"Eventually"? I imagine that the entire problem space will be mapped, and the draw for black or white will decide the result. That's when we'll have to add the 3rd dimension, and ask the Vulcans if they fancy a game.
Which highlights a problem: when too many players enter a single system, Bad Things Happen. AFAIK, Eve has no way of mitigating this - the server just grinds to a halt, leading to slideshow combats, and/or locks players out of that system. Tough luck if your Titan is the last guy to try to jump in.
I'm not blaming them, since I don't have a better solution. What I would say though is that you should calculate your worst case scenario (memory, CPU, bandwidth), and either design around it, or be prepared to choke on it. Scaling for median or modal cases is good enough most of the time, but when a lot of players screw that assumption by deciding to do the same thing, you end up inflicting pain on a lot of players at once.
Mmm. If they're anything like archeologists using radio carbon dating, then the trick is to just keep sending the sample back to the lab until you get the results that you wanted, or you run out of funding. Just so you know.
Their ultimate goal is to stay in power indefinitely by populist rabble rousing, and supping on the funding that follows. In a system where 90%+ of standing incumbents get re-elected, the Constitution is the only thing that holds back the tyranny of the mob.
Lessig is probably the most knowledgeable person on the planet when it comes to US law on fair use.
In theory, perhaps - although I doubt it. In practice, he has the savant tendency to disregard that the law is implemented by humans, and the one thing that humans can't stand is a wise ass.
Is about as close as he's come. And yet even after saying that... somehow he didn't change careers.
As a law professor, I had spent my life teaching my students that [the Supreme Court] does the right thing, not because of politics but because it is right. [Lawrence Lessig]
Well, thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster for tenure, eh?
Tweaking aside, Lessig's experience is like that of a virgin with a giant porn collection. So I can see why he gets a lot of sympathy around here. Tweaking aside.
The post up yonder makes the point that the risks for some cyclists on some routes may outweigh the health benefits. Hillman provides no evidence to refute that. I do accept that those cyclists that don't get killed live longer.
Also, I'd lay good money that attempting to opt out of Phorm will get you put on a Watch List. I mean, if you don't intend to do anything wrong, what have you got to hide?
Hillman's study compared "all cyclists" vs "all non cyclists", which is equally useless at predicting the benefits of cycling 2 miles a week in a rural idyll, and the risks of kerb hopping and light jumping 30 miles a day through urban and suburban rage-cagers.
But if we're talking "all risks", would you be surprised to learn that the Killed/Serious Injury rate for cyclists in the UK per mile is only half that for motorcyclists? i.e. it's still 10 times the risk that a cager goes through. Hillman's study is biased by the problem that the UK is simply not cyclist friendly (either in roads or weather), and cycling is not a common method of commuting in most areas.
From personal experience, the solution to being a fat lazy bastard is not to whine that you can't exercise due to being a fat lazy bastard. Waddle another few feet every day, lardo.
Bear in mind that the people who write the laws are the winners of elections. You can see how they might be disinclined to change a system that demonstrably favours them.
Please allow me to make a mashup from both of your replies:
you only have to spread your mills over an area that's much larger. [...pause to skip your meds...] windpower [is] MUCH easier to produce locally, and on a smaller scale.
Look, I like a conspiracy theory as much as the next AFDB aficionado, but you're really going to have to come up with a better solution to the baseload and transmission problems than "The Man is stopping it! The Man!""
the only problem is, that [wind is] not available all the time, or so they want us to believe.
I used to wonder if environmentalists were crazy conspiracy theorist whackjobs, but you've gone ahead and removed all of the uncertainty from that question.

Pray tell, which national laws were used to suppress the printing press?

Cory is projecting the ethics of his readers onto the rest of the piratsphere. It's a charming notion, but not very useful in the real world.

Commerce Clause. Thanks for making the argument that more education is needed.

Cultist. Also, illiterate.
So, everyone except you think's you're a moron? Can you see a pattern emerging?
You don't like it? Quit.
Sharks are pretty cool too, right up to the point where they start chewing on your leg. I guess it takes distance to gain perspective.

Obviously if you're "sophisticated" you need to get extra time for the crimes that you were smart enough to get away with.

The "France French"? Y'all a-sayin' all Franchies speak alike? Dawg, that's jive.
BREAKING: rain falls, wind blows, sun rises, Star Wars sucks now. Natural processes are not really news.
If they penalties aren't severe enough, perhaps you could run for election and get them upgraded?

To be fair, it's hardly a "secret" society. We know exactly who the Barons are, and which fraternities they were in.
Start a competing ISP, and tell all the customers of your old employer that they're being secretly throttled.
