His criticism of string theory would be more credible if his math was better. What does he mean by Delta t^2? If he means (Delta t)^2, then he's wrong, as Delta x/(Delta t)^2 would be nonzero even if the motion is linear. If he means Delta(t^2), he's also wrong, as it would not be time-translation invariant.
But how do you generate the CAD files in the first place? And while I haven't found a price for it, I suspect that it's expensive, as well as overkill for the stuff I do (and Microsoft Windows only to boot).
Are people suffering simply because they have less than me? Am I suffering simply because I less than other people? And less what? Money? Intelligence? Anything?
Are you saying that not having as much (money?) as someone else is equivalent to being raped? Or that killing people will "solve" the "problem" of inequality? As for killing the rapist, that depends on what means I have to stop the rape. If I'm several hundred yards with a rifle (and I'm a good enough shot), then yes, I might kill him. If I can intervene effectively
Is having something that someone else doesn't have denying it to someone else? Is not having above-mean (above-median) wealth that much of problem as to lead to a miserable life?
For a man who uses his superior intelligence for his own benefit, rather than hiding it until he is in an environment where every man strives to ensure equality for every other man, does deserve death.
And people wonder why Atlas Shrugged is still selling. Indeed, what kind of equality can one achieve in the first place?
To destroy inequality is worth dying for.
Worth it to whom? I would not consider destroying inequality worth dying for. And even if it were worth dying for, would it be worth killing for?
The NT Hardware Abstraction Layer, file systems, network stacks, and device drivers are implemented separately from NTOS and loaded into kernel mode as dynamic libraries. Sources for these dynamic components are not included in the WRK. However, some are available in various development kits published by Microsoft, such as the Installable File System Kit and the Windows Driver Development Kit.
Which mean that you don't have the entire kernel. What if there is something from the unavailable portion of the kernel that affects the rest of the kernel?
Hey, Microsoft could make IE8 native, but they chose not too. As for comparing a native with a virtualized application, if the only way to run the app is virtually, then yes, it's as fair a comparison as one can get.

I don't believe I ever popped a girl's bra strap.
That makes me feel so much better about being beaten up.

How would UNIX be affected by pre-1968 errors?

But one can also generate SVG programmatically/scriptably. What kind of drawing programs did you mean, and how scriptable/programmable are they?
How does one search for scalable vector graphics that are in *.xml files?
SVG may be complicated for animations/interactivity, but static images aren't that hard to do.
Are they going to sue IHOP over WAFL technology?
All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom
So the particles are already there, but they're not matter.
We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind.
So Feynman was wrong for being an atheist?
When I lean on a wall, I don't fall through it.
Are there really solid things out there that exist the way we think of them?
The way I think about solidity, yes, many everyday objects, such as the table I am typing this on, are solid.
Are you saying that my post is cliché-based sophistry?
Atlas Shrugged is selling for the same reason superhero comics do: people like power fantasies.
Lenin, Hitler, Stalin, the Khmer Rouge, etc hardly needed Rand or comic books to achieve their power "fantasies".
Maybe we shouldn't be striving for equality, but for elevating the lowest?
Fair enough, but that isn't the parent of my post wanted.
Rand does mention professors burning the books of their libraries for fuel.

I don't know if Ubuntu is trying to clone Windows, but it's not a dismal failure.
A 14-hour flight in economy? I think my sanity would run out before my battery!
And the planes don't have electrical outlets?

Firefox runs on Mac OS; Internet Explore 8 doesn't (not natively, anyway, there's always Boot Camp).
that is a comparison.
And how is Internet Explorer 8 faster than Firefox on Mac?
Yep, so that would make Firefox faster, wouldn't it?
