Monitors lack TV tuners. So I myself would say No.
What's a TV tuner? Oh, you mean that DVB box between the HTPC and the antenna on my roof that has not been used in years, but we keep around in case of an extended internet outage? 99% of free-to-air is advert-infested reality TV and reruns. Anything decent I can get from their websites on demand, or "other sources".
And even if you do want DVB, what sort of Nerd uses the built-in tuner on a dumb TV?
Isn't it more like they *disproved* the hypothesis that "there are no strings of 8 consecutive zeros in pi" by finding an example at a given place?
As a non-mathematician - do I understand this correctly? Expressing a proof that partitioning is possible for {1,2,...n} is simpler - you just provide an example. The hard part is proving that no such partition exists for a given n. In this case, they both proved the specific cases up to 7,824, and disproved the general case by proving it impossible for the specific case {1,2,...7825} .
The number of possible partitions of that set is 2^7824, which makes the number of particles in the observable universe look rather small, so a brute-force approach is inadequate.
She did actually have an exceptionally interesting life after the war. But somehow, I don't think slashdot wants to talk about her musical career or conservation work. A truly remarkable woman, but to slashdot, her death is just being used as excuse for another discussion on Bletchley Park, which of course is indeed very interesting.
Yeah, why would the history of cryptography interest Slashdot readers?
Of course it does, but is this "history for nerds"? I'd prefer a genuine news item to lead in. The recent discovery of an encryption machine on eBay would be a slightly better example.
Miss Fawcett, was not a "code breaker" but one of thousands of of clerical workers, and whose skills were typing and fluency in German. I'm sure her later career as an Opera singer would be far more interesting. RIP.
A 95 year old woman dies. Is this what "news for nerds" has become?
No matter how interesting her early life, the death is hardly news, and not the best starting point for a nerdy discussion. So I will just moan about the editors instead.
I thought it was common knowledge that bracelet heart-rate meters were unreliable. That's why so many of us still buy those chest straps (also bluetooth now).
Next thing, we will be shocked, shocked to hear that those body-fat reading scales are a lot of junk.
Excellent idea. In fact the world should ban US content,
Uh, no. Lets just limit it. Europe produces some great TV shows - some even are on Netflix - but s its hard to compete with dumped US content, which has next-to-zero marginal cost for export. I'd very much like to see both US content (HBO, netflix, etc) and European. Unfortunately, the free market model is not very suitable for this.
And while you are at it, keep your military, your drones, your CIA meddling , your economic bullying and your other "US interests" at home too.
Mmmm... bad as the US is, who would you rather fill the power vacuum? After WW2 the UK and France were all ready to do Versailles 1919 mark II. Or would you rather a Pax Sina?
Offensive, really? Is it not obvious that "American" is a necessary abbreviation. What else? USAnian? Yes, its a poor choice of name for a country, and UK of GB & NI is even worse, but its a bit late to go changing these things.
Do the French Bretons/Brittany residents take offense at "British" excluding them?
More like saying "America", which people actually do.
America is short for "United States of America", just as Britain is short for "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". Both are widely accepted.
it's probably a holdover in American English from when the US became independent. At the time, it was indeed the Kingdom of Great Britain -
Ah! ! That may well be it, or at least it's a damned good excuse.
Seriously countries should get together to create a supervised children only internet, linking together children, education facilities and licensed adults...
Eh? I was waiting for the punchline, but it never came. Are you really serious!? My children seem to have no trouble avoiding "adult" content on the internet, just as they avoid it on TV. I don't have to password-protect Game of Thrones in the media server. Perhaps you are one of those people who want to treat teenagers as children, instead of the young adults that biology has made them?
This Americanism annoys me. "Great Britain" is an island, not a nation. Why not say "the UK", or just "Britain"? Do Americans imagine it is a compliment to call it Great? It must annoy the Northern Irish even more, like referring to the US as the "Contiguous United States".
Cops in the US will arrest women for going topless in public. What's the difference?
Degree. Yes, some parts of the US are a little bit like a Theocracy. But even your example is stretching it. Only a few states have laws against toplessness. Sure there a lot of fucked-up things in the US. Like those guys arrested for posting reviews of sex workers. What free speech? But you can't seriously claim that the abuses of power are in the same class as Iran, one of the more repressive countries in its region, let alone the world.
(And yes, it was probably worse when it was a US client state.)
Try Swype. Even Nokia had it since PR1.1 on the N9, and it made hardware keyboards redundant.
However, if you are still not convinced, you can buy a phone-case with slideout bluetooth keyboard. It makes a modern Android or IOS phone almost as thick as the N900.
Do you mean it goes around the Earth and ends up back where it started? That's true of most travelers.
Most travellers don't just walk to the nearest park and spend a year walking laps of it. That's not travel. The ISS is effectively parked. (parked in an awesome spot.) Sure it is moving relative to the centre of the earth, but so is the car on blocks. 24 hour circuit vs 90 minutes.
I remember loading Doom for the first time from a 3.5-inch disk back in 1994.
Luxury! I had to toggle it into the front panel of a PDP-11 clone. Or was that "Hunt the Wumpus"? We only had 1s and 0s, but we were grateful. Not long before, we'd had to program with only zeros.
repeatedly states that these genetic factors are minor, especially when compared to environmental factors,
TFA also states that the study was based solely on "individuals of white, European descent" so as to eliminate racial factors. And while the effect of the *identified* genes is minor, it does not imply that the overall genetic effect is minor.

path names, not file names. Its quite easy when a file is buried a few levels deep. Especially with symbolic links.

Yes they do. A "proper" one measures bioelectrical impedance. Muscle conducts better than fat.

Hell at least we can still draw cartoons of mohamed
So has it come to the point where the US draws consolation from still being still not as bad as some middle-eastern Shithole?
Or were you referring to France?

A Pommie is what the Seppos call a Limey.

I think most Americans are very confused about what to call you folks.
You can call us "Aussies", pronounced "ozzies" -- but what does that have to do with Pommyland?
More like saying "America", which people actually do.
America is short for "United States of America", just as Britain is short for "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".

OK, Little Britain then.
That would have been what is now known as Ireland:

It is in effect from 0500 to 0800,
That is GMT, which was 8-11am local time according to TFA, so the rest of your post is BS.
I hear they have lined up Adam Sandler to play the lead wooden block. Perfect casting, but they might need more than $80m to break even now.
How cheap it is compared to the business and productivity lost is unknown : )
Lost? I'm sure a lot of businesses had increased productivity that morning.
