Wasn't their a pair of scientists that predicted the possibility that all parallel universes in which the LHC successfully ran would be destroyed, so we would always exist in the universes in which id didn't run?
If there are a few more failures, I think they might be on to something...
Brain cells regenerate very slowly. What current strategies do you know of to deal with the problems of keeping the the contents of the brain intact as brain cells die?
I think they've done a pretty good job in general with the Eee. I would be happy to get 2 hours of battery life on my shitty hp laptop with Linux on it.
When my lease runs out, I can move to another appartment with the same issue, different company. You shouldn't have to move to get decent internet service anyway.
There's a problem with your "switch" idea. Many people are stuck with a contract that said nothing about BitTorrent at all. Even worse is when an isp has a monopoly on an area. My appartment has a contract with an isp, and I cannot switch. There are lots of other people in the same boat because this is a common practice in real estate. The management company (or maybe just the executive who made the decision) gets a kickback, while you get dicked around with every time you want to download a linux iso.
That seems like a rather large mistake to make. If it was mistake, it's the kind someone might get fired for (especially after attention from slashdot).
He was using a metaphor. When Einstein said "God does not play dice with the universe" he was saying that he did not think a quantum theory based on probability alone was correct. He was saying that there must be some good reason for the seemingly random quantum effects that we use statistics to predict. Science doesn't have a perfect explanation for what happens in the most extreme circumstances in the universe, and he was merely trying to express that.
Who owns the consulting company that did the research? Who was paying them? Did either party have an incentive to make up data?
The next question is: does the data matter even if it is correct? 99% of North Koreans think their leader is a god, that doesn't make them right. Even if everyone in the world thinks someone is wrong, it doesn't make it right to kill them for thinking a certain way or saying something that doesn't harm anyone else.
I know that I've had problems torrenting linux iso's. My access slows down to a crawl for up to an hour after I stop downloading the torrent. Someone hates my isp so badly that they registered a domain about it. It's not a very good site, but the fact that they put even that much effort in to it...

Instead of figuring out where most of the spam comes from, they should figure out which geographic location churns out the most humorous spam. It could be a world wide competition.
A cure wouldn't necessarily have to reverse the Alzheimers process, just halt it (rather than slowing it down). It's true that even then for the cure to be effective the disease would have to be caught in time. What is really needed, even with the drugs that slow down the decaying effect, is a better diagnosis plan.
There are plenty of applications where a bit of lag won't do any harm, but there are still enough programs that need the higher performance that native code is still a vital part of programming. For instance, 3d benchmarking utilities and games would have a heck of a time in java. Even being optimized in lower level languages and with the latest hardware, the latest games and benchmarks run out of resources (clock cycles, memory, etc...).
It doesn't take a genius to see that the same OpenGl code that works just fine in c or c++ is slower than molasses at the north pole in the winter when ported over to java.
There will always be native code because it is faster. When code needs to perform better, rather than be more flexible, people will always go back to Asm and other such low level languages.
The greeks made similar considerable advances soon after the death of Alexander the Great. Astronomy, chemistry and mathematical advaces were common because of the information and resouces shared after Alexander the Great united what was thought to be the civilized world.
The only real problem with this is that it would be easy for someone else to find the kid. There isn't any reason why parents shouldn't be able to use this to keep up with their kids though. If the kids don't like it, they'll just have to wait until they're 18.

Whatever you do, don't use Eggplant (Redstone software). It sucks, it's terrible, and it's only for Mac Os.

Damn, that's like 3 minutes faster than taking out XP.

It's not like we haven't violated every other weapons treaty thrown at us, or sold terrible weapons to terrible people in the past.

The pope doesn't really deny science as much anymore. I'm not a big fan, but John Paul even supported the Big Bang theory.

If AMD did have the resources to aquire ATI, it would at least heighten the competition between AMD and intel, and ATI and gForce.

It's too bad that they can only slow down the disease, instead of reversing it significantly or curing it.
You're quite welcome.

Talk about flame bait.
