Why oh why can't a device that looks like a potential competitor for a N810 have GPS built-in? Image how could it would be to flip open your browsing/ssh/gaming gadget at any time and have larg-ish screen with good resolution & GPS./me sobs
While we are at it, the designer of your printer can design nozzles that will move out of the motor to clean themselves. And get rid of combustion, which is the cause of the grit.
Diesel & gas are solvents. They clean stuff by their very nature (ymmv, some restrictions apply). The combustion is the problem and you can't really get rid of that part.
While GP misunderstood GGP, I don't see myself buying something in bulk, trying out a part of the batch and then come back to return the un-used items half a year later. That time is _way_ too long.
While I basically agree with what you are saying, I don't see how this applies to what I said.
Yes, it would be great if the general public would wisen up. Yes, it would be great if people would be interested in long-term goals. Yes, it would be great if companies were to fund scientific groundwork (again).
Still, there are things which require an insane amount of specific knowledge so you can handle them. Do you think those topics and fields should not be researched, any longer?
Your reply is witty, but lacking in a few aspects:
1) You are limiting yourself to physics. While my parent did the same, I did not.
2) You do not have to fully understand something in order to be able to use it. Take the Riemann hypothesis. Or gravity.
3) How well will the barmaid, the grandmother and the six-year-old understand the topic? Will that knowledge remain? Will they be able to explain it, themselves?
I agree with what these quotes are saying, but I do not think they are applicable in this case.
The Mars buggy could do it all by itself. If long-distance exploration had been one of the main goals of S & O, they would be able to do it in a reasonable time. But it _was not_. Now, they are either running out of ideas for the immediate surroundings and/or want it to die in a scientific and relatively cheap way to free up resources.
'Can be understood by an interested layman' is definitely the wrong metric for measuring scientific advancement.
That being said, the aether & dark matter/energy analogy is something I have been thinking about as well. It _does_ feel like a crutch for current theories. Or someone figures out where this stuff hides in the next 24 hours. Who knows:)
Last time I read about this, the report claimed that at least medication & enlargement vendors make a lot of money. If you have sources that claim otherwise, please link them. I would be interested in their numbers.
PPS: You will now only need to go through your inbox from time to time to keep it clean of crud. Ideally, your inbox would be completely empty
PPPS: Except for the various lists like debian-security-announce@ldo. You want to see those immediately and in a obvious place. But only keep the very low traffic lists in your inbox.
PPPPS: The beauty of this is you notice you filtering not seeing all mails from X in a short time and be sufficiently annoyed at losing your tidy inbox that you do something about it.
In this case you want to filter on 'list: foo' in the contains words list (look into the raw mail and search for List-Id: or the like), apply a tag and _archive_ immediately. Set up another filter that picks up every mail that looks as if it came from you. This way, you have a tag/folder that contains all threads you ever participated on. Then, you want an 'important' tag which you simply apply to everything you don't take part in but still want to follow. Optionally, you want a tag for mails sent to/by you bypassing any lists.
Put A or something in front of the most important tags so they appear on the top of the list, choose good & consistent colors for the tags you care about.
Have fun, you will suddenly be able to use mailing lists, once again.

PS: That works with GMail. If you use something else, ymmv.
Which is why I use a dedicated mailing list account with filters & automagic tagging, these days. It's the only way to have the benefits of being on a lot of lists while maintaining your sanity (and ability to follow what you are involved/interested in).
This is a hige project. More than two decades were spent on it. A myriad of components has been used, many of which were designed for the LHC. Some stuff just simply _has_ to break.
That being said, I think those people will be able to fix the issues that come up from time to time and then have a smooth-running experimental setup.
The alternative is that we will all die next time they turn it on. On the other hand, I suspect the LHC will turn us into radio-active, flying sheep (optionally with fins & lasers) before it destroys the world.
That being said, I enjoy the actual discussion about this topic, I just think it does not have any factual value whatsoever. But as a philosophical question, it's great:)
Foster worked with mathematical language and a simple definition for superstition to determine exactly when such potentially false connections pay off and found as long as the cost of believing a superstition is less than the cost of missing a real association, superstitious beliefs will be favored

I don't want dangly bits on my gear. And the SD GPS & storage cards needs special support and are, reportedly, rather bad.

Presumably, this checklist would involve turning the DRM on in production.
As a German, I find his mixture of English and German accept very amusing. It's also a very interesting video cast. Thanks for the link.
Assuming you mean millennia.. That would be approximately 45,000 of them.
I agree.
Yet, this must not be a metric by which to measure scientific advancement.

And how much longer would the spammers get paid by their clients if they had zero income? Exactly.

You are currently using 3359 MB (46%) of your 7160 MB.
This account has existed for about 1 1/2 years, now. Mailing lists can be evil ;)

I like how you completely disregard the other ~200 countries and assume that we are all US citizens. But then, Europe is part of the USA, isn't it? ;)
If you think Larry gets laid a lot, you did not play the games :)
