Censorship involves denying people access to information. This is more like a magazine choosing not to publish a story—Fedora users can still acquire the tool themselves, after all!
"In his autobiography, What Mad Pursuit, Crick wrote about his choice of the word dogma and some of the problems it caused him:
"I called this idea the central dogma, for two reasons, I suspect. I had already used the obvious word hypothesis in the sequence hypothesis, and in addition I wanted to suggest that this new assumption was more central and more powerful.... As it turned out, the use of the word dogma caused almost more trouble than it was worth.... Many years later Jacques Monod pointed out to me that I did not appear to understand the correct use of the word dogma, which is a belief that cannot be doubted. I did apprehend this in a vague sort of way but since I thought that all religious beliefs were without foundation, I used the word the way I myself thought about it, not as most of the world does, and simply applied it to a grand hypothesis that, however plausible, had little direct experimental support."
It's worth noting that this kind of thing happens a lot in biology, where a name gets appropriated without the borrower fully understanding its meaning—or in some cases, the correct pronunciation. Classicists are frequently driven mad when they discover the plural of "locus" is pronounced "low-sigh".
ALICE: "Accelerating Lead Ions Constitutes Experiment". As someone with a low UID who must therefore be a FORTRAN veteran, shouldn't you know acronyms instinctively?
The window in which you can make stupid comments about playing god and recursing (no tired xkcd links allowed, about either pebbles or carving dice) is now closing. Please get in your cheesy gloom-and-doom scenarios ASAP, and make wild, uneducated suppositions about micro black holes while you're at it.
To make your life easier, Windows NT 3.51 is properly regarded as a fork of OS/2 with a more perfectly Windows 3-like GUI on it. I would presume that NT 4 is probably where those #ifdef mutations started.
Article was more than confused. On page 1 we've got "Windows 1.0", which is extremely rare, had a bunch of fatal bugs, and was quickly supplanted with 1.01. On page 2, we've got "Windows 2 was, I believe, still in DOS, [...] Windows 3 was the first GUI one that I remember seeing." which is catastrophically nonsense, and then the same 'expert' says "I preferred OS/2 back then. I thought it was a much better operating system. I think it was better technically."
They just grabbed some random programmers off the street instead of going to actual experts:\ We also have people talking about Windows XP as if it were descended from Windows 1.0 and not OS/2. So crappy...
Wait! I'm undoing all my mod points because I just realised that no, you're quite wrong. The printing process wouldn't be the same for the older books, and some of them have survived hundreds of years before we came along and scanned them.
However, the story about books being cut up for scanning was about microfilm. I think it was an institution in Texas whose library was cutting them up mentioned as an aside in a submission about how they were converting their library into a lounge and computer lab.
Two WW chromosomes. In mammals, we have X and Y chromosomes to determine sex—but in reptiles, fish, and of course birds, the norm for a female is ZW, and the norm for a male is ZZ. This brought to you by Tilde R: Helping Those Who Hate RTFA.
I would tend to say that the karma you ended up with (100% informative, no insightful!) suggests that it wasn't read that way. Hopefully you can forgive me for making the same mistake that three moderators did, and will consider changing what you consider to be clear communication.
No sir. It's a legitimate mechanical typewriter, not a teletype. The disappointment you are looking for is in that it's Arduino-controlled, instead of having been mechanically engineered to actually play the game. This is confusing because Slashdot summaries usually mention the Arduino if they have the chance. But I guess the drive to be blatantly wrong in TFS is more powerful than the drive to plug nerdy products.
Said Schroedinger," isn't this fun
Shot a cat in a box with a gun
I'll be sure it survives
'Cause the cat has nine lives
And I'll only be using just one."
Schroedinger should not have done that
It was cruel "playing God" with a cat
Which, by the way, mister
Belonged to your sister
The next time please make it a rat.
Said Schroedinger poison is nifty
To dispose of this cat, God is shifty
We can't tell if it died
Till we all peer inside
And the odds are at just that, 50/50.
The cat in the box still has growth
Or it's dead, and infested with sloth
One should not get unnerved
Till the cat is observed
It's a superposition of both.
So that is the way that you tell it
Leave a cat in a box with a pellet
Should the trigger let go
The poison will flow
And you'll know the cat's dead when you smell it.
Said Schroedinger, "let Physics advance
Though it might be kitty's last dance
When we open the box
Be prepared for some shocks
But there's only a 50% chance."
Said Schroedinger, "let's take a chance
Though it might be kitty's last dance."
"The poor cat," he then joked
"is alive, or it's croaked"
But you can't know these things in advance.
It doesn't matter, no. Wikipedia says hydrogen makes up 75% of normal matter by mass and 90% by number of atoms in the observable universe. Silicon is just one of dozens of possible byproducts of, say, a supernova—its presence is tiny compared to even carbon and helium. No idea what GGP was smoking.
Does anyone know how design patent suits work? Because this thing looks incredibly like an iPad. Check out the photos underneath the video—that black thing is similar a patch seen on the back of iPod touches where the camera would be. The back is curved in the same way, the bezel is similar... and I think the corner radius is about the same, too.
You don't: you own the whole chain. There are plenty of companies that are now wholly Chinese—consider, for example, that the NASA crew on the ISS uses Lenovo T61p Thinkpad laptops for all of their personal computing needs. There's no QA going on there that Lenovo can't control or manipulate if the Chinese government covertly asks them to. The chips involved in making the system never get shipped across the ocean prior to final assembly.
Furthermore, who says you can't slip the modified chip in at the last stage? A backdoor that's only shipped to your target is less likely to be found than one you ship to every customer in the US.

Productivity? PTSD is productive?
You have just won the entire Internet.
actually, splicing is fairly easy with trees- or did you mean horticultural splicing?

Discovery: the acronym is even lamer than my made-up one. "A Large Ion Collider Experiment". Ouch.

They were actually XYY prisoners, and that was an unfair stereotype that has since been proven to be false. A YY karyotype isn't viable.

LaForge does have ocular nerve implants. The visor is a replacement for his eyes. (Further, he grew out of it in the later movies.)

Sorry, gringo: design patent != patent. They're more like trademarks on physical shape meant to stop counterfeiting.
But not to delete it!

No!
