Come on now. Yes there are numbers involved in your analytics, but do you really think it even approaches the complexity of real technical fields, such as electronics, aerospace, bioengineering, nanotech etc.?
Not putting down marketing people, but don't try to be someone you are not.
If/when it happens, we congratulate them. It will be another accomplishment not only for the Chinese people, but the humanity as a whole. After all, we've already done it, and revered the same way all around the world.
Not everything needs to be a race or competition. The cold war is over a couple of decades ago.
It should be 2x10^16 joules, or 5 megatons (somehow 0.1C became C in the Google equation while copy-n-pasting). A little less impressive but still highly unlikely.
Other posts have already mentioned VNC, naturally. But more specifically, what you want is reverse VNC. You set up a VNC listener, and firewall port forwarding etc. on you end. Then ask the user to download a simple server executable (e.g. tvnserver.exe in the case of Windows/TightVNC) and connect to your IP address.
Not only is the logo too similar, but frankly it sucks. To the uninitiated it looks like a broken gear. You can only imagine the jokes down the road whenever something doesn't work.
For all its merits, graphic design is one of those areas where the open source movement lacks serious talent.
I see your point. It's universal in the sense that two arms and two legs are universal to all humans, amputees and people born with deformity notwithstanding.
In There is no equivalent to Christianity's "do unto others as you would have them do unto yourself" in China. So, why the hell care what your employer is paying you to do?
Right, the West is so different. That explains our wonderful state of economy.
The word is "empthy", look it up. It's something universal to all humans.
I have an environmentalist friend who drives a V8 monster truck. I kid you not. In her defense, it's probably partially for defending herself against the oil & gas mob here in Houston.
Not necessarily. Our universe could merely be a manifestation of a mathematical structure, among an "ultimate ensemble" of infinite and statistically equal mathematical structures (which manifest themselves as parallel universes with drastically different physics in each one). In other words, all rules and conditions arise out of pure statistics.
Chill dude. Languages are dynamic and evolving, and "-gate" is a perfect example in English. Not unlike "-ism", "-ology", etc, it's concise, immediately recognisiable, and perfectly convey the essence and nuance of the whole situation.
Languages are not laws of physics. They are more like technological standards -- when something gets used by a lot of people, it often becomes the de facto standard.
China bashing is all in vogue these days, since they are supposed to be the next superpower, which doesn't bode well with the current superpower that is the U.S. But realistically, neither side is pure evil, or for that matter, completely innocent. The Chinese are people like you and me, capable of things both good and bad.
Moral of the story: when deciphering all the spin in the media, truth is always somewhere in the middle.

Imagine yourself, watching a recording of your past self, who's watching a recording of your past self, who's...
Agreed. Not the first and won't be the last, cf. Howard Hughes Medical Institute.

Or he would have mentioned the product's name front and center.
Why will it be so embarrassing??

Sounds like preview can be your friend too.

Note to self: preview is your friend.
> manhole cover moving about about 0.1c
A manhole cover has a mass over 50kg. Traveling at 0.1C, it's kinetic energy would be over 2x10^18 joules, which is about half a gigaton TNT equivalent.
By comparison, the most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated had a yield of 50 megatons.
Moral of the story: never underestimate the venerable C (when compared to human scale objects and measurements).

Seconded.

"Empathy", that is. Note to self: preview is your friend.

I know, the irony is palpable.
If they ARE smarter, better, or more civilized, what makes you think they want to meet us?
ISBN that is.
... as its ISDN.

Some of the best ideas I've come up with happened in the shower, usually after a long day of working on a project.
Carl Sagan would be pround.

Well, the religious types will tell you there is also a backup copy stored somewhere, somehow in the cloud, literally.
