Or to put it another way, do they mean it really isn't predictable (perhaps because of all the gravitational influences in the area), or that the math is just a bit harder?
The rotational part of the orbit is chaotic; the worlds tumble, and hence sunrises and sunsets are no longer predictable.
"Rotating around more than one axis" doesn't automatically mean chaotic, does it?
Also there was this quote from the article:
If you were on a fixed point on the surface of Nix, you’d see the Sun rise in the east on one day, then at an ever-changing angle over the next few days, and eventually it would rise in the west, cycling through in chaotic fashion.
Aren't "cycling" and "chaotic" mutually exclusive?
Even on Earth the Sun rises in an "ever-changing position" at an "ever-changing angle," but we don't call that chaotic.
You tell us. What was "unreasonable" and without "probable cause" about this case? Presumbly you have read all of the transcripts of interviews and all the depositions from the officers involved? Right?
The linked article doesn't even try to be a shining example of objectivity.

Yes, it is. It's been a fairly safe assumption with Linux Mint in my experience. I've had more issues with wireless drivers on Windows 7 (issues such as "not having any drivers") than I have with Linux Mint.
if they don't have the knowledge to install Linux themselves they sure as hell aren't going to have the knowledge to get any useful software working,
Connecting to a wireless network takes a few clicks and typing in the password, just as it does on Windows. Firefox is installed by default. It's not hard to find the icon and click on it. That's the job done for 95% of "installing Linux for a friend or relative" scenarios.
Never assume your data is safe unless it's on an off-line computer or device in your possession.
And then never look at it, ever, because someone might have implanted a tiny camera in your eye (don't assume they haven't!). In fact, better just delete all your data now and save yourself the trouble.
Uh, if Facebook is doing the encryption that means they have the unencrypted plaintext.
Uh, if my friend Bob is doing the encryption that means he has the unencrypted plaintext. Oh noes.
How does Facebook encrypting the message on the last leg of its journey to you prevent the NSA from intercepting the plaintext anywhere else along the chain, including having access to Facebook's servers?
Because that "last leg" involves leaving Facebook's private servers and traversing the internet to get to your ISP/mail provider, where plenty of people other than the NSA (who may or not have unfettered access to Facebook's servers) will be interested in the contents of your email (including your ISP/mail provider)
Might as well dismiss improved plane safety because it doesn't stop you getting in car crash on your way to the airport.
Encryption that isn't performed on your machine isn't useful encryption.
Yes it is.
Anyway, the most important thing about all this is that not the "OMG isn't my kitty cute?!" updates from your cousin will be encrypted*, but that encryption is becoming ever more normalised.
*actually, that is quite important, since they account for 99.9% of internet traffic and will keep the NSA busy
It's not all or nothing. You can have Windows download the updates but not install them until you give it the okay. Or you can have it just notify you. The little shield will appear in the notification area and won't go away until you've decided what to do about the updates it's offering you.
I've got Optimus (an NVS 4200M and Intel HD Graphics 3000) on a probably-not-quite-as-new-as-yours Dell which came with Windows 7 Pro, and I am apparently "good to go!" - "0 known issues found"
So instead, I get to wait while it does a System Restore Point (the majority of the time it takes), then do the install and Reboot (goodbye 30-45 minutes), or "suicide" my laptop by holding the power button, then, the next time I Startup, suffer the bitching and moaning about "Windows was not shut down properly", and then the "Windows needs to Restart" (which pops up when it pleases, and simply HAPPENS if you aren't there to DEFER it, then ANOTHER Reboot (which results in ANOTHER 1/2 hour of virus-scanning), right in the middle of the workday.
Or you could just change Windows Update settings so it doesn't do that any more, ever again.
But every "picture" suggests things rotate about them in an accretion disk. Which doesn't make sense if they were all pulled in from different directions
It makes perfect sense when material isn't uniformly present in all directions, as in the case when a black hole pulls matter from an orbiting star.
Then there's the rotation of the black hole. That might have an influence such that an accretion disk will form in the plane perpendicular to the axis even if matter is infalling uniformly from all directions (this is just a guess).
So again, we're looking at observational error. It doesn't fit with our theory.
It doesn't fit with your theory. I'm not sure exactly what your theory is, though.
Hey everyone, I just bought a bottle that I can attach to my bike so I can drink water while I'm riding my bike. What other drinkable liquids can I put in it?
Also I just bought some AAA batteries for my TV remote. What else can I put them in?

Do you have to be such a douche about it?
GNU MediaGoblin has released version 0.8.0 dubbed "A Gallery of Fine Creatures".
Of course. Heaven forbid anyone should be able to glean even the faintest of hint of what it does from the name or version codename.
Thanks to slaker for doing what the editors apparently could not (be arsed to do).
I could not get the windows 8 to play the DVD. I found no program that could do it. Media player certainly couldn't.
I downloaded VLC.
And then what happened? I need closure on this anecdote!
Yes, it is. It's been a fairly safe assumption with Linux Mint in my experience. I've had more issues with wireless drivers on Windows 7 (issues such as "not having any drivers") than I have with Linux Mint.
there are far worse things they could do. Black Friday at a Wal-mart? Sporting events, train stations..
Security lines at airports...
I just don't think the terrorists' hearts are really in it any more.

So how are you securely getting the email message to facebook to start with?
You're not. It's for encrypting communications from Facebook to you, not from other Facebookers.
Uh, if Facebook is doing the encryption that means they have the unencrypted plaintext.
Uh, if my friend Bob is doing the encryption that means he has the unencrypted plaintext. Oh noes.

Without even checking the link I know it's a mandatory XKCD.

Does a Black Hole Have a Shape?
Black holes do have a shape!
Done.
It's the other way around. long double is 80 bits long and most decidedly does fit into 16 bytes, which is does so presumably for alignment purposes.
Who says she wanted anonymity?
...that says there might be a way to do an infinite amount of computation in a finite time?
No, I don't remember the details. No, IANAP. But I'm sure it was a thing, once.
