    Not the ship, but the warped bubble it self would rip it. Can you imagine the energy used to warp between two points of space? Nobody can. Oh Star Trek... forget, I was kidding.

    The warp bubble would rip the objects.

  9. Re:Today we have homeless planets... on 'Homeless' Planets May Be Common In Our Galaxy · · Score: 1

    No doubt on that. But we have to assume the existence of hundreds more times normal/visible matter. After all there are some educated guesses that only 5% of the known universe is made of atoms. Even if you extrapolate 5000 "starless" planets per star, you still have to think about how massive a star can be.

  10. Today we have homeless planets... on 'Homeless' Planets May Be Common In Our Galaxy · · Score: 0

    tomorrow we will have homeless moons, rocks, asteroids etc etc etc... and dark matter will be reduced in a big 0.000001%.

    Yes. Google loves Java and guess who got in bed? Oracle.

    No. It will take years to deprecate. Said Qt as primary, all the rest something else.

    So, how long will take google to trash the java stuff and absorb Qt as the primary toolkit/sdk ecosystem? With or without it how will they fight the Nokia patent pool brought in court by their puppet master?

    With all that data they're getting everyday, the real loss will be at who had it given. That data will be very useful for the next 50 years and if they go under radar they will have more freedom to work and sell it.

  22. Re:I had the same problem, but with Sony. on Apple Support Company Sues Customer For Complaint · · Score: 1

    No. The cause of "dead" pixels was dust as it didn't let them to be back-lighten. These LCD metal frames aren't sealed or tighten.

  23. I had the same problem, but with Sony. on Apple Support Company Sues Customer For Complaint · · Score: 4, Interesting
    After 20 pixels went out I took my Sony Vaio to repair, as it was under warranty terms. After 40 days they call me back and said that it didn't qualify under warranty because it was dirt between LCD and backlight, and yes, they would repair if I pay 800 euros for a 16.4 inch panel. I must say that at that time a new one laptop cost exactly the same price. We have a law in Portugal that any repair can't exceed the original equipment price.. it's funny.

    So I didn't accept it and after 200 or 300 pixels, I just disassembled my Sony Vaio 16.4 inch panel made in North Korea (yeah..) by Sharp and cleaned it, it took about 4 hours of my time but its perfect now.

    Don't ask me how the hell the dust got between those two layers.

    Yeah... right, for extra functionality like faster charge or something else better we have this extra special model specific cable.

  25. Without cash... on Estonian Economist Suggests Abandoning Cash · · Score: 5, Insightful

    No way. Economies can't work without thieves or corrupt politicians. Even if something emerge to fill the gap, like gold, drugs, diamonds, name it, the neighbor country with real cash would get the benefits. At the bottom, cash on your pocket grants some privacy... and security.
