nonsense, not a simple matter to subvert operating system of a machine (by some imagined manufacturing trick) and find and overwrite whatever dns system is in use. such a thing would be quickly noticed, and would only work in the two-way and more-way transactions of the internet if all machines were subverted. in other words, it wouldn't work. you can make a private internet, but the real internet won't work with it.
you are confused, I don't care about a random punk getting his jollies listening to me tell my wife sexual things, we're talking about government which in fact does have prevention for casual wiretap and moreover then using that in court. That's true even with patriot act, etc.
you contradict yourself on snacks, yes there are carb gels and others prefer certain natural foods. there are runners who want their own drinks, and the "first aid" things that aren't for injury......I'd agree there is no need for anything of the *weight* of a pressure cooker (loaded with bad things too) in a bag, but the gym bag is pretty useful. but the way a person would carry a bag full of heavy evil shit would be obvious.
no, the protocol only respects the 13 logical root servers, and ultimate control of that root zone is by the United States Department of Commerce. so good luck with your private Chinese internet
rubbish. Microsoft has invented nothing, they have no IP in any field for any product or process whatsoever. your argument has no foundation. microsoft deserves to have their ill-gotten assets seized for their theft, fraud, monopolizing, market manipulation.
interstellar travel at slower-than-light speed is possible with either huge slow "arks" or with either nuclear powered craft going at a few percent of light speed. Even right now we have the technology to build a fission powered robotic probe to Alpha Centauri system, for a wicked price tag of amount that we'd rather spend on war and military power projection.
you don't run marathons, do you? how about your friend or relative holding your bag at finish line with drink, snacks, massage roller, extra shoes and socks, first aid medicine/bandages, wipes, anti-fungal spray, cell phone/wallet/keys.....
Not true at all, easy for life to propagate far and wide over short time interval. look at the motion of stars with respect to earth. Bernard's Star is about 6 light-years away but in 9,000 years will be 3.75 light years away and it's moving at 140 km/sec relative to Earth. It is easy to see how one proto-system can move through the remains of many other systems over a relatively short period of time. The Sun orbits the milky way in only 226 million years, going through all number of remains of other systems
News flash for you, pseudo-pedantic boy, one integer can indeed be less than another. Don't make us repeat this one or more times, less than two times should be sufficient.
I have a news flash for you, young man. Numerical solutions, on computers, for the n body problem were being done in the 1950s, S. von Horner being a notable person in the field.
Yes, analytical math can be used to plan orbits, even done today for first passes. my senior year physics project was orbital calculations by both numerical and multi-variate calculus. No reason what I did couldn't be done on say an IBM 701 or 7000 in the 50s...
we already paid AT&T and other telcos for national broadband back the 90s; they don't deserve nor do they get the same deal google does. they need to provide what we paid them to do (the thieves used the money to buy up competitors)
Isaac Asimov was approached and agreed to write a novel from the movie, but he was so embarrassed about the logical and scientific fallacies of the whole tale even though his version fixed a few. The book was released before the movie so everyone thought the film was based on his novel.
oh? if you're not encrypting your landline call you have no reasonable expectation of privacy? how about a snail-mail letter? e-mail does have an "envelope" to protect it, it takes either the equivalent of "wiretapping" for the government to get it in transit, or username/password to pick it up as regular user. however weak we know those protections are as geeks, the government should be held to warrant whenever it tries to stick its nose in a citizen's business.
that which we used to do with hard wiring and circuits is more and more being done in software on commodity computing chips. So the number of needed "hardware EEs" is going down, while the number of needed software development, engineering, QA & testing, and IT infrastructure people is going up.
you can transmit your finding to the other person, at equal or less than lightspeed, so they don't have to measure theirs. BUT they won't get that information instantly, so the whole thing is useless for FTL comm. What is can be useful for is secure communications as "reading" one of two or more entangled particles affects the state of them all.
lazy and stupid IT people, whose jobs are to at least adhere to minimal security practices, deserve to reap the rewards of their negligence. as do the people who hire and manage them.
wrong, it is actual science and the way things behave, and the equations are complete (outside of realm of heavy space-time curvature such as near black hole). It is just different from the mental model most humans have. Nothing stopping anyone from taking prerequisite basic calculus and then basic quantum mechanics course.

nope, reactor nuclear waste has iron-55, not iron-60. there is also cobalt-60 and nickel-63....

in my country all major news media relies on ad-generated revenue. they exploit everything from human interest stories to the weather.

because an athletic event never would have people showing up with duffel bags
NASA had mainframes in 1960. Sad but true. I can post links to pictures if you require proof.

they're called midwesterners
I find these urban legends amusing. NASA had IBM mainframes circa 1960, the 7090 at AMES for example

no, most recent US. weapons designs are from at least the late 80s, even though those weapons not deployed some test versions made.
