Well, why not watch the video then?

And for those decrying the use of video, you'll definitely want to check out Up and Down the Ladder of Abstraction by the same author: http://worrydream.com/LadderOfAbstraction/
It's a big wall of text with interactive javascript examples and no video.
Let's say you put out a bid for a 250 page website to be built and I submit a quote of $2500 to create the site, stating that I will personally be doing all of the work. Would you come back to me and say "Sorry, your price is attractive but I've calculated that your effective wage is too low and your working conditions aren't up to my standards. In order to make a livable wage under decent working conditions, I propose that I pay you $25,000 instead."?
You mean to tell me that after such careful thought into the practicality of the voyage, you have no concerns about the fact that you'd turn to dust long before you made any significant progress on the journey?
If you're off by nearly the width of a human hair, it's not a perfect circle now, is it? Sheesh.
You can navigate in a perfect circle, but when you reach the end of the perfect circle there will be a little left over because the number you were using for pi to calculate the circumference was off.
However, don't let me interrupt what must be a satisfying eye roll for you. I'm glad to see cowards on Slashdot have remained as polite as ever.
If you memorize up to the first zero in pi, you can navigate the circumference of the universe in a perfect circle and when you get to the end of the circle (based on the digits of pi you memorized) you'll be off by less than the width of a human hair.
Anyone know if it's possible to do this for Slashdot? Every single post read, every login, every IP address, perhaps supposedly anonymous posts, every moderation, etc. And with Slashdot, there isn't the ability to even delete anything. The only saving grace is that most people don't attach their real names to their accounts.
You may be right... I'm making up my own definitions of active and passive as I don't know how these are legally defined in terms of rules of engagement, etc. and whether or not North Korea gives a rat's ass about what other countries think the definitions are.
Sure. I install a faraday cage around my home. You come over and your cell phone doesn't work. I did this knowing that your cell phone wouldn't work, but I haven't actively done anything to your phone. I've passively interfered with its operation by actively targeting something else -- its dependency on being able to transmit and receive EM signals beyond the confines of my home which are currently blocked by my faraday cage.
Now not knowing the specifics of what North Korea did, I'm only speculating. If they sent a high-intensity EM beam aimed directly at the drone that disrupted the drone's systems then that would be an active measure. On the other hand, if they flooded their airspace such that GPS signals coming from a North-bound direction did not arrive at the drone's location then that would be a passive measure. It's the difference between overloading the drone's GPS receiver (active) and producing a signal inverse to the GPS signal, thereby canceling it out and little to no signal arrives to the drone (passive).

The range of human skin color is quite close to the range of wood color.

Don't forget Poland!
For all intensive purposes, I could care less.
Building things in a cold climate keeps them cold.. . Film at 11
Also up at the 11 o'clock news: data center opens up a seafood restaurant, claims no ovens or stoves needed.
Your momma.
Odd... that's exactly what she said.
Sure there is. Charge time.
What's the charge time for turning this dead cow into a liter of gas?
Then I guess you'll have to do it as a mental exercise rather than packing 10^80 lunches for the voyage.

I get that. My tongue-in-cheek response was because it had absolutely nothing to do with what I wrote.

Thanks, Hank. I might need to pick up a new model; mine must be on the fritz.
You mean if they search along the circumference of the universe for Shakespeare? What a strange notion. Or perhaps you replied to the wrong post.
How irrational of me.
Roughly how many digits is that?
No need to google it... here you go: 3.14159265358979323846264338327950

And North Korea is a signatory to these agreements?
Except for the green Matrix code-style walls, I thought it was much more like Tron (the original movie).
