I won't deny the criminality. I'm still not going to cause them thousands of dollars in damage over it.

I certainly don't deny that. Personally, I'm still not going to perma-dye someone's car.

Fart spray and glitter are temporary and relatively harmless. Permanent dye in someone's home are car is just being a jerk.

This doesn't seem to account for internally contained gliders. I.e. ones that are produced and consumed continuously.

They have a policy of _always_ changing it to match the title of the linked article. Most of the time this is either an improvement or (as in this case) neutral. I do wish they'd allow a little more editorializing, quite frankly. The l

I'm curious if its actually polishing for 18 months, or if its a few days of polishing, followed by a few days inspection, on and off.* I can't imagine they simply turn it on and let it run for a year and a half non-stop. * Or som

I'm not sure I see value here. All it's doing is providing a UI for switching between keyframes. The UI doesn't strike me as particularly intuitive. The resulting animations aren't particularly good. It looks like a fun

It plays tic-tac-toe. There are 304 matchboxes for each possible state in tic-tac-toe[1]. Each match box has three colored beads in it. Different colors indicate the next move to make. You take the state of the board, find the corresponding

Until cryptocurrency proves that it can use less energy than our current system while being equally useful at the same time, it's hard to argue that it's an improvement. The same can be said of this new "Chia" network, b

All you're suggesting is replacing an electric heater with ... an electric heater. That's not "green". It is perhaps more practical, assuming one considers crypto-mining practical, but not green.

When the call a wormhole "traversable" does this mean that an macroscopic object can actually survive a wormhole intact? Or are the referring to something more along the lines of a sub-atomic particle? edit: the article eventually

Part of the problem is not that you would hide the truth, but that you would make up lies just to appease your interrogator. You want the torture to stop; the torturer doesn't know when to stop. They'll keep hurting you until they

Because you don't want to see ads and are willing to pay for that? Possibly for a long time; possibly until Google shuts it down. Either way, you can show your support for the content creators who currently rely on ads.

I'm not sure where the "trust" issue is. You pay $x/month, you see less ads. If they shut it down, they stop charging you money and you start seeing the ads you saw before.

And yet... To make up an example, when I walk into a movie theater, I prefer to see ads for movies that I might actually go see. If I have kids, I might be interested in the latest G-rated film. If I don't, that probably won't tem

Well, to get 2.5 running I am going to have to build another box. I'll need a CPU and motherboard. Possibly RAM. I'd like to find that for under $300. Under $150 would be more ideal. I'm certainly not ruling anything out. I s

Close. Sadly the Celeron I bought that came out in 2011 doesn't support this. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681911... Do newer, but still cheap CPU's work with AES-NI?
