Finally someone says it. Thanks Rosco.

You'll have to admit that the "extremely high temperatures" part is funny though.

Get your facts straight. I was tought complicated math at uni which showed that this *is* possible. If you have two additional bits on top of the 8 in a byte, then you can recover from a single bit error.

The math is based on Galois' work, a French mathematician who died in a duel at age 21. Who knows what else he would have had for us if he had lived.

There was a time when nobody knew what privacy meant, but some people didn't use the supermarket customer cards because they didn't suspect it. Our mailboxes were filled with junk mail, and big companies could do what they want.
The only difference now is that some non-tech journalists think they know what privacy means (but they don't understand the extent of it), and that many companies spent an awful lot of money. Oh yeah and you can't keep record of anything any more, even if you're a simple small sports club.

The revision of the law will not fix all that. Please just get rid of it.

To add insult to injury, my physical mailbox keeps getting spam, so does my phone, and there's nothing I can do. The local politicians have written themselves into the law as an exception so they know everything about me even though I don't want that.

Oh well, if I wanted to be happy and have lots of money, then I should have become a lawyer instead of a software engineer. There's that little thing called ethos though.

Actually the government was warned that this could happen. In all their wisdom, they decided to ask a mere week in advance to not shut Doel 3 down. The response by the plant manager was polite but clear, I applaud him on both parts. Not sure if I would have stayed polite.

The original narrative in the Belgian press was different a couple of days ago. Looks like it got mis-interpreted along the way.

The article says the government is applying to the EU to ease regulation, to avoid all these empty flights.

Beside the point. It's not right for people to be able to analyse when I fart and patent that.

I can find any number of silly things and patent them. When I feel down and you can deduce that based on 5 questions, why should I be able to patent that ?

This kind of stuff makes it easy to set up a whole company infrastructure quickly

I disagree. From the question, you'll see she wants to do development work, and also run other compute intensive tasks (data analysis and simulations).
In my opinion, "anything" is not the right choice then. Go with at least a decent (4 core) i5 processor, or an i7.

As much fuel as possible ? Hardly.
The conclusion says "the broader objective of this new modeling approach is to enable a new class of cycle-to-cycle predictive control strategies that could potentially bring HCCI’s low engine-out NOx and high fuel efficiency to production feasible gasoline engines."
