we've had quite a few very high intelligences in our society over time. None of them have posed an "existential crisis" for the the planet, the the human race, or my cats.
Only because the Vice Presidential Action Rangers stopped them from creating a singularity with the LHC. And that was when they were led by Biden but before they restored Gygax with the vampire bacillus.
Ok, I see some commentators in nerd rage already. Relax. If you don't want to see top sites when you make a new tab, Mozilla provides instructions to disable them. It's just a couple of mouse clicks
If you don't like my foot up your ass, I can give you instructions to remove it.
As a person adherent to the "dimwitted ideology", I concur and I don't think he believes what he preaches. He's not his father. He can scream civil liberties but refuses to answer why he voted for Feinstein's version of NDAA 2013 which had a huge gaping loophole that was on its face supposed to fix the provision that allowed the indefinite detention of Americans without trial. Even his buddy Congressman Amash publicly criticized the amendment and voted against it, but Rand went and voted for it anyway.
your traffic wasn't interesting enough
How interesting is interesting enough? Interesting enough to spend $5 on? $0.05? GCHQ redirected the slashdot site for Belgacom users to their own servers, so slashdot readers are at least that interesting, and mass observation programs like PRISM make it cheaper and cheaper to watch you.
Linux's MD raid10 isn't the same as RAID 1+0, so I'm not entirely sure it would be affected by this.
Hah. I remember that one!
Think about it some more. There is a place near the south pole where the effective circumference of the earth at that latitude is exactly one mile. So if you started one mile north of that spot you could go south, make the circle, and head north, and be back in the same place.
Then, as the GP says, there's an infinite number, because there's also a spot where the effective circumference is half a mile, a third mile, a quarter mile, etc., where you're just doing more laps around the same ring when you head west, before heading north.
Where there's a will, there's a relative.
