I would have expected, in this day and age, where computers are supposed to be much more powerful than needed for the majoirty of users, that C-style management of buffers would have been a thing of the past, especially in major software like Office and browsers.

But, judging from your post, it seems that is not the case. People still use raw buffers without bounds checking.

The principle "peformance first, safety second" has not done good. The majority of problems like this come from the programming language C which does not mandate bounds-checked array access.

What if we put nuclear power stations deep in the ground so as that any nuclear accident can be simply dealth with by burying the stations with the dirt and rock above them?

Since time is an emergent property of entanglement, and since particles can be entangled no matter what the distance is between them, then there exists a common clock for entangled particles, thus proving that the theory of Relativity is wrong, since these particles can be light years away.

If the above is not correct, then entanglement must break at the point of one of the particles exiting the light cone of an event, and after that there cannot be a common clock between them.

In TNG, Starfleet made it a regulation to alternate phaser frequences in order to fight the Borg. The Borg soon adapted to that strategy.

It would be strange for the bacteria not to adapt to the strategy of alternating antibiotics as well. It seems the bacteria have a very good pattern recognition mechanism.

...that says the seller or creator of game has no responsibility for the consequences of playng the adult-only game.

Then no one will be able to complain about kids having access to violent video games.

Pay some people or give the better commenters the ability to temporarliy ban trolls. That's how you solve the problem, not by removing commenting.

If someone copies a movie for free it's hard to justify the studio claims that they lost money because someone "would have paid for it" - who knows if the "consumer" would have bothered to watch it if they had to pay

But studios claim money loss after the fact - studios say they lost money because someone saw the movie, not because someone might have seen the movie. So, after the fact has happened, piracy *IS* money loss.

Why would an N dimensions black hole create a N - 1 dimensions universe? why not create an N dimensions universe or a N - 2 dimensions universe?

Given its experience, Nokia could have taken Android and polish it so much that it would have left its competitors in the dust.

Not only that, but Nokia could have brought Qt to Android and make Android application development extremely more pleasant than what it is now (and avoid all the legal problems with Android's Java).

In any case, starting with an existing functioning OS gives you a great advantage over your competitors. Nokia tried to not only compete in the smartphone market but also to create their own OS from scratch! and to add more salt to the injury, thet chose the same kernel as Android did!

Finally, Nokia could have invested in a proper Adobe Flash 11 implementation and have the only smartphone that can show the web like a desktop PC. That's what sold N900 in the first place anyway. There are lots of people who do not care about Flash, but there is also lots of people who are frustrated that they cannot play their favorite Flash games on mobile.

In Physics we learn that energy/matter cannot be created or destroyed, just change form, and that the universe is a closed system where the total energy/matter is static.

Recently we have also learned that virtual particles are constantly appearing and then disappearing and the void of space is not really a void but a boiling soup of virtual particles. But since these particles disaappear instantly after they appear, the net result is that the universe's energy/matter quantity does not change.

However, the idea in this article claims the opposite: virtual particles, i.e. the quantum foam, does not disappear, but it is added instead to the energy/matter of the universe, thus making the universe an open system. Isn't that a violation of the known physics laws?

But if the people of Earth are poor, who buys the products the rich make?

I think you are trolling. I searched for Qt's horrible design problems but I found nothing.

How does it overuse OOP? its design seems very logical to me.

From which features of C++ does it stay away? Qt 5 even supports lambdas as slots.

Which things are done better elsewhere? could you be more specific?

I always thought Qt had one of the best C++ designs. Which parts of it do you find horribly designed?

1) no matter how fast you move the torch, you will not see the torch's shadow move faster than the speed of light. The shadow will not be in sync with the torch's position, it will lag behind.

What you said violates the principle you stated, i.e. no information can travel faster than the speed of light. But a shadow could be used like a signalling device, and so if it appears to be moving faster than light, then we would have information transmitted faster than light as well.

2) Quamtum tunneling is indeed faster than light, but if it is used for calculations then it will also violate the principle you stated. I.e. if an electron goes from place A to place B faster than light, then information will have been received faster than light since we will know of that fact.
