I hope you wouldn't carry that statement as far as my elementary school did. In history class, they taught us that the pilgrims organized the first Thanksgiving in order to give thanks to the Indians.
I'd say wait on judging such a thing to be impossible until a well-established Grand Unified Theory comes together. Quantum mechanics could still be hiding plenty of "magic wands" that we don't know about yet. Interstellar travel certainly seems more plausible today than an atomic bomb must have seemed to Isaac Newton.

The appropriate means of accomodating mobile devices is the use of CSS @media handheld directive. Mobile users shouldn't have to go to a separate site.
In order to create an accurate simulation of the universe, the simulation would have to be as complex as the universe itself. That means it has to be able to store as much data as the universe is capable storing, ergo, the only possible simulation of the universe is the universe itself.
Commercial programmers should _always_ be in a rush. Time is money, and in software that becomes painstakingly clear. Good programmers are worth much more than you pay for them because they can write clean code quickly. High-level languages like Ruby are a godsend because you can get things done 10 times as quickly, meaning you can get them done 10 times as cheaply.
General rule: good code is self-documenting. Code which requires comments can probably be rewritten so that it doesn't. If it can't be, think about whether you're going about the problem properly to begin with.
Or else I and perhaps a few other people think slightly less of them as upstanding individuals. Apple is unlikely to come after them, but that doesn't make their actions any more right.
Apple may have blundered, but the terms of the sale were that users pay their license fees and in return they get a copy of Tiger on April 29. As silly as Apple's insistence may be that the accidentally shipped copies are returned, users have no contractual right to those copies and ought to comply with Apple's request.
You didn't sign any contract, so you aren't violating any contract. A few sites like UserFriendly make it a specific condition of use that you not block ads. Those should be respected. Otherwise, you're under no obligation to anything other than whatever you see fit.
I got a Mac last November after having been a Linux user for six years. I use it for some pretty hardcore development work. I still use the one-button mouse and I've never once had any inclination to switch.
Further investigation quickly established what it was that had happened. A meteorite had knocked a large hole in the ship. The ship had not previously detected this because the meteorite had neatly knocked out that part of the ship's processing equipment which was supposed to detect if the ship had been hit by a meteorite.
Ryan Donovan, a Hewlett-Packard Co. public relations director, concedes that terms like "data migration" and "optimizes agility" - both of which are found in the company's press materials - might confuse average readers. But the company uses those phrases in documents intended for technology experts and executives, he says.
To exactly which technology experts is he referring? Sure as hell not me.
There's actually a term for that. In cryptology, the reality of the weak point of any sufficiently good cryptosystem being the key owner's suceptibility to physical force is called "rubber hose cryptography".

The explanation of the Casimir effect is plagiarized from Wikipedia.

Somebody needs to study his lambda calculus.
Did they come up with any new non-reversible geometry while they were working on this?

I'm having trouble remembering the last time I wrote anything longhand.

The sooner the better.
I think you have your wish. These days it's the courts making most of the laws.

Shouldn't that fall under "died of natural causes"?

Cassini discovered some new ones a few months ago. They probably forgot to include those.
LMAO! It's posts like this that make me wish I had mod points. Might I wager you're a libertarian?

USENET usage isn't what it used to be. It wouldn't surprise me if 80% of USENETers were also slashdotters.
