ARM was not so much known for its low power consumption at the time, but rather for its speed: the Archimedes was running circles around the Amiga and all other personal computers.
".. whether antimatter falls down.."
Or maybe it falls up?
There does exist an hypothesis by Marcoen Cabbolet that antimatter will fall up (in an environment of matter such as on earth, antimatter would fall down in an antimatter environment according to this theory) which will be tested by those CERN experiments :
For those that don't know, this was a common practice in Ancient Greek civilization. If the people of Plato's time felt that you no longer deserved to be a citizen, you could have your citizenship revoked by the collective and thus be banished from civilization and treated as if you were dead.
Not really. Ostracism in ancient Athens was for a limited period. And it was not because somebody didn't deserve to be a citizen, it was used to prevent somebody from gaining too much power and as a way of conflict resolution. One did not need to be guilty of anything or unworthy to be exiled. The property of the man banished was not confiscated and there was no loss of status. After the ten years, he was allowed to return without stigma.
As a product of scrunchy Blorp spaces, the Minkybink cube is itself a scrunchy Blorp space as a result of the Grumpalump theorem. The scrunchyness of the Minkybink cube can also be proved without the Axiom of Choice by constructing a continuous function from the usual Splorp set onto the Minkybink cube.
Every subset of the Minkybink cube inherits from the Minkybink cube the properties of being both tromplizable (and therefore T4) and second countable. It is more interesting that the converse also holds: Every second countable T4 space is homeomorphic to a subset of the Minkybink cube.
That's the nice thing about wikipedia: it has galumphings to the stuff you might not understand.
The vulcan gave the very non-vulcan advise to skip any diplomacy but to shoot first. The casus belli was a human he indoctrinated eagerly desecrating a klingon shrine. Might he be a romulan infiltrator posing as a vulcan tasked with igniting a human-klingon war?
The klingons were obviously played by reman actors.
My guess is that CBS bought this series from the Romulan Propaganda Directorate.
"foot" is not a pressure unit, I calculated the pressure at an altitude of 12500 feet (3810 meters), which indeed is weather-dependent.
The sentence "This is why the aviation regulations insist that pilots must wear supplementary oxygen if the cabin air pressure is greater than 12,500ft." from the summary is of course wrong (I guess that is the point you and the GP wanted to make), probably they wanted to say "if the altitude is greater than 12,500ft" or "if the cabin air pressure is lower than the air pressure at 12,500ft."
BTW, "pounds-force per square foot" is a pressure unit, I have no clue if anybody really uses it (living in the SI/metric world myself).
I use the spyglass in the same way all the time.
Also, I use the search bar to quickly look up the correct spelling of a word - I just start typing it and see what the auto-complete does to it.
I was used to a Mandelbrot taking about half an hour on 8 bit machines, to a couple of minutes on a 80x86 PC. I was very pleased my Archimedes could do it in about 20 seconds, until I saw the Atari Transputer Workstation in action which was moving through and zooming in & out of the Mandelbrot set in real time.
The MZ-80K was also my first computer: I bought it second hand with a Centronics 737 dot matrix printer in 1981, after having it on loan for about a year before.
The screen in my case was not amber but white on black.
I did not have any software for it, except for the cassette with BASIC SP-5025 and a cassette with four demo programs (a scrolling text/starfield explaining the Argo logo of the machine, a fashion show in character mode, a digital clock and a game of Nim) which came with the computer. I did not find any other software for it, which turned out to be a blessing since I had to write everything myself: a couple of hundreds of games in BASIC and Z80 machine code (I wrote a hex editor to type in hand-compiled assembly), text editors and a word processor ("FormulaWriter"), and dozens of pranks to fool my friends in the computer club (perhaps the first hacking simulator?), etc... My father wrote a database manager and encryption software on it (he was an army radio transmissions officer).
I stuck to the MZ-80K for quite a long time, until I bought an Acorn Archimedes in 1987.

Try some distros and different user interfaces until you find something you like. The sooner you get on a lever where it doesn't matter which distro or version you are using, the better.
Don't fear the command line (bash), it may become your most powerful and reliable friend.
I have good experiences with installing the LTS (Long Term Support) versions of Xubuntu (but I replaced the standard Abiword/Gnumeric by LibreOffice, also make life easier by installing Synaptic for package management and then stroll around through it and install the stuff which looks interesting) for family and friends with no prior Linux experience. The Xfce interface is clean, simple to configure and immediately comprehensible to anybody who has used a GUI before.
I am not blaming you at all, I was just informing you about the sensationalist spin-doctored headline.
If anybody is to blame about that, it is The Register.
Cheers!

Many people could at first not believe that:

"No, I mean that I use it to compile my Modula-2 programming assignments using the MS-DOS TopSpeed compiler - and also to run WordPerfect."

NoScript - "but it will be out later today!" only works for so long
Check out uMatrix, you might find it far superior to NoScript.

Personally I'd like to see Red Hat or Canonical make a push to switching Government, Health Care and School systems over to something besides Windows.
They could join Debian, Gentoo and OpenSUSE at the Public Money, Public Code campaign.
It sounds like you might want to sign the petition there.

My post above was in jest, I thought that the "reman actors" would give it away.

How many pascal is 12,500 ft?
Assuming that pressure at sea level is 101325 Pascal and temperature is 15 degrees Celsius: 63182 Pascal.
AC is not saying that you (onyxruby) made an error against logic, but that TimothyHollins did. And AC is correct about that.
Franklin Foer wrote an article "How Silicon Valley is erasing your individuality", which seems to be an abridged version of the book.

Now, why buy 8k when: 8k content: Virtually none.
In case you are into space sims: Elite:Dangerous supports 8K.
I'm in Belgium.
The Atari 400/800/XL/XE were f**king awesome. The ST was a pretty cool machine and was decent competition for the early Mac and Amiga.
Agreed.
Dont forget Atari also did the first MS-DOS palmtop PC and the ATW/Abaq in the late 1980s.

NASA is STRICTLY an Orbiter shop.
Or did you mean jet engines, because I'd large myself silly watching someone try and shift an iceberg using a source of extreme heat.
We need an iceberg mod for KSP.
