i don't know about the GP but i specifically became a developer because i was lazy. so i could program my computer to do my work for me.
If you do a lot of work, you must be doing something wrong...or are one of the hardware guys, because you can't easily script away installing hardware.
it is more like they are measuring the color of the cat's fur, but don't know if it is alive or dead.
and there seems to be a another consequence of this experiment, if the superposition state is collapsing, they are able to nudge it back into a superposition.
i believe the problem is that it might be possible to know what it will collapse into, but we still can't influence how it will collapse.
so the receiver will know it will likely collapse into state X before actually measuring it...how does that really help anything? you are just sort of measuring it earlier.
Employee time and hardware is not free, even if the software is, and everything you mentioned would take one or the other.
we used to use CVS on a linux box and have recently converted to GIT. my opinion was that SVN was terrible and not an option as a replacement for CVS. i am sure people will disagree. However, we are extremely happy with GIT.
our "central GIT repository" is located on a windows file share, and we check out our local copies from that. it is a fairly simple setup and the only work it requires is getting a windows file share, and i suppose learning some git commands. also the GIT extensions for Visual Studio seem to work quite well.
I am a fan of cygwin, but that isn't really a requirement to get GIT working on windows.
I agree that there is a problem with the link the GP posted.
I do not see how this is violating any causality.
lets see what happens from Victor's perspective...he is viewing form the side and is equidistant from Alice and Bob. say bob and alice are 1 light year apart. and their FTL signal is 2x the speed of light.
timeline, According to victor: 0 years : Alice Sends her message (Event A) 0.5 years: Bob receive the FTL signal (Event B) and Bob Sends Reply to Alice 1 years: The Light from Event A finally reaches Bob, he ignores it because he already replied. also Alice receives Bob's Reply, and then waves at him in thanks (Event C) 1.5 years: the Light from Event B finally reaches Alice, but she doesn't care, she waved back half a year ago. 2 years: the light from event C finally reaches Bob, and he fondly remembers how he was able help Alice a year ago...
Are you trying to say there is a per transaction charge for handling cash?
yes actually there is! the store needs to keep their register stocked with small bills and change in order to make change for customers using cash. At least in the US businesses typically pay a fee to buy large quantities of coins and small bills from banks. sometimes they also need to pay a fee to deposit large quantities of coins, such as if they end up with too many nickels in the register and don't know what to do with them.
you also then have to somehow securely transfer the money to the bank, and the change from the bank to your registers. this is a direct cost that is incurred to the business for using cash.
as well a smart business balances their registers every night, or shift change. this takes 1 or more employees time to count the cash in the drawer to make sure your employee wasn't crooked and stealing from you. (or just stupid and doesn't know how to count out correct change)
there are other indirect costs to handling cash. 1) making change is often slower than credit cards (time is money) 2) you have various fraud risks, such as a bill being fake 3) the cashier could just pocket the cash (or even just giving out the wrong change to the patron) 4) it is a target for thugs. credit card receipts don't interest them much, but cash does.
And the most important thing, the IPO put a LOT of money into facebooks own coffers. Facebooks IPO was a resounding success for the company. they sold out every share they were offering.
The only thing the IPO was a mistake for were the speculators that thought it was a good idea to buy an overhyped stock that current available financial data was absolutely unable to justify the price they were asking.
i could even link some of my past comments, saying how overvalued i thought it was. however i still don't think it has hit bottom. eventually they may be worth what they were asking at their IPO, but they definitely aren't there yet.
the only problem the price drop may pose is a retention issue for some of the exec's who were compensated with too much stock, and now see it just losing value. similar to what Zynga is currently going through.
If i recall GoDaddy had a hand in writing the bill as well. they finally changed their stance after there was an exodus from their service over SOPA. and even then it seemed they only changed their stance because of their bottom dollar, and ultimately they still believed in it.
I pulled all my domains from GoDaddy a long time ago because of their SOPA support.
It seems anonymous is rather late to the party for this. all the SOPA stuff was many months ago.
it is true anyone will move on if they are given a better opportunity, but the truly over qualified people are more likely to become bored faster and thus begin looking for better opportunities sooner.
i go on unsupported bicycle touring so we need to carry all our own gear. further we occasionally purposefully make it more difficult and add rules that you aren't allowed to purchase anything during the trip. usually the trips are about a week long, but we are carrying all our camping gear, clothes and food to survive for the week.
we have similar carrying space and calorie requirements to soldiers. I don't use MRE's. i do bring a lot of freeze dried stuff and essentially build my own homemade MRE. we do have some small compact camp stoves for heating them. there is enough stuff out there that you can make your own lightweight and compact MRE's that taste better. And if you aren't planning on marching or biking all day, then you also don't have the same calorie requirements.
good items for an emergency/survival food kit.
noodle or rice packets are fairly lightweight, compact and last a long time. freeze dried fruit makes a good crunchy snack, and lasts a long time. pancake mixes usually go over well, and if you get maple sugar you can add water to make syrup to go on the pancakes.
there is a lot of stuff out there, you don't really need to get MRE's
however i guess doing stuff like this gets me on a watch list.
a rather simple solution would be to attach a deposit to filing a DMCA notice. if the notice is unchallenged, or eventually goes to court and is won, then the deposit is returned.
if the notice is challenged, and the organization does nothing, then the content is restored and they lose their deposit. or if it goes to court and the challenger loses the case, then they also lose the deposit. maybe even have the deposit automatically be awarded towards the legal fees of the defendant in this case.
the deposit doesn't necessarily even have to be all that large. if it suddenly costs money to file a DMCA, the filers will at least double check before they file. right now it seems the really have no penalty if they are wrong, so they file first and ask question later.
its funny you seem to think they would let you install their game without it...
UPlay also seems to have a tendency to be offline during major holidays, and thus is why i will no longer buy an UBISOFT game as long as they insist on keeping the always on DRM.

and that excess capacity can't be sold to anyone when your customer is just wasting energy so they don't get fined for not using enough.

Now you know the source of the Gamma Ray Bursts

Handling cash definitely isn't free
Why do geeks get so bent out of shape about people saying "PIN Number" when we have things like GNU?
i think you need to run "mount" on "girlfriend" or "wife" first. and if you don't know where they are you may have to run "find" before that.

However this is about germany, and germany is much smaller than the US.
I still don't know that it would be a good idea to close your door on about 82 million potential users (germany's population according to google)

replying to my own post...
the world wide number for deaths from the flu would be around 500k per year according to wikipedia
and as high as 50 million to 100 million during a pandemic.
Both numbers are from the US, so mostly are.
The infection vector for polio isn't all that hard to control.
it isn't like it is airborn. it spreads via fecal material.
so primarily you just need to wash your hands regularily.
