More interestingly perhaps searching for “<term> -n to n” where n is an integer returns no results (e.g https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=google+-1+to+1

Posthuman - Mutant City Acid (https://bleep.com/release/111312-posthuman-mutant-city-acid), released a few days ago as it happens.

But forking is a consensus decision of miners on the chain. Nothing to do with the DAO or its implicit or explicit terms. By that logic I can write a contract that dictates future behaviour of anyone choosing to mine this particular block chain.

This [1] is a recent album produced entirely using a (physical) Synthi A - shows what can be done with one.

A well written and brutally honest article - the author should be commended as this kind of honesty is what's needed in beginning to address mental health issues. I did feel the last throwaway point "don't date the crazy chick" let it down slightly - by his own hypothesis she too was suffering (bad) mental health issues and blithely shifting blame to her seems a little off.

It's worth pointing out that Chrome had a similar issue on iOS at one point [1] - not that it excuses them in any way.

To be fair it's on the Newsbeat "magazine" section of the bbc which is intentionally more informal / gossipy and also aimed at a young demographic. Still a fairly shoddy article though I'd agree.

For the purposes of European research funding it effectively is.

A lovely map, but the scale could be calibrated slightly better - 5% growth is coloured the same as 25% growth, it would have been interesting to see areas of extremely high growth highlighted as well.

What was your hypothesis out of interest?

Do you have any comment on the claims relating to the Department of Defence?

On that note, this (http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_Lazarus) is worth watching if you can get hold of it. It appears to be on 4od for uk viewers.

Why mention it at all, the possibility that one party is attracted to the other applies to all interactions.

Or it could have been that Turing was a friendly person. The fact he was gay doesn't mean that any interactions he had with men where on the basis of attraction.

The raids were part of an operation cracking down on gangs - the parts were found during that raid. It was not that the police raided somewhere because they suspected there were printed gun parts there.

I think the reason people got slightly sniffy about it was the use of the word 'foreign' in a negative context, which, whether or not it is intended, will be interpreted by some as xenophobic. Had it been stated as '...having unintelligible accents...' it would probably have passed without note.

That's part of it but mainly this - http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/aug/18/glenn-greenwald...

To be honest the outcome is probably beyond their wildest dreams.

I suspect it would be to do with spotting visitors bringing in illicit mobile phones not prisoners.

I doubt there are 475000 take-off and landings per day from Heathrow despite how busy it is!

And the death of Steve Jobs -> http://www.waybackletter.com/archive/20111005.html

Pressing tab will move the focus to the send button, hitting return will then send the message. Presumably this is what you did. Possibly not ideal, but I'd disagree it is an invisible, undiscoverable (tab to move focus is standard), and irrecoverable (you must also hit return).

I honestly thought from the title that the post would be a mea culpa for just that.

Look at what happened with DNA sequencing[1]. Linear extrapolation isn't always the best predictor of progress.

The link goes to a project last committed to in 2000. You surely can't be objecting for that reason.

They have already issued a full apology (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/gordon-brown/617011...) which contains the following - "While Turing was dealt with under the law of the time, and we can't put the clock back, his treatment was of course utterly unfair, and I am pleased to have the chance to say how deeply sorry I and we all are for what happened to him. Alan and the many thousands of other gay men who were convicted, as he was convicted, under homophobic laws, were treated terribly."

I think the point that the government is making here is not "...but it was the law at that time!" but rather "we will let our mistakes of the past stand, and rather than hide from them we will learn from them". There is perhaps the danger that by 'fixing' the past you can then forget about it.

Whilst my gut reaction would be that this is the wrong decision, this - "However, the law at the time required a prosecution and, as such, long-standing policy has been to accept that such convictions took place and, rather than trying to alter the historical context and to put right what cannot be put right, ensure instead that we never again return to those times." - is actually a rational and convincing response.

I find a nice way of look at it is to think of it as looking at the back of a two-dimensional 'slice' of what is in front of the mirror.

Even if the lightbulbs are breakable I think you would need a maximum of (2√n)-1 drops - i.e. go up in increments of √n then when it breaks work forward from the previous drop.
