Yes, and it's a great thing to learn on a personal level. I guess Hawking just discovered that personal revelation. Still very surprised that he's saying this as a universal truth though. There's a big difference between the wisdom and humility to accept that you personally can't answer every question, and the assumption that because you personally can't, our entire species never will.
I would have been more surprised to find out that there was one master 'bone gene' that proportionally scaled all bone structures in the body.
Agreed. Especially since we can see plenty of species where the scaling has happened on individual limbs. Dinosaurs' short arms, fiddler crabs' long/large single arm, kangaroos' short arms and/or big legs, giraffe necks, etc...
Although a combination would be impressive; if there was a single scaling master gene, plus limb-/bone-leve adjustments, that would be a very flexible (no pun intended) setup, as good as one might set out to design.
You did? Awesome. I tried to convince my chemistry teacher in high school to do it, but he wimped out:/ Granted, I wasn't asking ENTIRELY out of innocent chemistry fascination at the time;)
How is the EE/CS change working out for you? Seems to me it might be just as boring in different ways. No?
you can't name me a single solitary industry which government controls every aspect of it, including marketing, distribution, R&D, and everything else (which is the definition of socialism.)
Non-IT Companies like Ford doesn't need to be on a list like this at all. Apart from a a few WAN IPs, a webserver, and a mailserver, they could probably put their whole network behind NAT, and no one would notice.
Dude. Do you really think some young woman is going to pick up your resume, read "LaTeX", and think "Oh, OK, he wrote 'latex' with lots of changes in case, like those weird internet kids do, so it must be perfectly normal, and not what it sounds like at all..."?
p.s.: I could have responded to your first comment on this with a simple "whoosh" if you prefer, since the whole point is that it's deliberately over the top.
No, linguistic correctness is a function of accepted common practice. If it wasn't you'd still be grunting and claiming that all properly formed words were wrong. Grow up.

More importantly... doesn't this come under price fixing?
This algorithm appears to be buggy.

No, they're doing the same thing that's worked for them all along: locking entire communities into their platform.
More and more, I think this poor choice is intentional, to elicit this exact response.
Yes.

Keep telling yourself that.
Rarrr. Rarr-rarr, moo rarr.

You know, I think you may have just identified the single overriding factor that will determine humanity's destiny, at least in terms of biology.

Err, no, it's not.
It sounds slow, but what you don't realise is that they're scaling down that hard drive in realtime.
Quick and easy nitroglycerin production?
Because we're only now getting hungry and desperate enough to in-fight and point fingers over the stringy remains of IPv4.

So a movie isn't a movie until it's been to a festival? Is that like a rite of passage?

Ah, apologies. I was skimming your post and misread that as you forswearing contractions :)
FTFY.
You mean, as a server? ;)
No seriously, I agree. Most sites/software are inaccessible crap. They really shouldn't let graphic designers/animators build sites.
That says it all really.

And if you doubt accepted common practice, google is your friend.
