What are the advantages of putting this on the moon rather than in space?
I suppose you don't need maneuvering jets, so can it can be sustained longer?
The meteorite craters you see on the moon are the result of billions of years of bombardment. Dust is not going to cover the telescope lens for a long time.
What we see in the centers of galaxies might not be black holes, but "almost" black holes--massive conglomerations of mass frozen in time, in the process of forming black holes which will never (in finite time) be complete.
No, that's not correct. Normal GR predicts that (in the frame of someone away from the BH) the person falling into the black hole will take an infinite amount of time to reach the event horizon. In GR infinite time isn't the same thing as never! In the frame of the person falling into the BH (the proper time frame,) the faller crosses the event horizon in finite time and hits the center quite quickly (for non-huge black holes).
The confusion and controversy lies in the concept of infinite time. Some take it to mean that black holes can't actually form (and must either be primordial or not exist). But infinite time might be a finite distance away due to weirdness with coordinates. An object falling through an event horizon might pass through infinite future and then travel back in time from the infinite future to the current. In the outside viewers frame, there might be two copies of the in-falling person, one inside and one outside. In this scenario, black holes can exist, and can contain the mass of stuff that falls into the hole...before it falls into the hole!
Or it could all be bullshit and artifact of a broken theory of gravity.
Nah, voting needs to be held to much higher standards than that, seeing as political parties have much more interest in tampering with e-voting software than airplane software. Only terrorists are interested in designing flaws into plane software, and I'm much more afraid of politicians than terrorists.
Don't you see? Bush happens to be a likely candidate to bring forth the next Seldon crisis. Of course, we cannot guarantee that Bush is the specific individual to instigate the crisis, but the crisis cannot be far in the future.
Junk snail mail is a terrible evil that we've all become too accustomed to to do anything about. Snail mail is controlled by a huge government monopoly, so there's not a whole lot I can do to change the situation, like going to another ISP.
I suppose, if the website publishes their methodology, then the rating number becomes a statement of fact. For example, if the foo rating is claimed to be equal to 10*fraction of cases won, then posting an incorrect foo rating is a false statement.
They really gotta start printing EULAs on the outside of the box, clearly visible. That's the only way they can be considered enforcible. Shame that there will be less room for any screenshots.
Are you writing a quick tool or an application? For a quick tool, sure, you want a nice explanatory error message. But for an application, you might want to do something different. You might want to ignore the message or do your own error handling.
Any programmer worth his salt can pick up a new language in a couple hours. Hell, most languages today are just ALGOL with some syntactical refinements, and you know one, you know them all. I'm not worried if Java or C or Matlab dies out. What separates programmers is ability, not language experience.
For this to work, there would need to be some standard for the level of punishment. It can't be all case by case, or it would be cruel and unusual. But if you treat all bad guys with equal cruelty, it's not unusual.
Your units (and your enemy's units!) should balk at being sent to fight against an impossible foe.
Sound's like a great idea for another game. But let's not turn Starcraft into that. Zerg certainly don't feel individual fear and Protoss are too proud to run. The Terrans are probably jacked up on stimpacks to quell their fear.

Of course. They downloaded the codes over the internets.

People don't associate Google with energy? I thought they need their server farm could black out a small city.

My name seems to bring up several scholars and doctors. Heh, it's not such a horrible association.

There is a system in place, according to TFA. It just costs an unreasonable amount ($2500).

In Soviet America, AI programs you!
The moderators were using irony in modding your post insightful. For your information, the GP was correctly calling this a case of situational irony.

- generate mathematical proofs for statements such as the Goldbach conjecture
- auto-generate code for the next version of Emacs

How do you "cease" something that you don't admit to doing?
In other words, do retailers pay the use tax?

Ask someone who was murdered, and get back with me on that. Oh, wait...
