I said for free... i don't see how mimicking someone else's product and then releasing it for free is a problem... OSS is a massive example, WINE anyone?
Provided it's free and they don't distribute original content directly from the game (e.g if it extends the original content then they provide it as a patch or require you to have the original game to source the original content into a new engine or something)... how can this possibly infringe on copyright. On what bases have these remakes been "shutdown"?
For a bunch of fans and batteries they don't half talk a bunch of BS... "a revolution" and "so that you can achieve your dreams", i'm honestly not sure if this is form onion news or something from southpark.
Yeah, I'm no avengbusters:sharkgedon fan and i thought John Carter was an ok (not amazing) film that would be happily received by most sci-fi fans.
I guess this is the problem with pay up front model - it mostly rewards marketing... what about all of those terrible films that did great at the box office and pretty much nobody thought was good?
...they just don't emit anything at the point of use. There's still plenty of emissions (or other environmental concerns) from the site where the power for them is generated...
Whats more efficient: 10,000 tiny petrol/deisel engines being carted around or one big fossil fuel X plant? honestly the fuel doesn't even matter that much to figure this out. Also replacing cars first at least gives you an infrastructure that is ready to run on clean energy even if the backend still needs replacing... EV's can be done right now, power plants will take time but we are getting there. So lets do the stuff we can do now - NOW
Second: The main reason to want EVs today? your lungs: cities stink, they weaken your lungs and vastly increase your chances of various types of lung disease... the fumes are comparable and in some cases many times worse than smoking - yet you don't see anti-deisel campaigns or cars with pictures of lung disease on the back of them being sold.
If you don't care about global warming, think about that awful stench, that burning sensation at the back of your nose if you ever try to run in a densely packed city in busy traffic and wonder what it's going to do to your lungs... even pedestrians can't escape this.
A Facebook replacement is another tough one, perhaps even tougher than email, but I believe it's also solvable.
Although i'm a little biased on this subject, i can't help but think that in 10 years time people will be scratching their heads trying to understand why facebook was so important to everyone - it feels like something that should be grown out of... i know people like to connect, but there has to be better ways (different ways) than facebook that have yet to be realised, and there is no reason why all your data and activity has to be mined by a single large corporation in the process.
I think emails is more useful, it might seem old but conceptually it will never dies because it's so simple and obvious - facebook isn't.
Ignoring the cancelling of forces on a micro-local scale, are you saying the power for the strong forces are inverse squared like gravity? If not, what are they?
I don't know what kind of distance function the strong force has, my point was more that the cumulative native of gravity is the primary reason why it continues to operates at larger distances.
I had a look for this anyway and it's a slightly more complicated answer than simply some exponential function: between quarks there seems to be a relationship based force "color force" which means beyond a certain distance the force actually does not diminish at all - however this is only true for a single pair, and does not apply between all quarks in the universe. I'm just reciting whats on wikipedia, it's a well written article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
The point remains that these other fundamental forces are conditional or can be partially or completely satisfied - where as none of that is true for gravity.
If the force of gravity is the inverse square of the distance, what are the 'powers' of the other forces? Cubed, quad power, 10th power?
I always had roughly the same thoughts on this argument, that other fundamental forces don't appear to operate over the distances that gravity does... but it's actually quite logical when you play out the details: The inverse square function of distance is no coincidence, it's comes from the dimensionality of space and an omnidirectional force which is why it applies to other things like electromagnetic waves.
Other forces are stronger (the strong nuclear force is 10^38 times stronger than gravity at the same distance!) and i think they probably have the same distance function... So why isn't it stronger at large distances? As others have said the main difference between gravity and other forces is it's insatiability, (it's cumulative). When some subatomic particles form an atom, the forces at play are satisfied to some degree and the resulting matter is less reactive (has less attraction to other similar matter); whereas when matter coalesces under the force of gravity, only separation is satisfied, the force is just combines resulting in a denser gravitational force in a region of space.
