genes in cells of the host and communicate even after the current infection may be cured. Not only that but they think these changes may even be passed from parent to child. They quite literally make the entire animal gene resistant, and it's offspring are gene resistant as well. I'm not sure if there is definitive proof of this yet but I've read a lot of articles by some very concern researchers lately. I'm not a biologist so take all of this with a grain of salt. I very well could have misread things, so I suggest doing your own research.
Actually, they've found that Bacteria and other organisms in your body do communicate through geene expression. So yes, Bacteria can change an animal in such a way that the animals own body informs future bacteria how to deal with antibacterial drugs.
Secondly, the devastating bacteriological pandemic is already here. Hospitals around the world are now opperating under the assumption that they now have permanent, incurable Gram Negative bacterial infections throughout their hospitals. Most hospitals wont even release data on the subject. They're finding drug resistant bacteria in the drinking water wells in India. This Genie is already out of the bottle.
If you don't click on an add, they pay less (or not at all.) Try that with Radio, TV or billboards. You actually pay more and then have no idea if it's working.
They are willing to pay more for the advert if they know how many people see it. That's what the internet does for them, it makes marketing more efficient and measurable.
Who the hell spends $400+ on a video card anymore? How many games will come out in the next year that will get any benefit from any card over $200? 2? maybe 3? And don't forget, a year from now the $200 mid range cards will out perform this card anyway.

Leverage over a SciFi author? Were they afraid he'd give them the secret launch codes to his imaginary alien super weapons?
everyone's a loser in a two party system

oh... well those just kill you so I guess you're right.
Maybe because Jelly fish tastes like slimy Jello that paralyzes your tong?
I wonder if this will force Android/Linux to make their software free for non-profits as well... oh wait.

You know, the entire planet of Saturn would float if there were an ocean big enough to put it in ;-)
But yea, he's wrong anyway.

But the human eye can't tell the difference.

There was nothing shocking about that ending. If you didn't see it coming from almost the very beginning you're pretty easily entertained.

I live about 2 miles from you. Yet I've never seen you at Bennets for breakfast! What gives? Where's your sense of community?!?!?
It's called Quorum Sensing.

It already exists. It called TOR (which uses firefox btw)
