Some fear the forced introduction to a "cashless society", and maybe I do as well. However, If such is the unavoidable future, I'd rather it be in bitcoin.
Because you'd rather be traceable by everytone, rather than just by your bank?
Spammers have botnets to do their posting from. No IP-based approach is ever going to work on them, as they have a huge number of IP addresses readily available, and evenly distributed across the address space.
That is definitely not true. Radioactive decay through electron capture is well known to depend on external factors, including pressure and temperature. Inverse beta decay is an induced decay which depends entirely on an external neutrino flux, such as that from the sun.
No, 70% goes into buying games, and 30% goes somewhere else. The "brand new" makes it sound like it's new games, but there's no reason to take that at face value, as it might just as well be "brand new" as in "games the buy didn't have before".
It is pretty condescending of you to suggest they have been "blindly trusting" anyone up until now.
And I am somewhat unclear on how the fact that a company forced its employees to lie and put them at risk is going to make them distrustful of the government?
I have no idea what you are even talking about any longer.
This is a first experimental verification of a theoretical result. It fits what was expected. It is not enough for a solid confirmation yet, but for it to be false would be quite unexpected and surprising. We are not expecting further experiments to disprove this.
Why are you so upset over a tiny little chance that maybe this will turn out to be a different particle, and that a few professors would have wasted a couple months of work on that?
They'll want to check that you are not submitting utter garbage that will make them look bad. They are not going to, and can not possibly, check for every possible bug, just that it looks good enough.
It is not confirmed, but it is not expected to not be confirmed, so nothing lost by starting on the theoretical work ahead of the confirmations. In the unlikely case it turns out to be something else, we can just start over.

XHTML is pretty much dead, and has been for years.
America is pressuring the UK to send Assange to Sweden?
They can ask to inspect it, and if the request is refused, they can refuse to let the bag pass.
Diplomatic bags are only subject to protection when actually used for diplomatic purposes. Not when smuggling people.
This is because unless he has a really miraculously good excuse, they are going to arrest him after questioning. This can not be done over the phone.
But then, maybe I'm missing what was so great about the Raspberry Pi.
Well, for one, it's not a Cortex-M3.
Specifically, comedy gold.

Trying to make money off pirates.
Great plan.
Yes, the UK is doing the US's bidding by... sending Assange to Sweden.
That makes so much more sense than something silly like sending him to the US.

And of course, some part of that 17% is used sales, where the money goes straight into Gamestop's own pockets.

That it will take only a couple of months to replicate and prove. It may take years especially if funding get diverted to post-Higgs bosun study.
What funds are going to be diverted? Are we suddenly going to start paying professors more money?
Also, if you can't even spell "boson", are you really sure you are qualified to talk about the value or likelihoods of these results?

I doubt the verification is advertised as a Microsoft finding your bugs for you.
they charged him for the dev kit,
Ok, they owe him a dev kit.
and the fee to publish on XBLA, plus their part of the profits from the game sold,
Which is one and the same, so they owe him the publishing of his game.
plus the tens of thousands he paid them to certify the first patch
And they owe him a verification of the first patch.
Are you saying they have not delivered on any of these?
You are exaggerating to an incredible degree here.
You think those people wouldn't be paid if they weren't working on the Higgs results?
Indeed, the FBI has your back:
FBI spokesman Jason Pack said it did not appear the incident was related to terrorism.
If it had said "he", would you have made a similar post?
You seem to have missed the word "theoretical" in my post.
