So you admit your response to my post was incorrect and completely pointless?
If you want the code to be free, then release it freely. Code under the GPL is NOT free. It is encumbered.
If I release code under the GPL, anyone can use it for whatever software they want to write.
Code under the GPL is not free. There are restrictions involved, and you have admitted this. If you release code under the GPL, people are NOT free to use it for whatever software they want to write. They are free to use it for software they want to write and release under certain restrictions. If someone wants to use GPL code directly in closed-source software, they cannot. There's a legal maze to navigate with any version of the GPL. It's a showstopper for many, despite your personal feelings on the matter.
If you want your code to be used freely, then let it be used freely. Not some sort of politically-motivated, feel-good, anti-corporation, abusive definition of "freely".
What are you taking about? UTF-8 is over 20 years old. HTML is even older. It's one thing not to use the newest emoji but to say you won't use encodings that haven't changed in 20+ years because they might change in the future isn't a great reason.
Yet here we are, in the perfect of example of one encoding not working / not being supported. ASCII for life.
I could cut and paste on my Samsung Blackjack running Windows Mobile 5 (5.5 I believe is what it had when I got it) and Windows Mobile 6 later.
I could browse the real internet, get real email, and even download and manage files. Over bluetooth, I connected to a GPS receiver and got live turn-by-turn navigation from a third-party application. I could get games (I only got a few), I could watch all sorts of video formats, I had a real fucking keyboard, I had customizable shortcut keys, it was easy to hack and run whatever I wanted, I could tether it to my PC and use its data connection, etc, etc.
Hell, how long was it before the iPhone supported MMS?
I'm sorry you bought a shitty phone, I guess. And in what way did WinMo try to "duplicate the look and feel of the Windows desktop environment"? I had a home screen with a few icons, then some nested menus to go through to get to everything else.

