The problem is, that once it's known what's going to happen, the arbitage people will make it happen sooner, and sooner, until it becomes faster to predict again.
It's like if next weeks lottery numbers were printed in a newpaper, everyone buys tickets with those same numbers, so that a $1 ticket wins a one two-millionth share of a million dollars...
Tax money paying for child prostitutes was pretty 'earth shaking' for me... what do you want, proof that the NSA's secret sub-sonic earthquake machine accidently hit Turkey instead of Iran?
So... anyone else seen the last two episode of 'The Sarah Jane Adventures'?
Summary (with minimal spoilers): The charismatic head of a tech company releases a new portable computer that's utter crap ("Bog Standard"), but his hypnotic charisma makes everyone love it... I wonder who that was a take on?
The actress playing Sarah Jane Smith, sadly, died after filming that episode.
I've been wondering, how much of an impact on Global Warming does paper recycling have?
If, instead of reusing the wood fibers, they got buried ('sequestered') in landfills, and more trees were harvested, and replanted to make paper instead.
My understanding is that young, fast-growing trees suck more carbon out of the atmosphere than lazy old growth trees. I also read that trees grow faster with more CO2 available, and that thanks to the carbon we've released, trees are growing at the fastest rate in centuries.
Different groups use different tools, many new projects use TFS features, older ones use an internal tool, I havn't heard of anyone using Perforce, but I havn't been looking particularly.
My thought for why the Machine kept humans alive in the Martix was due to Asimov's Zero'th law.
The machines are programmed, in their very core to protect humanity. They are not allowed to reprogram themselves otherwise, (Agent Smith being an exceptional problem that shouldn't have occured.)
Humanity was destroying itself/each other. Was the blotting out of the Sun effective vs. the Machines? No. Other humans? Probably.
So they stopped all human wars, starvation, disease, and put everyone into a happy simulation. (which didn't work out, so they put them into a more realistic one.)
Those who break out of the simulation must be stopped, even if it means killing a few humans to protect the larger number of humans.

Same logic applies to being behind on child support, you go to jail (debtor prison?) until you catch up... good luck doing that while in jail.
For the patent application.
I'm not a gun expert by far, but... is high accuracy really applicable to a shotgun?

It turns out that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere helps neutralize the radiation, like the carbon rods in a reactor!
two and a half tons of what?, that's like 15 americans.
Actually, I'd say it's MORE important, due to all the virus/worm risks of a networked system.
Who else expects Diablo 3 to have 'micro' transactions? (and possibly free-to-play within a year of release)
Rainman.
Definently 25,000,000 bees, Definently... time for Wapner.
I've long thought that an Apple/Nintendo partnership on a device would be market dominating, even befor the Wii/iPhone.
But there are probably big egos at both companies that would make it impossible (Apple/Nintendo, vs Nintendo/Apple...)
reguarding point three, I was think he should get support from North Korea.

I would pay good money (as opposed to Bitcoins) to listen to James Earl Jones and Morgan Freeman have a conversation about types of cheese.
Question: How fast of a modem can he 'read' ascii from? 110, 300, 2400?
It might be a 'tragic' accident because of the 8 year old in the van with him. Sadly, duct tape isn't the same as a seat belt.

"less controversial" does not mean safer.

So... what does Finland do with blind and mentally disabled people, to have zero illiterate people?
Is it like the no gays in Iran?
How can something be both Invisible, AND Pink?
You can't hug your children with Nuclear Arms.
I would not be surprised if Sealand made it so.
Seriously, what did you expect?
