How many of us just want to believe otherwise, as the idea of it is so difficult to accept. I imagine that one could almost put a name to the mental behavior that so many of us have as we consider this.
It really _has_ always been about adapting, rather than avoiding. The bomb has already gone off, the walk of the meek is at hand.
We do not yet understand the laws of what we are yet to uncover. I believe the reason for doing is the reason for staying our hand. Perhaps not in most cases, but the sheer increase in energies being used in such powerful basic building blocks of the known universe, causes me to wonder if we have to be more than carefull with this one. And as stated so much here, the fact that micro black holes are not unexpected is disconcerting... Last time I checked, no one had sipped a cocktail relaxing on the beach as the event horizon set.
Does society need these experiments done?
When the experiment has critical calculations on critical risks so wrong (what was the factor?) wouldn't the need for review and recalculations of all systems and therefore need to re-prove the safety assertion they have made? And the micro black hole dilemma, does anyone know all the laws governing black holes?
Is it at all possible, that this experiment might suffer from overzealous and arrogant leadership, with the added momentum of so many institutions and individuals with minds that can be almost called giddy and compulsive in there thirst for knowledge... and patents.
Not only now, but since games have existed in mass there are examples of this mature growth. From Galaga to The Hobbit, Super Mario to Resident Evil and from Lego Batman to Dwarf Fortress.
Not only is there adult content, but also complex adult thinking games.
This article really just looks like a promo for them going for a new mature game soon.
'Investigators should presuppose the existence of a fully functional quantum computer and consider what algorithmic tasks are particularly well suited to such a machine.'
Presupposing the existence of new technology is the same process I (and I imagine others) use to think of new business idea's ahead of the curve.
Shoring up the nation's IT against spying is as easy as dumping the prevalent non free software used by most big dumb companies. This would also save the country hundreds of billions of dollars in licensing fees and other headaches unique to non free software. The problem is that it would make wiretapping very difficult or impossible.
Doing that would only stop the common 'script kiddie' type hacker from exploiting the nations IT (via pre-built tools and well documented methods), and even then only for a limited time. In effect it would prove to be more of a boon to 'serious' attempts to attack the nations business and military IT systems. FOSS software is swiss cheese for security, it's just that not many people eat it and therefore don't realise it has so many holes.
Mate, I just read through that afadavit and I can't understand your position that this is no truth in those stories.
All the information in that story that talks about relates to the information already gathered by under cover ops, and public domain (information from public videos and written intent on the website) over the course of time before any search.
I personally think those stories did not blow anything out of proportion, nor obscure the truth.
For documentation, I just like to point you back at the original links, the afadavit is a pretty strong source to verify the stories.
Thats incorrect. Blu-Ray using Java ME as it's development platform and is much better understood.
Perhaps you are thinking XBOX2 v PS3, rather than the formats.
Video overlay is supported on both, are you thinking something specific in the feature set? There are a few small features that are different on both however, but nothing that makes any real difference for either.
Blu-Ray also has a very large advantage when it comes to disc lifetime, which is likely why rental chains love Blu-Ray.
In my opinion as a consumer, the disc lifetime and the greater storage are probably the two most important features that differentiate the two formats.
When the Universe finishes it's expand and then shrinks 'again', you do realize that it will then big bang again, ad infinitum.
In fact, personally I think that it is almost certain that the exact same universe will be created again (when it finally contracts to the point of 'flip' rather than bang in my opinion). And we will all eventually exist again, and I will write this 'again', and you will read this again.
Although you and I may seem to have the ability to be quite random, with our our thoughts and our decisions. Every moment/action/change is born from the moment/action/change that preceded it.
It just makes sense yeah:)

They are quoting a different source to soften it up.
Are any of us truly surprised.

If your looking at a piece of swiss cheese, it's already got holes, so why not just keep taking bites out.
Got my popcorn ready for yellowstone.
Oh really.

I disagree with this guy Brice Morrison.

Chris.
but yea, isn't it that quantum computers are the next thing because they only give the superimposed electrons always take the path that's watched?
That string confused me, it must be quantum.

True.
However, it's quite devastating for someone that has some kind of genuine disorder to be made to feel hurt and not believed.
All I can say, is to anyone that might have such an issue. These forums are not the place to post them.

I remember breaking into Melbourne Uni Comp Sci building at night and playing till morning for years. Ahh to be 19 again.
It was a rampant PK Mud, with strong clans and fickle power tripping wizards. Can't say I have ever had as much fun.
Agreed.
Without sarcasm, I should of added 'Nearly all' at the start of that line.
And yes, any software with widespread adoption is much more likely to have built up it's immune system.
Nearly all of FOSS software has very limited adoption.
