He also discovered electron tunneling, though he gave it as evidence of how nonsensical quantum mechanics was. He was correct on the derivation, but wrong on the interpretation.
Written? More like scratched in crayon in the walls of a padded cell.
The architecture of X has always been a mess going back to the very beginning. Need proof? the client is on the server and the server is on the client. 'nuf said!
p.s. notice that you need no elevation for this. This was a common joke back in the pre-security days. You wrote a cool user space application that after a few minutes of inactivity would pop up an xlock clone. The user would then type his/her password and "unlock the screen".
The application would then create a word readable.pwd file in the user directory which then you could use to mess up the users space, like hiding all files with a message "because you haven't paid your tuition/our logs show you've downloaded too much porn/you've used your entire yearly usenet posting quota".
Or you could just design the best, most efficient quite engine. Turns out that the human brain can detect efficiency. So naturally efficient, streamlined shapes and sounds are always aesthetically pleasing.
They do not care that innocent people are sent to prison. They simply want convictions.
I got my hands on a few issues of the local police magazine and this was very clear. So long as someone ended up in jail they were happy. Even in the cases where the person was later exonerated using incontrovertible evidence (DNA match to another well known criminal) the rag would still defend the work and blame "pro-crime" lawyers for the reversal.
China can explode its population overnight by abolishing the One-Child policy
Wrong, the policy is essentially already gone. You can have more than one child if you want by paying a relatively affordable fee. Still, people choose to have one kid, like most of the rest of the semi- and fully developed world nowadays.
public acclaim is often uncorrelated to scientific accomplishment
I hate it when people use "uncorrelated" or "not correlated" to mean: the correlation coefficient isn't quite 1.0 but otherwise yeah, it's pretty high.
You got it. Airline travel is more efficient per mile traveled than all other forms of transportation practically available in North America. In Europe train is an alternative and people massively use trains over short haul flights i.e. less than 1,000km.
is making every effort to improve efficiency (airplanes are 30% more efficient than they were only a decade ago or so),
is difficult to replace since it is not like you can walk across the Atlantic
is more efficient per mile traveled than a Honda Civic
while ignoring an extremely inefficient means of transportation, i.e. trucks, which can readily be replaced by a much more efficient one i.e. railways?
Sorry folks, but all this attention to airline emissions has astroturf campaign written all over it.
You are exactly correct which is why immigration is a great boon for the USA. Or haven't you noticed how the entire country and empire was built upon it?
I think letting the buildings collapse on top of their residents is a much preferable alternative, instead of this mandated socialism.
In fact when this happened during the 1985 earthquake in Mexico people were elated that no retrofitting had taken place and citizens en masse celebrated the >30,000 dead people.
I mean who does this Eric Garcetti guy thinks he is?
Microsoft is famous for reusing less code that most other software shops. On top of that the present Windows systems are a derivative of Windows NT not Windows 95, so I think it would be a safe bet to say that presently Windows contains comparatively little code from Win95.
The Israelis who have no qualms supporting state sponsored assassinations in the name of national security told the Bush administration that torture doesn't work.
For Xsakes, this are your friends telling you not to do it, because it doesn't work. What did Bush do? he carried on regardless.
This has become a signature pattern for the right in the last 15 years. It wasn't always that way. In the 80s and 90s one could disagree yet respect the opinion of Republican leaders and administrations, even if one didn't always agree with them. Somewhere around the time of the Contract with American ideology became more important than facts and it has been all downhill for America. The 2 trillion dollar invasion of Iraq on false pretenses, the loss of critical support across the world with unwarranted acts of torture, the obstructionist practices of the Republican congress v. the Obama administration.
Give it another 10 years and the present GOP will achieve from within what Osama Bin Laden foolishly tried to do with a few planes. He should have financed the Tea Party instead, and by now he would be further ahead in his goal.
Well if you don't like it you can exercise your democratic right and vote against it... unless you live in one of the many states that do not allow felons to vote.

Nearly everyone of my colleagues bought one, fell in love it, realized its limitations and moved back to a phablet/laptop combo.
Nowadays I rarely see one in the wild. Not at coffee shops, not at planes, nor at work or university.
The exception seems to be elementary school when a lot of kids still use one. Even then many prefer an iPod because of portability factors.
X11 was written in the 1980s

In contrast in America, republican hopeful Governor Chris Christie refused to allow a new tunnel to be built linking New Jersey and New York.

I prefer ka-chunk which is the sound credit card imprinting machines used to do. As in
man, I don't know if I can afford that fancy car stereo
well, why don't you just ka-chunk it?
Never? really? never? and this person calls himself an SF writer?
Here are some of the things we can do to make faster speed travel more efficient:
1. Try to capture some of the potential energy stored in an airplane at 100,000 ft over the earth
2. Reduce the duration and speed of the portion of the flight that takes place at higher atmospheric densities
3. Try to capture some of the kinetic energy of flying suborbital at Mach 3 during deceleration.
Are those easy? not at all. But that is the kind of challenge that technology is very good at solving over a few hundred years.
Object orientation is a tool, unfortunately most programming languages treat it as if was a religion.
First, my statement was that brand new airplanes today are 30% more efficient than they were a decade ago.
But second, here is the data you want: traffic has grown 50% over the last 15 years, fuel usage has grown 3%.
There is nothing extraordinary about my claim unless you are particularly ill informed about fuel improvements in aviation.

Why are we obsessing over an industry that
Sorry folks, but all this attention to airline emissions has astroturf campaign written all over it.
Yeah, yeah, but did you make the team?
America did great under lax immigration rules for 200 years and only started doing not so well when it gave massive tax cuts to the 1%.
Yet you blame immigrants for your problems and not the tax cuts to the 1%.
You are not too bright are you?
You are exactly correct which is why immigration is a great boon for the USA. Or haven't you noticed how the entire country and empire was built upon it?
This is cool but why is he driving on the wrong side of the road? They should fix that first.

I wrote about Republicans choosing ideology over facts. Your comment about drones has nothing to do with my argument.
Windows 7 was the product release of the beta version otherwise known as Windows Vista.

I understand Samsung's Ultra Power Saver mode also gives you several days on 20% battery power.
