I don't want to give my CC details and/or my personal information to every merchant. This usually means I either buy from fewer merchants, or pay with bitcoin if allowed. Obviously, if the merchant is going to require my info anyw

Some cities are important in every category though, just by virtue of concentrating a lot of the population. For instance the US would be pretty much in complete disarray for decades if the coastal cities of California and the East Coast we

Nothing of that contradicts the premise of what I said. Neither India or Pakistan would jeopardise the very existence of the other nation, because rather than just lie down and die they'd get a farewell message from the other side.

This simply wouldn't happen. These countries would have to deal with such an internal collapse they wouldn't have much of an organised military left. Also, there would be widespread division - the powerful wealthy individuals woul

Some landlocked nations would be virtually unaffected but the sea level itself, though. There's also countries that have most of their main cities in the interior (Russia being one).

A bit hyperbolic but definitely all the major coastal cities would be gone. This is what would remain: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2013/09/rising-seas/if-ice...

This war has most likely stayed low level because both countries are aware of their nuclear capability. Probably not the happiest of developments but an all-out war is unlikely between nuclear powers.

It's basically a Spanish symbol by all accounts, with plenty of evidence of usage prior to the Independence of the US. The "real de a ocho" remained legal currency in the US for many decades. http://en.wikipedia.or

AFAIK he made no money whatsoever out of it. If it's not necessary for him any more, and doesn't make him any value, it's hardly difficult to understand he doesn't want to continue working on it.

His point stands though. GPG never caught on as a commercial product or something that people would pay for. Both are Open Source, that's not the issue.

It doesn't, they just can afford to bleed cash all over the place do that thanks to their monopoly money, which is virtually an endless resource.

Yeah but I don't think its niche will change as much. It fell slightly short in terms of processing power at not so many things. Obviously the faster the better though.

Because they are a for-profit company. Generally investing in stuff and then scraping it immediately before it could possibly work, is not a very good idea.

Underpromotion happens in tournament chess, and en passant is fundamental. Without it it's a different game as pawn blockades work differently.

The main media in Spain will start hosting sites abroad to bypass this law. This law is basically a way to hinder smaller media more than collecting money from Google, and in this respect I guess it will work.

It's similar to the Google China situation back in the day, except Spain won't block access to foreign versions of Google News. Effectively, no Spanish-Spain news in Google news. I wonder if other Spanish-speaking versions of Goog

In real terms it does happen, since branching factor makes true perfection impossible in chess. You can play theoretically superior chess and calculate more positions than your opponent and still lose the game, although it's very unlik
