It's just the actual view on the other side of the Reality Distortion Field.
Eastern European attacks a legacy of high quality science and maths education?
The good news is that we don't have to worry much about dangerous stuff coming out of the "Freedom Coalition Countries" anytime soon then. This code ain't getting built with "Web Skills"!
And the infrastructure to allow our future controlling intelligences to access everything over broadband is being rolled out with the last gasp of the western economies (assembled in China, natch), to usher in the "digital economy". Hah! A fiendish plan if there ever was one.
It's like "A Deepness in the Sky", only without aliens.
Some did a latex-glowed inspection, pulled out patents
Well, we know this is not about protecting revenue streams of "valuable intellectual property."
"The IT industry’s ongoing battle to outlaw itself"
Yep, Prisoner's Dilemma. With a secondary matrix in which lawyers win on the diagonal but never lose.
Posted in Did GM food cause GIANT TUMOURS IN RATS?
Ohh... homeopathic levels.
Does this study also try to get positive evidence of homeopathy? Though wouldn't treating the mice homeopathically with roundup cause the inverse effects of roundup (according to the tenets of homeopathy). Come to think of it, what are the effects of roundup on these poor mice? Come to think of it, what happened to the study apparently showing mice fed GM-engineered potatoes dying horribly? It was once on TV for a week, then disappeared forever.

Re: Need to independently study GM vs. "Roundup"
Roundup is used against weeds, not pests.
Re: FTL travel must be possible...
Where you probed AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT?
Must have been "The Flash" of DC Comics.
Re: Light speed is not the limit
This is so wrong I don't even know where to start.
Well, yes. " If you can switch off the mass field of an object..." BZZZTTT. The candidate FAILED.
Just no.
Amurrica, fuck yeah!
Don't know why downvote.
Re: I don't get it
It appears to be international "talk like a pirate" day, mate.
Re: You are doing it all wrong
Greg Egan, is that you?
Here we go for another serving
Most obvious shite with more previous art than one can carry in a shopping bag put on paper and rubberstamped by the patent office, ifanbois jumping to the defense, people who are of the opinion that patents are important to defend the starving inventor and to give value to "intellectual property", RICO claiming that WIndows is bugfree etc...
Anyone interested in scheduling and intercommunication issues in systems with massive thread count should take a look at the August issue of IEEE Computer. Of course, the IEEE has still not convinced itself to fully move that magazine in front of the paywall, but one can easily snarf it from the neighbour or the library.
Actually, as Iraq has not renewed the SOFA in spite of prodding of all kinds, they are outta there (though Team Obama and the Progressive Blogosphere has spun this as a wise decision by the Leader to move out of the country after liberation "head held high". Yeah, right.)
This doesn't mean that the situation has improved, people might end up in Maliki's torture dungeon, be shot by some Shia armed outfit, be shot by Kurdish Peshmerga or be gunked by well-armed Sunni Fanatics in the sandy western part (if they are not busy rioting in Syria).
Re: Why anonymous?
Can Anonymous please dox the tremendous faggot who makes up prison rape jokes as AC whenever an article about law enforcement comes up?
Re: Perhaps....
"what if this is actually incorrect"
There is the problem. You can't start by postulating magic stuff.
The quantum thingamabob drive presentation is of the same caliber: "Here is what I would do if a had a magic space drive not needing any reaction mass!". Unfortunately it doesn't explain the magic space drive not needing any reaction mass.
"warp 10 became infinite velocity"
But back in the real world, the "infinite velocity" is still c. The world isn't euclidean, deal with it.
The showers are on the left.

