Bullshit. Sure, cosmic rays will randomly flip bits over time and cause OS degradation. But that is over months or years. It is it noticeably slower after a few weeks that is something else, most often installing random shit. Note: Chrome, by default, is always running in the background.

I think, while it might make sense to say that a 500 page book takes more effort, I think we might be surprised. I think like coding most of the effort can easily go into trimming a book down. Both authors wrote 600 page manuscripts, the one whole published the 200 page one just spend months more refining than the 500 page guy.

I would be happy if the government just stopped substituting them so heavily.

Which is trivial to circumvent, just outlaw hoodies and masks. I would really love to watch you try to enter any festival while obscuring your face. You would be in police detention within 5 minutes.

A corrupt official, or just a fan of Game of Thrones?

How it is any different. He is charged with aiding/helping ISIS. If he is also charged with helping a potential fighter it is probably because he told him he could take a 9am flight from AirAmerica and arrive at Syria by 3pm.

They should call this Kernel driver the "ADE 651"

Which works well if you are a competent person. But 99% of the people out there are mediocre at best and have a self inflated opinion of themselves, and would just screw up their career if they "took ownership" of it. By the law of statistics 99% of people who get passed over for a promotion were passed over because they were not the best candidate.

I do not know what happened in the last case, but this new "art" is literally just a screenshot of a post. Since he added nothign to it, other than a pricetag, no one would buy the transformative angle.

Call me when they have a chrome version.

This.Coco does not need sugar added, ever.

The author only makes clear his own bias. A journalist cannot hope to pick apart a scientific article, because they are not scientists. If they had the credentials that allowed them to understand and critic a scientist's work they would not be a journalist. What this article shows is a few of the methods the scientific community uses to generate esteem and keep their jobs by faking science. Pay to get your article taken periodicals do not exist because of poor journalism, there is an entire huge industry of scientific journals that has popped up like this to cater to biased, incompetent, and sometimes even dishonest scientists. It is ridiculous to think that the scientist would suffer any effects other than positive, as this is general industry practice.

No you don't. There is no law preventing homeless people from holding solar panels up above their heads, or mounting it on their cardboard box.

Presumably, the atmosphere's CO2 is far too concentrated and lased with deadly toxins.

Which is why it will never work. The kind of people who want to go into space, and the type of people people want to send into space are not the kind of people who are necessary for frontier living. The kind of people you would want to send to mars to develop a colony, are the sort of people you have always wanted to send to a desolate inhospitable location to develop a colony, the kind of people who say "Git'R Done" on a daily basis.
