"There are over 4,000 federal crimes...there were only about 620 total laws (religious, civil and criminal) in the Old Testament."
And to ensure that unwary citizens will be summarily prosecuted and convicted, Acme Corporation has developed the RoboProsecutor, which can present irrevocable arguments on all 4,000 possible counts to a Grand Jury and can handle the caseload of an entire major city.
Circa 1970 we got one of the first portable lasers in our physics lab. It weighed about 6 pounds. Prior to that the only lasers we had were built on lab benches.
So the part about it being laser-controlled I seriously doubt.
Using dropouts is a mistake.
If you compare high-school graduates with college graduates, the "cognitive elite" don't do so well.
Many high-school grads go into the trades (plumbing, carpentry, etc.) and now make more than their "cognitive elite" peers. When you sum over their career history, they make _more_ than their "cognitive elite" peers.
China is sitting pretty on this. They want to eventually acquire North Korea (NK) but without the cost of a modern war. So China will let the U.S. do their dirty work for them, then move into NK en masse. We couldn't stop them easily.
Our best tactic would be, should hostilities begin, to destroy the overland supply routes in NK leading to China, thereby cutting off NK's supplies and guaranteeing the NK regime a limited lifetime. The Chinese would bitch about it and, in a worst case might send in repair teams. But consistency pays off, and repeatedly bombing the supply routes would eventually starve the regime.
Question is, once they fell, would China stay out or march in again as they did in 1950. My bet is they would go in. Sometimes it is useful to own even a trashyard. They could use NK as a nuclear waste dump, a weapons testing facility, a farming region, a national park and a huge set of port cities. It would give China a much increased coastline from which to prod Japan and project and develop sea power.
The only way to thwart China would be for the NK military to remain intact, so that no Chinese invasion could easily occur. That requires a peaceful change of regime with no significant war. In any case, despite political posturing, I don't believe China will allow NK to be turned over to South Korea.
managed by U.S. intelligence. Nothing truly significant has been released with the exception of information boosting the U.S. viewpoint and some interesting perspective on Chinese-N. Korean diplomacy.
One of the strongest indicators that it's a false flag operation is that Assange and WikiLeaks are still alive and kicking. Had he crossed U.S. intelligence, he'd have disappeared by now.
There are no less than 3 sets of information (alright, "cookies") stored by flash on linux, two bfolders in.macromedia and another folder in.adobe. You must delete all 3 (as well as the folders themselves if you want to clear directory entries). .
They're not promising a cure for the common cold and they are only speaking of the possibility of some future antiviral drugs.
Medical researchers should be required to keep their yap shut until they produce something that works in humans. For decades I've read thousands (probably tens of thousands) of science articles that promised medical cures. Yet in that time only a handful were produced. Medical science today is little more than a money machine for researchers. I doubt that the investment is worthwhile.
Where's a cure for cancer, for diabetes, for heart disease? Nowhere to be found in the USA.
Not faulty math but an artifact of the decimal notation that is used to indicate the numeric value 1=.999... Either "1.0" or "0.999..." are notation for the same numeric quantity.
"But you cannot reach infinity so this is a moot point."
You can't sequentially write an infinite number of characters (you'd run out of time) but the notation can certainly capture it's meaning. The elements of the sequence {0.9, 0.99, 0.999, 0.9999,...} _do_ approach 1.0 = 0.999... but never get there. So your statements are correct when applied to that _sequence_. But they are not correct when applied to the number 1=0.999...
You or your insurance should have paid the bill.
Separate your anger at the death of your child from your anger at getting a 911 bill. You are allowed the first but not the second.
911 is a useful service, they came when you called and they did what they could. They should be paid. It costs a lot to have a standing service like 911. They can't perform miracles and sometimes they make mistakes.
Or perhaps you'd prefer a world without 911 services being available.
I watched the movie Idiocracy last night and got a sense of our culture's non-creative future, 500-some odd years removed.
In one scene the time clock spins forward over centuries, pausing intermittently only to capture a single image of a restaurant storefront in evolution: "FuddRuckers" devolves to "RuddPuckers", "PudSuckers", etc. (or some such). When the clock stops the culture has christened the restaurant "ButtFuckers".
Apparently the references to FuddRuckers, Costco, Starbucks et al caused Fox to bury the film, which portrays a future where creativity and intelligence have largely disappeared.
".and in 5 years they'll have to throw out everything they learned about Ruby/Rails"
.NET's libraries are no better. You've had to toss out everything you've learned about versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0 of the libraries - all incompatible with each other, usually each new version obsolescing previous controls.
But the really big mistake was torpedoing ASP and VB6. Greedy Microsoft thought they could capture revenue by forcing a new framework on developers, so they orphaned ASP, VBScript and Visual Basic 6.0. In response, every Microsoft developer worth his salt abandoned the Microsoft platforms.
As anyone who lives in a coastal area knows, the salty sea air will rust steel severely. Cars, cooking gear, electronics are all vulnerable and short-lived in such areas. So it is a necessity that they do a good job of preventing any salts from becoming airborne.
Induction is reasoning from factual evidence to some conclusion. But the primary mode of human reasoning is called "abduction" and differs from induction. To illustrate, consider that a valid deductive inference has three elements: a rule which when applied to a single case produces a conclusion (the -> means "implies"):
DEDUCTION: Rule + Case -> Conclusion
Rule: All the beans from this bag are white.
Case: These beans are from this bag.
Conclusion: These beans are white.
Induction and Abduction use the elements in a different way:
INDUCTION: Case + Conclusion -> Rule
Case: These beans are from this bag.
Conclusion: These beans are white.
Rule: All the beans from this bag are white.
ABDUCTION: Conclusion + Rule -> Case
Conclusion. These beans are white.
Rule. All the beans from this bag are white.
Case. These beans are from this bag.
Only deduction provides a valid inference. But humans default to using abduction and learn induction and deduction only slowly through formal training.

The title says it all: rebooting loses info that may tell you what went wrong. First diagnose the problem and find a solution. Then reboot.

What about cruise ships?
Estimates are that a 3,000-passenger ship generates the air pollution equivalent of more than 12,000 cars in a single day.

will you see any significant move from JVM to .NET. Java users will move to open-source languages instead.
Why move from one proprietary language to another? This discussion has already been heard.

Add to this that the weatherman can't predict the weather tomorrow and that we're talking about prediction not 5 years out but 20 years and further.
Why the hell I should believe in modelling in a field that has never, ever been able to predict anything whatsoever is beyond me.
