N time zones

Raise your hand if you fell for it this time.

Given the deep contempt that Facebook demonstrates toward even the idea of personal privacy, I don't think I would want to trust them with my credit cards.

They're actually setting up to track us all everywhere we go in our flying cars.

When I was an "avid tinkerer" (in my case, backyard mechanic), $200 took some scrimping but it was a good price for good tools. It compares pretty favorably with the price of a good-quality torque wrench, and very favorably with that of an air compressor and set of air tools, even cheap ones.

The answer is none. None more bad.

CPUs idle when not doing anything. Processes though can do all sorts of crazy things like, polling something constantly, which keeps the CPU loaded. Why someone would do that is a mystery, but that people do it is not.

It should be obvious if you're the server by looking in the console. Your ping would tend to be a giveaway as well.

Privately owned toll roads.
Private or home schooling.
Highway robbers?

So you mean we couldn't manage without the government?

I mean we even launch space shuttles privately now. What do we need a government for? To tell us we can't drink until we're 21 even though they will ship us off and kill us at 18? To fine us if we don't wear a seat belt even though for nearly 100 years people drove in cars without them just fine. To put us in jail for growing a plant in our own backyard (with a federal minimum sentence of 5 years!). To buy trailers for people who built houses in a flood plane, even when the citizens in the surrounding counties (myself included) offered to have several families stay with them until they could rebuild.

Even well intentioned governments are oppressive and wasteful.

Why if the UK Post Office goes on strike, and nobody notices, because UPS, FedEx, and other private companies (plus email) fill the gap? It would be ironic if the Government Strike proves that the government-run service is no longer needed.

Hmmmm.

I hope the U.S. Post Office goes on strike next. Who need them? Not me.

Which is about up there with figuring out how to make 2 + 2 = 4.

Everything currently points to it being flat out impossible. Not improbable, not a a tough problem to figure out (ie, usable fusion generators or something that is just a hard problem), but not physically possible.

Assuming that all insolvable problems will magically become not so given enough time and technology isn't a wise bet.

Is it just me, or do the video and article both CLEARLY state that it's rat brain cells, not human brain cells?

if it's in clinical trials? Maybe it won't pan out, but it is a physical product.
