Also recall the Stargate Universe pilot.

First, you have to ask the same thing about mathematicians' brains and abilites (organic HW and SW). Second, of course that a proof assistant has to be able to print out a trace of the reasoning process. That's the whole point (or one of them).

Hello? We've had symbolic computing ever since 1960's. There are many software tools today to assist mathematicians with creating and verifying proofs (e.g, Coq is probably the best known one). What's wrong with using them? Not to do that would be like using a pencil and paper instead of typing when you're preparing a publication – I'd think that brain power and time should be used constructively.

Hey, stop right there! You're being optimistic!

Wasn't there a song about it? Something along the lines of "Too much laugh will kill you"...

This is like saying: Some companies have prevented their drivers from parking their cars in the bad part of town (i.e. the cloud). These guys all drive Fords, but I drive a Chevy. So why not leave my Chevy in the bad part of town instead!

Oh wait...

I'm pretty sure DropBox runs its servers on Linux, but that's completely beside the point. Guess what's more secure? A fileserver that you own and physcially control that happens to be running Windows that's properly configured with strong ACLs and sits behind a VPN gateway... or a Linux powered PHP CMS setup that is leased from one of your competitors and is accessible to anyone who can guess a username/passwor combo?

Guess what: that example doesn't mean that "Linux is not secure" or that "only Windows is secure" either. Frankly, BOTH can be insecure and BOTH can be secure based on the usage and competency of the people who set them up.

Far more countries than that involved. Namibia, Botswana, Mozambique, Kenya, Zambia, Mauritius and Madagascar will all have dishes too.

You know what? Continue attending your high school and return back to me after you will have studied the law of conservation of energy. Look out especially for mechanical energy and its exchange between potential and kinetic form for a body on a free fall trajectory.

You can't slingshot unless you have three bodies. Sun, Earth...and what is the third one, larger than Earth, that Earth regularly approaches?

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Just to clear things up. Just because someone comes up with tech you don't like, that doesn't mean that you can claim "copyright violation". If it is okay to record all of it, then it must be okay to record part of it. And before you ask, no you can't file a DMCA takedown notice either.

Oh, and destroying underpinnings is called capitalism. Ask anyone who manufactures buggy whips these days. Oh that's right, automobiles destroyed the buggy industry's underpinnings. I forgot.
