So shut the fuck up and let the real scientists that get paid to do this stuff figure it out. All of you lack the requisite experience, experimental data, and resources to do otherwise.
But once you know 'it can't be done', to use a phrase from quantum entanglement itself, you will immediately know the grant money 'dried up'.
But if you have an entangled quantum system -- say, two photons, one with spin +1 and one with spin -1 -- you could know the spin of the distant one instantly by measuring the spin of the one in your possession.
From what I have read, there is nothing magical about quantum entanglement.
Instead of photons lets use a coin. You take a coin and split it in half such that one half has the heads and the other tails. Now place each half into a separate sealed box. While doing this DO NOT LOOK AT THE COIN HALVES as this is where quantum entanglement claims to be magical and influential. Now send those boxes out to two locations anywhere in the universe. Now open one box, see what is contains and you will know immediately what the other box contains.
Here's where things go off the rails with articles like this. No on has ever claimed they could influence or change the value of one side of the coin such as to change the other half at it's distant location. I would argue the values in quantum entanglement are already set the moment the photons are split apart, and like the coin, they can not be changed by looking at them.
The theories are different (?), but this reminds me of seeing a light mill for the first time and immediately thinking a light engine should be possible one day.
Haha I see a 'Snappy Store', I get the impression this is Ubuntu's attempt at a play store similar to android and other smart phone ecosystems. Developers can 'sell' their apps to Ubuntu users.
I have an android tablet, and the 'free' apps are usually littered with ads or constant nags to 'buy additional content features'. No thanks Ubuntu.
Get yourself an audiobook and start learning Spanish. There are plenty of people in the US to practice with. Not being able to speak Spanish is almost pathetic.
Get yourself an audiobook and start learning English. There are plenty of people in the US to practice with. Not being able to speek the primary language of a region, and planning to live in it, is pathetic.
>"You put your card in the cash machine but nothing comes out. The bank's IT systems have crashed again. But you need money fast, so what do you do?"
You wait until it is back up in a few hours or try tomorrow because you are not stupid enough to run COMPLETELY out of cash before going to get more. It is called "responsibility".
Replace 'cash machine' with 'gas pump' in this scenario and things look a little more bleak to that individual. Many people simply don't carry cash anymore. They also don't get to learn the value of a dollar since all they ever see are numbers on a screen. But that doesn't really matter to them since they already have that big student loan debt that follows them for life.
It was not subsidized. It's a prepaid from T-Mobile.
The model is a (microsoft) nokia 435, it's a a windows phone but since I only really use it for phone calls it works perfectly for that. I do however miss my previous phone's 17 day battery life on one charge.
My real 'budget friendly' smartphone was $40 out the door, and that was replacing a 5 year old $30 flip phone I really hated to part with. Since it is used only for making phone calls, I guess I'm a member of the populace that just doesn't get it.
Clearly not enough members are using the Firehose to rate submissions. The link is right up there at the top of the page.
Or perhaps they are, and this site is just shifting away from the originally intended audience.:(
A daring experiment would be to allow submission rating on the front page alongside the topic, just like the firehose. At least there would probably be more votes.
Recycled paper is already used to make cellulose insulation, and has been for many years. By necessity it is full of flame retardants. It is nothing new.
The actual article only mentions insulation in passing, in the picture it looks more like a standard foam product. Nothing like cellulose insulation. They hope to initially use it for cleaning up oil spills.
Click the options down there beside the preview/quote parent buttons and be sure it is set to html, that monospace font makes is look like you are set to "code" which will ignore all hypertext.
If using doom legacy just open a console with tilde (~) and enter "map e1dm8b.wad". The level file should be placed wherever the main doom.wad is located. At least it worked for me.
It seems there is always that programmer that decides "I'm going to refactor this bit of code here to make it smaller, faster and cleaner". The actual result is things break (often not immediately) and it winds up taking up even more of said developers time as well as others that use or rely on that code.
If someone says "I'm going to refactor this bit of code here to make it smaller, faster and cleaner", and they can not give a very good reason to the question "why?", don't let them do it.
What makes you think that every user wants to change things like color or font? I don't think most users want has any need to do that. There is a universal access pane in the settings app where users can enable larger fonts and higher contrast for accessibility reasons.
This thinking is gnome in a nutshell. It's why I stopped using it, and it's why I stopped bothering to develop anything with GTK.

The link doesn't mention 'Fido' at all, it's only confusingly in the summary. FYI there is also the good old FidoNet.
At least per wikipedia, US train engineers must renew certification every few years. So even they must be certified to obtain title of 'engineer'.
