  1. Re:Ansible? on Chinese Physicists Achieve Quantum Teleportation Over 60 Miles · · Score: 1

    Too much has become real from science fiction, and it's scary. One little ferinstance, Jules Verne had "electric bullets" that were mocked for over a century, of course you couldn't put enough charge into a projectile to make a foe fall "as if struck by a thunderbolt", right? http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/gadgets/other-gadgets/taser-shotgun-shell1.htm

    PyDev for IDE, and there are others. you can call any C, java, common scripting language crypto library from python, what's the big deal?. There are static code analyzers, consult search engine. Java isn't maintainable long term, the language changes too much. write once, run for a awhile on the same version JVM or crap breaks. and god help you if you used IBM websphere or similar bloatware cesspool. Python has supported Unicode for over a decade

    how about "willing to share an automated bus?". Efficiency climbs with the number of passengers, assuming you can keep the vehicle loaded with people. maybe most the time it's automated taxis, and the automated buses are for rush hour or the airport/train station runs

    doesn't change the truth, that those winds don't change the true average global temperature at all. it only means our models are inaccurate, because we don't have the means to measure the entire heat content of the ocean.

    eh? java/j2ee is the bloated crapware that needs 3x the hardware to get a job done as other languages. I worked for a VAR, java/j2ee sells hardware. There are mature software stacks in plenty of languages, pick one. Python is a well designed language, runs from a VM, has mature frameworks and libraries: Flask, Django, Pylons or Pyramid. Note python also can run in the jvm.