Another way to compare is by imagining under what hypothetical scenario another force would act the same way: for instance how could you make a strong nuclear force on a universal scale, you would need a large mass (i.e the size of the earth) of protons or something... and they need to stay in the same place (not fly apart) oh and they need to have not reacted with anything... That scenario would result in a frighteningly large force but it will also never happen because those forces tend to get satisfied on small scales very quickly.
Forget the summary or the article, the title makes no sense... "pinpoint" and "likely" are pretty close to antonyms of each other... that's like saying a weather simulation has pinpointed where it's going to rain next week.
because it's the browser that's closest to Firefox 3.x in UI and functionality (if you customize it.)
I'm asking you because this seems to be a common thing that comes up with FireFox users, they talk about how they like the UI (but not in the new one or whatever).
Do people really spend that much time in the browser UI? I just want a browser UI to be unobtrusive and stay the hell out of the way, i'm quite happy with an address bar and nothing else, 99.9% of the UI i use when using a web browser is inside the viewport.
Whoa... i know you have to pick a range for your checkbox but this is a rather large one, but of course that is the trick, everyone will focus on non-consensual sex when a rather large proportion of that is will be non-consensual touching, magnifying there numbers... why don't you do a study on males with "non-consensual violence and touching" same thing.
*brushes past someone in hallway* interpreted as -> He pushed me he pushed me... waaaaa
It's a shame because studies like these will do very little for the real cases of non-consensual sex by devaluing the more honest studies.
Why does anyone require 'due diligence' and fact-checking against insane violent assholes
Mainly so you don't accidentally kill the neighbor of the insane extremist, when the neighbor is actually a rather nice guy.
And what do you think the following results in?...
...the government of France has been bombarding ISIS positions in Syria with airstrikes
But don't worry i'm sure all of France's airstrikes don't kill anyone innocent... because ISIS live on an island with a 50 mile radius and a flag on top saying "ISIS LIVES HERE - WE DON'T USE HUMAN SHEILDS BECAUSE WE ARE THE BAD GUYS"
Do not sound dissimilar in action from the NSA, GCHQ, [intelligence agency X]... from the TFA:
The companies they work for often have dozens to hundreds of employees, pay bribes to local law enforcement and politicians, and are often seen as the employer of choice in their region. Working for companies that break into companies in other countries is often proudly worn as a patriotic badge.
The latest plan is directed at the "last 5 percent" — such as people in remote areas
They will have to redefine "remote" because live the 10th largest city in the UK and the only option i have is a 3Mbit connection, they all go to the same cabinet regardless of what ISP you choose.
The first thing these stupid people say "OMG a Terrorist could use it!", as if they can't already use the alternative. If it something new. Jumping at every shadow.
Yes, it's silly when people don't consider the dangers of new things with the perspective of existing things... but what i find interesting is that most people are polarised on the subject.... to one of the straw men which can be summed up as: "technology kills people" || "people kill people".
When i think it's reasonable to say that reality is far more grey, and the old saying "With great power comes great responsibility" is the most truthful... and frankly a 18Kg pavement bound self driving box while possibly mildly useful and relieving of mundane tasks - is not "great power" or dangerous by comparison to most things... like a sharp stick.
I don't care for the debate but lying down working vs standing or sitting makes for almost the least physical movement possible, this is how they used to study the effects of microgravity on earth - subject the patient to a bed for a month... not much difference between those studies and this.
Yeah i think a NAS is more likely to be one of the first things it turns up in, it's intended purpose is embedded where people generally give more of a shit about it not falling over all the time... but that would also be nice for servers, although people start to get a bit more sensitive about performance then.
... Minix 3... the future of anything close to a conceptually stable OS for the future... but you stick with your old Linux based on the obsolete Minix 1.

No, it's totally real! Read down to question number 8 where it talks about the esteemed Lunix operating system.
