One symmetry that has so far avoided any signs of breaking is the so-called CPT symmetry, which equates matter and antimatter at a fundamental level.
With this data analysis technique, they determined the antiproton’s magnetic moment to be pN=2.792845(12), which has equal magnitude, within experimental uncertainty, to the NIST CODATA recommended value for the proton magnetic moment of pN=2.792847356(23). Thus the magnitude of the antiproton and proton magnetic moments differ by less than 5 parts per million, in agreement with the CPT theorem.
If CPT violation did occur it would forever alter our understanding of the universe—or lack thereof! History has taught us that experiments such as this one play an important role in shoring up, or changing, the foundations of physics. So for now, the debate will go on.
At least this is the first question that would need answering in my mind if we are to get closer to understanding "how stuff moves and how gravity affects said aforementioned stuff".
If there's anything the Queen mum should do with that scepter is to immediately un-knight Jony Ive for the abortive iOS7 GUI we all have to deal with now.
The reverse has been done for quite some time. A CNC routing machine works by trimming material from a block to get the desired shape.
This is pretty standard.
I have seen a video from a rebuild of a WWII jet that did use a printed part or two. These were created overnight by a fabrication machine (I think it was at Lockheed) and were used in a nonfunctional component since the jet was rebuilt just to see what the original may have looked like.
If we look at the two processes, material removal and material deposition, it is much easier to machine a block of metal that has a known rating of its qualities, than it is to create a functional component through printing technologies, vapor deposition, et al., and be able to fine tune the qualities of the resulting material.
In any case, we certainly are at the dawn of a very interesting age of manufacturing with both the subtractive and additive processes at the disposal of industry.
We're not getting any younger and cramming more pixels into a smaller screen is useless unless we all wear magnifying glasses.
We've already reached the point of diminishing returns.
I personally will not buy another Macintosh laptop since they no longer make the 17" at 1920 x 1200. Cramming more pixels into a smaller 15" laptop screen is a painful and unpleasant viewing and interaction experience.
But the BS here is that you have to hunt and look for where to do it.
There are so many "improvements" in the Mac OS that I simply want to GO AWAY. In many cases, you can't turn them off. Opening a folder in List View in the Finder by pressing the right arrow? It used to display instantly. Now, it cascades the content down in an animation that you can't turn off.
Just show me my fucking data as fast as you can, dammit! Stop stop stop animating EVERYTHING. Apple, if you INSIST on animating everything, at least let me TURN IT OFF or set the time to animate to NONE.

Yes, it sucks. Yes, you can set the scrollbars to "Always Display" in the System Prefs. No, you can not get scroll bars back where the scroll thumb actually is the width of the actual area you can click on to click and drag. I fucking hate that.

So am I. There are so many annoying "animate everything" additions to the UI that you simply can not turn off. "Natural scrolling" isn't natural at all.
Look, an iOS device and a Mac are not and should not be the same thing. User interface metaphors must be different for these devices. We have different screen sizes, amounts of RAM, storage speed and size, speed of network connections and basic interaction methods.
The two devices IN NO FUCKING WAY should be merged into one.
This is a massive disservice to the users. Utterly massive.

I fucking HATE autohide scrollbars. I want to know what can scroll without having to interact with the system to know it.

Good luck.
This happens in Switzerland when mountain lakes held back by ice give way. A whole massive amount of water occasionally washes entire towns away.
Allegedly, this is how the Dakota Badlands were formed.
I call Richard Stallman's lack of bathing on a regular basis a terrible setback.

2880x1800 is useless on a 15" machine.
Put that resolution in a 17" and you'll have my sale.
Otherwise, it's just eyestrain.

I would be livid if any vendor "upgraded" my OS without my explicit permission.
May they burn in hell for updating my operating system without my permission!
Mother fuckers.
iOS 7 is graphically hideous and if they force my device to update to 7, I will be fucking bullshit.
The word is curved.
That red blood calls generally don't have DNA.
Bummer, huh?
No. Because that's not what it says.
It doesn't say, "free as in free beer". It says, "free as in beer".
Any non moron who gets beer usually pays for it.
The default state is that you pay for beer.
You are wrong.
And it's wrong. It's meaningless and it's misleading.
Go to a store and ask for free beer.
Good luck.
Agreed. This term needs to die and stop being used. All the beer I know I have had to pay for.
The term means the opposite of what it was created for.
It's terrible. It's stupid. It contradicts itself. It needs to be removed from use.
All the beer I personally know I had to pay for.
This term, "free as in beer", needs to die in a fire.
It means the opposite of what it is supposed to mean.
Almost so crazy that it might just work!

Same here. I run every new version of the Mac OS in VMware and boot from 10.6.8 which sucks so much less than the new OSes.
Why? Tummy hurt?
