Here's where the troll part comes in. Do you actually believe the only consequence of global warming is rolling up our pants and walking inland a couple feet? The economy falls apart when the prices go up on oil. What do you think will happen when we are asked to MOVE LOS ANGELES AND NEW YORK INLAND??? What happens when the phytoplankton are no longer able to survive in the ocean water with low salinity? Well, let me tell you that phytoplankton produce most of the oxygen you breath...
Not trolling but, the process isn't going to happen overnight. People in LA on the coast aren't going to just wake up floating one morning. You say that a significant measure of our oxygen supply will be lost, but again this is a slow process and as such perhaps the global system will adapt along with it. At the very least, the opportunity for adaptation is there, as it's going to take quite a few years. Remember that Earth has been through this before, and life continued on.
I don't know if I'm way off track or not, but I had a look at the map of the Europe heatwave and compared it to a night-time sattelite pic of the world. The lights and their concentration roughly equate to the population densities, and I can't find many similarities between the distribution of mankind and Earth heat. I don't know if that means anything, but it doesn't appear to me that we have much to do with this 'fever'.
my friend's rare Pearl Jam CD's are nearly scratched beyond playability,
Scratches on CDs are a lesser problem, fortunately. I know a guy who runs a business repairing CDs by sanding and polishing the scratched surface down a tiny little bit. Obviously you can't do this more than a few times, but a disc presumed to be dead from scratches can apparently be brought back to full functionality, assuming there wasn't also damage to the foil.
Finally, making a reader for the material is one thing, but I imagine making a writer is an altogether trickier process....how do add and remove all these dye-polymer shells, or is the whole point to have a static, WORM-style data store?
I can imagine something like this: The dyes undergo some chemical change when a specific wavelength of laser light is applied to one of these 'onions'. Until activated in this way, the various shells in the onion don't react in the specific way needed to read any data from any of the shells. That would be state 0. Shine the correct light at the onion and (let's say) the third shell in changes somehow, and starts reflecting in the expected way, and you have just stored whatever state that would be, depending on how many shells you had. I have no idea if this could really work, and even less of an idea if something made that way could be re-writable, but it's fun to guess.:)
Not only did they pick two lossy formats to use as examples,
Well, what I got out of that was that those two formats are readily recognized by the public at large, and so made convenient examples. Patent-encumberance aside, those two formats really do dominate their fields after all, and that was the point being made.
Anyway, I would think that a lossy 3D data format would just be silly, and is likely not being considered. The patent war will still be an issue probably, but a good 3D format standard would so totally rock, I hope it works out well.
We call them
Remote Controlled Cars
Remote Controlled Planes these are clearly not "ROBOTS".
This is because, clearly we have drifted away from the strict definition of a robot as an autonomous machine. Instead what we do, as soon as you've given a machine the facility to pick something up and manipulate that something, that defines it as a robot. Take an RC car for example, and mount a, um, robot arm (what else can we call it?) on top. Voila, you have a robot car. It's not technically correct, but this is normal practice for the bastardization of a language, it's been going on for millenia so we'd best get used to it.

With a simple API, it should be easy to change the colours on the fly, going from blue to red (or whatever) depending on different 'threat' conditions.
I dunno, maybe I'm weird, but when I'm gaming I spend most of the time looking at the screen (ie: HUD) and not glancing over to see where my mouse is. I already know where my mouse is, I already know where the buttons are under my fingers. Doesn't a threat indicator belong right in front of your eyes on the screen, where no extra hardware is needed?
With optical mice why would anyone need a mouse pad? Back in the day with the old-style mice, I would occasionally move my mouse off the pad thus resulting my Rocket Launcher pointing in some odd direction. Once I switched to an optical mouse, that.99c IKEA mouse pad was thrown out the window.
Amen to that. The day I got an optical mouse was the last time I ever used a mousepad. Well at home at least. Oh, the sweet freedom! Plus, a desk surface is far easier to keep clean than a (textured) mousepad. More to the point, a *textured* mousepad has to be the stupidest thing to use with an optical mouse. Sure, maybe you've got a really blank desk surface, it happens, but for Smith's sake, why do some people insist on dragging their poor mouse over all that bloody friction? Liberate your optical! Get a better desk and let it all hang loose baby, the ride just gets wilder from here...
if Gold was actually scarce, the reality is it is not uncommon at all, why go through a complicated refining process to extract grams when the same amount of extraction energy would be better put to extracting tonnes
It's not so much about getting every last bit of gold through an involved process.. The process is there to clean up the ground from all the contaminants from the mining, so the land can eventually be used for food crops.
