"...and whether or not the hard drive can withstand the stress of the Windows 10 installation..."
If the drive has sufficient free space, and has available drivers, the worst it can do is trash all the data on the hard drive.
If you don't have those two requirements and for some unknown reason I've never heard of, it allows the install to go ahead anyway, the worst it's done is trash the data on the drive. (I've done both those situations, and windows will refuse to install. Sure, there may be a command switch to force it too, but that isn't the softwares fault you chose to shoot yourself in the foot.)
Software doesn't destroy hardware. (Ok, there actually have been some very rare and very specific instances in history where that could be done, barring the use of robotics or explosives and the like, but those were fixed very rapidly after being discovered. So it's effectively a non-issue)
If the hard drive failed, it's not the fault of the software, the hardware died. If it couldn't handle the stress of reading/writing a few gigs, it was already on deaths edge and in the process of committing computer suicide.
HD dead and replaced the computer. That's like running out of gas and buying a new car!
If the airlines have their way, you'll be crammed into suitcases and loaded like luggage while having to pay extra for oxygen and not being thrown by the handlers.
I remember an inventor doing this with a different 3d concrete printer in an article for Beyond 2000. I don't remember exactly when that aired, but it was before the year 2000, and it wasn't in russia.
It's just more information on a subject we've known about since before Snoden even did his thing. They've got a spooks tool making malware that would get any of us thrown in jail and use them to abuse everyone and don't like it when companies find out about them and patch the holes. Legality is EXTREMELY questionable. (ianal)
It's like the internet, if there's congestion, the traffic WILL find a way around it if at all possible. Essentially jams and slowdowns are damage and congestion to roads. Do you really expect the packets/cars to sit in limbo for who knows how long, causing more congestion and jams trapping more, getting bigger, trapping more, etc?
Not to mention the noise pollution. About have the motorcycles around here probably cause hearing damage within 10 meters. I wish the cops had decible-meters on hand, you can bet those are definitely over the legal limits.
I've lived someplace around here where the bus was only twice a day, 6:30am and 8pm, Total freaking waste. Two miles closer to town there's a lot more busses, and we have that new express route they made that has it's own lane, going out to an area that nobody goes to except the people that already live on that end of town because everything out there is much closer. The same bus routes that to go a simple 1.8 miles might take you all over for 1hr45m to arrive, and an extra 20m going the other direction. Yeah, our bus system is messed up. Seemed to have happened right after that honcho from portland took over.
Mass transit can be great, if it's ran right, but it's never a total solution, especially when you have an entire city that isn't tied to your transit schedule.
So instead people sit in a traffic jam, and make it worse, trapping more people, and still the people that are close enough to an exit will still end up taking it to drive through residential areas, and tend to do so for a longer distance both because the traffic is backed up further, and often they don't know just when it's cleared up and get on after that point... Seems to me the apps are reducing the problems for everyone while some bozo in the local government is annoyed that traffic is rerouting past his damaged system.
I've never heard of crystals forming when you warm a solid up to it's melting point. Rather liquids are kind of the opposite of a crystaline structure last time I checked. But they do form when freezing, and that's why they try to do the really rapid glassification as it is an attempt to stop all crystal formation, or at least limit their size to very small. Those crystals can and do puncture cell walls, which means that cell is a goner. Lose enough of those, or some really critical ones, and the creature is toast, end of game, don't even bother to thaw it out. Now we do have some creatures that can survive freezing conditions, but they've got some tricks that aren't applicable to humans without some serious genetic modifications we don't even know how to do. The short version is they tend to flood their blood and cells with a type of antifreeze so there are less or smaller ice crystals so more of their tissue survives. Still, they can be killed by freezing. When you get to the single cell or other very simple types, it's a lot easier for them to survive since their structures are simpler and their cells less specialized.
