And yet we never observed that kind of matter before?
Probably (at least this has been the case with a lot of accelerator discoveries, AFAIK) because you need phenomenal amounts of energy to produce these particles/states of matter, and while such energies might exist all over the universe, none of them are close enough to us (thankfully) that we'd be able to observe the (and this is the second reason) ridiculous short lives of these unstable particles/states.
Muons created in the upper atmosphere by cosmic rays, for instance, only get as far as the surface where we can detect them because of time dilation.
It's a situational irony because DRM is a tool to deter privacy, but it was the DRM version that was cracked and released by pirates, rather than the entirely DRM-free version offered by GoG. Irony!
Wasn't "brown noise" also - possibly apocryphally - a certain very low, very loud tone which could, how shall I put it, upset the stomachs of anyone nearby?
If one source tree is used for both 32bit and 64 bit systems, there will be the endless if-statements that I mentioned above any place where pointers are defined (and in some cases, used).
Uh, really? Maybe I've got this wrong, but some any code I've written works just fine with all its myriad pointers when compiled in either 32bit or 64bit.
In fact, yes, hold on:
printf("%d",sizeof(int*));
returns 4 on 32bit and 8 on 64bit.
The only things I had to change in my code where some places where I'd used int as pointer offsets - I swapped those for size_t and everything was done.
As I understand, to generate that cloak you need to create/modify underwater layers by changing salinity or temperature or direction.
You misunderstand:
He found that by placing a corrugated or wavy pattern tuned to particular wavelength on the seabed it would cause surface waves to temporarily become internal waves.
The two layers of water are a natural phenomenon which allow the waves to be transferred underwater.
Do you know how much energy it takes to pull a several miles drill string out of the ground when comes the time to change the drill bit?
No, do you?
Now, do you know how much energy it takes to drive and the size of the pumps that push drilll fluid inside the drill string ?
No, do you?
In order of magnitude, cost efficiently speaking, I think it would be feasible.
Based on what numbers, or is this just a hunch?
All of this may be moot anyway, since I don't see anything in the article about energy having to be expended, except in the initial construction of seabed shapes.

How can you tell it's a link (and what do you mean by "link" - shortcut? URL file?) and not a Word file? The filename of whatever he clicks on (which admittedly doesn't look like any Word.doc icon I've seen, but I don't see very many) does seem to match the filename showing in the titlebar of the opened Word window.
Not that I don't believe this guy really is clueless.

Does anyone even know?
Nope. But you can keep an eye on things here!

Oh, is that where the GP got that from? I had no idea.

[If] you are selling your e-books at a loss... More likely a marketing ploy.
So isn't it a loss leader in that sense? Just one with a few more (and more speculative) steps?
[Is] that capitalism?
People paying more for something that it is intrinsically worth? Yes, but in this case it's (possibly) also a loss leader.
You wouldn't be very good in marketing.
That's a compliment.
What about the other "C" - coincidence?

The most that can really be said is the 600 euro fine (and the non-disclosure agreement) is absurd for what the alleged crime is.
You're right. Compared to what the RIAA and MPAA have been chasing in US courts, this is bordering on downright reasonable.

I don't get it. Is "bipolar pattern" a thing? Do boobs have poles?
That's your opinion and you're welcome to it. Still wrong though.
They've been planning this for years. Wheelchair access is a Dalek conspiracy.
So there is a non-existing island on the map, happens.
Much?
I'll be surprised if Google doesn't announce their street view cams have been adapted and installed on board ships.
That's nothing. They've already gone underwater.
If you look closely sometimes you see the little icon that designates a shortcut.
Oh, I see what you mean now - I think you've mistaken the optional Windows item selection checkbox for a shortcut indicator.

But yes, you're right, that video is proof of nothing.
Is he demonstrating the ... Slashdot bug that turns text into clickable links?
Proof-reader sick today?
First day back on Slashdot after several years away?
and then he opens a link, not a word file

Maybe if your snappy retorts are funny enough, someone will finally love you.
In other news, I'm not allowed to cut people open and tinker with their insides, but apparently surgeons are!
It's political correctness gone mad.
Hardly. This is much more insidious.
