I apologize, and won't do it again. Is there any way to report something like this?

...And Enron, and Goldman, and all of the companies that tanked us in 2008. Right? Where is this right spelled out exactly, except in the fiction that corporations are people without the responsibilities?

It's worth remembering that the Higgs particle was also predicted by the standard model, and no one underestimates the importance of that confirmation.

Edited by poster to conform with rules When you consider that your argument seems to be that we should ignore the efficiencies of scale and the removal of a pointless profit margin, because it won't be absolutely free.

I'm sorry, but no. A business can have interests that are obviously and deeply evil, such as in a very extreme example, the production of Zyclon B for the Nazis. It is a myth that earning money somehow insulates you from being scum, an

You know, it's ok not understand much about high energy physics, it's a complicated and somewhat obscure field. It's ok not to understand about what's already been achieved at the LHC, and what might still be over the de

An example I've given here before is: http://securedrives.co.uk/ There are other solutions though, and of course you can make your own if you feel confident about it.

^This. In fact you can buy readymade solutions now which physically destroy the NAND gates on the input of a code, or as you say, if you fail to input a code within a time limit.

More and more I'm convinced that the only solution is data destruction on a fail-deadly system. Like a warrant canary, if it's your default operation, you should be alright. As I always add though, don't keep your family phot

Agreed, but if you're on the receiving end, how much will you care about parsing the motives of the horrendous conditions you find yourself in? Mostly, if you're wise, you'll just want to avoid those conditions.

Yes, I would agree with that specific example too. I also got a chance to play an old NeoGeo cabinet with a game that was basically a jazzed up version of Pong... and it was still fun. Some gameplay just clicks at a deep level, and if the v

I'm really not convinced, especially when you add the role of environment; the epigenetic factors.

There's no point being upset by this kind of idiocy.... its endemic to humanity as a whole. It is frankly, the tip of a giant iceberg which is in the process of sinking us. “The release of atomic power has changed everything except ou

Definitely, you'd have bits rattling around otherwise, and maybe even some harmonic issues. Even if it wasn't a noise issue, it would probably wear out the tapes a lot faster, and lead to more jams. Then of course, you have Beatz

It can be a great way to build patience, and it's almost meditative I find.

Oh I have, I still enjoy it. I took about 15 minutes of getting used to, while thinking, "Oh man, it's just blobs on the screen!" and then I realized I couldn't put it down.

I don't have the same affection for 99.999% of the games I played in my formative years, most of which I played much more than Mario (I wasn't allowed to have a NES cry ). If nostalgia were driving me, I'd be into earlier ga

I agree... it's mildly amusing, mildly engaging, mildly informative... it's just mild in the best possible way. It actually feels a bit like looking over someone's shoulder in a workshop, in a pleasant way.

Most games definitely fade, and deservedly so. Others, from various incarnations of Mario, to various "Tycoon" games probably will stay around for at least as long as some classic movies. I would still happily play SMB on a NES ri

IIRC there was a similar study about six or seven years ago that found Nigerians were the most contented. Such rigor!
