Don't they pretty much amount to the same thing?

I zoomed all the way in to the very far right of the image and with an incredibly crude estimation, determined there were about 10,000 stars displayed on my monitor. At the darkest part of the image. Whats weird is how close together they look. How come everything looks so far away from us?
The billions of tiny stars are actually nowhere near as large as they look in the picture. They are points of light that have been smudged out into little blobs by the image capturing process. The brighter the star the bigger the blob - that's why the nearer, brighter stars look much bigger, when in fact they are also virtually point sources at this scale.
His first post I can't find in the time I have, is intense as well as much longer.
Hmm, I wonder how many phones are valuable.
FWIW I have a Moto G running CM11, and it is vulnerable. I checked with this test:
env x='() {
Someone further down reckons that this can be exploited via a DHCP request, if you are connected to a malicous AP for example. Scary stuff.
There's a trend today towards removing long running 'advanced' functionality in order to give the appearance of simplicity.
Very true. Google Maps on Android is a prime example.
Yes, CREW biologists jerked off the rhino while he gorged himself. Pretty much any man's dream, right?
Yeah, those lucky lucky biologists.
It could be the identifier is a hash - there is some chance of collision, so cannot be guaranteed to be unique.
Yeah, it's pretty clear that "substantially unique identifier" is some kind of legal-speak for "hash code". I see what they're getting at, but the phrase "substantially unique" still makes no sense - either an ID is unique or it isn't.
5,978,791 - Data processing system using substantially unique identifiers to identify data items, whereby identical data items have the same identifiers
"Substantially unique" - I love that.
I wasn't aware there were varying degrees of "unique". Maybe there's a scale:
The best part is that this potentially allows for many moderately unique patents, each patenting varying degrees of uniqueness.
From the summary:
Definitely a different sense of the place than the one given by the reddish-brown posters I remember from elementary school.
That's because the picture has been altered to remove the red haze, in order to produce an image that more closely resembles a landscape on Earth.
From the article:
The colors in this image are not what a human standing on Mars would see — the presence of dust in the atmosphere would make the scene appear much redder. Instead, the pictures have been white-balanced to show how it would appear under typical Earth lighting conditions. This will help the Earth-centered geologists who are trained to recognize features based on how they look using more familiar light.
They're like your dad trying to dance at a nightclub.
You mean like this?
No court system in the world has any jurisdiction over "private contractors", or they won't be "private contractors"
Where do these people live? In space?
I challenge you find out what's wrong about the content of the bible and find an convincing argument why people who believe in Christ are doing it in vein. If you want to show that the bible is made up, or its text is corrupt, I'm going to put you through scientific method process and axiomatic logic reasoning to establish your case.
Have you read The God Delusion?. It does a pretty good job of explaining why religion, in general, doesn't make any sense, and it does so via a clear logical thought process. When I read Dawkins' book, I suddenly understood this quote from 1984:
The best books... are those that tell you what you know already
