Energy is matter is energy. And the reason why, is because you need to collect every bit of that energy come from our/a star. At the rate of energy we are consuming that’s about 600 (300?) years away. We won’t necessarily only be using energy coming from the sun, but it’s available, and there really isn’t a reason not…

This doesn’t seem to work too well on Samsungs. My Note Edge had the Google and S-Text widgets erased from the screen. As in, they were there before I installed it, and they were gone after I did. I uninstalled it, thinking the widgets might come back (after restarting, just to make sure...), and they didn’t come…

You create Dyson spheres for one reason, and one reason only. You are capturing all the energy from a star. The amount of area would be pretty incredible. Unless everybody is a hermit and doesn’t care how many miles it is till the next sentient being.

I said nothing of the kind!

Official clip is here, not the taken down one.

Also, good luck if you don’t speak French.

My dad worked as a quality control specialist for the DOD on inertial systems for airplanes and ICBMs. He had to fly out to talk to a vendor about bad gaskets. A person working for that vendor claimed that if the DOD wanted perfect gaskets, he would go through those 10cent gaskets and give them only perfect ones for…

The sound of a hard drive failing, as the sound of the head that keeps seeking and seeking and never quites.

You must be running 32-bit Windows. The NetDrive that you point to refuses to work with 64-bit windows. You have to go with the paid version for 64-bit. Or at least something that works under 64-bit.

The end of clean water.

The picture is in the silver box.

Well, I have Lollipop 5.0.1 on my Google Play Moto G. So it is indeed more than zero people.

I frequently do a Google image search on various things I'm interested in.

I would have used a different word than explosive on the headline. I was scared after the string of launch failures that we've had, that this was another one. But I saw the video and saw that it was a successful launch.

Exactly what I was going to post.

I'm using powerline adapters because I'm tired of fraking with my wife's USB adapter(s) (it's a desktop, her laptops, if they have a problem, always work after a shutdown/restart...) to get it working (again, or, which of them WILL work). Sometimes it's the adapter, sometimes it's the whole damn USB hub (which then…

You are correct. That it why the color monitors (CRT or LCD or Plasma, it doesn't really matter) are additive, and use Red, Green and Blue. Green light plus blue light gives you yellow. Paint and inks, like you find in your color printer, are subtractive, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow. The subtractive colors absorb…

Some emotions are too complex for words it seems. Or at least I still, after all these decades, don't have the right words to express it.

Too damn many. Google Drive, Box and Dropbox, for starters. procexp.exe for system monitoring. Various drivers that need support programs. A crap ton of Chrome stuff. 18 different loads of Chrome (no, not threads, loads..., although I suppose each load just starts a new thread, still, ridiculous...), a couple of…

Yes, I am and so can you!
