You can easily have a little more or less salt, sugar or flour in your food. However, software is not so forgiving. Change one character and you screw up badly. Lets face it, software is hard to write and it is even harder to write good software.
Although re-use is a good thing and scripting many common problems instead of coding in [insert low-level language] is also good. But this should be common sense for any/good/ programmer. Good tools make bad programmers look slightly less bad, but fuck up anyway. Good tools make good programmers gurus.
In summary, the present experiment is the first direct precision test of whether the decay rate of a radioactive source depends on its shape. Our results in Table 1 indicate a 2.3 deviation of the foil/sphere ratio in experiment 1 from unity. From Table 2, based on the initial 30 spectra, the foil/sphere ratio for experiment 2 deviates from unity by 2.6. These results thus leave open the possibility that the half-life of a radioactive nuclide could in fact depend on its shape (due to the internal flux of neutrinos, photons, or electrons), and hence suggests that additional experiments are necessary.
So, there still is a chance that there is a deviation.
Ehm, you mean: One Oracle to rule them all, One Oracle to find them, One Oracle to bring them all and with its gravity bind them In the Oracular System where the asteroids fly.
And you also get upset when theists call you asshats, am I right? (Do you never wonder why?)
Actually, no, I do not get called an ass very often. And for those instances it does occur, I generally do not feel offended, but rather confirmed in my world view. For what it matters, I really do not care about your belief, and I sure as hell will express my views about it.
Honestly, I think the arguments for the existence of God are more compelling than the opposite, but doing your dickwad atheist bit isn't a good counterargument.
Well, forwarding an argument without presenting the arguments is kinda weak. In my opinion, you would rather have 2 plus 2 being 5 for any large values of 2, regardless of the obvious futility of doing so blinding your eyes.
Dawkins has made being-an-asshole-to-theists his raison d'etre, but it neither makes him right, nor even sound particularly smart. His arguments are laughably bad when he strays outside the area he knows (evolutionary biology) and into a region he knows nothing about (theology). To be fair, though - he's still not as stupid as the Westborough fuckers.
Beware of the spaghetti monster. It is coming to get us all real soon now. Repent while you still can and get some tomato sauce with that if you please.
And streaming replication. It makes it a lot easier to have a backup server that is up to date. It makes me happy so I can do partial restores without a lot of fuss. Now, if only the enterprise apps could find out to reconnect to the database and continue where they left off without crashing and trashing.
I think the people of the world including the leaders would think twice if they (that is, all leaders and followers) had to do this old-style with rocks and clubs. The readiness to kill is somewhat lower if you have to be involved face-to-face. It is highly problematic if you can kill as if it were a computer game. There is no better prevention than to have your own life on the edge. Yes, I do know there are people willing to do anything regardless the consequence, but I think there would be a net benefit for all if you had to kill face-on.

But then, who will be next in line with a big pocket to pay for data and ask the gov for policing some communication. Remember Phorm? Do we/want/ a society where your communication is eavesdropped? That is a trademark of oppressive regimes. It really does not matter whether the ISP is the middleman. No data should be intercepted unless a court-order is provided.
Hello, I am your robotic overlord and tour guide for the day. Please keep your hands off and eyes on the exhibits. My camera system sees all and sensor array hears all. Please also note that I am equipped with multiple dead-man switches, for your convenience, and may explode at any time.
But it still costs a fortune to get it challenged. That is the real problem. It is an armsrace and the one with the biggest pocket wins. I wonder when this cold war bubble will burst.
Well, back to snail mail then. AC proof using gloves and cleanroom techniques. Unless all mailboxes come with mandatory cameras these days. But then again, just ask the neighbour to put the envelope in.
X-rays, hmm, so being in crowded places does increase the exposure to harmful radiation. I always knew that one should avoid crowds and now it is confirmed. That also means that, given enough people, one can demonstrate an attack using photonic means.
[tinfoilhat_hat]Makes me wonder when an overzealous politician picks it up and limits demonstrations to few people to lower exposure to radiation.[/tinfoilhat_hat]
Well, you put it in jail? The new land across the pond has outsourced many of the jails already, why not converting the company into a new jail? As a cellular operator, they already put their customers in a contractual jail. Shouldn't be too hard to declare the company a legal jail by itself.

It can get worse or better, depending on you view...
Step 1: Ban all cargo/luggage
Step 2: Forced clothing; wanna fly? here is your prison suit.
Step 3: Ban all people from flying
Step 4: Climate wins!

A convergence in the time-space continuum has resulted in clogged internet pipes. The pipes should be bigger on the inside than the outside.

No, no, we do not think all of you are fundamentalists, However, we do think you are all delusional.

Unfortunately, sanity is not the most common attribute for rule-makers. It is all about perceived risk, not actual risk.
I'll take 10 tickets, please. With FTL transit, grav-shielding and a couple of window seats. Thank you.
I think that you are off by a magnitude: 64*10^6mm/(pi*10^7)s ~ 2.03 mm/s
more accurately: 64*10^6/(365.25*3600*24) ~ 2.028 mm/s

So, you are willing to give them investigatory powers. Time to make encryption mandatory then.
