Okay, that's the god excuses out of the way... now on with the physics!

Ok, physics may get to:
We found a model that accurately describes the current matter/antimatter balance, and it is experimentally proven to predict the behaviour of matter (at smaller scales, since we don't have one universe to play with).

Then the guy who asked the question should raise hand and say, Ok this tells HOW we end up being made of matter, but the question was WHY.

That won't happen of course because science must only yield a chain of facts linked by "because" that deal with the description of a phenomenon at various levels, but invariably ends with "because it's like that".

So, Why are we made of matter? because the universe is like that. You're welcome.

You forgot to mention terrorism. No candy for you.

Answer: get an impossible reputation for a testimonial, like having a foreign country looking to imprison you, so that they will have to drop the name without even needing a letter from you, duh.

He's referencing a sizable portion of what we call literature, drama.

I wouldn't go as far as that, but considering that sleep is garbage collection, that a lot of living creatures risk their life every time they go "offline" to perform it, and that it's the only occasion for nerds to have satisfying interaction with the other sex (in their dreams, that is), I am sure treating sleep with RESPECT.

Yes, people who want to avoid the requirements of the GPL, which asks simply for letting people get advantage of the code you distribute as you got advantage of the code you modify. "Freely you have received, freely give" (Matthew 10). Therefore if you love Jesus you follow the GPL, if you don't believe in god you follow the atheist Richard M. Stallman's license. Else you are obviously wicked.

BTW The New York Times is a troll generator, it causes imitation by feeble minded losers by devoting articles to these rookies.

Libreoffice does not require java for most commonly used functionality. It will just complain when launched by terminal.

Three years ago I installed libreoffice without java thinking: I will put java when it's necessary. Still not happening.

A lightweight install of libreoffice (only writer and calc and dependencies, no java) is also a good idea in many cases.

This is irrelevant.
A troll jailed for no reason is a fitting punishment for a troll anyway, so there.

The Alan Turing Institute For Automated General Spying, nice acronym too.
Cheap shot I know, except that the real name will be more hypocritical.

I am afraid other posters have given you the wrong answer.
The longest possible sequence of moves is infinite when the initial state involves swapping two colored stickers.

And the corporations selling this stuff cannot care less about it, all they care about is that we transition to patented and sterile seeds so we perpetually depend on them. All the fuss surrounding GMO is about this.

Needless to say, the corporations should be prosecuted as fraudsters unless those buying the seeds sign a contract which clearly states they assume all responsibility for what the seeds do to their environment and the nearby fields. Because if something bad happens it's the fault of either one.

No, he is right, the rise of _not the first_ social network which wanted your email password to suck up your contact list was an anomaly.

He does not likely admit that another anomaly is the disfunctional windows OS, the unusable as storage ipod, the locked down iphones and androids, secure boot.

Not that I expect consumers to make informed choices since they are badly influenced by advertising and doctored stats.

>>(35GB of uncompressed audio)
> It was so that lower spec PCs can run it.
OMG have you thought your answer through? that would be effective only for a PC which is powerful enough to manage the graphics and engine and does not spare the cycles for audio.

Given that a 166mhz pc from twenty years ago effortlessly decoded mp3s in realtime, that in the meantime people have improved decoders, encoders, formats that audio playing is parallelizable, that uncompressed audio requires uncompressed IO, I think "aliens wanted that" is a better explanation. The best of course being that a 45gb game is less piratable than a 10gb one.
