Maybe it would give us hints about what to look for in other solar systems when looking for rocky planets with similar atmospheres?
How is the specific order of events that lead to the creation of our planet going to tell us anything about the creation of other planets?
Maybe it would tell us something about whether or not our type of atmosphere is rare in the universe?
I had to think about this one for a minute, but I realised that if we are having trouble figuring out what happened here how are we going to even begin to hazard a guess about what happened light years away?
Sure it might be useful, but this was a waste of funding and time. There are far more useful ways to spend research money.
This has zero relevance to our basic understanding of the formation of the planets. The atmosphere is from some part of space. Whether it is from asteroids more recently than the late stages of the earths formation is kind of useless information.
Yes some of the emails happened to be more interesting than the others. Would people stop trying to pretend like each and every email must indicate fraud for there to be any fraud?
It wasn't exactly efficiency that got them the low cost game. Basically they got a team of developers and had them worked to the bone to produce a game that initially would hardly run.
I don't know about Australia, but in the US malls are only public places until they file a no trespass order with the local police. Then the mall becomes off limits to that individual. I'm also fairly certain that they can throw out anybody they want, as long as they do not single out protected groups.
If it is in your interest not to be under surveillance while shopping then you will shop at a store which does not put you under surveillance, that store will do better and it's competitors will fail.
But lets be real, 99% of the population could not care less that someone is watching them shop and as such the stores really don't care that you don't like it.
And when every business participates in a facial ID program to help stop theft, the excuse will be "it's private property and everyone else does it." When cities start putting facial ID systems in public places the excuses will be "It's to help catch bad people, and anyway it already happens every place you go into, so we might as well connect it all and know where you are at all times."
Maybe that won't happen, but why the hell are we letting them risk it? This is to catch "thieves?" Give me a break. That's a stupid reason to start this crap.
Great, start your own store and cater to those who dont want to be filmed while shopping. Either you'll get rich or you'll get robbed blind, either way you'll have figured out how most people feel.
No, they can't. People's rights must be respected even in private property, that's why local bars can't install cameras on girls bathrooms. You can install facial recognition, but people can still walk on the street with glasses and a hat.
The only reason local bars cannot install cameras in the girls bathroom is the expectation of privacy. When you go to the mall you have no expectation of privacy outside of the bathroom.
The mall is perfectly within their rights to require people not wear disguises in the mall as well.
I don't know about Australia, but malls in the US are private property. They can and will issue a no trespass order against anybody who causes them problems (shoplifters mostly).
If you don't want to be entered into their surveillance system don't shop at their mall.
It's their property they can do what they want with it. It's no different from me running facial recognition against people who walk up my stairs. (which i dont do btw..)
This just shows that if ever linux did gain marketshare with casual people enough, the malware problem will be there too. Repositories won't help with that, because people want 3rd party programs and games.
Well that's why the goal is to get as much of the third party software into the repository as possible.
The fact that USA is a really big country doesn't really matter. Like USA, not all of Europe is heavy-density populated. Scandinavia for example has much smaller population density than USA, but in cities people get 100mbit/s to home, even 1gbit/s. If you're living off a city, 24mbit/s is common place. And no such bullshit than usage fees.
Yeah something tells me that if the US had almost 10,000 USD a year per person in oil revenues we'd be able to solve just about all of our social problems.citation

He keeps talking about how expensive the books are. Clearly he is just using this to scan other people's books to avoid paying.
Still a pretty cool build though :P
Yes because the way that a colony of bacteria reacts is totally similar to how a population of human beings would react.
Are they serious?
If Google is capable of this what do you think the NSA and friends are capable of?
As in the floods of noah and his lovely ark?

Honestly who cares?

Count yourself lucky my Quadros 140M won't.

Except a cruise missile costs about $500K dollars... so like 1/60th of these games

Are you serious? She is a public figure, at least under US law she is legally allowed to be basically stalked by people with cameras.

Yeah except Modern Warfare 2 didnt crash the first time I ran it.
Photos taken when people are busted shoplifting probably.

They are not mutually exclusive.
The goal is to get as much 3rd party software as possible into the repository, that is above the threshold for entry.
Why is this so hard to understand?
That's kind of the point...
So it's only 3000.00 USD per person per year BFD

Uh that's funny cause I still dont know where there is a .deb for 3.0? (Oh and I was fully aware of the name changes)
Don't you need a lot of copper to actualyl do anything useful with a battery?
Is'nt the world reserve of copper basically mined out?
