The other problem is that it takes more energy to send a probe to the Sun than to Pluto. Obviously that's not insurmountable: we have, after all, sent probes to Mercury. But the point is that distance isn't the only thing that matters.
That's not the only reason. When the NRA is such a powerful lobby that it managed to get Congress to pass legislation forbidding the use of computers for background checks, there are obviously political barriers to the use of technical solutions which need to be removed before it's even worth asking what technical solutions might exist.
To add complication, they recognised it as a Lorentz machine, but they didn't realise exactly what they had bought until they got it back to the museum and cleaned it.
As a former professional Java game developer myself I'm loath to cast doubt on your anecdote, but I do have to ask: how much of that speedup was due to hardware upgrades?
That's not true. You've failed to consider the case where he arranges for everyone of Polish origin to occupy the starboard seats. It's basic control theory: to be stable, you need all of the Poles to be on the left of the plane.
To judge by the question ("with this money they could have employed a professional for a month"), there's somewhere in the world where professional photographers make 24 million euros per annum. We picked the wrong career.
There's an even worse flaw in the methodology described in the fine summary. Asking people to perform a task and then running a psychological scale on them is the standard technique to see how the task primes them and affects their results on the scale. To justify the claimed results, they should really have performed the scale first and then the task, avoiding the issue of priming.
Even fruit drinks aren't as good as, well, eating the fruit involved because there's lots of nutrients you're losing out on that was in the pulp of the fruit, and besides, the pulp has carbs and fiber that help you feel 'full', which the juice alone will shoot through your system and not satiate you.
Also, the time taken to digest the cell walls and release their contents delays and spreads out the release of the sugar from whole fruit, whereas with juice the sugar hits your bloodstream in one spike.
The characters which Unicode contains are independent of the encoding used to represent them. UTF-8 and UTF-16 can represent the whole (just over 20-bit) range of Unicode codepoints. The two problems described by GPP are unsupported characters and Han unification.
That's a great plan, but it has two flaws: 1. Clouds move, so you'd have to be continually repainting the top blade. 2. The sky's only blue and white in daytime, so it would still confuse owls.
No, but you can get yourself out by looking for those legally required "EXIT->" signs that are supposed to be posted, and by remembering how you got into the building in the first place and any other obvious exits that you saw along the way.
Looking for EXIT signs is a good plan, but remembering how you got into the building isn't necessarily. It's along the same lines as the summary's
Given the option of going out the way they came
That happens to be what people will do without any external guidance: even if there's a much nearer exit, they'll pick the route they know. That's why the standard in-flight safety speech includes a bit about finding your nearest exit: because otherwise you'll have panicky people trying to run the entire length of the plane rather than use the exit just behind them.
The point of summaries is to summarise. If you have to read the article in order to understand the summary, then why not eliminate the summary entirely?
My nephew was into conjuring tricks when he was coming up to 9, and a lot of conjuring tricks have a mathematical basis. I gave him some non-transitive dice. Some of the other stuff which that site sells is also targetted at mathematically inclined children.

If you coffee was steaming at 40 degrees, the air pressure must have been rather low. As in, less than 10% of standard pressure.

A friend of mine is doing almost exactly that. He's signed up at boardgamearena and is working on one of the titles they have a licence to produce.

Your memory is very faulty. Picasso produced thousands of works.
That's not true. You've failed to consider the case where he arranges for everyone of Polish origin to occupy the starboard seats. It's basic control theory: to be stable, you need all of the Poles to be on the left of the plane.
I don't expect a high level of editing on Slashdot, but you could at least give Trayvon Martin the respect of spelling his name correctly.

And it's extremely tax-efficient.

It's potentially interesting for applications which aren't aimed at the gamer market.

This seems to be more reliably attributed to Oscar Wilde.

How does it get around the metadata collection? Surely your public key is too much metadata, even if it doesn't come associated with a name?

Whoosh.

If Archimedes did create calculus then it was considerably earlier than that, because he died more than 200 years before the first century AD.
