Yeah, but if I don't register or vote, others will choose for me. And if I register and vote, I would like to be able to select those who will represent me. In my country it's possible. In USA there are only two parties, so it's not possible.
Universe expansion is faster. So if it in reality is slower than we observe, then time must be slowing down. If dt is shrinking, dx/dt is growing. But it may not be so simple, IANAM.
Or they just aren't fit. I'm cycling only about 100km/month and would have about 1.5w/kg. It's not like a normal person not doing excercise could do 200w for hours.
Maybe it wouldn't make any difference to an animal, but I have psychological investment in the existential.
I'm suicidal you insensitive clod!
On a serious side, not everyone is scared entire universe would just end. What if you are hit by a car? Then for you universe ends.
Yes but why Vit C is a point against space travel is beyond me. It's like saying that people shouldn't fly because they don't have wings. If someone has to make long travel, he takes food and vitamins with himself.
Your post is a little moot. EVERY organism on earth is meant to stay on earth. Every voyage to the stars is limited by water, food and oxygen. Vitamin C is least of your worries as you can just take a few kilograms of pure Vit C. It's so cheap it is even used as a preservative in many many foods. But you can't live JUST on it.
...while all the clever folks have already started writing their scalable applications in something reasonable, like Erlang?
From erlang site:
1.4. What sort of problems is Erlang not particularly suitable for?
People use Erlang for all sorts of surprising things, for instance to communicate with X11 at the protocol level, but, there are some common situations where Erlang is not likely to be the language of choice.
The most common class of 'less suitable' problems is characterised by performance being a prime requirement and constant-factors having a large effect on performance. Typical examples are image processing, signal processing, sorting large volumes of data and low-level protocol termination.
Actually it could be easy to block ONLY sonic ads. They are transmitting them with ultrasounds. So earplugs can filter sounds which are transmitted through ultrasounds but leave all other intact.
Everyone is offended by other thing. I don't know why it's racist to say that you will sell shotgun to every american or for some other nation. Are americans not responsible enough to have a shotgun? My post is not intended to offend anyone, but I'm merely saying that you may be offended by things which do not offend me.
My point is that having to buy very specific devices in order to achieve a usable system does not make Ubuntu an 'it just works' operating system on common hardware; at best it makes it an 'it just works' operating system on restricted hardware, in the same vein as OS X.
Tell that to one of my professors, who struggled with connecting to wifi accesspoint with windows xp to which I connected with linux without problems. I could say XP isn't "it just works" too, as it requires fiddling sometimes.
Evolution=selection+mutation. If there is no mutation, species is not diverse. If then comes some strong selector, all members of society will die. If there is mutation, then some members will have mutations which are favored by this selector, and will live long enough to have children. So selection AND mutation makes evolution.
Why not simply admit failure; accept that Vista was a crappy effort; and actually write a new OS capable of running on existing hardware; and existing software apps? The entire PC ecosystem has been broken by Vista
No, it wasn't broken by Vista, it just actually changed. Customers do not anymore want system which is more shiny, if they need to have better hardware. They all think current hardware should support anything without any hassle and if not, then it's programmers' fault.
[...] but if someone writes a bot to randomly click on a picture to get micropayments? Not so good because not only were you cheated, but now you have a bunch of wrong data. How do you detect fraud in such a system?
Did you RTFA? It's obvious: with redundancy. When 10 users agree and one misses this agreement most times, he is considered not trustworthy and therefore ignored and not payed.
If only tables still supported height attribute... I'm just php/js programmer, but I still often have to do complete reworking of templates (often to tables) if I need to make dynamic template from some designer's work.
If everybody can have offspring no matter what, it means there is MORE genetic diversity. If people with weaker genes can have their own children, maybe there will be some beneficial mutation in two or three generations? Look how people with higher chance of hemophilia are less likely to suffer from malaria. Not every mutation beneficial in long term may be beneficial in short term and vice versa.
Beneficial genetic changes have appeared at a rate roughly 100 times higher in the past 5,000 years than at any previous period of human evolution, the researchers determined. They added that about 7 percent of human genes are undergoing rapid, relatively recent evolution.
If we are evolving so fast who knows, maybe I will mutate some superhuman powers? I, for one, welcome our new evolved superhuman overlords.

Linux doesn't require drivers to be signed.

You must be superhuman. Best cyclists can endure 200 wats for few hours. I could make 200w for 5 minutes (tested on ergometer).
And what about tattoos?

Well, just try to copy some 7k files and we'll see what happen.
I like clean start pages too. So I'm using this

It's not like there is no article about wife on wikipedia, JFGI. It's a neat concept, I must try it someday, but I couldn't find any store with wives.

Yeah, I meant anaemia, sorry for mistake.
