...over the next year or two it'll still be cheaper for most people just to buy another hard drive to store their backups. Unless you have a lot of data. Do you really need to backup your pr0n?
What they have done is carry out a particular entangling. Getting a bunch of particles entangled is otherwise a commonplace occurence. Any bunch of particles that interact non-trivially is entangled. It's the non-entangled states that are the exception!
No. The No Clone Theorem sees to that. Basically QM is linear but cloning a particle state is non-linear. Being able to keep the original state means that the state has been cloned.
Haskell is pure (which fits well with mathematicians' ideas of what a function should do) and good at lazy evaluation (so mathematicians can work with infinite sequences as easily as with finite sequences). And things like monads should appeal to mathematicians.
Do you understand what you are talking about? You remind me of when the JWs come a-knocking at my door to lecture me on geology. They don't have a clue what they are talking about but they recite a well rehearsed script that they're supposed to repeat whenever the person who answers the door reveals they have scientific inclinations.
It's a nightmare. With multiple incompatible schemes and hideous obscure function calls it's no surprise people can't/don't remember how to do it. Once upon a time I thought it was useful knowledge knowing the various arguments to calls like ioctl and fcntl. Those days have passed. I'd like to apply my few remaining functional neurons to actually solving the real problem in hand and let the OS do the tedious stuff. Reading that documentation from Apple took me back two or three decades!
...what happens? One fixed point number in a database record is decreased, another is increased, and the fact that this has happened is appended to some logs. Why does it cost 25c? Are they storing this info on punched cards made of gold?
Knowing a bunch of obscure incantations that allow you to complete some obscure task in an obscure operating system doesn't make you smart.
Nerds are unpopular almost as a direct result of the definition. Nerds are people who are into objects, not people. This means you spend less time honing your social skills. Simple.
It's not really based on hard evidence except what I've seen of meteorites in museums. Basically I think that when these probes are sent they'll find that asteroids are in fact made of rock.
Skinnarland used to communicate with SOE using a transposition cipher. This encryption was carried out by hand by a fairly tedious algorithm. Skinnarland was just about the worst agent SOE had to deal with - he would repeatedly make mistakes in his enciphering. Leo Marks was one of the people back in Britain who had to decrypt the erroneously encoded messages. As you might imagine - decrypting an incorrectly encoded message was a horrendously difficult task and Marks seems to have spent much of his time during the war dealing with his messages. In fact, Marks had so much trouble with these messages he dubbed anything indecipherable a 'Skinnarland'!
Note that Apple don't appear (to me at least) to tell the truth about what bugs they've fixed. I think 10.1.2 was really buggy for me. It used to kernel panic, fail to wake up from sleep and generally be unreliable. With 10.1.3 these problems went away. No mention of any of this in the detailed description of what they'd fixed.
If, every time someone said the new release was noticeably snappier it really was, then my 550MHz PowerBook would be the fastest machine on the planet. Needless to say, it's not.
...Earth. They could be of terrestrial origian and thrown up a billion years ago or so by volcanic activity or a large meteor collision with earth, eventually arriving on earth again after a billion years of orbiting near the Earth. They could be leftovers from a very early time when left handed and right handed life coexisted on Earth.
/Qipo made no difference at all. I just tried profile directed compilation in v7.0 for the first time ever. That did make a difference. My code went from taking 137s to 122s. But MS is produced code that runs in 114s. I'll have to try this on some other applications. Some things come in at roughly the same speed with MSVC or Intel C++ so maybe with PGO they'll end up being better than with MSVC.
I'll have to think about getting into contact. No doubt once you have my name you'll sue me for publicly declaring my opinions:-)

BTW It's called MacOS X.

...Haskell. See here for some advocacy.
It's not just that they are scared. I believe trade maek holders are legally obliged to proactively defend their trade mark.
Why don't you set us all an example by removing your own airbags and seatbelts? Thank you.
...first time. Maybe even the second time too.
Taking a fairly uninteresting story and finding a way to spin it so that it seems related to a hot topic like SETI.

Stay back after school and write 100 times "I must look up irony in the dictionary".
Some of us buy the cheap-ass version with DOS and use it for DOS! Anyway...back to Settlers II...
But there's still another clue. Terrorists have to pray 5 times a day. And as long as nobody mods this up they'll never know that we're onto them.
Otherwise, cunning as they are, they'd know what Homeland Security are looking for and ask for vegetarian meals instead of a meal without pork.
