Well, I once read a concept paper about it. But I din't find it anymore. My google fu is leaving me.
The idea was to have a cone like chunk of hard coal, with the probe in its tip. You drop that with its backend towards our sun. The coal will evaporate and accelerate the probe to roughly 0.2c.
Not sure about the shape, a kind of disk like shape ist likely more suited, as the sun is pretty big that close and you don't want it shine on the probe.
I actually hate this icon mania, especially in IDEs. Most icons are random coloured bollocks which I don't care to memorize. OTOH I'm a 'whole word / half sentence' reader. Scanning a bunch of tabs takes no time. Then again I also use AppleScript(s), just google for FindTab AppleScript.
And finally, stop implying that your usage of a computer is in any way professional when you can not adapt to its features. Hint: more windows (e.g. one per search) and less tabs, e.g. one per search result.
What really is anoying in all browsers that the windows menu display the title of the window with the URL added to the right. I want At least the domain first. It takes ages to find the single window that is displaying slashdot.org (but well that is why I got a FindTab-script:P )
And you mix a few things up about defective, it is the males who have a defect genome, hence they are males and not female. So besides the obvious brain defect you seem to have (or why are you so insulting?) you definitly have an Y chromosome were females have an X.
And you know that: how? Can you point out two data points? The originally recorded one and the 'corrected' one? You see... you are not as smart as you think but just repeating stupid myths.
You are not comparing apples with oranges but potatoes. Anyway your rant simply shows that you are not interesting in solving the problem, but are willing to accept it and want others to deal with it, too. Luckily all the problems you imply, like walking around at 3am or let the kids walk home from school, don't exist in the world I live in. Being able to say it was wrong after the damage occurs doesn't reverse it No one is talking about reversing it. Taking the photos down and punishing the culprit is enough.
True. But I was more considering civil uses if a recreational boat is 'lost' and not tactical situations:) And in such cases people have usually no material at hand to make a home build bearing device.
I guess I need a book about that.... after I made my SRC license.
No, they are not. E.g. with overridden virtual methods, you usually have to link all of them as you can not statically decide which will be called in the end.
Only part of AIS is gone (actually not really). The ship will still maintain its heading and speed information and react on radar pings from other ships. Time information from GPS is not super important, ships have clocks, too. And the more important satellites are those related to the AIS system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... However: in case the GPS satellites are jammed, AIS is probably, too.... and even more important: in such cases you likely want to switch off AIS anyway (yes that is strictly speaking illegal, but if I have to go through a pirate infested area I would probably switch AIS off)
If we are only talking about small boats, then they don't have the equipment to get a bearing on a radio station on land. You could try a loop antenna, but in the scenario I described before the actual antenna would be in the mast (for range) and you would need to climb up there and hold a loop antenna to get a bearing (I simplified)
Oh, no worries, it will be available in your country. But as soon as you are on vacation in a different country the app or the browser won't work anymore unless you use a VPN (which is probably against the terms of service). Not to mention the wasted money for your plan while you are on vacation.
There are also coastal radio stations. If you have an rough idea where you are (which you always should have), you call a few of them and ask if they pick you up. From the answers you can estimate how far you are to each of them and hence get a good estimate (+/- 5 nm) for your position. If they were fancy, which they probably are in disaster situations, they even can get a bearing on you and you can pinpoint your position quite accurately.
Anyway, my sailing career is pretty fresh:D only about 1000nm so far.
Every ocean going big vessel has several sextants.
C: The sea is enormously more crowded than it was in centuries past. The relatively low accuracy of these methods is no longer good enough. What has crowdedness to do with GPS? Ships see each other by radar, AIS, and lights. And they use radio to negotiate if that is necessary. GPS only tells me where I am, and nothing else (of course it calculates heading and speed from repeated positions), in particular it does not tell me anything about other traffic.
They actually have high navigation skills, without them they would not get the degree. Close to the coast everything is full with buoys, lighthouses and other marks anyway. GPS is more for the lazy, and of course 'course plotters'. It is important to know that GPS can easy be up to 40 meters off, which is e.g. important in the northern baltic sea. Usually your GPS receiver can be 'programmed' to correct for such offsets.
What about the Medieval Warm Period? Which of them? There where three. It was global, and it was warmer than today. How global they were is still depabet. None of them was warmer thn today. That is a/. myth. What caused the warming from 1910 to 1940 I'm mot aware about a particular warming, besides the warming caused by CO2 during that period. Compared to today it was actually relatively cold, at least in winters. What caused the global cooling from 1945 to 1975? The sulfur emmissions from coal power plants. Don't you learn anything in school at your place?
If the thing is complete it would work, but then again likely parts are missing. Most likely we can not get the electronics and compiters again. If the software is still available we could emulate it on modern hardware, though.

It might be common but it is not normal.

Depends on the source.
And actually, I would be to lazy to attack anyone.

As far as I understand it, you can not install a shared library to be used by more than one App.
A App itself can have an *.so in its lib folder, so.
The only true shared *.so's are those provided by Apple and preinstalled on the iOS device like UILib.

iOS requires Apps to be static linked.
There is no dynamic linking AFAIK.
In OO languages it is a bit difficult to see which code is truly unreachable, unless for obvious cases, of course.

And you are fortunately smart enough to have figured that.
Thank you!
The climate scientists I know have diploma, master or PhDs in meteology or physics, some in chemistry.
Many in the other hand are mathematicians.
You must hang out with pretty weird climate scientists if you believe they are no scientists.
I studied computer science, too. Btw.
