Now what happens when we take it to the other extreme? What about a massive life form the size of a planet, or a solar system? How would it perceive time? Its metabolic rate would by necessity be much slower than ours, so would most likely perceive time in very fast motion and, if the life cycle was anything like ours, could have a lifespan of millions of years.
Not terribly exciting, perhaps, until you consider this:
The speed of light in a vacuum is fixed in any given reference frame, and measured in distance over time. However if time is very large (but still perceived as "normal" from their point of view), they would never have to deal with relativistic issues when approaching c, such as requiring infinite energy. So, with adequate propulsion, they could achieve immense speeds (again, from their own point of view) across the universe.
So... you'd be fine calling Chelsea a 72 year old from Uganda if he wanted? After all, that would then be his age and country of origin, right? Okay, got it.
If you want to bring up logical fallacies, please feel free to point out some more (actual ones this time), because I'm really not seeing any difference between your claim and the above reductio ad absurdum.
You guys should really look at the --backup and --backup-dir options in rsync.
I use them in conjunction with --delete to always have a "current" copy of the data, along with any old files (ie that have been updated or deleted) in a separate backup folder, named after the current day of the month.
That way you get a directory structure as follows: 01 02 03 04... 31 Current
You can restore the up-to-date set from Current at any time, and if you want to retrieve a file you deleted or over-wrote five days ago, go look in folder 06.
So an SSD in a desktop computer died. So what? Just run the array in degraded mode until the damaged drive is replaced.
Who uses hard drives (SSD or otherwise) in desktops in anything other than a RAID configuration? In Linux where software RAID-1 is trivial there's even less of an excuse.
In a laptop I can understand it, since there's often only space for one drive and even then you expect everything on it to be volatile.
What utter rubbish. Gender is irrelevant to 99.999% of people, you say? Do you actually know anyone of the opposite gender to you? Of course both genders should have equal rights, but both are not equal. Those are very, VERY different things.
Let me guess, you're a man who wants to have babies. Or perhaps have just been brainwashed by years of feminism (the girlie version of mysogeny I mean, not the positive movement to maintain women's rights).
No, the cat example is spot on, just as if it were a cardboard box or a banana. The point is, you can pretend all you like to be something you are not, but that doesn't make it so.
Perhaps you're thinking of the very few documented cases where people are born with biological ambiguities, but that's rather unlikely to be the case with Mr Manning.
Which is why someone needs to make a fully functional LibreOffice for Android.
Suddenly all that talk by devs about no longer being constrained by storage space, CPU time and available RAM is looking rather silly, isn't it? All I can say is, I told you so.
Well, yes Chelsea can use whatever name he wants. But it's still incorrect to apply feminine pronouns to a man, regardless of what self-image issues he may have. I may think for example that I'd quite like to spend the rest of my life as a cat, but I wouldn't expect anyone to take me seriously.
I do wonder, however, if in this case he's trying to set a background for an insanity defence if he were to find himself in court.
So how is this watch, that reportedly only connects to other Samsung smart devices, any better than the one Sony has had out for months that connects to just about anything running Android?
Sorry, I just don't get how you can deny AWG. American Wire Gauge has been the standard for wire diameters since 1857, and doesn't look to be going away any time soon.
That's not how vaccinations work. They don't, and never claim to, offer 100% life-long immunity to recipients.
What they DO offer, is herd immunity - many recipients will become immune for a decent period of time. Therefore a community of vaccinated people will have a much higher proportion of immune people so the virus will have an exponentially lower chance of successfully spreading. Introduce someone from outside the immunized community who has become incubus plague and you've introduced a new chain of infection for those with whom the person directly interacts.
(stupid submit button)... that let you send/receive text messages, but of course require the other parties to have the same app installed. Viber comes to mind.

I had to read the headline three times before I realised the article was not about a certain Ubuntu desktop environment.

I think that's kind of cool.

I don't get it.
Couldn't they just add a TV output to a regular Vita? I mean, why strip out the screen and controller at all?

No problem.

You're welcome.
Which court? As far as I know, only the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (TM) can declare something unconstitutional.

Why, because AZ is one of few western locations that handles DST correctly (ie not at all)?

You're probably right, but do keep in mind that the NSA was at one stage America's largest employer of mathematicians.
I'm not really sure, but I suspect they won't be given a choice.
Greenland, Alaska and the Antarctic are looking pretty ripe for the taking too.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one...
I'm pretty sure Ice Cream Sandwich is a bit obscure, too. Why not just Ice Cream?
An ICS is something I wouldn't think of making. I mean, wouldn't the bread go all soggy?
Is there only one public school in your district? Is it huge, or do you live in a very small town?

This is basic epidemiology.
