To quote a great movie: "accident implies there's nobody to blame". I believe the person you are responding to would call the officer shooting himself in the foot a negligent shooting.

That's nice. What were they like 10 years ago? What will they be like 10 years from now? 20?

I'm not sure why you're modded funny. The relative sizes of the Earth/Moon system is a total anomaly, so much so that it is very very close to the point where you have to call them a double planet rather than a planet and moon.

WIC approved juice is required to be 100% juice. Full stop. Now, even 100% juice isn't particularly good for you, but the person I was replying to was decrying how hard it was to find juice that was "just actual juice".

No it isn't. Go to the juice isle. Look for things labeled "WIC approved". Done.

And this would be a lie. The only reason cell bills are high is because that is the price people are willing to pay.

To be equally pedantic: the meaning of words change over time, most especially when technical terms are adopted by the common population. When speaking of frequencies, transmissions, filtering, etc, broadband means exactly what you describe. When speaking of internet access, broadband means "high speed".

One of the biggest reasons a lot of people that use Google+ is that it's easier to keep posts relatively private. I don't need to have pictures of my kids published to everyone on the net, or tell everyone in the world when I'm on vacation, or have all kinds of crap out there for potential employers to find. Google+ makes it easy to post to a small (or large) group without posting publicly. Basing numbers on public posts is FUD, it's worse than meaningless, it's misleading.

What they are, admittedly awkwardly, trying to say is that the Fast Radio Burst was detected as it was happening, enabling follow up investigations to catch the immediate after effects. Previous such bursts were detected much later, too late to do any kind of follow up leading some to question if the events were even extra planetary.

Now now, we all know vacuum stabilization events travel out from their sources at the speed of light, if it were to happen it would be against the laws of physics to see it coming.

More interesting is one of the actual proposed explanations. A massive spinning magnetron gradually slowing down until centrifugal force can't keep it from collapsing into a black hole anymore. And when the source of the magnetic field suddenly gets cut off from the outside universe by being engulfed by the event horizon, the magnetic field has no where to go but... out. The most powerful magnetic field in the universe getting converted almost instantly to energy; creating a spark that lasts seconds and outputs more energy than the sun has in the past million years.

Actually it's not even that. It's 3D printed concrete forms, which are then shipped to the site, plumbed, wired, and filled with concrete.

Round trip to a satellite, 3ms. Hell, call it 15 if the angle is high. Then the satellite hops, which would take place at c with a microwave link, compared to .66c with fiber. Not to mention there are many fiber links that are anything but direct line. I could easily see such a system outperforming ground networks when it comes to latency. Now, congestion could be a problem obviously. It will have to be seen if they can put enough links into orbit cheaply enough to prevent issues.

You can, but if your busy looking for the one it makes it a lot less likely to find the other.

Why the hell are you storing important technical information on an email server? That's a much bigger wtf than IT and legal doing their jobs.

Depending on what you mean that isn't necessarily a bad thing in a programming course. If the purpose of an assignment is to learn about data structures by recreating them and you back everything with std:vector, you aren't really completing the assignment even if all the functionality is there. Of course, it's also entirely possible that the teacher just didn't know what they were doing or, more concernedly, simply on a power trip; so no judgement, just pointing out a possible counter argument.
