Damnit.. that was supposed to say 3 x 10 -6 joules

Yeah, I don't think you understand just how small this shipment is.. This "dry run" is 100 protons.. Assume they decide to actually ship 100x that number of anti-matter protons..

The energy release from 10,000 anti-protons colliding with 10,000 protons would be about 3 × 106 Joules. A single "ladyfinger" firecracker produces about 150 joules of energy. i.e.... 50,000,000 times more energy. The energy you would get could not even raise the temperature of a single raindrop by 1 degree C.

Where are you seeing this? Generally speaking, an FCC approval is the end of the line. i.e. if the FCC signs off on it, the companies usually do not need to petition the individual states.

Probably not. I've been using *nix systems since the the late 90's. And I was pretty clear that FOR SOME THINGS a couple of clicks can be pretty damn easy.

FOR SOME THINGS. Any time some twat starts talking about how "real Linux users" like to do things, I know they aren't a real Linux user. Because real Linux users come in all different skill levels and have different preferences. It's NOT a homogeneous group. And it's that exact goddamn mindset that so many newbies encounter.. which drives them away. "Real Linux Users"(TM) are their own worst enemy when it comes to encouraging platform adoption.

Microsoft pulls in about 10% of it's revenue directly from Windows sales. While a minority of revenue, it's still a significant amount of money ($23.2 billion)

Nobody is suggesting it's a one-sided argument. But the fact is, you pseudo-commie, is that if the business fails, none of those fucking workers is gonna be getting a paycheck anymore, are they?

And as someone who spent the first 30 years of my life as a "worker", you bet your ass there are greedy workers out there. "Workers" is a pretty diverse group of people... You don't think greed is a trait of some percentage of them???

No we don't. We know how to use it, but for some things a couple of clicks are easier. Quit being an elitist asshat.

That's your bar? People who cheat on college papers/projects/whatever aren't worth saving? That's your standard for "a waste of life"?

Wow..... you arrogant cunt. Of all the thousands of people your daughter might treat, not a single one of them is as worthy of life as your little one?

Fuck you up a tree

You're an idiot.

Isn't it weird? Of course we were WARNED about this exact scenario by Eisenhower...

And not making them is GUARANTEED to destroy the economy. You one of those clowns who thinks the debt can rise forever?

A QUARTER CENTURY of increasing debt. Do you have any idea what the unfunded liabilities are at now? (It's north of $150 trillion).

So we sit and do nothing?

You fucking hypocrite..... You absolute fucking hypocrite. That's the exact damn thing the Biden administration was forcing down everyone's throats, except it wasn't thought diversity it was "skin color diversity" or "what you got between your legs" diversity.

Second, nobody is interfering with speech. Universities are free to teach whatever the fuck they want, on their own dime. Additionally, the lefties (I'm assuming you're one) have a fucking lock on education in this country. I don't have the poll on hand, but 87% of college admins / teachers identify as Democrats or "left leaning". Your group is the fucking retards who reintroduced segregation into the education system (black only graduations for example).

I no longer care what you assholes think about anything. Deal with him for the next 4 years , fuck face.

So cutting expenses from a budget that runs a deficit of $1.5 to $3 trillion per year (depending on the year), is censorship?

What, exactly, would you clowns be okay with cutting? We MUST remove the deficit spending. That's not optional. Or are you one of the clowns who thinks the inflation is being driven by "greedy companies" and not the $36 trillion of debt on the books at the $100+ trillion in unfunded liabilites?

Clue as all in... What can we cut that won't make you folks spaz out?

Rust ensures memory safety primarily through its unique ownership and borrowing system, which is enforced by the borrow checker during compilation. This system ensures that each value has a single owner at any given time, preventing issues like dangling pointers and use-after-free errors.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Ownership:
Every value in Rust has a single owner. When the owner goes out of scope, the value is dropped (freed). This prevents double-freeing and other memory-related errors.
2. Borrowing:
You can create temporary, non-owning references to a value that is owned by another variable. However, the compiler enforces rules to prevent these references from outliving the owned value or being used while the owned value is being modified.
3. Borrow Checker:
This is a compiler feature that analyzes the code for potential violations of the ownership and borrowing rules. If it detects violations (like a reference trying to access a value after the owner has dropped it), it will refuse to compile the code.
4. No Garbage Collection:
Rust does not have a garbage collector. Instead, memory is managed by the compiler based on the ownership and borrowing rules, resulting in efficient memory usage and the elimination of memory leaks. 5. Safe and Unsafe Rust:
Rust also has an "unsafe" feature that allows developers to work with memory directly when necessary, but this requires careful handling and is not recommended for general usage. The "safe" part of Rust is designed to be memory-safe, and the compiler enforces strict rules to prevent errors. In essence, Rust's memory safety comes from its careful design, which prevents many common memory-related bugs by enforcing strict rules at compile time.