Can they sell it? Can they bundle it? Can they do so without providing the source to modifications they've made? Can they... ?
The GPL is restrictive. You may like the ways it's restrictive, but not everyone does. And just what are we talking about? v1? v2? v3? Some modification of any of the above?
Anonymous PhD physicist here, and this is one of the better descriptions of this phenomenon I've read. It's important to note that nothing is being transported other than information - the first photon is not the second photon, but they are identical and in a quantum sense track the state of the other. In comparison to a Star Trek transporter, this would be like completely scanning an object, and transmitting that information to a second location where a perfect 3D printer duplicates the object. If this object happened to be a human (presuming we have 3D technology capable of that one day), you'd either have to destroy the first one to complete the teleportation (like in the Prestige - good movie if you've never seen it) or end up with two objects (I'll leave the bit about the "soul" out for those of you religiously minded). The key quirk of quantum entanglement is that the information seems to be transmitted instantaneously (my personal belief is that while entanglement violates the speed of light, it's speed is not infinite). I'll also add that thus far this effect is limited to photons, which themselves are pretty spooky particles in a quantum mechanical sense, doing all kinds of things that ordinary particles can't do. When the grand unified theory comes along, I suspect the wave/particle duality of light will collapse, resulting in something like "all matter is a manifestation of a superposition of standing wave fields", and we'll be back at Maxwell, but with a third, as yet unidentified, field structure.
Quantum entanglement does NOT result in information transfer. Not even if you call it "quantum teleportation". Information transfer happens as it does, at classical, non-causality-fucking speeds.
Claiming that "quantum teleportation" results in instantaneous or faster-than-light information transfer is wrong. It's like saying flipping a coin and seeing that it landed heads up results in instantaneous or faster-than-light information transfer regarding the bottom side of the coin. Even if the coin were a lightyear thick this wouldn't be the case. The information of what the coin was was transferred to you at classical speeds before hand. Or consider 2 Schrodinger's cats in 2 boxes, one of which will be killed and one of which will just be pissed off at you for locking it in a box. Separate the boxes at classical speed, then open one box to find out what you've got. You instantly know the state of the other box, but no information was transferred in that moment. The complexity of the object being observed and the amount of time between the setup and the reveal reduce your confidence in the result (because maybe both cats die, or you fucked up your entanglement, or The Noid ruined your pizza, or whatever else).
Nice try, but if that were true c would be infinite, gravitational lensing wouldn't be a thing, etc.
Time dilation of a traveler fartin' around the universe at (or near) c affects the traveler. That's the crux of "time is relative, the speed of light is constant". We're used to thinking of time as a fixed march of the universe and speed/velocity being relative, when in fact the opposite is true.
Because this is NOT teleportation. EVERY FUCKING TIME THEY DO THIS SAME SHIT AND CALL IT TELEPORTATION. It's fucking NOT teleportation! And we're fucking sick of seeing the pop-sci HORSESHIT!
I had a Windows Mobile 5 (later updated to 6) phone. It was actually pretty great. And I was doing things miles beyond what the iPhone did years later.
The only thing it didn't have was built-in GPS, so I bought a GPS receiver ($99 at the time) and an add-on for mapping and navigation (at $5 a month, I think).
Try again. They key points are in the third and fourth sentences, but the first is also quite apt.
Uh, you're an idiot. We're not talking about CNN not letting this guy onto the air. We're talking about CNN potentially harassing or blackmailing this person into silence. The government should absolutely intervene and slap the shit out of CNN if this is the case.
The moment most people complain about is the tether situation, but so far no one has shown me a force diagram of the whole scene showing that it makes no sense. They just make assumptions then bitch and moan. There's also the fire, but that's relatively minor.
Why anyone should trust any cert not issued by a cert authority they personally control or vet and trust is beyond me. The whole CA game is about a half step more legitimate than the TSA.
Uh, we observed the CMBR. We haven't observed any of the fuckery required to support the big bang theory such as time not existing or time looping, causality not existing, everything not existing, everything suddenly existing from nothing, singularities, etc. All the math falls apart when you wind back to T 0. Winding the clock back very close to T 0 and thinking how shit would look like is valid theory, but it's not testable and is not scientific.
It's probably a decent way to measure the enthusiast market though.
No, precisely because of:
I would assume an over representation of AMD though, as it's a new thing, so people may have a certain level of excitement to benchmark it.
I have no doubt that AMD has gained market share (they basically had nowhere to go but up and released a great line of CPUs). But there's no reliable way to quantify it without paying big $$$ to analyst firms for sales data.
Meaningless. Spacetime expanded from it. Time is from it. The only source or cause of the big bang is that which is beyond space and time. By definition.
That's absolutely retarded. If you want to throw out time entirely you're throwing out causality. At that point, you're just saying "fuck it" and allowing anything to happen up until the big bang, then you have a specific set of weird rules for the first moments of the big bang, then you have the actual rules that we know and can test.
The big bang theory is pretty much baseless conjecture derived from winding back the clock and masturbating over a lot of made up math that can't be tested in the actual universe. We still can't even identify why we appear to be expanding in an accelerating fashion, and you want to pretend that we can turn back the clock with ANY semblance of accuracy, let alone enough accuracy and confidence to say "fuck it, causality and time don't matter"?
Telepathy and pretelepathy already exist. Ask anyone with a dog or a wife or an angry black mother figure. They know what you're thinking before you do.

Except people TRY to use the encoding, often unknowingly, and we end up with cryptic barf, dropped characters, etc.
It's cryptic TODAY in many cases.

Properties of a photon also include its location in space. There are plenty of photos with identical properties save for their location in space.

You are not wrong. But then have to deal with a mechanism for creating infinite universes. Which is not science. It can at best be called fan-fic.
Not science?
Do you have a null hypothesis? Is it testable? Do you have data from your tests? Can others repeat your tests?
If you answered "no" to any of the above, it's not science.
Meaningless. Spacetime expanded from it. Time is from it. The only source or cause of the big bang is that which is beyond space and time.
