22K per day? Yeah, sure. You and the other elephants in the enclosure, right? The most the human gut can absorb per day is roughly 6K to 8K which is why a lot of people who do extreme expeditions still lose weight despite eating high calorie food almost non stop.
You can always guarantee that in any discussion of drugs some pothead will stagger out from under his smoky haze to defend his addiction of choice.
Majijuana is hardly heroin and causes a lot less problems than alcohol frankly, but saying that it causes NO problems is just idiotic. A small number of people are susceptible to suffering nasty (sometimes long term) affects and behaving erratically from it just as some react badly to alcohol. As with a lot of things in life its not black and white.
... to pollute every enviroment it can access. We've done a nice job messing up our atmosphere, the land and sea so the next frontier naturally is space. Who cares if ultimately all this microsatellite crap put up by here today, gone tommorow startups will hang about for decades and cause endless future problems for serious satellites in the future? Profit matters and it matters NOW! Hang any other considerations, right?

I guess you haven't heard of the problems with the F35. Not to mention all the avionics bugs that are quietly fixed in commercial airliners without knowledge of them ever getting out to the wider public. There's a good reason Airbus uses 3 seperate master computers with software written by 3 seperate teams.
"On both the read-out (decoding) side, and the driving (encoding) side, we have the ability to receive and transmit"
Receiving and transmitting DATA is one thing, turning it into *information* thats useful to the implant and the brain is another entirely. We've been able to measure neural activity for decades but we've barely begun to understand what 99% of it means from the patients subjective point of view so don't pretend this is nothing more than an I/O problem - it goes WAY beyond that.
Don't play silly semantic games when you're clearly clueless. Nature can't keep up means that natural selection can't keep up since it depends on the reproduction rate of the individual species. Bacteria can keep up with man made climate change, elephants and oak trees can't. Now run along and go play with your little school friends and let the adults continue the discussion.
Those so called warm periods were localised. They didn't encompass the entire planet.
"The geography and climate of earth are ever-changing."
And? Trees fall down naturally in forests. Does that mean we shouldn't be concerned about illegal logging? And climate generally changes over the course of millions of years, not hundreds. Nature can't keep up.
"name ANY other profession where professionals are given cutesy nicknames "
Scientists get called boffins a lot.
When people don't understand something they tend to denigrate the people who practice it even if its useful to them in the long run. And most people don't understand science or IT and so are intimidated by the people who do. Simple as that.
They might not understand much medicine either but because its their body its still something familiar plus doctors save lives so they get let off. Law - well its just parrot learning, anyone can do it frankly. But science and IT require more than just knowledge - they require the ability to think logically and often laterally and most people can't do that.
Extended support finished 2 years ago yet apparently there are still many admins (I used that term advisedly) running public facing websites who think its perfectly acceptable to run this software. This is beyond moronic but short of giving them all a royal kick up the backside I can't see a solution unless the companies involved fancy paying MS $$$ for a fix just for them.
For remote management of OS startup/shutdown and system monitoring and its effectively a small seperate computer. I don't think consumer machines have this installed. Unless I'm getting confused about what you're referring to.
Hello ActiveX, its been a while! And you never had any security issues did you, noooo, perfectly safe. Thats why its still around today... err, oh, wait...
That completely defeats the point of flying cars - ie you can land then drive off the airfield onto the road. If you leave the car part behind at departure then its pointless.
Aside from the obvious differences, car and aircraft design pull in completely opposite directions regarding weight. For a car crash protection is a high priority - that adds weight. Not something you want in an aircraft. Ditto airbags with explosive charges. A way this has been skirted is to license the vehicle on the ground as a quadricyle which doesn't need to meet many (any?) of the safety requirements of a car. But frankly I wouldn't want to drive one.
I really don't see the point of these vehicles - they're going to be compromised both on the ground and in the air and if you're rich enough to buy one you can probably afford a rolls or bentley than you can park beside your Bell or Sikorsky at the airport.
... would be not to allow the user settings to be changed by javascript in the first place! What clueless head in the clouds dreamer thought it was a good idea in the first place?
A number of sorting functions use different sorts depending on the size of the list because some sorts are much better at shorter lists - eg insertion sort - and others are better at longer ones, eg quick sort because their overheads are too high for short lists. And then you have shell sort which seems averagely good for pretty much anything.
Randomly swapping elements until you get the result you want isn't much less efficient than a bubble sort. The latter has no use whatsoever other than as a demonstration of how not to sort.
The physics might work, but even assuming the technology is developed I doubt earth governments would allow the construction. And they'd have a lot more power at their disposal - 1 nuke would be the end of it.

So I guess all the data is faked by The Man, right? FFS. Go back to bashing your bible.

Now? Not so much. A few good things here and there like Watson, but basically just a marketing company masquerading as a computer company.

No, it isn't, not in English either american , british or australian.

50 million degrees C will vapourise anything.
