If we don't know whether the universe is continuous or discrete, how can we know how much digital information is in a raindrop? If the universe is continuous, the distance between any two particles can be measured to an infinitely more

The difference in a 20 year annuity and a 30 year one is significant, but not that significant. GM could easily cover the difference with the dividends they have irresponsibly paid out in the last 10 years.

What if the only reason it forbids it is to prevent Opera, Flash, et. al. from coming to the iPhone? Then Gruber has his cause and effect wrong. Even if he doesn't, this is still sick in sort of the same way that Alumni preferences keepin

Historically basic research in corporations has been done by monopolies (Bell Labs for instance)--therefore there is no tragedy of the commons problem: they are the commons. Microsoft research is just another example of this. (edit: I'm d
