There's one level below that which I call Facebook Smart. The level below that is FWD: Read This!!!!!
I think that's the bottom of the barrel. Not sure where /. goes. Maybe between Google Smart and Facebook Smart?

I googled Dunning-Kruger effect and now I'm dumber.

Sure. It works both ways though.
You can ask a question that you want to know the answer to from someone you think is more of an expert than you: "Why do women wear burkas?"
Response "You are a sexist, racist and religiously and culturally intolerant."
The true reason is that they wear burkas to signify their humbleness before god.
Or you can state the facts as you see them and get ignored: "Skoda Technical's flowchart shows that we had to replace the computer FIRST, then if that didn't work, replace the fusebox. That's why we're charging you $2000 for the job."
That was after I explained very carefully that wiggling the fuses fixed the problem temporarily.
In the first instance, the expert assumed that I'm a religious intolerant for asking the question, sexist as we're talking about women, naive as it's culturally different and racist because women who wear burkas are from the middle east.
The second instance is where some intelligent German drew a yes/no flowchart which was technically correct, passed it onto the Skoda arm which was followed by their technical services to solve a problem.
Ask any old school mechanic and they would of checked the fusebox first, fixed the problem. Here we have a situation where efficiency in solving a problem is via a flowchart and not common sense.
So although intelligence is great, you also need perception and experience. The are too many dull eyes out there.

I don't think it's ALL natural. I mean if you mine 50% of the Earth's hydrocarbons and burn it over 100 years maybe, just maybe it might have a causal effect.
I'm not worried though. The Earth's climate is always on a continuum and humans have always survived.

They also tried (through genetics as DNA wasn't theorized) to bring back extinct animals - eg the Auroch. They were partially successful.

I'd like to see that with Silverlight....

I believe that the null gravity point is about 90% from Earth. It should remain stationary and would be a true space station and not orbital. It could be out of the earth moon plane as well, so you wouldn't have issues with eclipses.
I agree with the AC that the next one should be an unmanned freight depot about half way to Mars.

So what happens in 2024? They shut ISS down? I expect to see another crater somewhere in the middle of Australia soon after.
Anyway, if you are going to build another one, then move it far out at null gravity between the Moon and Earth, instead of stuffing around in Earth orbit, i.e. stationary. Make it count as a stepping stone at least.

OK So I'm not into this very much. I use some splitters and re-encode ripped video on the odd occasion with Handbrake. What got me though with HEVC is that the requirements for playback needs a multi-core processor.
I downloaded a 30 min video file (FTA torrent) and I was surprised with the smaller file size (about 30-40% improvement), but pissed off at not having a player for it. After searching around, I got VLC updated to play the file which looked promising at first. Unfortunately, it bombed out as it lost the audio/video sync within a few minutes and started to jitter.
Undie-turred, I downloaded a different source and found the same issue. The files just wouldn't play on a single processor successfully.
ATM I can't support this codec as I have a few old, single core laptops in bedrooms that are used to play video from my home server.

I remember seeing pics and descriptions of the Hydrogen Bomb in high school. Never bothered to examine the design again.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T... has the basic design. So what's the rub?

(picking teeth) Ain't that what we called a bootstrap loader in my day?

Mod up please +1 as informative.

No. It'll be another reality show "Carolina Butcher Hunter", probably on TLC or Discovery Science. If it would be on SyFy then it'll be crap.

Naah... Red Dwarf was the first.
Kryten decides to use the time wand to restore Pete to life (a bird), however it goes badly wrong as Kryten accidentally reverses the sparrow's evolution and turns it into a massive Tyrannosaurus.
