Sadly in many cases no; it's not magic. This nirvana is restricted to cases where there is CPU bandwidth available (e.g. some cores idle) and plenty of free RAM. When either CPU or RAM are less plentiful... hello pauses my old friend.

A lot of sharpshooter/sniper types who have tried it seem to say it's pretty easy. Interestingly they tend to miss the first shot (like Oswald) due to the steeper downward angle.

A system that in some context has an inheritable genotype that influences its phenotype. I add the context part so we can say a virus is alive if the context of host cells is present, and otherwise not. Similar to how we are alive in the co

The name sprint comes from rugby, and just refers to what the team would be doing together to succeed (sprinting to the other end of the field with the ball).

I'm wrong on the work thing, but I don't think we can always regard deceleration as work, since that only works for Newtonian mechanics. Under GR there is an extra term in the equation allowing for acceleration without work.

One aspect of gravity waves is that other than being extremely weak, they cannot perform work. So they don't cause mechanical forces.

Consider just the aspect of randomness alone. How can the universe implement it? It seems like a really awkward problem. [But the Everett interpretation gives it to us for free]( https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/blog&#x2F

Anybody know anything about the part where SCO actually won? I'm referring to the final event years later where IBM made a settlement payment to them. I assume it didn't make up for the years of effort, but I'd love to know w

I remember reading about a serious tournament game where somebody castled twice. Nobody noticed during the game. I wonder how many computer databases allow that game to be entered.

From memory it wasn't so long ago that the laws of chess "allowed" you to play an illegal move to cause a checkmate (e.g. Qd1xf7 mate). Your opponent would say "hey that's an illegal move, take it back". You co

It still amazes me that in the 21st century no computer can use a couple of extra monitors reliably without sometimes not detecting them, getting in the wrong resolution, or other strange issues.

THANK YOU! It mystifies me how people manage to ignore this. Interstellar travel is going to be enormously difficult. Maybe just too hard to overcome regardless of technology level.

Apparently those random crashes were often caused by hardware memory corruption. I remember one manual basically said something like "if this error happens, don't worry about it, it probably won't happen much". And then
