   Wouldn't this theory be easy to prove by sequencing brain tissue samples from deceased patients? Probably more than 90% of the reads would be human, but still.

   I saw it on a cinema, and it is truly worth watching it on a big screen.

   I am not sure if naming anything after the Aztecs is a good idea.

   I remember doing this when I was working for Sun Microsystems. We had to install Solaris in a quite large number of Sun computer for a big client and we did all of them with tftp.

   When I see these pictures, as impressive as they are, I wonder what kind of scientific facts can the astronomers extract from them. With my layman's eyes, it is very clear that there is a dense galactic center and dust clouds between t

    I think it's a brilliant plan! Your wife transfered the cost of ownership to the library :-D

    I "discovered" libraries. They are cool! They usually offer more services than just books. But you have plenty of books that you don't need to keep after having read them, and the trip to the library is like a discovery journ

    You don't tell me! Can I get paid for this? How much do you charge?

    I am getting more and more furious while watching the news. How useless and psychopath they are. So what happened here, is the Conservative Party controls the autonomous region of Valencia, while the central government is controlled by the

    I guess you can tell the same to the russian speaking people of Donbas that have been bombarded by Azov before Russia entered the Ukrainian civil war.

    I find them mesmerizing. Sometimes, not always, I like to observe how the different washing programs work. I also think how the different components work and how I would write the code to accomplish the same functionality on a (probably) ve

    I wonder whether the iron law of bureaucracy could be a special case, or maybe related to, the iron law of oligarchy by Robert Michels.

    I can imagine that they had access to the wallet passwords, otherwise it's impossible. At least with bitcoin, other cryptocurrencies, maybe.

    There are a lot of people saying that bitcoin is just another bubble and it will burst one day like the tulipmania bubble. Maybe, maybe not. I don't know. However, there is one thing about bitcoin that is absolutely true. It is un-seiz

    I'm old enough to remember the world without a constant presence of the internet and connectivity. I wonder how much energy these datacenters have actually saved thanks to technologies like google maps, email, online shopping, etc..

    That can also be said about other social groups. At some point, entities like a nation, a country, a social class and others develop self-awareness. Although, there is a difference; while an organism is the one saying "I" and not

    Since hardware is the most difficult piece to replicate exactly for a reproducible build, should we say that for a complete reproducible environment we need an abstract virtual machine?

    A $COACH_COMPANY in the UK has recently announced that they are moving to only app-purchased tickets. Except tickets purchased directly from the driver, which is VERY expensive. Well, F.U. $COACH_COMPANY. I don't want to have to instal

    I remember when I moved to the U.K. and asked at my new workplace for some memory sticks. - How many do you need? - Two. And I raised two fingers accordingly. - Here, in the UK, you don't do that with your fingers. That day I learnt so

    So, a memory chip was damaged? And if that is the case, a cosmic ray did it? [..] "Further sleuthing revealed the exact chip causing the problem, which allowed them to find a workaround. After the team relocated the code to a new locat

    Interesting, some say that the US is the only real democracy in the world. The UK is not, nor any other countries in the world. They base this assertion in two principles that any democracy should fulfill: 1) Power separation. 2) Representa
