About the deterministic part. Quantum mechanics is not deterministic, however if you include all timelines in your simulation and not just a single one, it gets "sort of" deterministic in the way that the outcome is always the same.
If the world is a simulation, then it must be based on a formula of some sort. Mathematical formulas doesn't need a computer or a person with a pen and pencil to exist. So a simulated world doesn't need the simulation. Is it simulated then? It only has meaning for the ones that simulates it, not for the people inside it.
A computer is not the best device for note taking. Using a LiveScribe pen you can transfer your notes to the computer, including a recording the voice of the lecturer. The pen makes your notes hypertext because it is linked with the audio at the time of note taking. It makes it easy to navigate in the audio recording.
If you can make XMir, why shouldn't you be able to make a tripple protocol display server. Mir and Wayland in the same server. Is that possible? Perhaps Surfaceflinger as well to support Android Apps.
Too many small assignments outside the issue tracker is filling the head with distracting thoughts. One small issue you have to enter on behalf of someone else could loose 10 minutes of productivity. All because the reporter was too lazy to spend 2 minutes in the ticket system.
Another distractor is phones, a ringing phone breaks concentration even if it isn't your own. Fortunately my office is completely phone free.
An option would be to collect hearing aids from deceased people that obviously don't need them anymore. Adjustment is obviously a problem. A solution could be to have a wide selection of used hearing aids and let people choose which one they prefer.
It would probably require a non profit organisation to collect the hearing aids. But used hearing aids are a valuable resource that should be put to good use.
In europe we hear a lot about like video and books in services like Google Play, ITunes, Amazon, Netflix. But the reality is that these services has done a very poor job in supporting the european market. I don't know who is to blame, the EU for not creating a single european content market, rights holders for making it too cumbersome to add their content to these services. Or maybe Google, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and others are just too lazy or too inept.
Who do you think is to blame?
It is obvious that the piracy level is higher in regions where it is impossible to buy paid apps. For the sake of the application customers, application publishers and the Android ecosystem, please do something about it google. The ratio between paid versus free apps in the Android Market is extremely tilted towards free apps for this very reason.
As long as there are countries where it is impossible to buy paid apps for Android there will be people who will pirate and crack the applications.
There are billion dollar products. I presume the value of the Linux OS, Mysql, Apache HTTP server are several billion dollars if we sum up the value of each installation. However no single company has the monopoly right to sell it, so it is spread around on many many companies where some of them takes part in the development, some not, but many of them are actively contributing by supporting other users in forums.
Yes but it is good to see that for the first time since IE4-6, Microsoft will release a competitive browser. It is interesting what IE9 is doing with hardware acceleration, and hopefully it will inspire other browsers to improve which is good for everyone.
If the browsers end up being almost complete operating systems, like the Chrome OS, they needs to be much faster than today.
This means that if the earth collapses to a black hole, the extra dimensions exists. This is an incredible result that will most certainly boost confidence in string theory.
I think comics are excellent literature to learn reading. When I was a child, I had a lot of Donald Duck comics, which are popular in Denmark. I read them over and over again. Little by little, I understood the text better, and by the time I started in school I was able to read.
Comics have the advantage that the text is guided by images, this means you can skip the parts that are too advanced for you and still get the overall story, and by repetition you can reduce the parts that you don't understand.
Google is an essential tool for programmers. I often paste bits from a stacktrace and most often it leads to a issuetracker where either a solution is described or a workaround. Without the capability to read english I would be without this essential tool.

When the iOS flat look came out it looked like My Little Pony, but now people have gotten used to it nobody cares anymore.
Windows 2000 is prettier than '95.
We loose a good opportunity for bloat but it enables Google to compete with chromebooks

In the cloud, boot speed matters a great deal. You want to be able to scale quickly in response to increased load.

But it is harder to uniquely identify you by IP address

Will we ever see Ubuntu "nexus" hardware. That is Ubuntu branded hardware that is distinct and shows the Ubuntu vision.

This sounds like something from Lord of the Rings or Silmarillion. I hope they don't have the same corrupting power.

If all the Google OS goodies also exists for Linux, then why should you use Google OS on your smartbook and not Ubuntu Net Remix for example?

They have obviously given up on winning the users hearts and minds. The only option left is brute monopoly force.
English as a lingua franca in the world as a whole is dependent on the western world being the center of economics.