I do find the idea of using induction to warm the material interesting, but having that material appropriately spread out in a living creature before freezing seems to be a rather difficult proposition. That's assuming those nano particles don't themselves cause an issue. I don't see it being done after freezing anymore than I see someone distributing sugar into an ice cube without pulverizing it. That would rather defeat the point.
Actually all the reports are that it tastes like pork, which is also rather explains why the attempts to wean cannibals off of eating humans worked when they provided them with pigs to raise and eat.
It's the premium tax - Charge as much as you can get away with for your product if it's the top of the line with no real competition in it's bracket. Lot's of companies do it in lots of different markets, and it sucks for the consumer. Essentially they're giving up market share for greater short term profits, which is usually only feasible when you are the top dog with little to no effective competition for that particular product.
I guess this shows that they see the new Ryzen as being worth a c-note or two of competition.:)
That would be correct, but in the context of the sentence used, 'cue' is the correct homophone. Getting them mixed up for comedy and sarcasm is fine, but getting them mixed up otherwise just confuses the issue. Some people, myself included, don't pronounce the words I'm reading, so homophones don't get mistaken for each other, and thus a sentence becomes seriously and egregiously wrong! Where if it had been spoken instead of read, there would have been no problem.
Sure, you got a better AI than you started with, but it's still cheating, even if it is using the slowest character in the game. Now program it to emulate the time delays for using a controller and having to recognize what's happening on screen instead of the instant data i/o from direct machine & memory access. If you can reliably beat humans at that level, then you've actually done something worth talking about.
Because it's art, and art is considered expression, and speech is considered to represent expression. A far more important question that is a bit off topic is how the fuck are corporations considered persons?!?!?!
Much lower pressures... You mean like 35 million pounds per square inch instead of the 71.7 million pounds per square inch, of which, both are way beyond the approximate 14 pounds per square inch (no millions there) you have outside that diamond anvil they made it in.
Stable at a lower pressure isn't the same as stable at any pressure or stable at no pressure, and let's face it, going from 71,700,000 to about 14 is pretty darn close to going to zero.
True, but you have to start somewhere, and you never know what will ultimately come of a new discovery or even what other discovers will be made using the insights from this one.
Plane trip to the UK. First leg was no stop, and I saw them load my luggage. (It was rather easily identifiable.) By the time we'd hit the first stop where I had to change planes, they'd already lost it. Spent the entire layover dealing with the red tape over the lost luggage. Had reports of it in various places, all of which were later denied. My aunt who lived in another state and had never been mentioned got called to come to the airport and pick it up for me. She gets their, and they deny everything. This was in the 80s, so it's been a while. Finally I got a call that my luggage had arrived. It was 10 months and 4 days AFTER my flight. Nobody knows where it had been, or why, but it had a tag from Red Star. I still don't know what the heck Red Star is, and neither did anyone else. Since that was pre-internet, and a name like Red Star would automatically be associated with the USSR, which hadn't broken up yet, it was all very strange.

They aren't very good at making a road system that properly handles the traffic either.

Anyhow, interesting idea, but still, WTF
Both vacuum and high pressures have other problems when dealing with cells essentially calibrated for about 1 atmosphere of pressure.
Actually all the reports are that it tastes like pork, which is also rather explains why the attempts to wean cannibals off of eating humans worked when they provided them with pigs to raise and eat.
Of course part of that was some companies were getting subsidized by their governments which made a very unfair market situation to begin with.

Not really, something that big and that close would have been spotted more than 10 minutes out.

You push hate, bigotry, violence, and xenophobia, so of course this kind of stuff escalates. :(
Stay tuned, more acts of horrific inhumanity to come
I've lived in texas, and it's not very sane down there. It's my policy to stay away from anything doing with texas completely.
Because it's art, and art is considered expression, and speech is considered to represent expression.
A far more important question that is a bit off topic is how the fuck are corporations considered persons?!?!?!
It has been affirmed in your home and in your papers, but has also been stated to not be relevant in public, because it is IN PUBLIC
