Hold on a minute. If it's possible to simulate qubits using, at the bottom, bits, and, if qubits and quantum computing allow for performing NP calcs in parametric time (and hence breaking crypto), then haven't we already been able to do all of these things for decades?
I don't know how it works in America, but under English law there are defined tracing rules that govern what gets spent where. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracing_(law)
I didn't say that. I just don't think the Magna Carta had the effect you think it did.
The Glorious Revolution of 1688 on the other hand was about when power shifted from the Crown to Parliament, legally anyway. Obviously the Civil War etc had huge practical effects before that.
What Magna Carta did was to introduce the concept of the rule of law; it did not arrogate the powers of the monarch to the barons/representatives or whatever it is you're trying to say.
I see your point, but you can't keep repeating the phrase 'Magna Carta', especially as we got rid of it just now.
Umm, did you really just say that?
First, the UK didn't exist in 1215. Second, there is absolutely no way in which you can argue that England has been a republic since 1215.
So people who don't speak perfect english shouldn't post on Slashdot? Don't get me wrong, I like the idea, but many would argue that blocking all US traffic would be a good start.
Maybe people, god help them, read this and other sites to improve their english? Perhaps we should be tolerant of them? My German and French aren't perfect, but when I go there and make an effort to speak the language they tend to be helpful and friendly; they don't tell me to fuck off home till I'm perfect.
Of course it's almost impossible to become fluent in a language without trying to communicate with native speakers, but don't let that worry you.
The widow has asked a guy to write a book. No one is forcing anyone to read it. Ignore it the way I've ignored most of the H2G2 stuff since the radio series.
From what i understood, this is simply an easier kind of motion capture that works straight from video without the need for sensors etc. That's not the same as creative animation, you still need a real person talking and moving.
I'm sorry, they do sell large capacity hard drive players AND lower capacity flash players for a reason. Why the fuck would you want to argue with someone who has different needs or preferences to you?
The Edgeware Road?
Seriously though, your entire argument comes down to the fact that old people have money the privacy of their own homes, pubs, bars, clubs etc in which they can socialise and have a good time. Adolescents don't. Most large groups of young people in this country are completely harmless, and if the tabloids didn't spend so much time lying about the true incidence of crime in this country people wouldn't walk around in fear the whole time.
Please write to your MP if you disagree with these proposals. There are a lot of us, and it might just make them think twice before blindly pushing this legislation through.
That explains a lot. Similarly, someone mentioned that Trollope used a clipboard and stopwatch to write his novels. The effects of this, are clearly visible in the texts. Johnson used to handwrite drafts at the last minute, with a boy running each page to the printer as he finished it, and again, you can see the effects of this in his essays.
Just because talented writers can write no matter what, it doesn't mean that the style and content of their work isn't affected by the methods they use, and the environments in which they work.
As you approach the speed of light, the mass of the particles will increase. Thus the energy of particles could, assuming the system is really that simple, increase indefinitely.
Why? Knowledge isn't democratic. Democracy is the only halfway decent system of long term government, but that doesn't mean that it can be applied in any situation. No doubt, the structure at Wikipedia could be improved, and greater transparency is always welcome, but I don't see why anyone should be haunted, for saying that a website isn't democratic.
To answer number one; because if you walk away while something is loading you never want to come back to find someone has killed you and you have reload.
Two; no idea. They're morons who hate us.
Three; because people like it. It defines the show, helps to imprint it on the public consciousness. Good theme tunes are awesome. Though I have to say that opening credits should be shorter on the whole.
Please tell me you didn't just call slashdot a 'factual' and 'educational' publication.
I think that only you could be messed with in this fashion. Everyone else giggled and got on with their day. Or touched themselves.
Really? So it would be acceptable for a supermarket manager to refuse to sell fat people chocolate?
There are many reasons why people get bad grades and the moron who couldn't get a job as anything better than the manager of a games store is not the person I want judging a child's academic or intellectual ability.

Correction is fine; telling them they shouldn't be here isn't. That clearer?

I don't think you know what quantum coupling means.
So she must have done something to be arrested? You have innocent before proven guilty in Canada too, right? Not just innocent before arrested.

Why?

And so we give jobs to the ones stupid enought to get caught?
Who the fuck is going to deny someone a job based on the fact that they once got drunk?

No. Black holes with a low mass evaporate. They do not magically get bigger and swallow up everything.

If they were sober when they bought it. It's not a crime to be an alcoholic.

But then the game would have to be developed by people who don't really appreciate it. That's a recipe for mediocrity.
