Don't nuclear bombs just rely on nuclear potential energy, with every particle that comes in coming out so no matter actually gets physically converted into energy at all? If so, how does e=mc^2 figure into it?
With the video being out there, it helps prevent the IOC from creating their own BS story about how the accident was the athlete's fault since we have some evidence to work with.
I disagree, this stuff is actually interesting. The power suit alone would make a good article, we also get plasma cutters, lasers and all sorts of interesting tech being developed. I thought this stuff is what Slashdot was supposed to be all about?
Everything on the internet starts off as a group of reasonable, intelligent people. MMOers in the olden days were willing to take sudden extreme losses like having most of their stuff looted and being camped for a few hours, with the understanding that they themselves, with their guilds, were responsible for retribution. Butt then, as with everything, the size grows and the quality of the users and community gets diluted down. Now, we have things like MMOs like WoW where 90% of the effort put into them is just there for the first 6 months of your playing time, until you get to level 80 and just teleport between your favorite instances. The only cure is to start over from scratch.
If you actually read the story in question on Slashdot, you'll see everyone point out what an idiot whoever put the story up is and explain that the whole point of memory is that you use close to 100% of it since every byte you use makes things go faster. It's been this way for years. kdawson et al's anti-MS biases get on the front page, and everyone kicks them down (unless they're justified).
And not working for the employer is exactly how you fight it. The free market gives everyone the right to vote with their dollars, and we should exercise that right. If enough people oppose this the employer will back down. They're out there to help themselves, not hurt you, and if they realize that all of their new workers are people who can't find jobs anywhere else they'll rethink their policies.
Why would 80mph take up 80/30 times as much gas per mile? I understand that air resistance goes up with velocity squared but at these low speeds I would imagine that friction with the ground is the dominant factor.

Satisfaction isn't a binary thing. If you're willing to make the jump and spend some time relearning things, for a one-time price your life will improve forever (or at least until the next thing comes along).
The problem is that you gave the Linux box to him without telling him that it's Linux (or without putting sufficient attention on it). Mac OS has all of those problems, but everything about the computer keeps screaming "this is not a Windows PC". The average customer seems to accept that and learn Mac OS as a new system that has some different software packages running on it.
Wikipedia is a credible source and it has been shown to be, at worst, slightly less accurate than Britannica and Encarta. The reward for taking the extra inaccuracy is a massive increase in detail. As for common knowledge, you're massively underrating it. There are certain common knowledge facts that are incorrect, but if you pick a random fact the chance that there's a misconception around it is almost zero.
Nah, they'll start charging by the gigabyte, so if you hook a computer up to internet and 2000 machines end up routing through it downloading Wolverine, you'll have to pay for 1.4 TB of traffic ($1400 at 1 dollar per gigabyte). Hopefully we'll get rid of ISPs entirely sooner or later, also fixing the net neutrality problem, the throttling problem and kicking the RIAA a few extra times but it'll take at least a decade.
Exactly, that's what true democracy is about. It's about the public regulating what I can do on my own property and even inside my own home. It's about things that are harmless being banned just because some guy convinced the masses that that's the way to go. I would much rather live in a country with a constitution that secures certain basic rights even against every other person in the country. But yes, tyranny of the minority is worse than tyranny of the majority, it's just that both are pretty bad.
what's wrong with installing Windows via Boot Camp?
1) Costs money. $40-$80 is already expensive, no one would buy a game for $240-$280 2) Windows takes up an extra few gigabytes on your hard drive 3) Is a hassle to set up 4) Is a hassle to switch OSes every time you want to play, and then back 5) You're letting Microsoft's grimy hands get into your computer
The fact that the defendant has made an argument isn't news. Anyone can make an argument, and the amicus curiae system even allows strangers like me to submit an argument on this case to the court. When the judge decides in favor of one party or the other, that's going to be the significant event. I would give some latitude if this were a pivotal Supreme Court case, but so far it's just a filesharing trial.

If the citizens are actively prevented from knowing the law, ignorance is now a valid excuse.

Nothing wrong with saying MS implements their formats better than people reverse engineering or looking at Microsoft's ISO documents.

We have to destroy the education system in order to save it.
The problem is, people who did not vote for the politician get hurt just as badly. It's collective punishment, which is immoral and wrong.
I could see your 0-dimensional object if the students, except (not including) their NOT gate, were going away for college.
Hope that clears things up.

Don't even look at the Tolkien Ring driver code, I was told.
Sage advice...
Don't you mean "loss of privacy should be opt in"? Opt-out loss of privacy means that unless you opt out of losing privacy you lose your privacy.
Per program? You don't have just a single program which does everything you might need with a massive chain of ternary operators?
