A young chess grandmaster, who has being practicing chess every single day for 10 years, quickly defeats Bill Gates, who is now an old man with little chess experience.
Silicon valley's companies, which sit on billions of cash, need better educated workers. Why don't they just pay for it? They could do that just by paying the taxes they should pay, instead of dodging them though tax optimization.
There was a story yesterday about life being the best way matter found for thermodynamics second law. Humain activity this is an improvement over general life: we burn as much energy as we can. And now a jet fuel, which obviously cost more to produce than conventional fuel.
Preserving environment was not easy, and now we have thermodynaics second law against us.
It seems weird to me to blame individual where the problem is really political. But if we follow that scheme, protesters would better gather at CEO's houses. Or even better, at shareholder's house. And then perhaps people will discover they have financial products that should cause them to protest at their own place.
I think you consider it the wrong way around. TCP/IP replaced other protocols because it was the protocol used by Internet, and that Internet took over all the BBS and proprietary AOL-like networks that existed before.
Of course they will be hacked. Then they will add DRM, use the DMCA, and finally, in order to monitor the users and make sure they do not hack their cars, mandatory internet connection? Nonsense

In a truly free market, the domain problem does not arise, because internet have not been created. What you have is a myriad of proprietary networks instead.
Well, you are right, but at least in France, church and state are separated, and blasphemy is not an offense. Except in Alsace and Moselle, which were not part of France territory when state and church were separated.
The only nice feature I found on keyboards during the last decade is to have a USB slot on the keyboard itself. That way you do not have to go under the desk to plug a USB key in the PC.
I am not sure I should carry on posting on that thread: it is quite bad for my karma:-)
Let us take two topics: studying other universes beyond what is observable, and studying heavens. Both are unobservable by definition. How can you tell which topic is science and which one is faith? You could tell of both that they could be observed.
I suspect the answer is that multiverse stands within a materialism philosophy, while heavens are tied with idealism. But I am not sure the materalism vs idealism opposition itself can be resolved by any other mean than faith. You believe the universe contains its own explanation, or you believe they are out of reach.
Well, here we do not talk about knowledge that have no immediate application. We talk about knowledge that by definition (the unobservable beyond the universe) will never have application.
That brings this "science" close to the same level as studying heavens, the only difference is that the process is rationale. It does not means it should not be studied, it just means we are on the edge of science and faith, and that it should not be mistaken with more solid science, like physics used us to.
I was referring to the multiverse part. You are not going to find a test about the existence of something which definition is that it cannot be observed.

New rules may be nicer than the previous, but the whole concept of a secret justice remains a shame.
200 kUSD is a fair amount of money. How many players were involved in that loss?
Each time I am cold and I consider I have thousands of kilojoules as fat that remains unused, I feel like a rushed job :-)
Next step should be history course: God created the universe in 6 day and then rested the 7th day...

I wonder why this is a news.
Yet another calendarware: SOGo. It may be too oriented toward user personal agenda.

Old movies help a lot. Kids see unusual piece in technology and ask about them, sometimes even thinking this is new stuff.

TFA says:
a series of six images over a 60-hour period taken from a ground-based satellite
I wonder what a "ground-based satellite" satellite is. Do they meant a telescope?
Don't fight it, prevent it. Vitamin D supplementation during winter is cheap and efficient.

Wikipedia says the record on an optic fiber is 101 Tbps. How is this better?

What happens if you get caught in 5% fake positive? An e-mail asking for confirmation or a SWAT RAID?
Sure, but I bet there would be more criminals without the fear of punishment.
They managed to arrest the guy, that is good defense. Who want to steal stuff if the outcome is guaranteed to be jail?

kernel idle loop is a good candidate.
