If two entangled particles are connected with a wormhole, then it makes total sense that the state of one affects the state of the other, because if these two points in spacetime are connected via a wormhole, then communication between them is instant.
Holding a gun to people's heads and demanding money does not make you liked.Finding what they like is tough, and getting tougher every year
So, according to you, it would be ok to get a Ferrari, ride it for as long as I like, then dump it because it did not like it after all, withouit paying a dime, right?
My experience is different. I had a lot of dates with women from dating sites, and I met my wife that way. I have a kid, after 5 happy years of married life.
I think what matters is the initial approach. Many men go for an impressive opening line, but women don't really want that. My approach was very simple. My initial message was: "hi, how are you?." Most women replied back, and then the conversation started.
I would have expected, in this day and age, where computers are supposed to be much more powerful than needed for the majoirty of users, that C-style management of buffers would have been a thing of the past, especially in major software like Office and browsers.
But, judging from your post, it seems that is not the case. People still use raw buffers without bounds checking.
The principle "peformance first, safety second" has not done good. The majority of problems like this come from the programming language C which does not mandate bounds-checked array access.
What if we put nuclear power stations deep in the ground so as that any nuclear accident can be simply dealth with by burying the stations with the dirt and rock above them?
Since time is an emergent property of entanglement, and since particles can be entangled no matter what the distance is between them, then there exists a common clock for entangled particles, thus proving that the theory of Relativity is wrong, since these particles can be light years away.
If the above is not correct, then entanglement must break at the point of one of the particles exiting the light cone of an event, and after that there cannot be a common clock between them.
In TNG, Starfleet made it a regulation to alternate phaser frequences in order to fight the Borg. The Borg soon adapted to that strategy.
It would be strange for the bacteria not to adapt to the strategy of alternating antibiotics as well. It seems the bacteria have a very good pattern recognition mechanism.
If someone copies a movie for free it's hard to justify the studio claims that they lost money because someone "would have paid for it" - who knows if the "consumer" would have bothered to watch it if they had to pay
But studios claim money loss after the fact - studios say they lost money because someone saw the movie, not because someone might have seen the movie.
So, after the fact has happened, piracy *IS* money loss.
Given its experience, Nokia could have taken Android and polish it so much that it would have left its competitors in the dust.
Not only that, but Nokia could have brought Qt to Android and make Android application development extremely more pleasant than what it is now (and avoid all the legal problems with Android's Java).
In any case, starting with an existing functioning OS gives you a great advantage over your competitors. Nokia tried to not only compete in the smartphone market but also to create their own OS from scratch! and to add more salt to the injury, thet chose the same kernel as Android did!
Finally, Nokia could have invested in a proper Adobe Flash 11 implementation and have the only smartphone that can show the web like a desktop PC. That's what sold N900 in the first place anyway. There are lots of people who do not care about Flash, but there is also lots of people who are frustrated that they cannot play their favorite Flash games on mobile.
In Physics we learn that energy/matter cannot be created or destroyed, just change form, and that the universe is a closed system where the total energy/matter is static.
Recently we have also learned that virtual particles are constantly appearing and then disappearing and the void of space is not really a void but a boiling soup of virtual particles. But since these particles disaappear instantly after they appear, the net result is that the universe's energy/matter quantity does not change.
However, the idea in this article claims the opposite: virtual particles, i.e. the quantum foam, does not disappear, but it is added instead to the energy/matter of the universe, thus making the universe an open system. Isn't that a violation of the known physics laws?
1) no matter how fast you move the torch, you will not see the torch's shadow move faster than the speed of light. The shadow will not be in sync with the torch's position, it will lag behind.
What you said violates the principle you stated, i.e. no information can travel faster than the speed of light. But a shadow could be used like a signalling device, and so if it appears to be moving faster than light, then we would have information transmitted faster than light as well.
2) Quamtum tunneling is indeed faster than light, but if it is used for calculations then it will also violate the principle you stated. I.e. if an electron goes from place A to place B faster than light, then information will have been received faster than light since we will know of that fact.
It's their right to disconnect the servers any time they want. They sell you the product without hiding that fact. If you don't want the product, you don't buy it.
Crying 'consumer rights' for a product that is sold with a publicly known 'always on' feature is like wanting to enforce your own policy on the publisher.
Guess what? it will not happen. Just don't buy those games.
ERT was a House Of Corruption. It should have been shut down years ago.
Not only was it a propaganda station, but it was also full of employees that did not have a job description, but they were employed by politicians in order to vote for them.
2500 employees for 3 channels and 1 radio station.
The real problem with language recognition is context. When we talk, our spoken words contain half of what we mean. The rest depends on external parameters, from our body language, to the time and place at the moment.
So, unless a computer can understand the same context, there is not gonna be serious language recognition, as we see it in sci fi.

I was never bothered by those inconsistencies in N900's UI.
Athough they do exist, they are irrelevant for me, unlike the UI inconsistencies of Android 4's UI.
So, according to you, it would be ok to get a Ferrari, ride it for as long as I like, then dump it because it did not like it after all, withouit paying a dime, right?

...and I am sold.
I tried the iPhone. Didn't like it, too much of a walled garden.
I tried Android. It's UI sucks. Huge incosistences all around.
I will stick with my N900 until a Sailfish phone with a hardware keyboard arrives.
That's what she said!!!
(that's what you get from watching The Office).

...that says the seller or creator of game has no responsibility for the consequences of playng the adult-only game.
Then no one will be able to complain about kids having access to violent video games.
Pay some people or give the better commenters the ability to temporarliy ban trolls. That's how you solve the problem, not by removing commenting.
But studios claim money loss after the fact - studios say they lost money because someone saw the movie, not because someone might have seen the movie. So, after the fact has happened, piracy *IS* money loss.
Why would an N dimensions black hole create a N - 1 dimensions universe? why not create an N dimensions universe or a N - 2 dimensions universe?

But if the people of Earth are poor, who buys the products the rich make?
I think you are trolling. I searched for Qt's horrible design problems but I found nothing.
How does it overuse OOP? its design seems very logical to me.
From which features of C++ does it stay away? Qt 5 even supports lambdas as slots.
Which things are done better elsewhere? could you be more specific?
I always thought Qt had one of the best C++ designs. Which parts of it do you find horribly designed?
