When Schrödinger was caught speeding, he claimed: "I didn't have that high speed before you measured. It was your measurement which caused my speeding."
Einstein, on the other hand, simply replied: "I've just proven that the true speed limit is the speed of light. I was clearly slower than the light, so your claim that I was speeding is wrong."
Well, how long until we wear our computers instead of carrying them? With the display being mounted in goggles, and the UI being controlled with eye movements, or maybe even with a simple brain interface?
Well, the amount of cash the company gets remains the same (or actually increases, if PLEX get destroyed!). Even if the hardcore player only pays in-game money, someone, somewhere has paid real cash for it. Someone who wouldn't have paid it if he couldn't sell it in-game. The company couldn't care less who pays the money, as long as the money gets paid.
There is no cube which can be solved with two steps this way. The minimum (except for the trivial case of an already solved cube) is eight steps (that's for two rotated edge cubes: 1. Remove first sticker from first cube, 2. Remove second sticker from first cube, 3. Remove first sticker from second cube, 4. Remove second sticker from second cube, 5. Put first sticker at correct place, 6. Put second sticker at correct place, 7. Put third sticker at correct place, 8. Put fourth sticker at correct place).
Well, the post I answered to considered the situation that all of mathematics is wrong. If all of mathematics is wrong, then of course also the definition of sets, and even the definition of the empty set (because if that definition isn't wrong, there's something in mathematics which isn't wrong, in contradiction to the assumption). And therefore in that case the sentence "the correct mathematical knowledge is the empty set" would not make sense, because the empty set already would be ill defined.
Of course, that argument relies on the use of logic, which itself is part of mathematics, and therefore also would be wrong. Therefore my last sentence that this very situation might invalidate my argument.
The point is, that you cannot learn from the web how to effectively learn from the web, because to learn from the web you already have to know how to learn from the web. It's a catch22, which you can only break if you have a trusted source of initial knowledge. That's what the university is supposed to give you: A basic set of trusted knowledge, from which you can start to explore the rest (and possibly even question that trusted knowledge in a meaningful way).
It was not a matter of know-how, it was a matter of doing. Until web 2.0, very few online services exposed their content in machine consumable formats that any developer can access.
And before the web, there was no Internet at all, right. And SMTP, NNTP, IRC, X11, NTP, ICMP, telnet, DNS, FTP, NFS etc. all didn't exist.
It was a significant shift in how the web was used.
So, how many cases of capitalisation of "laser" do you find in titles of recent preprints? I can't find a single one. (Well, one in a journal name where the complete journal name is in uppercase, but that doesn't count, of course).
I've got a MSc in comp sci, entry level jobs start at $17/hr...while I get paid $25/hr, under the table, to mow lawns & do landscaping. Yes, I am the worlds most overqualified gardener : p
Well, one day you'll be one of the few gardeners who know how to program a gardening robot.
Nowadays. Not too long ago, most people had electron accelerators at home. Complete with high voltage, magnets for turning the beam, and detectors. Indeed, looking at those detectors was quite popular. Nowadays people prefer to look at polarized light which passed through liquid crystals.

If they had looked at international places, surely they would have found 850 "typos."
(If you don't get it, google for 437 850)
How many high school students have the cash to call a recovery company if their hard disk fails?
Considering that there are 256 values possible for a given byte that's not quite as useless as one would think.
But rot13 only affects 52 of them.

It uses multiple passes of rot13, and the key tells how many passes are done. :-)
From THEM, of course.
But the FBI/CIA/NSA have ways of reading even zeroed drives! (so I hear) Will we ever be safe??
That's why I one them instead. I've never heard that they can read a oned drive. :-)
No, looking in /dev/null doesn't reveal much of anything.
You think so? I just looked into your /dev/null, and you wouldn't think what I found there! Really hardcore stuff you like to watch!
Well, how long until we wear our computers instead of carrying them? With the display being mounted in goggles, and the UI being controlled with eye movements, or maybe even with a simple brain interface?
But those use a lot of fuel!

Well, as I read the story, the blowing up was a normal in-game action (with unforeseen consequences). No hacking, as far as I can see.
I never said it wasn’t easy. What isn’t easy is doing a “mirror symmetric problem” with no practice.
Saying the alphabet backward is easy too, but that’s because I practiced it.

No, the alphabet backwards is of course:

Yeah, because before that, no one knew how to have programs other than browsers communicate over the internet ... :-)
That's no normal tinfoil, that's antiseptic tinfoil. It's purely for hygiene!
Oh, the terrahertz waves show everything. It's only the terahertz waves which are that limited.

And where do they learn to sift through that on their own?

The Web is good for "how-to" information. [...] How to approach a problem, not so much.
Nice.
