Didn't Arthur C. Clarke also say that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic? Who is ever in the position to decide what technologies could and could not ever happen?
People who don't want to believe Obama is legitmate won't, no matter what evidence is presented. The stuff you say about his birth certificate is irrelevant, because the document he presented to the press during the campaign is a real, 100% authentic US birth certificate. He did not present "a type of card" as you say. He didn't present anything different from my own birth certificate. All the evidence is there if you want to see it, but the truth is you and the OP aren't interested in facts because the facts don't fit with what you want to be the truth.
In other words it's just like the good old days of the cold war. Only difference is M.A.D. via threat of economic annihilation instead of nuclear annihilation. How to disarm though, seems much trickier this time around.
China would be much better. We don't particularly like their leadership, but they are rational and they are not inclined to use their military aggressively.
Criticizing Ubuntu is fair enough since they intend to be a user friendly distro, but criticizing Fedora for switching to PA early is way off base. It says right in Fedora's objectives they aim to "Be on the leading edge of free and open source technology". If you want a stable and low maintenance system I think Fedora is not the distro for you.
Depends on the size of the black hole. For a large black hole you would make it past the event horizon before the gravitational gradient is strong enough to tear you apart.
Regardless, even if we were talking about code, it's very strange you would suggest all variables would only be one character. Variables in English could also get confusing if they were limited to single syllables, but no one would do that. The example code given here uses two characters for all its variable names. This isn't surprising since most Chinese words are two or more characters.
Scientists aren't really loathe to admit they could be wrong, but it rightly takes a lot of evidence to prove that our current models for something like gravity are wrong when all of the evidence to this point has supported the existing models.
Realistically everyone knows our understanding of gravity is incomplete since we need to use one model at quantum scales and another one at macroscopic scales, but until someone comes up with a better theory that works everywhere we are stuck with what we got.
We know we can observe the Earth, and that's all that matters. Whether the world we observe is physical, simulated, or imagined is irrelevant, as long as it has consistent rules for us to discover.
It's true that the students don't need to know about abiogenesis, but it's also true that students will inevitably ask about it. There should be a short section on it, no less and no more.
The article says that the Compact Muon Solenoid as part of the LHC has the potential to revolutionize physics, it did not say that the bug fix was a revolution.
Solar power? Bio-fuels? Petroleum? We have energy from fusion to thank for the vast majority of the energy we use. It has been sustainably making life possible for millions of years.

Oh, he gave a small portion of the money he reaped from war profiteering to charity. That makes everything ok I guess.
Right, cause we all know Cheney just sat around all day waiting for Bush to croak.

Well, the previous administration wanted us to believe Iraq had nuclear weapons when they invaded. Does that count?

We were talking about comments, not code.

Not by any thinking people.
Why would Chinese be any more problematic for comments than any other non-latin character set?
There's Chinese Python (sytax translation), but I don't know if that's actually used in production anywhere. The guy who made it did it just for fun.
Because they have in the past. It certainly seems premature to assume they will change if they haven't yet.

Google labs has that covered too. They try to detect if you mention any attachments in the mail but don't have anything attached.
Sounds good to me. My cats always happy and she hasn't had to work a day in her life.

Probably cause here in CA none of the schools have the money to purchase books.

I believe finding and removing bugs from their offspring's fur has been a longstanding job for mothers.
Yeah, no more research until we understand everything. Good idea.
Maybe they were talking about nuclear power plants.
