Is it one of those genes that make you more likely to reach 100 but also make you more likely to die of a heart disease in your 40's? Seems like it's a rule when it comes to genetical reasons for longevity, the longer it allows you to live, the more likely it makes you to die young. No thanks.
I don't want to deal with another switch, and neither does anyone else. Plus, I don't think Apple wants to throw its years of work away after only two very successful years.
When on Earth did AMD CPUs stop being x86's? Mac OS X already runs natively on AMD PC's. All it takes for a CPU to run Mac OS X is to have the SSE3 instruction set (well, SSE2 is actually the strict minimum).
I'm afraid the people who modded you up are about as clueless about CPU's as you are.

Greetings, fellow time poster! I'm afraid you betrayed yourself by mentionning playing a game that is yet to come out. Please avoid doing such a mistake again, for if people of this time were to figure out our secret it might ruin the experience of the rest of us who decided to live in this era of time. Thank you.
If that breaks, then you know floor 13 is the answer
No, it's not because it doesn't break at floor 12 and breaks at floor 14 that you can determine whether or not it would break at floor 13. For your idea to work you would have to go up by 2's, and that would be higly inefficient since, considering that the break point is distributed normally, in average it'd take you 25 drops of the first marble plus 1 for the second marble.
It's much less efficient than going up by 10's with the first marble and once it breaks go up by 1 since the latest non breaking floor with the second marble, since it would take in average 10 drops.
Indeed. You take a fixed gap size for the first marble, and go 1 by 1 for the second. To find what is the optimal gapsize, you calculate how many drops in average (considering that the distribution of the break point is normal) you'll need for your first marble to break, which is 2*100/gapsize, and how many drops it'll take in average for your second marble to break, gapsize/2, and you add both results to obtain the mean number of drops needed in total in function of the gap size.
I found that a gapsize of 10 is the most optimal, since it takes in average 10 drops (5 of the first marble and 5 of the second)
You guys have american movies in english an subtitled in your language? That sucks, what country do you live in? Here in France the american movie dubbing industry is huge, and every american movie is properly dubbed, and most of the time it sounds better in french than in the original version.
You know what's the weirdest about their ads? It's that, as you pointed, they're local ads for stuff like a local comic books store, but worst part is that you see the same ad before every movie you watch at that theater for about 10 years! Which makes me think that these stores musn't pay that much money for their advertisement, with respect to the price of the ticket (often around 7 euros around here). Wouldn't they attract more people and thus make more money if they completely gave up on the ads?
Well, I've only had to complain about the two last points you provided, other than that I've hardly ever had to deal with any of that. Anyways, I agree with you, it doesn't seem like it has deteriorated, it's just that home theater is more interesting now. I'm not a movie person anyway, movies are way too long, I'm totally into series. I mean I never even found the time to watch 300 on my computer, as much as I wanna see it (in spite of its long duration).
It's no secret that the movie-going experience has been deteriorating
How so? What has changed? Are the seats less comfy? Is the pop corn less crunchy? Is the sound less ugh-please-turn-the-bass-down-or-i-am-going-to-bar fy? Or is it that the home theater experience is improving with respect to the real theater experience so it makes you say it's deteriorating?
The Democrats are a far-right party by the standards of the rest of the world.
Just testing my Ameridar.. it says you're a cliché liberal american who hardly knows much more about the rest of the world than any other american but who wants to sound like he does badly.
And how did you get to that conclusion, in other words, how do you estimate the planet's radius? It seems that if you consider it to have about the same density as Earth, the gravity at its surface should be more like 1.7 G.
I'm not sure I got it right, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one out here. Does it mean that we can communicate faster than c, even instantaneously, thanks to this?
lol, so, you just go around making Beowulf cluster jokes about anything you can? Man, you're the craziest frenchman I've ever seen, I know it, I'm french too;-).
And the USA don't suck as much as France, are you crazy? (based on my previous comment about your mental health I guess we can consider it a rhetorical question)
While everybody's busy showing off their fire weapon knowledge, am I the only one who was shocked by this retarded claim?
And some of the gear seems outdated, even before it goes off to war. The 400-MHz processor running the system would have been bleeding-edge -- in 1999.
You insensitive clod, you had 400 MHz CPU's in 1999 in desktop computers, not small embedded devices. What they have is much more comparable to a PDA, and 400 MHz is very good for a PDA, I recall you that a PSP runs by default at 333 MHz iirc, and then the system probably doesn't need much more CPU power anyways.
Well just what I said, you can say "in this precise point the pressure is 1015 hPa" and not "in this precise point the mass is 12.4 g". See, for you to measure mass, you gotta choose a volume of some precise stuff. If you choose to measure one atom you'll get quite a different mass than if you measure a million of them, as, for example, for pressure or temperature, it doesn't matter whether you take 1 cc or 10 cubic meters, you'll still get the same pressure and temperature.
Now as for what dimensions are, well, you can choose what they are to your convenience, only I wonder how you can represent mass as a dimension if you try to represent for example a 3 (space) dimensional area, unless of course you try to represent the mass of each atom, but it doesn't really make sense..
I thought we were talking about dimensions and gravity and stuff, but if you wanna talk about mass, let's talk about it.
I don't think that charge or spin have any influence on the mass of atoms, it seems that mass of matter is the sum of the masses of its electrons, protons and neutrons. And these particles are fundamental particles, and they have a mass, and it's like that, just accept it, lol. So yeah, to answer directly to your question, mass comes from these fundamental particles, period. And I know that cause I like to consult Wikipedia;-)
Oh and if mass is different from heat or pressure, that's because you measure/calculate the mass of an arbitrary volume of stuff, or of discrete objects, as you can point to any point anywhere you want and say "in this very point temperature is 23 C, pressure is 1015 hPa" but you can't say "in this very point mass is 5.6 kg"
Well, as for relativity, I'd say you'd need 3 more dimensions for gravity in order to represent the vector. However, these are not space dimensions. In other words, you do not need to know about the gravity vector in order to find a point in space. I mean it would be like saying "Point P is at 23.53,0.23,3.12 and its gravity vector is 0.32,1.56,0.08". We don't care where the gravity vector is.
what if mass itself is a dimension?
Well anything can be considered a dimension, heat, pressure, gravity. I got a preoblem with people who can't make a difference between a dimension and a space-dimension. Until I'm proven wrong, there are 3 space dimensions, period.
We need 3 dimensions because 2 dimensions would not allow you to locate something in space correctly and if you had 4 well the 4th dimension would be a function of the other dimensions, and thus would be completely superfluous and could obviously lead to incorrect coordinates. So yeah, 3 dimensions are needed, nothing much, nothing less.

The same reason you use RAID to help your data survive. Redundancy.
Or we could use the other aspect of RAID and use another planet for the human population to grow faster ;-).
