It seems to me that 3% overhead imposed on most of the retail economy is hugely inefficient. Why aren't payment vendors undercutting each-other on these fees?
And now I know that migrating to Windows 7 would have been pointless anyway. (Plus I saved the direct expense and the 2 - 3 days lost productivity looking up how to undo the user interface damage.)
It would have been nice if they had explained what "pop-up" was supposed to mean in this context, and how (or whether) it was different from any other fixed route service. It sounds like the only difference is that it was less crowded than the subway (presumably because it cost three times as much).
The idea is not that things *cross* space at greater than the speed of light, but that space expands so that the distance increases faster than the speed of light.
(Admittedly I've never heard a good explanation why that would make any sense without bringing back the luminiferous aether or a universal stationary frame of reference.)
Three-year-olds are nasty selfish creatures because over evolutionary timescales, most of them did not survive to adulthood without being selfish. It's not lack of socialized learning, it's a simple reflection of desperation.
It's not either-or. The mentally ill have *impaired* decision-making faculties. Their illness is not putting a gun to their head, just making decision-making harder than average.

They don't actually mean that the system is too complex to obey the law.
They merely mean that it is too complex for "journalists" to tell whether they are obeying the law or not.

Because oligarchies like inefficiencies.
You seem not to have spent much time in the modern world. Women are the ones who do the telling. Or maybe they're too subtle for you.
Dying out is an essential part of evolution.
Should we tell them that the Turing test was a thought experiment and never meant as an actual objective test that would prove anything?
An interesting study, but nothing about the rankings has anything to do with measuring being 'influential'.
Two to three days to *fix* the differences between XP and Windows 7.

Yes. Interrogative word movement is very common in English. As in practically every non yes-no question.

At the speed of light, time dilation means that you experience zero elapsed time, not the 2.5 million years everyone else observes.
Both are forms of energy density.
Is this really a surprise to anyone?
A surprising number of Americans believe their own propaganda.
It's not racist given how you people...
It's been a while since anything on Slashdot made me literally laugh out loud.

I think you've found the real use case.
In other words, avoid the problems of a von Neumann machine by making something other than a von Neumann machine.
What could go wrong?
Just like Earth.
I don't know of any nerds, geeks, women, or even misogynists who actually fit the stereotypes being thrown around here.
You are woefully uninformed about the prevalence of cat videos and cat pictures.
Empathy is understanding the feelings of another.
Whether that understanding is used to exploit the other person's situation is a separate question.
You might be thinking of sympathy.
