  1. Re:How about a lifetime ban if caught? on Tour de France To Use Thermal Cameras To Spot Cheats (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Why would you care about a lifetime ban if your only chance of winning is by cheating.

  2. Try the UFC

    This is another matter - much less cheating in this area after Lance Armstrong doping scandal.

    Tax money wasted but I have to admit I'd rather have them do this than to develop stuff for nuclear weapons

    Nowadays CEA is more involved in public matters, like nuclear plants that generate electricity. FYI

    Not so many sports are as inhuman as cycling.

  6. Before the new particle, past travel could be not impossible. Now they discovered a new particle that makes it impossible. So when they discover yet another particle in the future that invalidates this no-past one, will we be back to "maybe possible"?

    Indeed.

  8. He said he wants to reverse-engineering it (first).

    And if you sum the cpu of all processes that systemd replaces (on another system) what do you get?

  10. Cobol was designed almost 60 years ago. No doubt that if Cobol was created today, it wouldn't stand a chance. Fortunately Javascript is unlikely to resemble that fossil, ever.

    No I mean 43.

  12. Re:51.9 percent on BBC: UK Votes To Leave The European Union (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Would it be 80% or just 50.001% the outcome is the same: UK leaves the EU.

    Please don't forget about us Remain voters and don't hate us! If you do, the Exit voters really HAVE won.

    Exit voters really HAVE won. This is how voting works, decision is taken for the whole country and not only the for the 52% that say "leave". So, no, we don't hate you (neither the Leavers btw) but now you have to take action! Leave the UK and go somewhere else you can (ie not the EU) would be a good start.

  14. Download... but what? on Netflix to Soon Let Users Download Videos, Says Report (dslreports.com) · · Score: 1

    Recently netflix content (since they cut VPN accesses) is limited, and not so interesting. Basically, anytime I want to watch something specific, that's not in Netflix. So I'm always back to browse the site to try and find something watchable, and not what I searched in the first place anyway. I'd prefer no-download and having access to a more interesting set of movies / series... Netflix subscription days are numbered...

    France voted *against* Sarkozy, there is a difference.

  16. Next: France? on BBC: UK Votes To Leave The European Union (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    No doubt this referendum will have an impact on people decisions. France for instance has its presidential elections next year, and all this passion for EU-xit will definitely have its say during the coming political campaigns.

    Mrs. Merkel and Mr. Juncker (and many others, like Mr. Schulz) worked long and hard to achieve just this outcome.

    Not sure about that. Merkel and Juncker are undoubtedly pro-EU. That "divorce" could trigger a high rise of anti-EU advocates within Europe, that may have an impact on next elections (eg France in early 2017).

  19. Re:So the UK says to the EU... on BBC: UK Votes To Leave The European Union (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    UK would like so much to keep saying "buy buy"!

  20. Re:How ages voted on BBC: UK Votes To Leave The European Union (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    That's interesting and not surprising at all. Older people tend to vote for nation-first, less immigration etc...
    Besides, other aspects of the results are also interesting, and show the real difficulty of a referendum where everyone has a vote: expect the less informed people to comprehend economic and world strategic notions in order to choose knowingly, while it's so tempting to take a decision based on more basic arguments like the current immigration, unemployement (...) situation.

  21. Re:Congratulations, Britain! on BBC: UK Votes To Leave The European Union (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe. But the game is not that simple, and EU will surely play to establish new agreements with all those countries to preserve, change or create stronger commercial ties within the two years ahead, they'll have then to choose between EU or UK..

  22. Re:End of Great Britain? on BBC: UK Votes To Leave The European Union (bbc.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    UK is a big nation. Even though the trend seems to go, publicly, "no half-measure" it's in the interest of everyone (UE and UK mainly) to keep tight and friendly relations. The "divorce" will be settled within 2 long years. In the meantime, emotions will cool down, UK dealers will change, EU will reorganize, and new heads will find new ways to establish new arrangements. Future is not so dark on either side.

    It's doubtful you'll find any reference to "gravitational waves" in "the book". This is how work religions: a guy writes a lot of things that could be true at time t in order to convince people (gain power), but these things do not make sense anymore at time t + x years thanks to advances in technology and science. But even nowadays many people prefer to believe in historical religious values, thanks to ignorance.
