But their joining that choir wasn't online.. it wasn't posted by them. The only thing they did wrong was either pursueing their interests by joining the choir or being like everybody else by having a Facebook account. Since science has taught us that everyone who doesn't use Facebook is a horrible murderer-to-be, the latter can't be ruled out-... so they weren't supposed to join that choir?
That problem is solved if cars act as if all the information they can trust is their own, and only add "potential dangerous situations" reported by others to their own list, but never discarding them purely based on another machine's information.
The advantage is that you can choose to do either-... set up your own node for security, or use someone else's to connect to your Diaspora-using friends.
That wouldn't be a clone, I think. More like a brother or sister. The stem cell still has a full set of DNA, and both the sperm and egg cell would have their random half of said DNA.
Perhaps the parent poster didn't mean world maps but local maps.. on a small map, declination might only vary a few degrees while a large map might have much more.
You need the energy to grow plants for food and possibly air, for light (people don't like being in the dark for millenia, I'd guess), and that sort of thing. And if you want to get there in any semi-decent time at all, you'll keep accelerating until you get halfway, and then start decellerating. Something like it. So yeah. LOTS of fuel.
A bit of research tells me that 45 ACP rounds are about 10-15 grams. The video says the railgun projectiles are 5.6 x 16 mm.. I'm assuming both are mm, then, which would mean a perfect cylinder would have 0.394 cm cubed of mass. Most steel seems to be about 7.5 gram per cm3, so that'd be about 3 grams.. a little less, because it's not a cylinder.
It has 1/5th the mass, and 1/3rd the velocity. Kinetic energy would be.. what. 1/75th?
These numbers seem excessive, so please correct me if I'm wrong. It's rather shocking that a pretty well designed, heavy coilgun only gives 1/75th the power of an average handgun. Especially since said handgun can probably unload its ammo into its target 5 times faster.
Same here. 140 total, by now. Even though it's not supported by the makers, I treat almost all software that way-... download it, see if it's something I enjoy using... if so, I buy it. If not, I delete it or just let it gather virtual cobwebs.
So basically.. the only people who lose money on me are the people trying to get me to pay for software that's not all it's cracked up to be. And if it's bad software for too high a price anyway, perhaps they should be losing money on it. I think the last thing I bought on pure faith was Skyrim, but that just kind of convinced me not to do so anymore. Not as good as Morrowind.
I actually meant it the other way around. Butchersong implied that there are things you can say in America that you can't say in Europe. I was wondering about examples. I know there's plenty you can't say in America that's pretty safe here.
I can't come up with anything I could say to get me arrested here (in the Netherlands) that wouldn't get someone arrested in America as well. Could you name an example?
Lost wax style metal casting? I think it'd be easy to make a printer for the wax (or whatever the "lost wax" in that concept actually is these days) and then use that to make metal barrels of your own design.
Most people who would print their own guns would probably be in it to avoid gun laws anyway.. They wouldn't care whether it's one level of illegal or another.
Though to the few who would do it just for the design considerations.. dunno. You're right, it would hold them back.
If you can't afford it, you can't afford it. If those "40 year old mouthbreathers" are not going to be able to buy it, what do the companies lose if they pirate it?
Yeah sure their piracy may boost the download speeds of other pirates a bit. Or may lower it a bit. Horrible news, I know.
I can't speak for others, but this label (if applied correctly) is a dream come true for me. I've been pretty careful about buying anything these days because being careless will end you up having spent half your money on DRM'd crap that you'll lose access to for whatever silly reason at whatever time -someone else- thinks is okay. Or not, and some server just b0rks. Or your internet connection flakes out and you spend hours without half your media.
The DRM-free label will get me more interested and trusting in products that would otherwise be too mainstream (indie stuff isn't DRM'd as often nor as badly) and untrustworthy for me. That seems like a "mission accomplished" at least: if you get even one more customer by putting on a neat label, it's worth it, right?
If California decided enough was enough, and ignored federal laws, removed federal agents, sealed its border, issued its own currency + passports etc. What would happen?
We really do need a "Not Safe For the Net" concept. People need to start figuring out that some things are just NSFN and shouldn't be posted on Facebook or what-have-you.

This isn't about the US... it's about the Netherlands, sadly. I didn't vote for the guy doing this or any of his cronies, I swear!
It's a good thing those things don't seem to pass as easily here as they do in the US, but still... I worry that it might happen one day.

So it's a drive you put solid state disks into? :D
Not just a pedantic joke.. I actually like that thought. Twenty-first century diskdrives

Are duckquakes anything like earthquakes?
His/her issue is probably the concept that one government can set a mandate on a piece of software used internationally.
We's have's the right's to abu'se whatever's and whoever's we want's!

Accidently squared the 1/5. Derp. Still a tiny number though.

Well, then they're avoiding government regulation. Doesn't the american government react to that pretty much the same way?

Still not exactly mass-production.

War?

But yeah, that's not what this meant.
On what? A stone slab? A punch card?
