  1. Re:mathimatical basis for this... on Scientist Suggests We Explore 'Universe is a VR Simulation' Theory · · Score: 1

    The speed is insignificant. The amount of data it can contain that is the killer in information theory. A container can not contain more than the container it itself is trapped within.

  2. Re:mathimatical basis for this... on Scientist Suggests We Explore 'Universe is a VR Simulation' Theory · · Score: 1

    It is impossible to run a full simulation of the universe you are in, since it would automatically multiply the complexity of the universe infinitely (a simulation inside a simulation, etc).

    Basically yo simulate the entire universe you need a computer the size of the entire universe (assuming the universe is a computer).

    Impossible. Quantum mechanics already make that short cut by doing laze programming. They only resolve states that are observed.

    UTF-8 has no "endianness" being only 8bit. UTF-16 is required to start with a BOM character that determines which endian is used.

    Sun turned the control of ODF over to a standards body a long long time ago, before it was even a standard. This is what made it much easier to pass the ISO process than OOXML.

    How did this ill-informed racist piece of shit ever get moderated up?

    German cars are still among the most reliable and best performing cars available. So are the french cars, and even the spanish cars. Probably because the engines are all designed and manifactured by the same people now a days.

    Actually the way to get a proper KDE desktop in Ubuntu AND Kubuntu is to add the Debian sources to the apt/sources.list, and pull the Debian KDE packages, which unlike Kubuntu hasn't been tampered with and ruined.

    Only in theory. If that happened, it would be a political scandal and BBC would cover it happening. Several governments have tried pressuring the BBC, but all they have gotten so far is bad press.

    Still not piracy, OEM versions are no different from any other versions. In most countries you can even resell them legally. Only thing Microsoft can do is try to encourage their resellers to only sell OEM versions to OEMs.

  20. Re:What are the main differences between KDE & on KDE 4 to Be Released on January 11th · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Maybe with configuration, but look at features in stead. Windows has way more features than GNOME. For instance just a basic thing like "Open with" in explorer. In GNOME you can not open files with applications isn't officially GNOME sanctioned to open those files, and there is no way to change that, even though the have an editor for changing fileformat bindings, it doesn't allow you to add new programs. It basically goes on like that in every GNOME application. Windows is simple much more powerfull and usefull than GNOME.

    Exactly. Tag the story "notheydont" or "FUD". This is classic anti-GPL FUD.

    The result of breaking any license is that you have to stop breaking the license and pay compensation. You have the choice between removing the offending code, or start obeying the license. In this case Sony has no reason to not just remove it.

    I am sure Putin agrees that Kasparov has a "snowball's chance in hell of winning", and it is going to stay that way as long as the government supresses the opposition. The situation is not that different from the US, where two strong parties just work together to suppress any real opposition.
