enough westerners are so pissed off at islam that I do wonder how long it will be before some christian crashes a plane into a mosque or equiv
Well, you are mad at the wrong target. I bet the intersection of the set of people smart enough to be mad at US airport terrorists (the TSA), and dumb enough to think the islamic people are the cause of that is very small. But I can't be sure, as I'm not from the US and don't live there, and...
You approach some fuzzy line when you start to tag the research labs as legigimate or ilegitimate, and crossing it will have very bad consequences. Let's all hope the involved government(s) have enough self control to not kill the development of medicine within their borders, or even worse, steer it in a bad way.
Due various other quantum flux it may appear to happen in a certain order even though it didn't and its just a matter of appearance due to propagation effects.
That phrase is also missing some better note taking and logic. Does it have any meaning? It's not a bad observation at all, altought I'd agree that is a bad description.
To summarize the article, scientists confirm (again) that Quantum Mechanics works as designed. Despite all the naysayers (ok, there aren't many anymore), and the despair of people trying to create any deep understand over what is a purely pragmatic model, the Universe works exactly the way QM says it will. On a related notice, causation is preserved, unless you want any deep understanding of it.
Python has 3.7%, and C# 7.3%. Python is not ahead. C and Java have nearly the same amount. It is a tie, not a victory for C.
What is interesting is that I'd expect C# to get marketshare from Java and VB, but it got share fom Perl, Python, PHP and VB. Ok, maybe it didn't got its share directly from those, but at the overall picture it did. What that means is that if it took share from Java, then Java (or C/C++) took some share from those languages. I expected the exact oposite.
It would be very interesting to know what role QT plays on that change.
IBM is laughing all their way to the bank, while everybody pays them for the benefit of standing on their side. (In fact, that is not a new strategy for them)
Just open the port 22 of your Linux computer, and see the logs. Linux doesn't have important viroses because of it's diversity, but it has an equivalent amount of malware directed upon it.
Now, of course, with Linux most of the times you must do something stupid to become infected. That's different from other OSes that have security flaws that take years to be corrected.
Theoreticaly, the worse failure modes are less likely, even when weighted by produced power. And, also theoreticaly, they should reduce faster than with big sized reactors.
Unfortunately, about 99.997% of documents written today are not academic papers or theses written to comply with the house style of a few hundred journals and a few hundred major institutions.
LOL. Around here 99.997% of the documents are nested lists made to comply with the style of a single big entity. Yet, that style is dictated for Word (that can't even handle nested lists well), go figure.
It was more complex, and less dependent on luck than that.
The internet grew because it was open. Several more manageable alternatives were competing with it, none of them got anywhere. If this actual implementation wasn't open, it would also go nowhere, and some other open one would replace it.
Now, of course, the existence of any global network at all depended on the governments everywhere agreeing to it. And they just agreed because the Internet did already lurk into their country running over the telephone system, and nobody was wise enough to stop it.
Thus, we were luck that the governments didn't notice it lurking around, but it being open was not by chance.
The researchers just created a very simple life form (if it evolves, it is alive for any usefull pourpose here) from molecules that are expected to be created at random at the earlier times of our planet. Now somebody just needs to calculate the probability of those molecules appearing and interacting anywhere on the planet, and we have a lower value for the probability of life appearing on Earth.
Of course, that's different life from we, as we likely come from the evolution of RNA molecules.
Since the number of hosts a virus will likely infest grows exponentialy with the share of the population not imune to it (until that share reaches somewhere near 25% of the hosts), those anti-virus should make infecting a Windows machine orders of magnitude harder.
As usual, the press article doesn't include the actual equations. So, it is impossible to know if the study took actual infection spread equations into account.
It doesn't matter how much you drain, without applying pressure some blood always stays inside the meat. (And, yep, I have 1st hand experience on that.) Also, meat doesn't tend toward the gray, it tends to a dark color with some purple tonality (but not exactly purple). I don't know the origin of that color, it probably doesn't come from hemoglobine, since it is red when oxygenated, and purple when not, thus it should get more red when exposed to air.
That red color the meat displays at the supermarket is probably from dye.
The only mobile company making real money from Android is Samsung.
Coincidently, they were also the fisrt company to discover that you can make a non-crap phone running Android. Motorola is just now starting to compete.
I'm sure Nokia wants to become Just Another Android maker.
Well, they've choosen to become just another Windows Phone maker. Or do you think they are the only company selling Windows phones? They aren't, but they are the only one marketing it, as nobody else wants to spend money on a turd.
More importantly, the convergence Windows 8 would have with an Atom based phone is very huge.
I'd prefer my phone to weight less than 2 pounds, and have a battery life of more than 4 hours (both at the same time, please). There is a reason why every phone maker chooses ARM, even for phones running Windows.
I don't want some salesman at a shop deciding for me what phones I can and cannot buy
With the diversity of phones available nowadays, somebody deciding what I should buy is exactly what I want. I'd pay for it.
The problem is that in nearly every store selling a phone (or computer) around me, the person in that role can not be trusted. that's why I shop those things online.

I'd try to call him.
But maybe that would be the wrong course of action to take at the US.
Well, you are mad at the wrong target. I bet the intersection of the set of people smart enough to be mad at US airport terrorists (the TSA), and dumb enough to think the islamic people are the cause of that is very small. But I can't be sure, as I'm not from the US and don't live there, and...
I do care about most of the software I use being open source. But I don't care about games being open source either.
If they just keep their DRM under control, I'm cool with that. Too bad DRM's tendency isn't to stay under control. I'll wait and see.
Well, it seems that Steam disagrees.
It invalidates that 'No' part. Everything else is ok.

You mean people do actualy read TF academical articles?

I'm still wondering who would send those 1299 emails...

Don't bet on they destroying anybody.

On practice, well, who knows?

Of course Emacs is superior. What do you write LaTeX with? Ed?

You may discover that people have quite different tresholds for the quality of their entertainment and the knowledge they have about real stuff.

By now MS's astortuf campain keeped only the top 3 spots.
Good to know that you made no assertion about what happens if Nokia continues doing Windows phones.
Coincidently, they were also the fisrt company to discover that you can make a non-crap phone running Android. Motorola is just now starting to compete.
Well, they've choosen to become just another Windows Phone maker. Or do you think they are the only company selling Windows phones? They aren't, but they are the only one marketing it, as nobody else wants to spend money on a turd.