Re: And the gamma ray mega radiation kill thing?
> No warping within inhabited planetary systems.
I foresee customers rioting due to boredom while waiting for the ship to get down from the Kuiper belt.
Re: Where can you get Exotic Matter from?
Go to tesco. Look for the meat counter.
Re: Weighty matters
> thereby instantaneously travelling away at the speed of light
Unfortunately in all directions at once.
Yes, there will be a ceremony at Arlington later today, brought to you by CNN/Interplan.
Re: Oh noes!
There are no oscillating EM fields "inside" photons.
The EM field is the classical approximation of the "photon field", which is a quantum field which you query for its properties and you get a photon in response. Getting from that to the EM fields demands some major linear algebraic trickery and operator algebra that I'm not ready to perform.
And while "simultaneity" depends on the observer, "causality" does not. If A is in B's future lightcone, B can causally influence A.
Re: I want to see an experiment
Has anyone looked into whether phone masts interact with DARK MATTER or attract transdimensional soul suckers due to Mandalas inadvertently created by all that circuitry?
"The buildings' boilers shall be in the same room as the caller team."
I'm sure complete call centers are now being built in southern Italy and eastern Romania
...just to exploit this professionally.
Re: Oh noes!
Not to mention that "proper time" on an object going faster than light sure will be something of highly mathematical interest. Proper time for photons stands still, btw.
All this FTL and quantum blah is just schoolyard fantasy stuff. If all your experiments and all your math tells you that you are on a hiding to nowhere, what you gonna do? Invent zero-point energy?
Re: Simples
This is a joke, right?
"Phone A will now be talking to Phone B whilst Phone B will be talking to Phone A."
Yes, it is.
However, if mobes cause LUNG CANCER....
Then the effect will be hidden because there is a significant part of the population that avails itself durably to both of these vices at the same time. We are talking about "wimmin".
"Help me, Apple i Fanobi."
"You are my only hope!"
Re: developers will be developers
Let's take a light look at CoffeeScript.org, which reveals this intriguing project to our red-rimmed, coffeine-infused eyes, and after perusal, dare I say so good Sir, I thoroughly disagree with your clearly cynical commentariation attitude, which, although often de rigeur in this hive of scum and villany as we presently attend, might well be a tad off-base in this precise case.
> Or did the code suddenly become faster
That might be possible
> less buggy
Better, more compressed syntax means less bugs, yes
> better usable on slow browsers and behind shoddy links
That's a design problem
Overall advantage: YES, GO FOR IT.

Some MIT lab had an alarm clock that you could throw across the room to make it stop pestering you IIRC
Give it a rest Lewis
A single temperature outlier expunged? Newsworthy? Film at 11.

Re: Why blue LEDs?
The first time I saw a blue LED was as the power indicators on the front bezel of a VALinux server.
It looked cool! Those were good times.

Re: ISOs and rugged

I hope Microsoft doesn't actually pay you for this Genghis Khan Subliminal Marketing effort.
You should also check where in a virtualized system "security" enters the game. It's instructive.
SHLIIING!!
El Reg, could please add a "supernova" lightflash effect to Tim Cook's teeth as shown on the main page?
Possibly using an animated .gif
He partnered in business with a sociopathic control freak with a knack for marketing who got lucky 3 times out of 6 or so.
It could happen to anyone.

Re: Scorpion Stare
Unfortunately all the companies able to implement it are now either owned by US or Chinese interests or else on the government black list. You gotta face the Elder Gods with bare hands.
Meanwhile, iPhones with frankly dangerous level of demonological glamour are being pushed at unsuspecting punters. What can one do?
The usual Florian Müller trolling shite, but apart from that...
...how are these patents enforceable in Germany in the first place? Isn't that a country of progress and staid innovation in which these kind of patent faggotry are not valid?
Re: No surprise there.
> If you think any banking it is cheap, you've got another think coming...
Like a bailout?

Re: Only a matter of time
High-powered lasers and good optics to blind those things?
"Open the attic window, blast the drone, then close the attic window"
Microsoft wank and faps
I am currently noticing that basic print queueing still doesn't work in any reasonable way after ... uh ..... about 20 years? Granted there is a Brother printer on the other side, but still.
How hard is that? Yeah it's not.
Yeah, why dontcha fix that first, Microsoft? Faggots.
Re: As
But isn't it cooler when Clippy tells you that your RBMK is going to die messily in a couple of seconds?
Re: Reason for Apples success....
Upvote for someone who knows Mencken.
" As such Apple hysteria is hurting our economies and undermining one of the main things supporting our way of life."
Oh well.
Don't you think after the economy bubble, kept afloat by politicians and central banksters (the former with increasingly highly stained pants, the latter with increasingly large cars) via cheap credit and "bailouts", it's a bit late to complain?
Re: impressed
"Wikileaks assuring us the Manning dump was supertopsecret and groundbreaking, and it turned out to be 99.9999% boring"
Maybe, though all the US political glitterati and national-socialistas from left and right where pretty much screaming bloody murder (literally!).
Sticking it to these people alone makes it worth it.
"small insignificant country"
What's it with people trying to classify countries that were flattened by B-52 as small and insignificant?
Re: @nuked
It's right next to Vietnam. Shurely that must ring a bell?
Buttons a hack?
Now I understand why buttons disappear without reason in Gnome applications, leaving one clueless as to whether a modifcation was transacted or not. Yep, gotta close the window instead. It's intuitive and all that.
"vol +10; set channelalias 10 -name 'my porn channel'; open 'my porn channel'"
Self-indulgent prettyfication.
I think every designer should be forced to first design a CLI interface to his gizmo so as to really THINK about what he's actually doing and to weed those out that are better off designing Magic Hollywood Machine Interfaces as seen in movies.
