3) This is a fad. They'll do 1) for a while, but in about a decade (plus or minus a few years), there will be another release of Windows that is again branded under another name/number.

> "So the robbers wear masks and shoot / paint over / jam the video equipment." Doing any of that would create a very distinct MO. You want to avoid that if you want to avoid being caught. Also, have you seen how s

Properly outfitted, a self-driving vehicle will basically be a rolling surveillance unit. You could rob one, but you'd likely have quality HD footage of the entire incident from every angle. Who knows, maybe even precise measurements

Last line was meant to be an edit on another comment obviously. Too late to fix it.

Well, that depends on what you mean by "valid". The grammar rules that you find written down are an approximate encoding of rules that native speakers have all internalized. These written down rules are not perfect, and have edge

It would be pretty hard to hide from a totalitarian government in an attic if that government had sufficiently comprehensive residency information and this sort of technology. Count the bodies in each house on a regular periodic basis, and

Seems like a good reason to build your house in a slight valley. That way if the lava comes, you can be reasonably sure it will take out your house. Although perhaps the insurance companies would not like that trick.

If sourceforge went under, do you think I'd be unable to get the source to tmux? Since obviously I'd still be able to get tmux, what value is sourceforge actually providing me? They might be providing tmux developers some value

Mercury poisoning has been known for some time, however people in the general public knowing or caring about mercury poisoning is a pretty recent phenomenon.

He picked a bad example, because honestly you are right. A better example might be how the DoD influenced/compromised the design of the Space Shuttle. The only reason it had those big-ass wings was so that it could fly polar orbit mis

I remember having the same thought with that book. Elements of the book seemed to be there for the benefit of spin-off video games, much like you'll sometimes find a character in a movie probably exists for merchandizing. Maybe I gave

> you can just write "mercury" on the flash and you can be sure no-one will dare to touch it. Remember we're talking about 1940. Whoever discovered it might very well take it off the shelf to play with it. ;)

What the fuck would a camera man know about any of this, one way or the other? Why would his opinion be interesting at all?

Isn't the whole idea of a massive company producing software for a very small restricted set of hardware that this sort of thing isn't supposed to happen? Random bullshit like this is expected with systems like Windows that aim

What they actually found in this MRI study is that the bubbles stick around for several minutes, slowly dissolving back into the fluid. They don't immediately collapse as you would expect. The sound seems to come from the very rapid

Human bodies may have the advantage of being able to heal damage that would normally otherwise slowly accumulate over time. I am not sure what sort of tissue exactly would be potentially damaged by this though, and how well it can heal.

When I don't crack my knuckles regularly, they start to feel extremely stiff and experience a dull pain. There is no way I'd be able to stop myself from cracking one of my hands for that long. That really is extraordinary self-c

My ankle does the exact same. My understanding is that for this sort of cracking, where there is no "refractory period" between cracks, the gas bubble thing is not the cause. Rather it might be a tendon "snapping" acro

Do Linux distros that have their own patches for GCC not have their own patches for clang/LLVM? Why would this be the case?

Why is it more moral for the developers to lie about their motivations? Surely, all else being equal, the developers being honest is a more desirable personality trait. They could claim that it isn't just for watching pirated ho

I wonder if studios cite piracy numbers when negotiating product placement rates. If movie piracy became particularly common (I do not believe that it currently is, despite what the MPAA claims), I bet they would. Increased product placeme

I haven't been following KSP for about a year, but before then I played it pretty heavily. It seems like two of the things added by this release are more realistic aerodynamics, and procedural fairings. Did they basically integrate FA
