if nothing knows where bar.foo.com is, you have to ask a dns server, and it may propagate, asking stupid questions up the tree until it's asking the.com TLD where it should be
the only drawback to the/-only scheme is that you don't know what's a node and what's a file (or directory, which is just a file anyway) so you have to pass the whole remaining portion to the server
you ask your local DNS if it knows where net/foo/bar/bazz/bletch is, and it has to pass that whole string, instead of just the fqdn string bar.foo.net
but that would have put some of the onus for efficiency on URL designers, and we wouldn't have the enormously ugly abuse of URLs that we have now (gigantic database tag fields, passing of what are essentially control programs as URLs, etc), and we might have a better sessioning architecture because of it
get rid of the dot notation entirely if you're not going to admit you just used the domain naming system that pre-existed the web
if the server name isn't going to be the name of a server, then you can do this:
http://uk/org/bcs/members
and now everything is a hierarchical pathname that is resolved to a fqdn internally and nobody needs to worry that bcs.org.uk is a node on the network and members is a service on that node...

it's not possible to deduce that the earth is a sphere from the statement "the Sun is always vertical to a particular spot on Earth"
the statement is, in fact, not true
the sun is vertical to a particular spot only at a particular time each day
not only that, but it is not possible to determine that statement to be true, unless you've invented a means of communicating across long distances instantaneously, to determine that it is vertical at one spot and not at another; or a clock capable of keeping time precisely enough to determine the shift in "noon" over a long, slow, rough jourey; and we know they didn't have those
so they didn't deduce that the world is round; they guessed, and used circular logic to presume a proof of their guess
The courts "define" everything. The law defines nothing. If the court wants to decide that up means down in a particular interpretation, it can. Which is why the higher courts exist. But in the case of some issues, the definition never gets solidified and reversals of interpretation of intent happen all the time.
Keep your eye on "abortion". It's up in the air again.
2. Only if it can get one set of legs to rotate under its body while the others stick out; because it's clearly too top-heavy to do any sort of a momentum-based roll
3. Sure it could stand without constant motion. It's a quadruped. Bipeds can fall over when stopped, if they don't use active balance, but quadrupeds should not.
4. I think the twee cowboy boots on the last dude who kicks it pretty much answer this question. Although, who could relax with all that noise? I was getting nauseous from it.
A "slope of 35", mathematically, would fit into the formula y = 35x + C, which of course is greater than 1 in 2, but I highly doubt that this robot is climbing 88-degree hills.

the engine doesn't "cost" a million bucks
these things should be pretty cheap to build
it may have cost a million bucks to develop it, but replacing it should be wicked cheap
now...building the booster rocket and launching the whole mess...that's an expensive proposition
a million wrong articles is no accomplishment
and the awards prove that the wall of disinformation is a huge canard
luke skywalker grows up bored
he wants nothing more than to get off the farm and fly
he's had no adventure
what the hell will the series be about?
all the stuff that doesn't happen to him?
all the adventure that he just misses when he turns a corner?
wikis are a disaster
truth is subsumed under overlayed falsehood; politics determines content; honest contribution is discouraged
there is a better way
isn't this the same government that is trying to argue that having to get warrants for wiretaps tips our interest in a suspect?
so what then is posting iraqi documents for every iraqi terrorist to read before anyone can translate them going to do?
i say we get rid of everyone running this debacle and start over.
If you want Gizmodo, you know where to find it.

when i went looking for Kebeira i found another crater about a quarter its size just a few miles to its west within a few minutes
i am surprised that many of these are unknown
one thing's going to surprise me more: if Hollywood doesn't wise up and start filming in that part of the Sahara when doing outer-space movies

So few people seem to understand that this is part of the web's mission.
The Web doesn't have a mission.
The Web is an inanimate object.
You may have a mission, and you may use the Web to accomplish it, but don't impute your luxurious frivolities to anyone else.
It will dissapoint everyone.
When they find out it was all lies, will they stay our friends?
The IOC is people. If they don't figure out what's right, they need to be replaced.
Yes and yes. Both the Malaysian and Vatican governments are immoral.
yes you should
separation of church and state is moral
