Nobody has said this is an easy solution, just that it might be a possible solution. If this one is as bad as you claim, what is the better solution you had in mind? Is that solution actually feasible? If your plan was "massive cut

I'm not terribly concerned about how recent Egypt's request to have their treasures returned are. They were stolen hundreds of years ago, now they want it back. I don't see any good reason why that request should not be hon

A remarkable effort but one performed by a Frenchman after the French robbed the Rosetta Stone from Egypt (and then later robbed by the English from the French). A European scholar was given the opportunity for this grand achievement while

OK so here's my first-hand experience. In the 20+ years that personal cell phones have been commonplace, zero flights have experienced an accident as a result of that cell phone use. The FAA has also walked back the ban on use of per

So when has this actually happened? There is a roughly zero percent chance that on any given flight, instructions to disable your phones are followed 100%. So, I think it's reasonable to suggest that literally every commercial flight

I think one of the major missing factors is lack of OS support for the sorts of features that NVDIMM could potentially bring to the table. Super-fast wake from deep hibernation is just a starting point, the real work is re-writing every li

Are you running an EMC CLARiiON array with the export encryption option licensed? What works on your desktop isn't really comparable to what Morgan Stanley had on the datacenter floor 10 years ago.

Also, you turn the handle in the desired direction of rotation while holding the lock ring. LTT has decided that the ring is what’s important, not the handle you are turning. I disagree but good on LTT for making something they want to use

This has never not been true, capitalists or politicians have always been happy to send someone else to be injured or die to make themselves rich. The article in the OP is shockingly ignorant of how regulations come to be, which makes sens

Matte finish cars are almost always wraps, and the finish is often times very difficult to keep clean. They're popular with expensive sports cars specifically because they are "exclusive".

One of the major benefits of a two stroke engine is the simplicity of the design, which lowers cost, reduces size, and increases reliability. Your proposal is a net loss on all these factors. A far better solution is to replace these sorts

Same as any other prediction I'd presume. Run it against a known protein and see how the answer lines up. Predict the structure of an unknown protein, then use traditional methods (x-ray crystallography, maybe STEM, etc) to verify.
