What did you smoke while reading it? And in what language did you read it? You do know that the english translations are far from "the real thing"? They only let you know what they want you to know.
Perhaps your smoke works with my favourite SF books, too?! Plx drop me a message!
A little bit unnoticed by the world outside of Europe, but Erdogan is transforming Turkey into a 4th Reich. Over 1700 imprisonments of members of other parties, politicians, journalists etc. during last week! Many public servants got dismissed, in total close to 20,000 people got imprisoned (for no just reason) during this year.
Against popular believe there are people who love long/think books. Against popular believe splitting a good long thick book into two books, is not that easy as the first book will be a kind of cliff hanger or the second book will need complicated introductions and back references to make sense as a solitaire read. Two books that only make real sense if read together should be in one volume. Or at least sold as two volumes in one box, where the second book just continues where the first one ended.
I downloaded a free set of eBooks from http://www.obooko.com/obooko_s... (the exact html page might vary as I'm logged in there) It is an excellent site with free (promotional?) eBooks sorted by over a dozen of genres.
The books are in an dystopian world, where companies rule, a bit of cyberpunk as the main characters are "augmented" for deep sea living (as in deeper than 3000m below the surface). Plenty of "mental" issues, twisted background lives of characters, strange drugs used to keep the population and/or police and/or mighty "in line". World wide surveillance (but the guys conducting it, bound by drugs to not "abuse" what they see... ) When a deadly microbe is threatening all human and most carbon based life, AIs running "mad", small scale wars break out and the mighties try to escape into isolated sanctums (not even knowing what exactly is going on) the dying are kept in country sized concentration camps...
A story much to complicated to really "enjoy" it (as a non native english reader), but certainly one of the best books I read in the last 10 years.
The entire fucking point of a "reactionless drive" is that it violates CoM. That is wrong. If you think it violates CoM, then proof it!
That's what "reactionless" means. No, that is not what it means. It is a layman term with runs down to an abbreviation of "it does not eject reaction mass"
It's not like multiple independent lines of evidence and every physical theory we have say this is impossible.I guess you wanted to word that different. AFAIK there is no physical theory that makes EM drives impossible. Hence reputated institutions are doing research on them.
but if it did work, it would violate CoM/CoE. First of all: the idea it could violate CoE is absurd. Secondly: if it works it most certainly will "push out" some particles. And hence it wont violate CoM either.
What is up to see is: does it work? And with current power consumption per yield it is unlikely we ever will use it in earth orbit. I guess the pressure of particles from the sun is already higher than the current thrust.
On the other hand with the upcoming "micro probes" or "micro satellites" we might use them for asteroid and comet explorations etc.
Anyway: if you can write down a few formulas why an EM drive violates CoE;D you probably get a Nobel Prize:D
That it is not violating CoM is self evident, or it would not produce thrust. (* facepalm *)
My town is "Karlsruhe/Germany" I believe I wrote that.
We have one "super mayor" as the "head of town" and sub mayors either for regions/parts of the city or special resorts, e.g. urban development.
Bottom line: as soon as the idiots are in power you can't do anything about them. Except finding an issue where you have a chance to sue them out of position (never happened in my country).
So there is no real point in remembering their names. The winners of the previous election are always some guys I never had voted for or if I was voting, did not vote for.
You always could change the look and feel to platform. And that usually was "good enough". Many programmers where to lacy and used a standard one, don't remember how it was called.
I think the main reason Java was perceived "sluggish" was that many mediocre programmers could use it easy where C++/MFC e.g. on windows was a kind of complicated issue.
Why don't you simply stop watching local US news and watch global news instead? E.g. BBC or something? Then you would know that basically everything you quoted from him in that few paragraphs is wrong.
And I'm for my part are to tired to point that out all the time. Tropical storms in the Pacific are more and more server, increasing since decades in power and more important in frequency. (The fact that they are more frequent, prevents them right now from being significantly more powerful)
I have plenty of friends in Thailand and Phillipines... so I'm more concerned about that area than you are:D
As a general place Alaska is quite huge. Anyway, the amount of darkness is not really the problem. The question is if there is enough time with daylight and enough temperature to grow.
Alaska clearly has that, the south pole clearly not. Regardless if it is bottom line warmer there, with current position of Antarctica it is unlikely it can get a few days above 0C even if the earth temperature increases dramatically.
The forests the parent talked about are probably older than 170M years, no idea. Point is: the forests that grew in Antarctica did so before it was at the current position. And having a position similar to Alaska is enough to have forests, that last.
