So what if nanotube turns out to be the most potent mutagen EVAR? What if it destroys the earth's ecosystem? What if having that much nanotube in one place aligns the strings in the 11th dimension, and creates a wormhole into that universe with the evil Spock? What if the impact of the nanotube on the ocean surface catalyzes the crystalization of a new form of water solid, stable at room (ocean) temperature, thus turning the earth into an ice-9 planet? huh? what about that?!?!?!?!
Emotions ARE facts. Irrefutable facts. It's non-emotional facts that can be disputed. So you're saying: Don't bother me with HARD facts that I can't wiggle around.
I ADORE the space elevator. Because of that fact, I'm going to support it, as long as it is convenient.
isn't almost all the latency in your network from software? why not build a hypertree from cheap 24-port switches? At $200 a pop, you could make a tree with 12 roots for $8000. spend more to get more cross-section bandwidth, less for less. it scales with your budget.
No, operator overloading does not imply a function call. In fact, overloading could be added to Java in such a way as to PROHIBIT function calls. Don't use C++ as your mental model of overloading. Consider instead, Fortran 2003.
But Gosling hates complex numbers. The view he expressed to me was, in effect, that they open the door to quaternions, and (me genoito) cayley numbers. It's a slippery slope, dontcha know. I think he'd rather not allow floating point at all, since it could lead to Dedekind cuts, or something.
Fox news routinely uses forged documents. For example, Sean Hannity has often trotted out a photoshopped picture of John Kerry and Jane Fonda sharing a speaker's platform. I don't think its even news any more when Fox uses forged documents.
Unfortunately, you are misinformed. Donald Rumsfeld actively promoted and repeatedly affirmed torture policies long after news of children being sodomized in Iraq first arrived at the Pentagon. And a number of prisoners have died in U.S. custody. I am personally aware of at least two people who were pistol-whipped and suffocated in the past 18 months, and I'm just an interested news reader located in the U.S. Were I privy to the names of the hundreds of off-the-books prisoners held by intelligence agents, or located in Iraq, I dare say that I would be aware of many, many more.
Fumbled 9/11? Are you kidding? They threw themselves that ball, caught it squarely, took it past the goal line three or four times, did a little shake-your-booty dance, phoned home to brag about it, and seized the opportunity to torture, rape and kill at least two other teams.
Time for some enterprising, patriot Americans to go fetch it before the bad guys (the terrorists who killed 50,000 people in Iraq to take their oil, and killed 3,000 people in New York to take their civil liberties) get it.
If you insist on acting like a doormat, you are doing a severe disservice to the public. You have every right to continue to use the same name indefinitely, and there is no rational reason for you to comply with their demands absent a court order. Did they extort compliance by means of terroristic threats? Then a prosecutor in NZ would probably very interested, otherwise, you are under no obligation to accede to their unjustifiable demands.
I guess movies still make money by using a big theatrical release to pump dvd sales, but for Miyazaki, hasn't his entire target audience already seen Innocence before it was released? Maybe the 10% who can't afford a decent home theatre will crave the big screen enough to make it work as a commercial release, once you add the 4 or 5% that can't make a mental disctinction between copying information and taking candy from a baby.
I think you can carry legally in every state, by virtue of the "full faith and credit" clause of the Constitution. Not that it would necessarily matter what the law was, in a court. Obviously, I'm not a lawyer, or I would have blown my own head off long ago.
You unzip your fly in anticipation of a nanotube? I know size isn't supposed to matter, but.... exactly what are you going to put in that nanotube? A nanotubesnake?
You're absolutely right about A9. What is much better than Google, however, is Vivisimo. The search results are topically organized via clustering, making them easier to navigate by orders of magnitude.

I must confess my ignorance: Does perl have a .net interface yet?
I'd love to do all my coding in C#, if only it ran on a JVM.

I think the Libertarian solution is to abort all of
the children who you don't want to educate.
How much value does the government get for each
dollar spent on education? 0.01? 0.02?
Actually, the squadron pilots I heard interviewed said nobody could remember that Georgie *ever* showed up in Alabama.

If CBS used forged documents to support a lie, in
order to create a war that killed 50,000 people, it
would be criminal.
If they use forged documents to substantiate a
factually true claim, it's bad scholarship.

Your loss, if you make the transition, is mostly
the loss of flexibility in customizing firewall rules and adding edge services.
Your gain is a reduction in maintenance, size,
energy consumption, noise production, and portability.

Yes, yes, and yes.

Hey space ghost, you forgot to include a big, honking, link to Vivisimo! Do you think anyone could *spell* "Vivisimo" in this hemisphere? Sheesh!

Limitless renewability of hydrocarbon stores would
just mean that the planet ends up with a climate
like Venus that much sooner.
