If perfectly circular, average distance from any planet to any planet should be equal to the center of their path circle, which is, drum roll please, the center of the sun.
So, Earth-Mercury average distance shares the first place with any other of 45 planet pair combinations.
It looks like you are not aware of the fact that bitcoin to dollar transactions are not actually recorded in the bitcoin blocks at all. Those are internal bitcoin exchanges' transactions.
You have misunderstood what Moore's law is about. It is simply about the number of transistors doubling in integrated circuits every year (later revised to every two years). It is not about single threaded performance in CPUs."
Oh boy, here we go again, another Moore's law explainer.
So, try to understand that the Moore's law got well known because of all the speed that your precious count brought.
Nobody cares about the transistor counts, people upgraded because in about a year, your computer got twice as fast. This effect was known as a "Moore's law".
How long are you going to be sticking to the technicality of the transistor count? Are you aware that meanings of words can change over time?
Do you call your electronic computer only "a computer". Do you have a person sitting below your desk? Because a computer was a person that did calculations. That's why old farts sometime insisted on calling them "electronic computers".
So, yes, Moore's law surely is about the single thread performance.
"Firstly the "absurd" regulation angle is overrated : a lot of what people call absurd regulation were actually industry internal proposed regulation to offer standardization."
Standardization is a weird word to use when you wanted to say "barriers to entry."
This is an example of Slashdot link text that disappoints. I was expecting some reason or principle why cold fusion will be impossible. You gave us nothing. NOTHING!
That's a strange distinction you are making there. I think your teacher was more focused on memorization of stupid definitions, and less on understanding.
You never know the path of the photon. In fact, it looks like it went trough all the possible paths, including all the splittings and merging. You can not even tell if it went in a straight line or not.
"It's more like time doesn't exist as a valid concept for a photon; it just doesn't make sense to talk about a timeline for a photon's frame of reference in the same way that it doesn't make sense to ask what the color red smells like."
Why do you use this stupid metaphor that does not add anything at all?
"When light travels through a medium containing matter it will be absorbed and "stored", for some time, in the exited states of the atoms before it is emitted again."
Then the question becomes, how does the light know how to continue in the same direction it was going previously?

Have you ever been in an actual movie theater? You have to pay no matter if you like it or don't like it.

Er, no.
Efficiency of the hashing hardware does not decrease the electricity used. It only increases the total number of miners that can mine profitably.
Solving a decentralized problem with a centralized solution makes you look stupid.

So not only they take your money, they logic rape you as well.
"In fact, the endless copycats act as a barrier to entry"
Stupid things you read in slashdot comments.
There are no errors on my Chrome, desktop variant.
"We spent as much on LHC as we spend on 1/5 of a submarine. In other words, the LHC costs about 2.5 attack submarines;"
...as long as we define 2.5 as being the same as 1/5.
"5. Increases in the amount of music composed and produced primarily as motion-picture promotional tie-ins;"
Oh, my good, now that you mentioned it, I notice how this analysis is completely worthless.
If all universe was smaller than, well, very small, how come it didn't form a black hole in the first seconds?
And then if nothing exits the black hole, how did universe manage to do it?
Considering the benefits, bring on the laws that mandate that each stop light wifi/bluetooth/whatever broadcasts its state .
"Here's why, most likely, they always will."

However, a thing that is not white *is* necessarily non-white.
Can you model of light explain why it bends 10 degrees (or whatever) at the surface?
Or, how does the atom know to re-emit light in the same direction it was traveling before?
They buy TWO Intels.
OMG, 64 GB of RAM for only $700. That is simply amazing, how cheap it is.
Single thread performance from core 2 duo from 2008, to the 4770 i7 from this year improved just 90%, so, not even a doubling in speed.

"Physics classes push the difference between "speed" and "velocity" pretty heavily"
You mean, bad physics classes...
