I disagree. It is completely possible with just a little effort. Here are very simple guidelines for using NoScript: Automatically block everything, if you trust a site, add it to a whitelist. Most sites work without js, if they don't,

That is not in direct competition to Bolt. If Instagram launched a game or a washing service called Bolt, there would be no problem.

What, are, you doing? Don't risk your safety and sanity, install a javascript blocker.

I gave up on level 28. Solving it would require pen and paper or some serious thought. The difficulty curve is excellent.

This is mainly done to prevent linking and hosting pirated material; think movies and music. Newspapers and blogs are just collateral damage.

How do you measure that. As long as most people are happy with television and similar crap( most free time is spent with tv ), city landscape doesn't really matter; at least on the grand scale; the first step towards nicer cities is al

It is simply needed to calculate which type of city can support more people/area. If a large mall can provide more goods to people that smaller shops that take the same area, then it is better.

I have never heard about detecting gravitational lensing coming from empty space. Do you have any info/references on that?

Because there are numerous calculations and observations indicating that it is there. In other words, the hypothesis is supported by evidence. That cannot be said for certain supernatural beings.

I think it a loss that a game with such original complexity has the most primitive graphics. Nobody wants 3D acceleration, but an upgrade to a simple 2D with sprites and effects with a better interface, would open it to a wider crowd.

Wouldn't about 12kg of laptop batteries provide 4kW?( wikipedia: ~250-~340 W/kg ) Put them in a backpack.

No Man's Sky doesn't have a seamless world. It is separated between space and planets. The first clue is the incorrect size ratio of ships to planets when in space and when on planets. The second clue to this is the video, at 2:16

Try this if you have a windows machine. http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt I have yet to see some a video advertisement on any site, and text ones are almost nonexistent on popular websites.

I did implement those, but the deeper understanding eludes me. Honestly I never gave them much though, when it comes to choose whether to take a week and learn it properly I always rather code or do something tangible. Except for linear alg

What area of programming are you in? There is a lot of math I don't understand because I don't have the background, and I wish I could. Differential equations and fft come to mind.

I don't think the tech is ready just yet. Can't the glass record under half an hour and gets really hot while doing that? Since the police are wearing a uniform, an integrated camera might be better.

What I think should happen in law enforcement is that everything should be recorded. We can expect that pretty soon with storage and chips becoming ever smaller. 10-15 years perhaps?

I would be satisfied with a ( future )society where everyone wears a recording system, officials have to or they lose their status, and the data is automatically encrypted and uploaded to state servers. Then if proof is needed, the legal sy

It is not the height but the speed. They would be moving so much slower in a higher orbit.

Astronauts on the ISS age slower, a couple of miliseconds per year. They age slower because they are moving faster and they are also aging faster because they are in a shallower gravity well than earthlings. When you add both together the f

threads.h are the lowest common denominator. If you want system specific functionality you can always wrap those functions. Static mutex init can be emulated with call_once() function, with some limitations of its own of course.

If we forget for a second the completely incorrect behavior of the Comcast operator. A correct response to a unsatisfied customer would be: My supervisor doesn't talk to customers. I am the support for the company, if you are not satis
