Re: Obligatory Daily Fail angle
It will drive down house prices!!
Bubbles always drive prices UP!
When bubbles collide!
Are we alluding to the fact here that the mass of the Higgs is "low" and so the vacuum may "decay" to a lower-state energy with high probability (because not stabilized by a high Higgs mass?) I can only say... HIGHLY speculative. Let's talk about angles on pins instead.
Additionally. with some luck, the universe will be expanding so quickly by then that any of the multicolored bubbles will never see each other....

Muahaha!
Well, lawmakers do tie themselves into convoluted pretzels to simultaneously milk the cow without actually appearing to do so (if need be the "be social" label is applied to destructive policies) while giving nice rebates and deals to politically well-connected operators or just to influence decision making by private and corporate entities.
Someone on the other side of the board actually playing the game instead of playing the victim is thus very much ok.
On the other hand...
Re: Not that careful with the dates
Additionally, as there is no "universal t" and the time at which events apparently happen can differ significantly depending on the observers' reference frame for events "distant enough" (several thousand years for local observers moving at relative velocity of pedestrians when one considers what happened in the Andromeda Galaxy for example), it makes sense to enumerate things by the moment their light arrived "here".

Re: DIY wins, when it comes to hardware
> Why should I leave the self-made server to Google?
Because you are not Google.
I understand the concepts of "overestimating oneself" and "underestimating the time/money/effort/debugging between where one is now and where one wants to get by at least an order of magnitude" because I have been burned too many times.
These problems are out there. They will bite you. And then your whole rig crashes and you don't know why.
Did you include your salary and that of your colleague (and probably the other colleague who is on 24/7 call), btw?

The meteorite preferred to blow itself up rather than land in Russia.
Seriously, I would freak out when seeing this thing get bigger and bigger and bigger.

That's about 15 km/s. Not too fast, not too slow. As this is a morning impact, it must be a rock being overtaken by Earth?

"Europe, frankly, continues to be the mixed bag that we've been talking about, and we're not planning on any significant growth in 2013"
In this bag we find: French sozialism à la Hollandaise, EZB bailout money, some stale Berlusconi, empty pension funds, greek feta, a bit of Mali interventionism and ... donkey lasagne? As well as cynicism. Lots of it.

Ok, fess up, who in here is just in the larval stage or is one of those 12-year old "haxxors" one hears about?
Re: Hi!
Don't know from what moon you people are coming from but buying processing power on educational/governmental supers (excluding those from the military-surveillance complex of course) has always been the norm. It's not like you are going to run your Fluid Dynamics on Amazon ECC. Well, you can, but there are some drawbacks.
Abstract needed? Performance Analysis of High Performance Computing Applications on the Amazon Web Services Cloud
Cloud computing has seen tremendous growth, particularly for commercial web applications. The on-demand, pay-as-you-go model creates a flexible and cost-effective means to access compute resources. For these reasons, the scientific computing community has shown increasing interest in exploring cloud computing. However, the underlying implementation and performance of clouds are very different from those at traditional supercomputing centers. It is therefore critical to evaluate the performance of HPC applications in today's cloud environments to understand the tradeoffs inherent in migrating to the cloud. This work represents the most comprehensive evaluation to date comparing conventional HPC platforms to Amazon EC2, using real applications representative of the workload at a typical supercomputing center. Overall results indicate that EC2 is six times slower than a typical mid-range Linux cluster, and twenty times slower than a modern HPC system. The interconnect on the EC2 cloud platform severely limits performance and causes significant variability.
Re: There are multiple complex roots
"no, because the minus here is a sign indicating a position on the number line not an operator"
WHAT! Unary operator is unary. Symmetry operation around point 0.

> certain things should be nationalised (like telecommunications infrastructure)
Trevor, grow the fuck up. I have worked in a nationalised telecom infrastructure provider exploiting its telecom infrastructure "natural monopoly". Yeah no. Enjoy your soviet-era mindset and permanent fixation on finding the next justification to not change anything and destroy any stirrings of progress. "Somebody wants a modem? Can't we make this illegal??"
Another problem entirely is that natural monopolies are about as real as pink unicorns and there is no reason to make a fantasm actual by then granting actual monopolies. This is the mindset that tries to "create jobs" by increase of the monetary mass.
And if you want that, I don't see why you would roll over some protocol research.
The President signs something. That means things will get better, right?
Yes, he's in full control, well informed, has clear goals, knows what a president is about and what a president should stand for.
"That's why, earlier today, I signed a new executive order that will strengthen our cyber defenses by increasing information-sharing and developing standards to protect our national security, our jobs, and our privacy."
Glad that's cleared up. The administration can now continue to weaken national security, destroy jobs and eradicate "our" privacy via government control programs, as it has been doing for the last three presidential 4-year freakshows (if not the last four or five ones).
"just about every smartphone carrier used Sun's Java Mobile Edition (ME)
You mean used some kind of Java Mobile Edition. The incompatibilites and general crud of the JavaME implementations are legendary. I don't know out of what rat sewer these were pulled, but it was BAD.
Fscking ridiculous
"Advance copy of Harry Potter"
Yeah no.
Larry, take your public wankshow elsewhere. Don't you have patches to push out? Harry Potter books biting the reader, yes? Some pages that need to be replaced, perchance? Arse.

Gimme a part of that cake! Egalitarianism demands it!
"While many of the antitrust complaints against Google that are currently being examined by the Commission’s DG Competition relate to Google’s alleged abuse of its dominant position in various markets (under Article 102 TFEU), ICOMP’s complaint focuses on the unlawful means by which Google achieved dominance in the first place. The ICOMP complaint points to Google’s broad-ranging and illegal network of agreements with partners from across the IT sector, and explains that Google has reached its current size through anticompetitive practices, rather than because of any inherent technological superiority over its rivals."
Oh really? Oh well.
"Google partnered with computer manufacturers to ensure that every new computer they manufactured would have a search-enabled Google toolbar exclusively pre-installed. It agreed with web-browsers that Google would be the exclusive default search engine offered to their subscribers. Google paid computer manufacturers to make it the exclusive default search engine for Internet Explorer. It also agreed with major software providers that the Google toolbar would be bundled into their most popular consumer software products."
Wait, what? I must have been asleep on this one. Any examples? Additionally, there are lots and lots of weasel words and citations needed in there.
