Wait, what?... When did integration require you to have a 'formula' for the function?...
Or rather to put it in another way; a data set as in the measurements from a lab test do translate into a function (for the points where we have data) and if we decide on how to interpolate between values we have a function which is continuous. So yeah, the slashdot item is spot on and you're probably in the same category as dr. Tai.
What is the carbon sequestering potential of a desert? And what is it for rainforest?
We need to supply the world's energy demands no matter what just cause people are people, and if we can do that with the Sahara desert that's much better than cutting down the whole of South America's rainforest.
No matter what we're not going to live in a 100% pristine and untouched planet, just not gonna happen. So let's make the least impact possible.
Yes, we want to expend vast amounts of sys-admin time and effort in order to optimize all the world's routing tables just to gain us two or three years extra, including all the fuckups and bad routing that will happen due to this optimization. (Supposedly the routing tables are fickle beast these days due to their complexity)
First, swedish police had lots of opportunities and offers to interview him while he was still in Sweden. For some reason they didn't do it, probably mostly cause the accusations were vapid.
Second, what he is under investigation of is not 'rape' and is very unlikely to give any prison time at all even if convicted afaik. Well, that is unless they want to throw the book at him to cause as much damage as possible instead of giving out blind justice.
Not unreasonable? Depends on what you really are after.
Lowest inflation in 50 years and you're worried about inflation... Been drinking a bit too much tea lately?
The US can't keep printing money, but that's not due to inflation or fear of devaluation. Rather it will cause an arms-race between large export countries to keep themselves competitive.
The camera was in reality a camouflaged RPG which will of course look larger when it is made ready to fire.
Also it wasn't a dangerous Baghdad residential neighborhood they were loitering in, but a field of sunflowers and banana-trees where weapons are a sure signs one is out to kill some tofu-fish.
Better a live fool 100 times than a dead fool once.
You never know how long you got after a tsunami warning unless they actually state it originated far enough away, as there's a few minutes delay before the warning reaches you.
I recently started playing SC2 after a long time of just playing EVE online or go.
Kinda suck at the multi-tasking and reaction time after so many years only training my strategical skills, but notice it improving little by little. So definitely would recommend trying out something that forces you to gain back some reaction skills.
I don't know what university you went to, but when i took Informatics it's true they didn't teach us much hands-on programming yet that was more cause we were expected to learn the practical parts ourselves on our own time. When time came to do assignments you either knew the basics already or had to figure them out.
You hold one person responsible for the whole swarm's upload and propagation?
There's actually ways of calculating how much of an effect she had on spreading the song, that is to say on average how many she uploaded equivalent of full copies to. E.g. if there's 100 people who steal a total of $1.000.000 worth of goods from a store and they have no connection to each other, if you can quite accurately calculate the average or reasonable limit of what the single person you did catch actually stole... Would it make sense to fine and charge that one person for a theft of $1.000.000?
Actually, that's exactly how it should be... Let the US bound passengers deal with the idiotic extra checks, and make us other go through the useful ones.
Only thing you're going to get from me taking of my shoes is a biological weapon going off.
Anyone who thinks the bees solved NP-hard problem here does not know what they're talking about...
Those bees did not do an exhaustive search for the optimal path, only one that is 'good enough'. Computers can do the same with any decent algorithm. Only difference here i assume is that the bees have hardware that has gone through natural selection to produce a pretty good 'best effort' algorithm.
If those bees can produce the optimal path for all corner-case setups then I'll be rather impressed.
So you're advocating a bullet in the head of every single US president the past 50 years?...
Newsflash if you didn't know, but that food aid to Haiti you went on actually devastated the local rice production through the availability of cheap low-quality subsidized US rice.
Countries do not usually take light at other countries sending in agents to murder or kidnap people, even foreigners, on their soil. It's the kind of thing that usually causes huge diplomatic crisis.

The anonymous submitter obviously sent in that submission due to her worries about the subject.

A few things you're missing (or ignoring) here...

I can write the fastest file system around, assuming you don't put much weight on the whole 'being able to read the data back' thingie.
Why is SHA1 deprecated?...
Just cause it's stupid to rely on it for obfuscating stored passwords doesn't mean it's still useful for tasks it is more suitable for.

While I'm no vampire, I don't really see how they would be happy to see all their meals turned into zombies with skins turned into blood.
Humans are part of nature, are they not?
I'm confused... how is selective breeding not evolution?
Hell, I'd even call it is Darwinian evolution where human selection is part of the environment.

Nice. Next time do it also in Norwegian and Japanese (including punctuation), and perhaps I'll be impressed by your linguistics skills.

I hear Argentina is on the forefront of computer trends, and the best place to go if you want to see where the world is heading.
I like to think of it as the release of secret information has an obvious anti-american bias.

So Vietnam wasn't a fuckup cause a minority in the south were against a change in the political system?
Seems to me the US military has been whining on an epic level compared to WikiLeaks... Except you probably don't see it as whining.
