Goedel's theorem simply states that you cannot prove a system in itself, for any sufficiently interesting system.. not repeating the definition of/that/ one here. In any case, this kernel qualifies.
But that doesn't at all prevent you from proving it in a higher-level system, such as the theorem prover they used. Um, though it would cause trouble if you want to prove the/prover/ correct...
If I'm connecting some storage device, chances are I intend to read it. If I don't, unmounting it again takes less time than mounting it would, overall.
It would also be an important point that we just believe the equations to be the same.
If "hawking radiation" shows up in this experiment, that does in no way prove it would for black holes. Or the other way around. Or in the details, for that matter.
No, the casimir cavity has less energy than a vacuum. Negative, as it were.
That is not to say that photons would move faster in a casimir cavity. I have no idea whether they would, but it would be easy to calculate - does the permeability of the vacuum differ from that of a casimir cavity?
What do you think they're going to do, block the entire airways between the buildings with cellphones? Most of the radiation is going to miss the phones *and* the buildings.
Not reporting a crime when you know about it is [i]also[/i] a criminal offense. That means your friend is now a criminal, as are you. You're legally required to report it [i]yourself[/i]; you should try convincing your friend to do the same, but don't wait a minute to report it.
This isn't some small crime. This is a crime where lives have already been destroyed, and if the government find out you knew about it and did nothing, they're both legally and [b]ethically[/b] justified in prosecuting you.
It's very hard to measure the speed of gravity (it interacts too weakly), but the current best measurements have a 95% confidence range of from just below the speed of light to about an order of magnitude above, IIRC.. that's probably what you were reading.
This does not mean gravity in fact moves faster than light, it just means the measurements are inaccurate. Most likely it'll turn out to travel at or below the speed of light.
We've got several centuries' worth (at current usage levels) of uranium in our "waste storage sites", if only they'd construct breeder reactors to burn it.
Not to mention, there's effectively infinite uranium dissolved in the oceans. Separating it out would be costly, but not to the point of adding significantly to the cost of running a breeder reactor.
It does. It may be hard to/transmit/ fractional bits, but they still/exist/, and such a measurement would be quite reasonable for describing eg. a really slow compression algorithm.
Sure, you could pay less to the developers, but then you'd get worse developers. Game development is already a sort of ghetto; most programmers worth their salt wouldn't touch it with an eleven-foot pole, and that would just make it worse.
While that is definitely true, and an important caveat, the fact that there is a connection at all between electromagnetism and gravity was somewhat unexpected - physicists did expect to eventually unify the theories, but probably not in a way where one affects the other like this. Don't underestimate the importance of this discovery.
Plus, there may be corresponding interactions between, I don't know, petahertz-level magnetic or electric waves (not plain old photons, mind) that have larger, more useful effects on gravity. Maybe. At any rate, the possibility is open now; we're allowed to hope.
Virtualization only works when you're on the same hardware as the virtualized environment, or approximately the same. You can't virtualize an x86 OS on PPC hardware; that's emulation, and it's dog-slow, buggy, or both.

Something is rotten, and git noticed it. There is file corruption.
I've seen that message exactly once myself, and the disk I saw it on died a week afterwards. You might want to consider replacing it.

As a power user/dev, I want automount.

Autorun, now. That's evil.
It'll attempt to induce electric currents in them.. ...yes, in practice, they'll heat up. Eventually, all that electricity turns into heat.

Child porn is, obviously a criminal offense.

Love destroys it, the promise of pleasure or pain can improve it.
Hang on, didn't they have replicas? Fault-tolerance?
I'd expect a system that important to survive the temporary loss of any single computer
That's incorrect.

That mission wasn't manned
Amusing. :P
But in all seriousness, it's a positional number system.
They would have simply *gasp* added a digit.
Of course messing with them/stealing from them would be a felony.
You'd own the mailbox, and the contents; stealing is already a crime.

"To me, (2) makes most sense." -- Fixed that.

Unless you follow the many-worlds interpretation, which is.. er, I'd call it blindingly obvious at this point. It makes things ever so much simpler.
Make that a quadratic increase. Kinetic energy = mass times velocity squared.
Spinal fluids? Really?
I heard it was due to scarring, which would make the new anti-scarring medications useful (as if they weren't great enough already), but it's not?

Also, why isn't there a "-1, wrong" moderation?
I could imagine some terribly clever things like, oh, the GHC compiler using code constructs that this forbids.
But I don't actually know whether it does. And if it does, it would be pretty easy to extend the instruction set to allow whatever it needs safely.
Mailing it is the simplest solution. If it works, why make things more complex?
