Without a gravity well whose escape velocity exceeds c, how are they supposing hawking radiation happens in this scenario? Both virtual particles-antiparticles survive (and promptly disappear because one didn't just cross an event hori

At 9600bps. Almost every device supported 115200 - that would cut it down to to 72 seconds. And as I mentioned - pictures were often small (20-30kbytes) back in the day - that's barely 1-2 seconds at 115200. And the later 4Mbps speeds

I'm frankly baffled at all these reports of IR being unreliable and slow. It... wasn't. Not for the file sizes of the day. I exchanged plenty of files back in the day, even at 115200bps a picture would be 2-3 seconds tops (picture

It's also proof that antitrust laws are beneficial, if only they were enforced (a lot) more seriously and frequently and uniformly.

I get what you mean and probably there are people like that, but I consider it mostly an exaggeration. Simply - the GPL has some clauses enforcing some obligations (to prevent some rights from being taken away from you, the end user - accor

This is deliberate. To my knowledge, absolutely no US airports allow you to transit without going through immigration, and stopovers in the US are very hard to avoid because the FAA imposes a hefty fee to flights over the country unless the

There is no reputation to burn, they're well known to do this kind of stuff by anyone bothering to look it up, and nearly nobody looks it up anyway. It's a pity because I liked some of their hardware in the past (an NX camera I st

Gold is a chemical element, not an alloy or any kind of mixture of other things - so no, chemical reactions won't help you get gold. Nuclear reactions WILL produce gold - in many ways actually (none profitable afaik): - throw a neutron

Uh? Isn't that a reference to Nanny Ogg of Terry Pratchett's Discworld fame? Just like Vorbis is a head inquisitor (Exquisitor actually, of the Quisition IIRC) in Terry Pratchett's Small Gods (Also part of Discworld) ?

I agree with your point, generally, but after COVID-19, remote working is opening new use cases: I occasionally like to travel to somewhere nice, far away from the office, and work from there for a week, because I'm now allowed to. So

It makes complete sense. It's literally pennies for them, esp. when bought in bulk, it's read-only (more or less), and most importantly it absolves them of any responsibility regarding handing you some very sensitive personal data

Yes, it's being tested (NASA ran one for ~15 years continuously, which seems promising, I don't know if the test is still running), but I don't know if any were actually launched and are used in space.

Unfortunately a gravity assist maneuver is almost "incompatible" with an ion thruster. If you approach e.g. Jupiter you gain speed (it's pulling you in), which you then lose as you get away from it (as it's still pulling
