I don't think this is actually true, as they can fly across the gulf of Mexico (500 miles) non stop.

Does anybody get the comment about Bill not actually sitting on the notebook? I've re-read the original several times, and it still understand it as Bill sitting on the notebook.

There were six shuttles and had 25, 28, 10, 39, 33 & 0 missions each for a total of 135 missions and killed 14 astronauts. Not that impressive a record for something that was originally intended to do 55 launches a year. Something I fin

Arm licensing fees are about 1% - 2%, so these new chips would be less than $0.98?

If they have 0.3% speed, wouldn't it be expected that they get 0.3% of the coins per month? 3600 coins per day * 30 days * 588.41 BTC/UDS * 0.003 = $189831.60 USD gross per month?

LGPL isn't compatible with app stores since the user can't relink. So you need a commercial license. As well, the licensing cost of the enterprise license is $200 a month, that's so cheap compared to a developers salary there

I agree, and I wonder how much further ahead it would be if they'd switched to the current licensing scheme years earlier. Other than writing native for each platform, which I don't have time to do, I haven't seen any good al

They are used a lot in audio processing - digital mixers, effect boxes etc. In a digital mixer, you'll need to get 32+ channels of audio encoded into the correct format, mixed, effects added, re-encoded, and back out in under 10ms, hop

Sure, artificial scarcity isn't required, there are lots of ways around it as many alternative business models have shown. My argument is they aren't always better. When you bring advertising into the equation, the end user is no

I'm not sure artificial scarcity is a bad thing, as it allows digital products to exist. As a consumer I'd much rather have the option to choose between a digital product and a digital service. Somethings like email and web hostin

I've come to the same opinion. Reading /r/bitcoin, people are losing their coins every week. And these are enthusiasts. The security just doesn't exist for mass adoption. 6.6% of all bitcoins have been stolen. When you c

I talked to Sam Whittingham briefly after his speed record fell last September. 133.78 km/h beat his old record by 0.6 km/h. I think his record stood for about 13 years. He says now it all comes down to the tires, they are the one

I lost an arm in 1991, but had it re-attached. I'm still not sure if that was a good idea or not. I wasn't awake when the decision was made. My Dad argued for, the doctors were initially against the idea, but no doctor now will re

I think you are correct. Even with a hacked account, it's very difficult to move the money into another account without leaving a trail. Either the money will have a hold for days or the transaction can be reversed. There are also cons

It doesn't really go into what Symbiosis is. Is it something I can install on my linux distribution. Or do I have to use their Symbiosis distribution? Setting up email is a world of pain, anything to make it easier would be good.

Hmm, not sure where I got the idea costs were that high. I can't find any data anywhere what people are actually paying.

Bitcoin transaction fees are around $0.40 to get your transaction accepted. While you could pay with no fee, it could take days for the transaction to be accepted. Maybe one of the altcoins would work better. But now you are limiting your c
