Ugh, I hate the circles on the Sun where the colour changes from one hue to another. If this guy is such a great photographer can't he post a version with a decent colour depth?
I guess I'm missing something, but don't you test your bug fix when you write it?
You said that your bug fixes "come back", it sounds like you are cutting some code and sending it off without testing that you actually fixed the problem?
That aside - this theory should be fairly easy to test - for everyone else who has ever had this bug, manually compare the phone numbers of the intended recipient and the actual one and see if they are nearly the same. If not - theory busted (or we have multiple bugs, which is probably more likely!)
Beta decay is: neutron -> proton + electron + antineutrino.
If you add a neutrino to each side you get: neutron + neutrino -> proton + electron + energy
So is it not plausible that the probability of a nucleus undergoing beta decay is related to the number of neutrinos handy?
A couple of other corollaries: this finding would mean that carbon-14 dating is less reliable than previously thought; and also that it may be possible somehow to extract historical data about the strength of the sun somehow. (relevant to the AGW debate).
From that great font of modern knowledge, "the CPT theorem states that any Lorentz invariant local quantum field theory with a Hermitian Hamiltonian must have CPT symmetry.".
I guess people are more willing to give up Lorentz invariance,than QFTs requiring their Hamiltonians to be unitary..
Knowing when to observe it doesn't make a difference. The problem is that if Alice observes and sees "down", then she knows that Bob's observation (whether it was before hers or after!) will be "up", but this hasn't conveyed any information.
The measurement is symmetric with respect to each end. In fact it's not even defined which measurement occurs first , if they both measure at a close enough time that the events are not in the same light-cone in spacetime.
Something I gained from reading this article: Verlinde posits that a finite region of space can only contain a finite amount of information. We can derive the uncertainty principle (something I've always found weird) from this: if a point particle had its properties known exactly, then the density of information at that infinitesimal point would be infinite.
"Left 4 Dead 2".. I have a feeling some of those numerals are meant to represent words but not sure which ones, there seem to be a number of possibilities.. someone explain please
This is going to be great for the uptake of Linux, and will really encourage people to use open-source tools instead of rolling their own proprietary black box. Keep up the good work!
Sorry, but if you get that from my posts then you need to take a reading comprehension course. It is not racist to note that different races exist, and I don't feel oppressed by anyone (except the tax department).
No, no it isn't. Knowing how to do a long division by hand adds nothing whatsoever to your understanding or foundations.
As an analogy, can you do a cube root by hand? I can't. I'm sure I could figure out an algorithm if I really wanted to . But I don't. Does it stop me understanding higher level math? Absolutely not.
Back to the original topic, it is absurd to say that you need to know how to implement X in order to use X. Who among us could implement MS Windows?
Here's my theory. Blizzard will retract the clause that they don't really care about, the unpopular clause about in-game donation prompts. We'll accept it, end of story. So the remainder of the new rules get far less scrutiny than they would if they'd just put out the 'real' set of new rules first.

Why did they write it in Java ?!?

How about taking a bit down to the geology department at the local university? Find out what the crater actually is. It could be important :)

For comparison, LOTR (3 volumes + appendices) is about 500,000 words. This is a HUGE amount of work.
(Best apart from LOTR, of course)

It's flamebait to speak out against political correctness now?
Hasn't this been known for a long time? TFA described the three groups but didn't use these terms -- rampant political correctness, sigh..

Information theory doesn't mess around. You cannot destroy information.
Yes you can. I had a file on my hard drive, and I deleted it. It's destroyed now.
(The black hole experiments confirmed that.)
There have not been any black hole experiments.
Try living in Russia, and having Sarah Palin looking across at you all the time.
Unfortunately, the existence of a victim is not required for something to be a crime, in our legal system.

I don't know about Australia, but in the US lobbying against unjust laws is an exersize in futility. Lobbying FOR unjust laws only takes money.
You need to get Alan Shore on your case!

So the book of Genesis was written by robots? That explains a lot.