Regarding your Dr. Scootes, no idea if the video is wrong. The conclusion of our parent is wrong.
65M years ago Antarctica collided with Australia and both were relatively close at the equator and not at the south pole. AFAIK it was at the south pole (or close to it) once before that time, and now again after that time.
I'm pretty sure you can change in the systems settings that the "stripe" shows the normal F-keys and ESC key all the time. Then you don't need to hit fn- and ESC is always on the left.
Most of my laptops have batteries older than 4 years and the runtime is just fine. My 2011 17" still runs close to 2h, and I doubt it was once over 2.5h My ages old PowerBook Pro or how it was called (the 2" thick / 11" screen model) once got its battery replaced. The only drawback of it is: it only runs 10.4 and has no support for WPA 2 WiFi keys. But it is on ethernet most of the time anyway:D
I can not longer simply close my laptop and wake it up buy opening it without having a crash after 4 to 6 weeks. And it gets noticeable slow and causes a a so called kernel task to consume 75% or more CPU.
It is related to the amount (about 100) and age of tabs. Ofc eating CPU will kill the battery. As I'm usually using my laptop connected to the grid, that is not an issue, but the slowing down is an issue and the constant spinning of the fans.
I had a 15" laptop from my company a few month ago, running 10.10, it seemed to have the same issue, but only one core was eating the CPU, so the impact did not feel that bad.
If they can't name the mayor of their town or city- no vote. What has knowing any persons name to do with voting? Especially if it is about presidentship? I have no clue what the names of my roughly 25 mayors of my town (Karlsruhe/Germany) are (because I don't care about the bullshit they create...). Nevertheless I want to have a vote in my countries destiny.
Rubbish. Demand is defined as the quantity people are willing and able to buy at a specific price.
Demand is defined by what the word "demand" means in an english dictionary. And that has absolutely nothing to do with the price people want to pay for it.
The demand would not change at all if you change the price. It is only that more and more people can not afford the price anymore, so probably the inquiries and google searches for such a flight go down leading to your false assumption the demand would have vanished.
If bread prices are to high, the demand is only fitting the supply when the beggars have starved off... not when you change the price for the bread:-/
I forgot: the airline would either raise the ticket prices on that flight: it can't. Then it would no longer be competitive with those that don't rise the peices. or add extra flights to the route. For that it would need: a) buy a slot for that flit from the air traffic authorities b) have a plane (last time I checked they cost a 'couple' of millions c) have a crew, and depending on distance a second or third crew to keep the plane flying when the other crews have their mandatory rest
The story makes no sense, and I don't believe it. Because you never digged into the topic. You can not simply take a plane and let it fly from X to Y... not even in a third world country.
It was obviously not the 'single' same flight, but basically every flight of most american airlines. You are old enough to know people who did that, too. Even I know people who did that in the USA, and I live in Europe. Overbookiing is here forbidden... for a reason.
I second that. A friend of mine did the same. They were actually a small traveling group of about 3 and used to get the original tickets replaced, either for a later flight or in cash, about $50 for the invonvenience and often a hotel voucher or vouchers for some shows (and often they earned the miles for the flights not taken) That was around the mid 1990s. He did not 'finance his studies' in the US that way, but his holidays. What do you exactly care where you exactly fly to next days when you can fly for free, get money on top etc. if you are a 25 year old tourist?
First of all, North Korea is not socialistic. They are a military dictatorship, in case you lived the last 50 years under the rock. I believe they even call them self communists... but well a dictator can call his reign how ever he wants and is not oblieged to use the words in the way the dictionary defines them. Also I bet the markets in NK are pretty capitalistic...
And secondly: plenty of medical innovation indeed comes from Cuba. You indeed live under a rock, do you?
Slashdot Mirror
Oh, that really sucks! It is even worth than I thought then.
I mean I buy a laptop to _not_ carry around an external keyboard :-/
What I don't get is: if they really think such a thing is cool, why not add it on top of the F-key instead of replacing them ...

That's because they hardly ever get to see any Java GUI applications.

t is a bit harsh of a suggestion to switch to Un*x when a merfe reboot of your windows system would do the trick!
Or a reinstall ... ...
Don't forget to wipe the RegistrY
So you don't know what your interpret is doing with JSON, even after you wrote it yourself?
And "do_something_with" is not an interpreter?
Hm ...
Oh, gosh did you really write that nonsense?
