There is ample observational evidence of dark matter in the form of its gravitational effects. We just don't know what it is. It could be 'ordinary' baryonic matter or something entirely new. It isn't a matter of faith. Pun intended.
Fair enough points and you could be correct, but I'm sorry if I do not trust your employer. I'm not really sorry per se but you know what I mean. Google makes it's money from ads. CM allows users to circumvent that. It's pretty simple math to me.
Sorry, kid. Contact wasn't published (I read the book, didn't see the movie) until I was graduating High School. I knew what Occam's Razor was long before that.
I voted against every County Council member who voted Yes, so yes I did vote no on both counts. I'm a huge Steelers fan but the Rooneys could afford to build their own damn stadium.
Bullshit. Here in Pittsburgh they held a referendum on the new stadium back when it was proposed. The people voted NO. So the politicos did what they called 'Plan B' and used funds from a recently raised (only in Allegheny County, mind you) sales tax to build it, by fiat.
Oh I could not agree more. For me those specs would not work. The same goes for 'minimum' vs. 'recommended' specs on games. Sometimes, though, people on/, forget we are a very small minority of users.
The reason the specs have not changed is because CPUs and systems in general have been capable of doing most common tasks for at least 10 years. Are the use cases for extreme power? Yes. The submitter, however, makes it sound like it's a bad thing to be able to run on a wide range of hardware, including older slower machines. Are the minimum spec machines going to be able to run Crysis? Nope. Will they run Outlook, Work, and a browser? Yep. This is a non-story.
While it could happen (technically almost anything can happen in an infinite universe), it is far more likely that the Swedish Women's Volleyball team will burst into your room in the next five seconds and give you death by snu-snu.
It's called 'Ask Slashdot' for a reason. What better group of people to ask than a group of geeks with diverse backgrounds? It's attitudes like yours that keep people from asking for help when they need it.
If you would bother to read before shooting off your mouth you'd see that there are plenty of potential applications. It's not just being done for the 'cool' factor.
I think the wording is just off. The 'basal Europeans' are most likely descendants of the Cro Magnon with a sprinkling of Neaderthal. The original stock most likely was from an earlier migration out of Africa.
As much as I detest the man, Harry Reid has nothing to do with the State Legislature, other than perhaps some back channel clout with certain lawmakers. This is a State thing, not a Federal thing.

There are price fixing laws for a reason. Apple IS guilty. No matter how hard you and the other cult worshipers try to spin it as apple is the victim.
This. The GP post is spoken like a true fanboi. Apple can do no wrong in their eyes.

Right, because the handful of crappy games on Steam for Linux are sufficient for those of us who enjoy gaming, and Macs aren't overpriced shiny crap.
Don't get me wrong. I use Linux to do much of my actual work, but Windows is still the best option for a gaming environment.
You do know that OS X has been certified as a Unix operating system, right?
If you're speaking specifically about me, I do not use public WiFi for that very reason. That's what my 4G portable hot spot is for.
I do, that's what my 4G portable hotspot is for.
If they are providing public Internet services then if they are not an expert they should be paying someone who is.

Sorry, kid. Contact wasn't published (I read the book, didn't see the movie) until I was graduating High School. I knew what Occam's Razor was long before that.
That was my first thought. Google either wants to kill it or neuter it.
Ever hear of Occam's Razor? The simplest explanation is a natural cross species viral jump, and that is pretty much what probably happened.

Actually the NFL has some of the most entertaining commercials I see. I sometimes even watch them just because of that.
Yet Roger Goodell gets a $44 million/year salary. That does not really compute well for me.
Yeah, and maybe if it didn't cost $100 for a couple to buy tickets plus $8 beers and really bad $6 hotdogs your argument might make sense.

Technology doesn't just magically appear. It is worthwhile research that if it pans out could have some really wide ranging medical applications.
If you would bother to read before shooting off your mouth you'd see that there are plenty of potential applications. It's not just being done for the 'cool' factor.
Mate selection is just one reason. Controlling resources is another.
