Slashdot has gotten out of sync with the real world. In the real world, the webcast of the launch is still going on and TESS has not yet been released. Heck, the final burn has not even started.

You insensitive clod! My belief system is based around small containers, usually with a closure, used especially for liquids.

Tree Style Tab is planning on full functionality in FF57. You can track their progress here https://github.com/piroor/tree...

Check your facts before yelling that the sky is falling.

Please read the full EFF response letter. https://www.eff.org/files/2017... Zillow's TOS do not and *cannot* contain any basis for action in this case. Even the attribution line below the photos saying that they were found on Zillow.com is nominative fair use of the trademarked name.

The web cast cut off video of the barge immediately after showing the rocket upright. So when do we get to see the new robot for anchoring and stabilizing the landed rocket (the roomba)?

Really. If we stop collecting this important data, WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!

But dropfile doesn't log IP addresses of uploaders or downloads, so that's a dead end. Reddit does log IP address, so you go after logs that exist.

Actually there are small bits of dust clustered around L2 (Gegenschein). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... L2 is not stable, but it takes a long time to clear out the things that are there.

And you are assuming that there isn't a why. If our universe is just a simulation, then we might be able to detect information outside the universe, just as computer processes can detect whether they are running on dedicated hardware or sharing hardware with other processes.

While far-fetched, we might communicate with the beings running the simulation. This would be science - based on measurements. To date we have no evidence to explain "why was the universe created?", but "It just was" is a defeatist answer that could keep us from looking deeper.

But science does not dismiss questions about why the universe was created, it merely discovers the limits of what we know. The big bang is how the universe was created. The inflation of the universe is the event that we cannot measure beyond with the tools we currently have. "Why?" is still a valid question; and science says we lack the tools to gather evidence of "why?".

The copyright may have expired, but "The researchers adapted the original image with permission from Musée Marmottan Monet in Paris, France/Giraudon/Bridgeman Images."

So they completely ignored the fact that the art is public domain. Argh.

Even when you spend all the time and money to get the right nut for a device you can learn that you did not understand the load case and environment. SpaceX lost the Falcon 1 flight 1 due to the failure of a nut. http://www.space.com/2643-falcon-1-failure-traced-busted-nut.html

The cost of space rated hardware is the cost to understand the load case, not the cost of the item.

The content and advertizing companies are already tracking us in ways that are frustrating and scary (https://panopticlick.eff.org/). This proposal is about making it easier for me to tell the advertizing companies what I want to see ads for. No more embarrassing ads about my fetishes when I visit amazon, firefox tells them what I want to see.

This could be a good thing.

I would welcome a browser that mediates Fish and Chips http://www.arthurtreachersfranchising.com/

Just to make sure, I tried downloading the torrent data to see if it really is VLC, not just a rename of Game of Thrones content. But there are no seeds, so there is no data.

Why issue a takedown for a torrent with no seeds?
