Simulation in video I linked is not MOND. Dark Matter is postulated due to observations of galaxies in isolation. BUT galaxies are not gravitationally isolated. They gravitationally affected by all the other galaxies in their neighborhood.

Dark matter is going away, regardless, because it is not necessary to explain galaxy rotation curves. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PL0ewiwqoTw Dark matter was always just a way to fudge what was observed. It is hard to b

Everyone is missing the fact that even if this technology was available 100 years ago, and worked just like we wanted, you could not get to Mars in 39 days. It would take about twice as long, because you have to turn the ship completely aro

The assumption is that developers need free reign. One would hope a developer is a technical and savvy user. Not for nothing, Gatekeeper once did not exist. Myriads of Mac OS X users were not p0wned. But your point is not lost on me.

Disabling Gatekeeper From the Apple menu, open the "System Preferences" application. Click on Security & Privacy > General tab. If the lock in the left-hand corner is locked, click on it, then enter your Mac's username

As I have long suspected, though computer science is a subset of mathematics, cosmology is actually a subset of computer science.

I was suggesting nothing of the kind. But certainly it wasn't the other way around, either. My only point is that the AppStore is not the Second Coming. It is and it only is a package manager. Just like all the others that came before

How about Cydia, which predated AppStore by 2 years?

AppStore is not a speadsheet or a word processor. It is not a graphics editor or text editor. It is a package manager. That is the kind of software it is. AppStore "automates the process of installing, upgrading, configuring, and remov

iTed Hodges, sorry that happened. But you seem to be a little passive aggressive. That is only one symptom of a notorious psychological disorder, so it is a shot in the dark here: were there any other social conflicts at work previously? An

I have prosopagnosia. I only learned what to call it about 5 years ago. But it is not total and complete. I recognize faces when I see someone I know where I have seen them before. But if I see someone I know in a new location I have never

I was pretty depressed when Kodak discontinued Kodachrome. There was one place that still developed it for a long while, but then they shut down also. Luckily, Fuji still makes Velvia Fujuchrome. They had discontinued Velvia 100 in 2005, an

That's interesting. I didn't get to touch a 601 until the 604 were common, side by side in a commercial environment, the older machines gunked with more use (old installs) and more users over time, thus my opinion is biased and wo

Answer is simple, explanation is complex. Wait, unless you need to run virtual Windows. x86 always sucked. It was always a dog. Everything that ever competed with x86 was technically superior to x86, including 68k, PPC, and ARM will be no d
