Only if he is close to the first echo. Otherwise it could be any volume when it finally passes him by. That is just the price that he pays for his privacy.

Sounds kind of strange - America is not the only country in the west and as a brit I learned that the basic concepts of algorithms and algebra were invented in the arab world, although the actual forms that we use today were developed in the 19th century. The eastern front was where nazis were sent to die (from the historical documentry Allo Allo probably), and stirrups came west with the Mongols who used them as a decisive military advantage.

So you could equally conclude that American education is uniquely crap in the western world.

Grammar nazi mode: actually I think you'll find the plural of ex is oxen.

Given your level of understanding, it is probable that you have nothing useful or interesting to add to this discussion. Have you considered just reading other people's comments for a change?

The program knows your name.
The program stores your name.

Anthropomorphification is not much terser. However it is wrong - the intentional form implies many things that are not true. The non-intentional form indicates that the program works with a copy of the information. The difference between the two is where most bugs live.

Complete and utter bullshit. I can take you to have lunch in the United States and pay for it with money. Good luck doing anything useful or at least demonstrable with your "god".

Nobody is dismissing the idea; they're telling you that you're a fucking idiot for believing that the idea represents reality.

Non-idiots have been laughing at both of those things for years now.

As soon as you find one, please, let us know! That would be the biggest boon to science in history.

There's still some orchards I think, but small. And there is a fair amount of ag south of SV... but nothing compared to what it used to be. That said, the water issues first started back in the early 20th century when the crops and orchards changed to high-water-use crops like prunes. The area must have sure looked beautiful before sprawl + oak trees cut + orchards removed :)

Somebody with a Nobel Prize would disagree with you.

So you mean that they would need some way to stop people from seeing the reports that the torrent is fake?

Kind of like there would be some good content (accurate comments) and they would need to hide it somehow, maybe using some bad content.

Hmmm...... perhaps this is already a solve (non-)problem. We should get the astroturfers on it right away!

If it's not a volume problem then you just ain't packing her right. If it is a volume problem then you need to compress her to improve the density.

I guess the more expensive one was 4k?

I did exactly this for two years. In the end it was just too painful, partly in the eyes and partly in the neck. I switch to a T-shape for a while, but now I'm back to 2x landscape. Of course now it is too wide so I've centered one and pushed the other to the side. Eventually I guess I'm destined to go back to a single screen.

That sounds insanely cool. I can't remember what the issue was here, I think it was working out who was responsible for the wire at fault (customer, isp, telco) as they need to organise the repair as well as pay for it.

Nah, it's already supplied by the base system(d).
