   I guess you don't actually need to ground it. The Earth end of it could hover above the ground or it could be attached to some insulator.

   Am I the only person who holds their phone such that the base of their thumb is over the bottom corner of their phone and with the end of the thumb hovering over the middle of the screen? In this diagram the base of thumb seems to be halfwa

   Agreed. I don't think the language is right for newbies: "What is computing with Unix? Unix is a family of operating systems and environments that exploits the power of linguistic abstraction and composition to orchestrate tasks." That isn'

   The existing academic journals could certify only the works that meet their existing publishing criteria, and charge for this service, whilst making all works freely available. No one is restricted, and everyone knows where to go to avoid h

   There are many more people who are employed and thinking about starting their own business than have actually started their own business. Creating your own business: +1 job. Freeing up a position at your previous employment: +1 job. 1 + 1 =

   You're missing 'increased potential massive returns' from the right hand of your dichotomy.

   Most people might want that but this legislation isn't aimed at most people. It's for the segment of society that do want their own business.

   Surely some organization at some point is going to have to start paying licencing deals for using Microsoft products which violate some other organization's patents (I'm looking at you Google).

    I've often regarded this as one of the main cultural differences between Americans and Britons (with Gabriel being more like a Brit in this particular generali[z|s]ation). And my conclusion is that this phenomenon cuts both ways. There are

    Exactly. Is this not very similar to the program that was recently cancelled? Reading this actually made me quite angry, and I'm someone who is a fan of new technology, especially new space technology. What new ground is being covered here?

    I specifically didn't want to give an example. I thought it might appear that I was merely cheer-leading my language of choice and undermine the point I was making. However since you've asked I was thinking that perhaps something Javascript

    The culmination of the high quantity and frequency of the trades makes the relatively simple individual operations chaotic when considered in aggregate. Much like the weather.

    Perhaps there is some good reason for developing a whole new language. However my gut tells me that they should instead put their weight behind a new promising language that's still evolving.

    Thanks for the reply. Just while you're here, I was wondering if I could ask another question. Am I right in thinking that they used the HIV virus to 'program' the white blood cells? And if so, in the future might it be possible to reprogra

    Interesting. I just did a bit but I can't tell if it covers the USPTO? Do you know if it does?

    Would there be any basis to suing the USPTO? If it could be shown that their incompetence/negligence led to an organization suffering loss due to an patently invalid patent? (pun not intended but acknowledged).

    I can assure you that this issue is not specific to immigrants or immigrant communities. The problem is much more general. Multiculturalism, I believe, is a good thing but there also needs to be a positive common culture. Unfortunately ther

    For me this is simple opportunism. The authorities have clearly been overwhelmed and people are able to do what they like with impunity. I really think the state response needs to escalate.

    To whom ever might be listening and can do something about it: please use a JSON format and not an XML format for configuration files. Concision and aesthetics count. Thank you for your consideration :)

    I'm confused. I thought the main advantage of using inductive charging is that it could be a massive convenience boon. For example you could just place your mobile device on a charging pad and return when it's charged. This solution doesn't

    The detail needn't be fractal to be infinite though. It could be procedural e.g. a rough surface could be given infinite detail by using a pseudo random algorithm.
