I wonder if Earth's space junk will, in time, move to form rings around earth.

is there a flexible display technology capable of providing a small bump per key dynamically when a virtual keyboard is loaded onto the screen. Perhaps a small physical keyboard hidden beneath the screen that gets raised mechanically when the keyboard is displayed, and for bonus points allows depression when the key is pressed.

Don't be so pompous, including a link to the Google search page. I was clearly referring to the new project that was apparently announced "just days ago" and not on the fact that Rasmussen moved from Google to Facebook. It was Zuckerberg who made the announcement, not Rasmussen as you so incorrectly alluded to in your previous post.

What? Reference, please.

Never heard of Gun Victim's Council of Australia, but I'm sure as hell glad it's difficult to get guns here. Sure hard criminals might get their hands on a gun to kill other hard criminals, but you don't have every kid who just hit 18 running to the shop to pick up a 45. IMHO that group is not wacky and I would vote their way if I was old enough when all that happened.

the close star you can see on the right, how big is it actually in the image? Is it smaller than a pixel, and the bright light just bleeds into the surrounding pixels, or is it actually about the same size as the white circle that can be seen?

I would find it more interesting if it contained approximate statistics for each type point. I will not spend time designing a system which caters for the 2 individuals having some weird exception to the detriment of millions of others which adhere to a much more useful schema. IE, sure you can just have Name and accept a 2048-length UTF-16 string to accommodate everyone, or skip a few outliers and have given and last names with certain restrictions to catch user error in the input.

Not sure how you were voted insightful. There is a huge difference between killing and having a pen and paper game where anything is allowed within the borders of that game. You've taken your argument beyond the ridiculous.

Just listen to yourself. Here you're not talking about a free market, you're talking about a completely free society.

Ability to trade quickly adds liquidity to the market, which allows an instrument to quickly approach its true value.

Phil Corbett groks journalism.

is a weaker assumption than almost surely not true... so it might.

I read your comment as the only serious thing an iPad is good for is serious constipation , and thought to myself "you're right, I could get one to replace the magazines in my bathroom".

I'd say that if an event is certain, we know 100% what the outcome will be.

CmdrTaco fails again.

Earlier that day at Microsoft...
"Hey Pete, we can't get the combined search and address bar to work properly"
"Hmm. Ok, don't worry, we'll just spin it as a security feature".
