The problem is not that people think BitTorrent solves all problems. The problem is that people did not know it was the registration servers that caused the bottleneck.
The operating system file causing the delays is actually a reasonable inference from what is provided because it is so big.
A single number is able to describe everything. In the future, you can either get wealthier or get poorer. It only sounds bad because it sounds as if you're basing your net worth on a mere number, but that mere number is a result of decades of research. It is not a mere number as the 35.123 I just pulled from my butt, but it has logical backing and that makes it much more than just a "single number".
Close your eyes and block out all the extraneous info. At the end of the day, at the very core of everything, your net worth either goes up or goes down. And the algorithms for calculating the probability of it going up or going down in this hectic world are as good as we can get. The returned probability is a mere "single number" but it has logic and reasoning behind it.
The reason why these banks are failing is because these algorithms are not good enough. They do not take into account enough variables, and they probably never will because this would require taking into account the neurons going through the brains of a lot of people, such as world leaders.
However, the problem here is not that the number is merely a "single number". You're placing the blame on the wrong thing. It is the algorithms that are not accurate enough. In a perfect world with as much computational power as needed and quantum mechanics to be proven false, the future CAN be reduced to a "single number" and that single number will be successful in getting people rich. However, when that happens, everyone would be using the "single number" and no one will get rich.
You should not believe something is faulty on the _mere observation_ that it is a "single number". A "single number" is just the tip of the iceberg. There is plenty of logic in the method of calculating that number.
Yes, but within all the graphics editing programs that can save in jpeg and bmp, the one with the simplest interface wins. A graphics editing program that can save in only jpeg may have a simpler interface, but it does not even compete because it was _disqualified_ for not being able to "save in jpeg and bmp" as the rules of the competition state.
The article is comparing toy cars with real cars. Lively the toy car is nearly useless while WoW the real car is not useless. However, the article skips over this point and says that people would rather have the real car than the toy car because the real car is red while the toy car is blue. Therefore, red is better than blue. QED
While the chess clock's appearance may be simple, the morse code is part of the "interface" so it should be seen as a complex interface. A simple interface should be one without a large learning curve.
Good (useful) interactions, simple interface=Apple's Ipod- to sleep it took a minute to figure out, but otherwise, it was good; www.google.com is pretty good too
Good interactions, complex interface=your chess clock
Bad (worthless) interactions, simple interface=Lively
The argument's flawed. Lively had a simple interface and it failed, so let's blame it on the simple interface!
Given _a_ program, there is a direct relationship between the simplicity of the interface and quality. In the set of all programs that allows for the same set of interactions, the program with the simplest interface wins.
The problem with Lively is that its set of interactions was not large enough. Its problem was not the interface that delivers these interactions. It's like saying the monitor isn't working when your program doesn't compile.
The ER in bravERy and I,TE,RITY in integrity have already been used in fidelty, brav, etc., so they have to skip those, so that they would have a one to one relationship between ABC, and FID. The rest is just the letters that haven't been used before.
Easy way to create a one to one relationship for the substitution cipher. Just remember the key.
When you look at a hole, what do you see? Whatever's behind it!
I assume they measure readability by putting the piece of paper on a white surface and see if it is still readable.
If it is still readable, then why in the world are they using holes? Instead of using holes, just don't put ink where the holes are. They found a way of minimize the ink needed to print a letter. I imagine it would be be like courier new or some font like that, without cleartype on.
Isn't dark energy a general name for whatever it is that causes our universe do things that aren't explained by our equations?
So I guess this confirms Dark Energy even more because it invalidates even more equations than before. So it isn't the old equations that are wrong; it is only because part of the equation does not include variable D.
For me, money isn't as important as doing something I like. It is sad that the degree I'm getting (engineering) costs more than it would take to become a welder and probably won't pay as well, but it's the cost I have to pay to do something I like.
You only get so many hours in your life and you might as well get the most bang out of those hours. And being a welder or plumber who does the same thing over and over again does not have as much of a bang as being an engineer.
Sure you can get those shiny goods and bigger houses with more money. But I'd choose knowledge over those any day.
Also, seeing how you haven't done much with that psy major, you probably didn't do too well in college. There are plenty of people who put their psy major to good use.
The dehumanizing actions that Hitler took is what people characterize as Hitler. When GP made his post, he was telling GGP that his idea is inhumane.
Sterilizing humans is not bad because Hitler had the idea. Instead, it is bad because it is similar to the ideas that made Hitler so hated.
When people say Hitler, they don't talk about the Hitler that eats and drink. They are talking about the evil archetype Hitler that represent everything evil.
In this case, GP's usage of Hitler was correct.
An incorrect usage would be your example, which incorrectly uses the Hitler name to refer to the person that he is.
In one day, I can drive from New York to Florida. In one day, I can fly from anywhere in the United States to anywhere else in the United States.
Back when the country was started, this was not possible, so states had more of an identity. But now, the identity is destroyed.
I lived in Maryland for most of my life, but I do not feel any special attachment to the state. I can live just as well in California or Wyoming.
States have some administrative power but now, they are just a historical artifact from the days long passed. Electoral college was made for those passed days.
Conservation of momentum - the effect of a car traveling at 100mph hitting a child is not the same as a child traveling at 100mph hitting a car.
The momentum might be different. But the momentum of child is absorbed by car, which would result in less force exerted on car. And the momentum of car would be absorbed by child, which would result in more force exerted on child. Everything balances out so it's the same.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but lasers destroy stuff by heating them up. It doesn't push very well. Light doesn't push.
Also, if laser is to heat the thing up until it melts, that would take a lot of energy. The probability of this thing hitting any of us is really slim. It's almost the same as getting hit by lightning.
It may have happened in the real world but why would Slashdot care? It's the Theft of Virtual Property that made most readers click on link. Probably shows that our priorities are messed up.
A free market isn't where everything is free. It is where music costs money but at a fairer cost. Downloading pirated music is not part of a free market.
The RIAA is needed to stop pirating of music. But what the consumer wants is cheaper music.
Make music cheaper (like around a nickel a song) and downloading pirated music would be frowned upon.
The bot assumes the human is reasonable. If the human ignores everything the bot has to say and says completely random things, the bot would try its best to follow the conversation and respond to everything. The only way to counter this is to give confidence in the bot.
I think the point of this was to not try to break the program but play along with it. The judges probably were allowed to only write things that they would normally write to humans.

He probably has another one but. Separation of Job and Home.
He knows that Anonymous Cowards aren't taken seriously so he at least knows a bit of culture.
Interesting observation.

That quote merely sounds good. It has personification; it has allusion; it has simile. But it is false.
The earth is nothing but rocks we can blow apart.
but the illegality of dealing drugs attracts bad people to it.
Not illegality. It's profitability. If drug dealers can have a legal job with same pay, they most likely would take it.
Well, that is if you're crazy about money.
For me, money isn't as important as doing something I like. It is sad that the degree I'm getting (engineering) costs more than it would take to become a welder and probably won't pay as well, but it's the cost I have to pay to do something I like.

Look through history. No murderers have had their ideas made famous. They have always been dismissed.

Velocity is relative, so the GP holds.
A 40 pound child is a little more...yielding than a 40 pound chunk of metal.
In other words, the child can bend and absorb some of the impact so the car won't dent, while metal doesn't. What a horrible analogy...
