    5x is order of magnitude larger. Quote: Generally, the order of magnitude of a number is the smallest power of 10 used to represent that number.[2] To work out the order of magnitu…

    You are joking about "small numbers of deaths", right?, because this millennia is not over yet.

    IMHO, you should replace RF with Turkey. RF was unable to grab Ukraine or Georgia, which were completely unprepared to war.

    Yep, but you have bug in your awk one-liner.

    Perl is much faster[0], with much more features, with bunch of ready to use libraries, with package manager (CPAN), and similar syntax to awk. Why you use awk? [0]: http://rc3.org/…

    Skip learning of sed and awk and jump straight to perl instead. $ perl --help ... -F/pattern/ split() pattern for -a switch (//'s are optional) -l[octal] enable line ending process…

    They only way to get rid of mines is to make them useless. Robots can make them useless, because they can spot and disarm or label mines automatically, or just step on them.

    Mines are simple robots. They kill for decades after a war. Killer tank robot is much less dangerous.

    It was that way from very beginning. It's Artificial _Intelligence_ , not an Artificial Human.

    Previously, Firefox was fine on computer with 2GB of memory and hundreds of tabs. Now, 8GB is not enough.

    Firefox eats memory. 4GB of memory is barely enough to run browser and show few tabs.

    Yep. Pilot Wave theory is underdeveloped theory, but it helps to develop intuition. Walking droplets are even better for that. IMHO, it's better to use QM to solve QM problems in s…

    We have no perfect theory to explain everything, so it's just tradeoff, exchange of one set of inconsistencies for another set of inconsistencies, but with better intuition. I'm do…

    No, it's like saying that nature is built on kind of vertex buffer, because OpenGL accurately predicts reality.

    Field is mathematical abstraction, used in mathematical model, to represent a physical thing. Physical things are real. Mathematical abstractions are not. OpenGL is not real too, b…

    I feel also air field (wind), height field (land), light field (photons), and so on.

    So, EM field describes strength of EM force in every point of mathematical model. Nature of EM force is unknown. Right? Let's talk about nature of EM force. Analogy: look at a typi…
