I can see that, for example, babies born in the Winter might tend to have a different personality to babies born in the Summer. So you might find some correlation between star signs and personality types. That's different from thinking that the constellations can effect your life though.
Taking bad examples of code and using them as proof that the other method is good is hardly a convincing argument for Hungarian. I can see how it's useful for some langauges, but C++? Someone enlighten me: What is a convincing argument for using Hungarian in a strongly typed language?
'It honestly doesn't occur to them,' said Ford. 'They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates to the government they want.'
'You mean they actually vote for the lizards?'
'Oh yes,' said Ford with a shrug, 'of course.'
'But,' said Arthur, going for the big one again, 'why?'
'Because if they didn't vote for a lizard,' said Ford, 'the wrong lizard might get in.
Still, it's better than living in Iran and Afghanistan.
Doesn't this also allow women to reproduce without the need of female companionship? Just make sperm from your own marrow and use this to fertilise your own eggs. Of course the daughter would then be a clone of the mother. But she would only inherit birth defeats, not engender new ones.
Those two gravity events are outside the light cone. Other observers can see those events differently. For example, another observer can see that the gravity increased at the "receiver" before it was "generated". If you can send information that way, then someone else can send information backwards in time.
How do you know the original proton hasn't moved? The particles are identical except for their state. You can swap just the protons around as much as you like (what you call "teleporting") and it would make no difference whatsoever. Your "teleporting" has no physical reality.
My thoughts are that if it's at all possible that the original could be preserved - even in theory - then the destination person must be identical to a copy. That is, the original, if destroyed, would now be dead. Interestingly, Quantum Theory indicates that preserving the original is not possible when transferring a complete quantum state from source to destination, and teleportation would occur instead of destruction after duplication.
Disbelief is warranted when the evidence is against a proposition. Since you cannot prove whether God exists or not using logic, saying that He doesn't exist is a logical fallacy.
Why would going up the mountain, taking a look, and then telling someone about it, be a logical fallacy?
If there was complete causality it would contradict one of two things: universal laws and cause preceding effect. The most successful description of reality we have indicates that some things don't have a cause and therefore some effects are absolutely random. This is aside from the logical conclusion that a universe has no cause.
To be fair, your website doesn't display a blank screen. On my client, at least, it displays "Error: No Flash!" on an otherwise blank page. Astonishingly some websites have blank pages for their website's entry page! These might be what the parent to your post is describing. The kind of website that works on the webdesigner's computer and by luck on anything else.
Completely agree. Keyboards are designed to have your fingers over ASDF. So, unless you have a bad keyboard, ESDF will always be the most efficient position (with the normal arrangement of movement keys) for your left hand.

It's not the fact it's being fixed. It's the fact that they still don't care about the player. The product you get with that attitude to game design speaks for itself.
Bad teams are easy to predict. But take a typical game where the terrorists have to bomb one of two sites within a time limit to win, and the counter-strike team has to defend them (There are also winning conditions related to eliminating the enemy team). If the counter-terrorist side knows which way the terrorists are going to take the bomb, they gain the advantage of only having to defend one site. However, if the terrorists know which way the counter-terrorists are going to go, they can pick the bomb-site that's easier to reach. It's impossible for both sides to accurately predict the other without their behaviour changing from their predicted behaviour, assuming they play to win.
Also consider what happens if the terrorists pick a bomb-site at random. This is advantageous for the terrorists, as the counter-terrorists can no longer predict which bomb-site to defend. They have a number of strategies left to them: They can attempt to defend both sites by splitting their forces. They can defend one site initially and hope to be able to assault the second if it comes under attack. They can try to gain intelligence on the movement of the terrorists, often by sacrificing men. Any game where random choice is the most effective strategy, can no longer be considered predictable. The simpler game of just shooting a terrorist can become unpredictable, once you consider that a randomly moving target is harder to hit than a predictable one.
A couple of buttons is certainly a tactile improvement to a touchscreen, but a volume knob would be better where practical. A button for the mute I agree with, especially if it stays depressed for mute, until you press it again. Force feedback is interesting but nothing beats good hardware for the more permanent aspects of a user interface.
There are some fields where I doubt this would work, as you'd be looking for talent in too small a pool. Astronomy is a good example of amateurs doing good science, but no one would want the situation where there were only amateur astronomers. Particle physics would be dead. Theoretical physics wouldn't have the experimental results it needs, and would just be an exercise in mathematics. A lot of other pure science would die or be limited. All that would be left would be some slowly progressing pure science, and science for short-term profit.

Is there a limit? How many times can you go around a circle?
And, what kicked it off to begin with?It's cycles all the way back.
I think it's better for the artists if there isn't any financial incentive to see them dead.

They did, unfortunately the calculations were only accurate for spherical tigers leaping in a vacuum.

This will be after they engineer a perpetual motion machine.
Is it worth getting a small one and using it for swap? In other words: Is it faster than a normal HDD? And how long would it last (with this usage)?

Amazon UK don't seem to have that in stock. They do, however, have the Anarchist's Cookbook.
It's odd how you can steal something without depriving anyone of their property.

You can regard rights as irresistible forces, but laws certainly aren't unmovable objects.