... how much do you spend to get a dollar-worth of gold/other metals to grow on a tree. The article does not say that.
What the article does say is that he gets his money back. The harvested metals pay for the cleanup. It might not be a huge profit, the article doesn't mention anything about that, but at least it appears self-sustaining.
Archimedes was outside the container. From 4 miles under the Earth's mantle, your ability to observe is extremely limited, that's what was being asked. When 4 miles down is all you've ever known, how can you measure the contents when you yourself are part of the contents? You can't see the boundaries, you don't know the planet is full, you don't know if it's inside a Dyson Sphere either, seismo-data be damned.
That's the first time I've ever seen "infinite space" and "no room [...] between things" used in conjunction.
That's my point, I don't think you can have infinite space AND infinite matter. So if you don't have infinite matter, you're not going to have infinite copies of yourself living identical lives.
If the universe is infinite, you necessarily have an infinite number of identical copies of you, living exactly the same life you are.
I disagree. If the Universe is infinite, that only implies to me that Space is infinite. It doesn't mean that Matter can't still be finite. If Matter was also infinite (that's the only way you could have infinite copies of yourself strewn about the cosmos), I would think there would be no room for Space between things.
As to your example about being 4 miles deep in the Earth, even though you may not be able to "see" the outer surface of the planet, you could still use seismic observation to map the size and shape of the earth from the inside. By observing radiation and light-shifts we now have the new and improved "shape of the Universe".
But if you've always been 4 miles deep in the Earth, what frame of reference can you use to determine what your seismological data really means? Figuring out the Earth is round from being on the surface isn't nearly as difficult, as you can track the stars and the sun and stuff, that's what plants such notions of non-flatness. But from inside, with nothing to watch but some needles twitching on a graph, how would you ever know what you were really witnessing?
If space is curved, and light travels along the curvature, then anything we see should appear 'normal' to us since we are within the same frame of reference. So our observations of the shape of space are tainted by the bias of our sensors (telescopes, eyes) being uniquely attuned to whatever shape it really is. It's like the perceptual separation between the brain and the mind.. Your brain creates and sustains a thinking awareness that can observe and comprehend all sorts of external stimuli, and yet this mind is completely unaware of the energy fluctuations within that are making it go. I will never be able to directly perceive my neurons interacting with their fellows, because I *AM* of them. Examination with equipment does not count, as that is using a frame of reference external to me. I am saying I will never be able to see it myself with my own brain as the sensor. As we are of the Universe, we can never really know it. We can make some really good guesses that I believe we shall never finally prove.
'Alright,' said Ford, 'imagine this. Right. You get this bath. Right. A large round bath. And it's made of ebony.'
'Where from?' said Arthur, 'Harrods was destroyed by the Vogons.'
'Doesn't matter.'
'So you keep saying.'
'Listen.'
'Alright.'
'You get this bath, see? Imagine you've got this bath. And it's ebony. And it's conical.'
'Conical?' said Arthur, 'What sort of...'
'Shhh!' said Ford. 'It's conical. So what you do is, you see, you fill it with fine white sand, alright? Or sugar. Fine white sand, and/or sugar. Anything. Doesn't matter. Sugar's fine. And when it's full, you pull the plug out... are you listening?'
'I'm listening.'
'You pull the plug out, and it all just twirls away, twirls away you see, out of the plughole.'
'I see.'
'You don't see. You don't see at all. I haven't got to the clever bit yet. You want to hear the clever bit?'
'Tell me the clever bit.'
Ford thought for a moment, trying to remember what the clever bit was.
'The clever bit,' he said, 'is this. You film it happening.'
'Clever,' agreed Arthur.
'You get a movie camera, and you film it happening.'
'Clever.'
'That's not the clever bit. This is the clever bit, I remember now that this is the clever bit. The clever bit is that you then thread the film in the projector... backwards!'
'Backwards?'
'Yes. Threading it backwards is definitely the clever bit. So then, you just sit and watch it, and everything just appears to spiral upwards out of the plughole and fill the bath. See?'
'And that's how the Universe began is it?' said Arthur.
'No,' said Ford, 'but it's a marvelous way to relax.'
