The exact term is spaghettification.

I have a Nook. This has a passive screen. Great for reading in bed before going to sleep or in direct sunlight. It doesn't shine a light into your eyes keeping you awake. I believe the Kindle Paperwhite does have a light, but I guess you could switch that off. I'd probably just get the Kindle if I didn't already have the Nook. I can't see any advantage with the Kindle Fire over my Nexus 7 though.

How can you have emotion or desire without consciousness?

No. Even though it's called CERN. The research is very much sub-nuclear. And although the energies are higher, this also means the particles involved decay quickly. Similarly in nature, they're created with high energies, but don't last long. The A-bomb relies on the natural abundance of uranium or plutonium. These are unstable elements that can be triggered into decaying in a chain reaction. The particles at the LHC need a lot of energy to create, and they decay quickly. It's been suggested they could make an anti-matter bomb. You'd need to use a lot more energy making the anti-matter than would be released in the bomb. Anti-matter is hard to store: it will interact with any matter destructively. No one can make anti-matter in enough quantity. Even if they could, and despite the great energy efficiencies, plutonium and uranium is so much more practical, along with some fusion fuel, that the relatively low energy efficiencies of a nuclear bomb, isn't a problem.

What's wrong with nudity?

I suspect that Mantle would run a lot better on the AMD hardware though. DirectX 12 will end up with the most support.

I would, but it involves having two different homes and switching between them twice a year.

Maybe it's the one-hour shift to their sleeping-pattern, twice each year, they object to?

So you want to go to work earlier. Why change the clocks too?

What I'd hate most would be the fact that Greenwich would never be on Greenwich Mean Time!

The state consists of a superposition of the cat looking at itself, and it being dead.

The state consists of a superposition of you seeing an alive cat, and you seeing a dead cat.

If you do it, it's a superposition. If I do it the cat is either dead of alive.

The cat is either dead or alive.

It would have been better if they'd gone with Windows 11. One better.

To be fair: So is C.

What if they want to use an unsigned byte?

You'll only get fireballs inside the atmosphere. In space, you'll get jets.
