The “article” does not contain a single info on where the data actually comes from. (Or have I missed it?)
Which makes it impossible to determine, if it is legit, or fake. I also never heard of “businessinsider.com”, which means that they don’t have acquired any trust credit.
So there is really only one thing to do: Ignore the graph. And give a negative credit to them, for failing to give credit (by|/) offer(ing) a source.
Hey moderidiots! This was a serious question! Not a flamebait!
So stop assuming everyone is an ass, just because you are a angry pessimist!
We should really only give mod points to people, who got any empathic competence. But I guess, here at Slashdot, that would come down to the handful of people who actually got a woman/gf.;)
... so that maybe, 1,000 million years from now, some alien civilization might be able to turn that data back into thoughts.
... but that is completely impossible.
I don’t mean that it would be hard. I meant that it is physically impossible. Even for ourselves. Because of the lack of information. It would be like saying “enhance“ on a 16*16 px thumbnail, and get out the map of the world including all streets.
But hey, the gesture counts.:) I just hope we can tell the aliens that, before they interpret it as a intergalactic Bin Laden tape and start a preemptive attack.;)
You did not get it. It’s not about burying etc. It’s about it taking time. It does not matter if Google would win the lawsuit in the end. Because by then the whole deal would already be closed.
Your time would accelerate very fast, when you would approach the black hole. I would not be surprised if you would never ever actually reach the center. As time outside would become so fast, that you would see the (distorted) end of the universe before your eyes. If you would survive until then, that would be extremely cool though. Certainly a better way to die than slowly getting eaten by cancer.
Also I recommend having a radio stream coming in from the outside, so you could hear the acceleration (assuming radio receiver would survive). If you can get the outside sender to slow down the waves accordingly: Even better. Then you might soon get a message of who’s the next president, every 90 seconds.;)
Wait for Comcast to sue Google just as they sued the cities, just because they intended to build their own net. (For what? Deprivation from their monopoly? I don’t know.)
They will sue Google at least long enough, to stall things, until they got something ready and bribed their way into the city taking their offer instead.
Man, I hope I’m wrong. It hurts my heart to see a fellow geek without at least 10 Mb/s downstream.:/
No, it’s because the only face book they know, is the one at the police station, which looks like a family reunion album. ^^ (Works equally well on any color/race/whatever.:)
There’s an obvious reason for that: Humans are not made to live in huge hierarchies. We are made to live in small groups of people, where everybody knows everybody. (Example)
As soon as things become half-anonymous, or people do not actually participate in any decisions anymore, it stops working. The one on top will then only care for themselves, as they are the only ones that seem “real”. The one on the bottom will “just do his job”, not really caring for the company anymore.
It’s the same reason why states can’t work. We’re not a team anymore. We are way to diverse to be that tight unity of a community where everybody cares for everybody, or even has mostly the same views as everybody else.
It is possible with fractal structures though. Meaning you have small groups of 20-50 people, who also act as a atomic entity in a group of 20-50 groups. And so on. It’s very important here, that they can really act like single entities in that big group. Else it’s not possible.
“Never argue with an idiot. First he’ll drag you down to his level. And then he’ll beat you with experience.”
You are assuming that it is possible to argue with religious people. But it is the definition of “religious”, that you can’t argue with them about their beliefs. Because they stopped living in the real world, and instead base everything on an inner fantasy world.
Is’t like trying to tell a schizophrenic person he was wrong, when he just ran on the highway at full traffic, thinking that he had the power to control if cars hit him, and being hit with full power. If he survives it, he will simply state, that that was exactly what he wanted. Including the injuries and near-death. It’s futile.
I see that a lot with Apple customers: First they fall for the viral hype machine. (Apple has tons of people, doing nothing else, than posting positive comments everywhere 24/7.) Then they notice that it wasn’t worth the price at all and is actually pretty crappy. And then they try to defend their bad decision, so they don’t have to call themselves the idiots that they were.
Hey, we’re only human. Everyone falls for such advanced psychological marketing once in a while. But at least don’t make it even worse by letting others getting caught in it too.
Because healthy people don’t feel the irrational urge to “believe” in something, as if it was a religion.
Without the huge viral hype machine (you can bet that half the people you hear saying how great it was, were paid by Apple), and the US being so deprived of modern phones, the iPhone would never have been a success anywhere.
Slashdot Mirror
Some special Chinese agent made a visit at Brin’s house at night, reminding him that they could make him disappear “just like that”.
I hope not. But it would not surprise me a bit if this was how it happened.
Interesting. I remember when that was $100 billion in cash.

...the gulf stream goes back to its normal route via Europe...
I hope it does not only work because of the current exceptionally cold situation.
That would be a *DOH* of epic propotions. ;)
lol.
If your site truly needs availability, you need a second universe!

how to make themselves look nicer than the professional porn stars
I know that in America, everyone says that that is bad. :D
But I also know, that in America, everyone thinks that that is good.

Kill it before the USA becomes known as the Zombie Nation.
I fear it’s a little late for that, buddy. ^^

Sounds more like dumping a shit (the unprofitable parts of the company), and walking away...
And that can be reprinted in less than 0.01 seconds. In color!
It needs no. consumables. at. all!
I’s called a display!
Pff. GHC takes over 8 hours and eats up to 8 GB of RAM (per compiled file) in the process.
I literally start compilation when I go to bed, and it’s nearly finished when I wake up.
If it’s Java, it would be:
project.getDevelopersGetterFactory().getDevelopers().getFirstGetterFactory().getFirst().getDownHunterFactory().getDownHunter().do().getShooterFactory().getShooter().execute()
And in Haskell it would the following very obvious and self-explanatory code:
s $ h $ f $ d
Try, 250,000 of code.
Which would be about 2,500 lines of Haskell code. ;)
And 247,500 lines of documentation to make sense of them.

I don’t think “basement” counts as “in the wild”. Unless the mold has become sentient...

Wow, then about every subway train and bus in my city must be from the future, because they had flywheels for at least a decade.
