Point is, if they can go from the old-fashioned mess of nanometer-length tube fragments up to 18mm, that's 6 orders of magnitude longer. I know that blithely scaling up science is a major flaw of reporters, but I think there'll come a day when you can just grow a single tube a mile long, and weave them together like the core of a modern climbing rope (but obviously less stretchy).
It was partly in jest, but I have a history of inventing irc-to-other-crap bridges (my first big project let irc clients chat on DC hubs). I admire and use daily what bitlbee have done but one-on-one instant messaging is not the only application. I expect I might play with second life a bit.
Oh please. If you just wrapped everything in a boilerplate disclaimer, you'd get the same effect but with less vitriol and personal foolishness.
"the article is written by journalists. it does not go into detail. I percieve that $rant due to the inadequacies of the article. Can we discuss how this might have been sorted?"
Of course, that doesn't get so many responses as it's not a personal challenge to the knowledgable respondants.
Before I start, I want to clarify that I am you. I had the same problems. However, I have to criticise for the benefit of "normies".
Over time, learned behaviours become subconcious, like driving or playing music. After a few years, limiting driving speed or musical tempo (or heck, writing code) becomes automatic. Granted, social interaction is a lot more difficult and complicated and fiddly, but it's doable even by people quite far gone on the autistic spectrum.
Red steel was mediocre at best. The sword-fighting used motion matching to map about half-dozen wiimote motions onto the same number of sword moves you'd do traditionally with button combos. I consider that a failure to use the remote's capabilities.
GIven that the radius of the sun is larger than the distance to the moon, I really really hope you got the lunar eclipse definition wrong. Crack out the factor 5000.
TFA talks about ripples and the picture is captioned "graphene is not entirely flat". Anyway, consider the scales here, the sheets are less than an angstrom thick, and that's being generous.
The impression I'm getting is that he's trying to warn them about the problem so it doesn't happen to anyone else. Though it is, perhaps, naieve to think that one fire will spark a product recall, how exactly are dell supposed to find out that N fires were caused by their stuff if only isolated random call center staff ever hear about it?
I thought the whole point of the "Bible Code" was that they found certain patterns that went away with, say, the same amount of text taken from the hebrew translation of "war and peace", or the old testament with every 1000'th letter swapped around, and lots of other collections of 250k hebrew characters. None of them had this certain series of patterns in them (I will personally verify this at some point, but for now I'm not strongly defending it because they could just be lying.)
Ok, so they could just have done a thousand patterns until they found one unique to the torah, but that's not what the common detractors say, which is the ignorant response of "oh, if you randomise it enough anything'll fall out."
Oh, and in the original book about it, they specifically denied the ability to predict the future.

So every star wars fan you've met prefixes every implausible sentence with "in the fictional star wars universe," ?
Just sayin'.

Oh, yes, because GNU will be the most impartial judges of GPL vs anything else :)
You are attacked by a flock of flying penises.

Second life is the new IRC? I can see it happening. I propose an interface to allow people to be present in second life from an IRC client.

You are in a room of user-created content. Exits are north, south, and dennis.
That's a bit better :)

Niiiiiiiiiiiiice.
NATO troops apparently favour the AK because it sounds like just another rebel faction shooting, or something like that.
I see you've played knifey-spoony before.
32bit chroot? I run all my wine apps this way on my ubuntu desktop, with great success.
lots of flammable stuff, like wire insulation
At high oxygen concentrations, People will burn. Sorry to be so morbid, but there it is.

I've seen the same thing in UT2004, the turrets will always target the human players preferentially.

not that I want to be pedantic, but the model M's are about the only old keyboards worth not cutting to bits.
are you kidding? the Ramanujian they have is the co-manifestor of deus ex machina, which makes her a goddess.
Check the wikipedia entry for this laser, apparently the population of the upper electronic state has tripled in the last six months.
So six photos?
There are many real dyslexics, it just seems like most of the people claiming it nowadays are just not that bright.
