Wow I'm stupid for some reason I thought we passed the 1980s. I guess unicode hasn't been adopted yet. Should have known with all these zero wing references.
It has nothing to do with # of comments. I see 0-comment green articles all the time. The red means that it's "in the future" and being seen by a subscriber. For some reason they've been showing up for a few seconds to normal users too.
Some people think Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake for his support of heliocentricism. He was ostensibly executed for his belief in reincarnation but he was unpopular for his advocacy of heliocentricism which couldn't have helped his case.
Billions of dollars is a weird context to talk about lesser amounts of money, like spending $10 million to resurface half a mile of road.. but throwing around the words "billions of dollars" does mean that money is coming from somewhere. Usually it indicates that someone's selling something that tons of people want, like gasoline. I can't come up with anything of more immediate value than petroleum products.
If he was using it to try to make a point then it's Art, whether or not you can tell it apart from spilled paint. Beethoven's romantic music is just as legitimate an interpretation of the world as Cage's dissonant music.
real-time computing... else why do you think we'd (taxpayers) spend millions of dollars on these compute centers
Protein folding? Evolutionary algorithms? Anything you listed except audio/video streaming?
maybe it'll become conscious
How would experiencing human consciousness be good for a computer? Ooh, how terrifying, a lonely computer that's bad at chess and can multiply three-digit numbers if it closes its cameras and concentrates really hard. Also you have no idea what a neural network is.
"I want to fuck you like an animal / I want to feel you from the inside" is deliberately one of the most inflammatory chorus lines ever seen in the mainstream.. moms seeing those slick iphone commercials and thinking of buying one for christmas might freak if they heard about that song being "promoted" on the app store that their kid will be browsing innocently..
Apple just cares about the cost of implementing an age restriction more than some band's app (a bad idea anyway).
Oh please, historical record? "The public" has never read a single section of any law. If they hear from the media that our laws are hard to understand they'll shrug and have marginally less patriotic pride. The only time The Public gets interested in the law is when there's a travesty of justice, like that kid who recieved a mandatory minimum of 10 years for recieving oral sex from a 15 year old at a party, and even then everything's summarized by the media. Nobody's at the court clerk's office requesting copies of court documents, they're reading the newspaper. Of course it's absurd to predicate law enforcement on the consent of the governed when nobody knows what they're consenting to, but simpler laws make things worse. You have issues like fair use where it's not even possible to figure out what the law is if you're a concerned party, because it's all hand-waving "factors to be considered" and no actually informing people exactly what is illegal.
Isn't it the prosecutor's office who decides if they're going to pursue the case? It doesn't matter if the judiciary doesn't particularly care to try this or that trial.
But is it the lawmakers' job to ensure that if for some reason a layperson wants to buy The Law they can easily understand it? People dedicate their lives to the study and practice of law; do you think a legal career could compress into an afternoon reading on the beach if our laws were just simpler? These are complex issues that are handled by complex laws, and being less specific in the laws only makes the issue cloudier.
Do you think anyone will remember the Swine Flu in 10 years? It will only be seen in old printed media aka media archives. So yes the media calling it something else will change what history calls it.
I'm not blaming anyone. I was just saying that even (especially?) if you word your laws in "plain English" then lawyers can still find loopholes or interpret the laws differently. Plain English doesn't help.
Who cares how fast it is? What kind of application requires real-time computing without a video output? The only thing I can think of is a server / router, which a 10 year old beige box could do.

Why are you trying to prove that people may have wrongly thought the world wasn't round? This is a bizarre argument.
If you can't get the same caliber of parts and labor anywhere else then they can charge whatever they want. It's not entirely about image.
What? Linux runs on IBM PC's now?! You must be talking about the alpha release.

Tertiary DNS? Why?!
What, now?
Exactly.

I for one am glad they don't waste a few hundred million on derailing drug labs and other emergency control every time there's a media panic.

Last one disallows hotlinking you have to go to the site (nsfw) before you can visit that url.
I do think Linux is worth a billion dollars, but "how much it would have cost" doesn't have anything to do with it.
