You might as well complain that dropping an anvil on sombody's head will not result in a bump but will crush their freaking skull and kill them.
Yea, WTF is up with that???
Oh rubbish.. the old educational road runner cartoons make it clear that if you drop an anvil on their head you get a sound suspiciously like a flute ccompanied by a 9 inch bump with stars circling it that looks suspiciously like a certain non cartoon body part
A spider response! I only had to scroll down ten responses this time to find an on-topic comment. Those ADD drugs must be working on some of the/. members;-)
Er...last time I checked, space was much much colder than the ocean. Exposure to the sun might be very hot, but f the ship is that close to a star it can temporarily use it's nuclear energy instead of generating it's own. Besides, any advanced system capable of bending space would be far more massive than a nuke engine.. Captain Kirk has been flying massive ships since 1966 or so , and what about plan 9 from outer space?
For decades I've been saying that the universe we live in is a binary system, comprised of on and off , 1s and 0s, all opposites.. . This just goes further to proving it.....Welcome to the matrix, for real;-)
I do kow what it means and i nearly shit a brick.... Although "space and time" may yet prove to be components of a "super universe", this latest revelation, along with the also recently discovered, internal binary error correcting code inherent in partcle physics, is a jawdropper...
When I was growing up in the '50s and '60s, not a problem, everybody was scared of computers.. thinking they would turn out like Landrew on Star Trek. Scary that Siri is already smarter than the Enterprise computer now... Didn't bother me, by the mid 70's I had already biuilt a heathkit, and several guitar amps too.. and by god, learned binary code.. ouch!
I am mennonite. I do website development and tech support for a living. I live in a town that predomantently mennonite. Everybody here lives as modernly as the rest of the western world, with computers, cars, cell phones, microwaves and so on...
The horse-and-buggy mennonites you're thinking about are Old Order Mennonites. There are a few of those around here, but by and large, mennonites are just a particular belief system within modern society.
Maybe he really meant "Luddites".. Sounds quite a bit like "Mennonites".. I mean, it has "ites" in it...;-)
But post-1986 technology can help illiterates correct their grammar errors.
Respectfully, I disagree. There's no technology in the world that can help with that, as evidenced by the high percentage of illiterate "device" users in America;-)
Also, if I coud choose particulars on where, and how much, memory is alocated to VM on OSX, I would definitely use an SSD for that.. I seem to recall seeing hybrid drives that do something like that aanyways, by loading the currently used data off the HD onto the SSD portion....
I would have thought that SSDs are ideal candidates for integration into a HHD/SSD hybrid RAID formation. The problem with how SSDs go, is there's no warning. One day, they just.. stop. We all know about the ""click of death" in a standard HHD, whch usually gives us enough time to run to the shop and find the only available drive has half the capacity of the one that's failing;-). We do get time to get the data off , though... Not so with SSDs..If I ever get one I fiully intend to try this hybrid RAID idea.. the best configuration I haven't sorthed out yet, though...
Analog tape to DSD is really the cat's ass, IMHO, but sadly, it never caught on. I very much do like the sound of extremely high quality tape. I can't exactly describe what about it makes it more "musical", but then neither can I why "Audirvana" sounds so much better than standard audio players on a Mac either. Problem with Analog/DSD, is once you encode it to PCM, or rip it to your computer, you lose all the benefits. Many less informed listening comparisons of the two formats have , absurdly, got a digital rip somewherein the lineage, which negates the advantage. I would definitely love to use a DSD for multitrack recording. I do not know if such a thing exists however...
The management assumed those idiot kids were lucky to make it that far but now the adults were in charge and were going to save them from screwing it all up. And that's exactly how it turned out. I think. I didn't rtfa
cause this article was written for them yung 'uns.. Brin and Page were latecomers, actually.. I still remember Mosaic, and crashy web pages, and a who;e lot of different search engines. If one couldn't find it, there was a completely dfferent algorithm that could, on one of the others like Jeeves or Altavista.. problem was they started loading up with so much advertising, badly written Javascript, and proprietary plugins like whatever flash was called before it was Flash... that when Google came along with that completely blank page, except for the search box.. it was an instant coup...
The problem with alternatives is they work for the party collecting the money, but not so much for the parties having to pay the money. It is the seller that dictates the terms of payment, and most online sellers are exclusively paypal...
Almost, but not quite there, I presume... Well, almost all aliens look like us, *and* speak english, because the B5 casting director made *sure* they could speak "engrish".. although I was never quite sure about Londo...;-)
Great cover handles! The "Stork" and the "Condor" ! Wonder which is the double agent? Do they reoport to "The Seagull"? And how did they find out about the plot.. did they have a "pigeon" in the roost?
You've nailed it with "their ability to use the US court system", which is broken, and simply is unable to fairly look at the merits of any case. I assume that your'e the poor soul that got hammered by these trolls. It is the US court and legal system that is firmly on the side of money that is the problem. Justice is for sale to the highest bidder.
One thing is clear though: Handing money to poor people isn't the answer. It never will be. If what I'm saying weren't true, then lottery winners would stay rich after getting all of that money. They don't though, that money eventually runs out, and usually within only a few years.
Your logic is faulty, based on a false premise. Most lottery winners are not poor before they win, but rather, middle class. And yet, they too, blow all the money... Poor people, however, never develop the *skills* needed to manage money. It is not *simply* a matter of "self discipline" but a SKILL, that requires practice. No money, no practice. If then suddenly they come into a sum of money, no matter how quick they learn, it is usually not fast enough.. and some learn very fast, indeed, but not fast enough.
The skills needed to manage money tend to be aquired from family, so if one is raised in that environment, with access to enough funds to learn *and* make mistakes with, they tend to be ghood later on and well off. Unfortunately, they tend to be the harshest critics of the poor, never considering the fact that they had the opportunity to learn what the disadvantaged did NOT. Unless something really bad happens to them and they get really ill or some other tragedy affects them. They then develop some empathy and start writing comments like this one;-)
Incidentally, I think those buckyballs ARE dangerous, because too many of the people that buy them are careless slobs and leave them around their toddlers..
How in their right mind could ANYONE say this is good? If this precedent is set, who do you think they;'ll go after next? That's right, the average working stiff collecting a paycheck at some company he has no involvement with policywise. Work at an auito plant? maybe install the car door locks? better get insurance.. if "somebody has an accident and the door opened" it's YOU they'll go after for mega millions, buddy.. No more beer money for you...

Does this explain how Spider-Man can shoot and then swing on webs that are attached to... what? Clouds? The International Space Station?
The moon, silly...

is it a failure of the US social safety net that this man has to do this?
More likee failure of the ARC Net ;-) Remember his prior occupation!
