Experts are wrong sometimes. While the link in the article is slashdotted, her is a similar one that's pretty persuasive: http://uncinus.wordpress.com/2010/11/09/4/ Can your expert tell the difference between an actual aircraft contrail at sunset (taken on Dec 31st last year):
Just the standard government cover-up over the fact that they launched the missile in a vain attempt to stop this UFO invasion.
As I mentioned, I would assume it requires as much force as is necessary to end the assault.
So let's take one extreme scenario - someone is giving you a "purple nurple." You have a gun in your hand, but threats to shoot the guy aren't working. He has you in a headlock with one arm, and as you are a weakling there's absolutely nothing you can do to stop the assault short of actually shooting him. Are you justified if shooting to would? What if you know he's a bleeder?
I just wait a couple years and get the GOTY edition for $20 or less. Usually most of the serious bugs are ironed out by then, and if the game is popular enough there are fan patches to fix the remaining ones.
Running at resolutions beyond the HD rez, even on large screens, eliminate any sort of need for FSAA. At that point, you just don't get jaggies that need to be smoothed.
You most definitely have jaggies without AA, even at high resolutions. It's especially noticeable on "thin" objects like grass/foliage, power lines, etc. The more fine detail in the scene, the more jaggies.
Honestly I don't see him saying anything out of line. I do wonder what happened between the that part and the "moments later" when some of the protesters were arrested. Why were they arrested?
What's wrong with checking for a "secure connection"?
My computer is on the fritz so I have to use my roommate's. He doesn't believe in firewalls / AV, so it's always infected with all manner of trojans and keyloggers. That's why whenever I use his computer for online banking, I make sure the little SSL icon is there.
Now if you excuse me, I have to call my bank - they keep losing my money for some reason....
"You know, I know this is no sheep shit. I know that when I put in my mouth, the Matrix is telling my brain that it is juicy and delicious. After nine years, do you know what I realized? Ignorance is bliss. But the funny thing is that I'm not even in the Matrix! It was true! I really ate sheep shit!"
I agree, but did Hawking flat out state "there is no unified equation of everything", or just that "we might never develop a grand unified theory of everything"?
Seems to me he was saying that "there is no way to tell what's real, only what we perceive about our universe, and it may be impossible to deduce the former from the latter."
It's about time they rethink this artificial theoretical/experimental barrier if all the "theories" being cooked up are so far out of the realm of verification that they might as well move to philosophy department.

How much force is required to defend yourself? How do you know they're going to attack you when all they do is point a gun at your head?

I prefer the google translated version:

Sounds boring, unless you turn off your omniscience.
Nah, I'd just become the benevolent dictator of the world. Then the galaxy. Then the universe. Then the multiverse.
Benevolent in my own eyes of course.
Yes, all cops are corrupt, all Muslims are terrorists, and all conservatives are warmongering closet homosexuals.
bit.us just sounds wrong though.
I don't think it could coexist very well with the KnifeWrench.
No, they should've made him sign an agreement to pay the true cost of showing up and putting out the fire.
They isn't. The illiteracy level of our children are appalling

Undoing the damage he did to civil liberties and the environment alone will take years.
Dunno about the environment, but the current administration is taking quite the opposite approach to undoing damage to civil liberties.
Isn't "cold calling" basically telephone spam? Why should it be allowed?
