So why is the 32 bit version twice the size
Because it is a computer. The recording and reproduction code is a different matter. It is not the content. It is like the surface of the tape in a tape recorder.

Speaking of hacking, does this look like a graph to anyone else?
The US permits very "free speech". It is in the Constitution. It is my opinion that if you think the law is incorrect then fix the laws, don't break them. Just like speed limits. I do not speed, I drive the legal limit. I also have a perfect driving record. That reduces my insurance cost by 40%.
I worked at the Lawrence Rad Lab when I was 14. I was working on fusion power with my father. Plenty of LN2 any time I wanted some.
As for buying LN2 that is easy. Get a all stainless steel thermos and find out who supplies doctors with LN2 for freezing off warts. The supplier will usually just give you a small fill for free.
I built a magnetic levitator of my own design in high school. We had an electronics shop instead of an auto shop. I also developed a memory system using neon and crossing wires as well as a decimal to binary convertor that I made using diodes encapsulated in a cast block of plastic. I dropped in at Mountain View and a guy gave me a box of about 3000 transistors (floor sweepings) back when a CK722 cost about 70 dollars in today's money.
The levitator was really cool because I used some LN2 to cool the electromagnet.
Physical strength is not necessary. How much energy do you think it takes to crush a windpipe? They will instantly not be singing any song at all. It is about confidence, concentration as well as human psychology. You can cut me with a knife but you will die first as I stop the bleeding and walk to the hospital for a few stitches.
In altercations with firearms only one in ten actually make a hit with the first shot. See ya later alligator.
I guess they haven't needed to fight real bears or cougars. Not much different than fighting the human ones.
Fighting a Bear with your fist
Mother fought off cougar to save toddler
Sometimes in practice I would wear a white belt. It is a very good distraction for the opponent. I have always been a teacher.
It is NOT the flag of the Germans. It is the flag invented by a Dictator who made it clear that if you didn't follow his precise orders he would kill you no matter where you live or who you are. My uncles fought in the underground. My father worked behind the lines as an intelligence officer. He taught me some Russian. My mother still tells me about the incredible privation they suffered in Denmark during the war. My grandmother would save just a little sugar so she could throw it into the fireplace to see it sparkle each Christmas. I have been to Germany twice. Nobody likes to fly the German national flag because they are so ashamed of what happened.
That is why they are arresting people that lift their hand the wrong way.
So now we have a Kleptocratic dictator in the dark house. Then we might have an EMP war and it will be dark forever.
There is only one race here, the human race. This is a lot like the change that happens to most of the astronauts. When they fly in orbit they realise that there are no visible borders, just this tiny blue planet. All this constant war we engage in is meaningless. About the only possible benefit is to reduce overpopulation. There are much better ways to do that. Education is a good start. Getting rid of at least some of the the corruption we are constantly plagued with is another area that really needs fast action.
Pay attention to the graph. It is very misleading since it uses 70 as the bottom line, not zero.
I attended a lecture by Fuller one time. He was a very interesting man.
No two humans are the same, not even "identical" twins. Every person looks different, thinks different, lives to a different age and behaves differently.
The old concept of Nature versus Nuture is finally settled. It is NATURE. The genes determine who we are. Nuture is of course important, no question there. Genes are far more important.
Genetically men and women are different. There is no way to change that, even with gene editing. The human brain has hundreds of genes that must be involved with intelligence. So far we have been able to determine that maybe 50 or so are involved. That is not well confirmed. There are clearly some important differences between men and women.
One in particular is the ability to perceive colours. It now seems that at least some women may have a very unusual ability to see colours that men cannot see. It is gender specific. The stereotype of women always being more sensitive to colours than men is not a stereotype. It is science.

This also applies to everything that has to do with the brain. I am currently doing brain mapping at the local university. I have access to hundreds of medical records and am able to see it with my own eyes. I have working on this project for nearly a year and my work is close to being done in this area. The professor I work with has been showing it at conventions in Europe. The post grads are using my posters for conventions here. I have created 3D videos complete with sonification to assist those with poor vision.
I studied computer science and psychology at UC Berkeley. I have done medical engineering including mammography. I have worked with many women for many years. There are very clear differences between men and women and especially how they think. This not a bad thing as I very much prefer how women approach most difficult problems. While it is different for every person in medicine it is always about averages.
There are areas where women are better. There are areas where men are better.
It seems that bad driving is genetic. If so then it is very likely to be exhibited differently in various ethnic groups.
I am very conservative. I totally believe in conservation.
noun: conservation

preservation, repair, and prevention of deterioration of archaeological, historical, and cultural sites and artifacts.
prevention of excessive or wasteful use of a resource.
the principle by which the total value of a physical quantity (such as energy, mass, or linear or angular momentum) remains constant in a system.

As I have said I speak Danish. I am of viking decent.
Looking at the history of the vikings is interesting. Women were largely treated as equals. They could work at any level they chose including high levels in government. While the Vikings did take some women as slaves they usually became a wife. That was to insure genetic diversity.
If they wanted to pick up a sword and do battle that was also just fine.
Some women rose to a particularly high status. One of the grandest burials ever found in Scandinavia from that period belonged to the Oseberg “queen,” a woman who was buried in a sumptuously decorated ship along with many valuable grave goods in A.D. 834. Later in the ninth century, Aud the Deep-Minded, the daughter of a Norwegian chieftain in the Hebrides (islands off northern Scotland) married a Viking king based in DublinThe Byzantine-era historian Johannes Skylitzes did record women fighting with the Varangian Vikings in a battle against the Bulgarians in A.D. 971. In addition, the 12th-century Danish historian Saxo Grammaticus wrote that communities of “shieldmaidens” dressed like men and devoted themselves to learning swordplay and other warlike skills, and that some 300 of these shieldmaidens held the field in the Battle of Brávellir in the mid-eighth century.
Heh. I also happen to be in The Thirteenth Warrior...

That question has a simple answer. What know in science is what we know NOW.
An example: Ever since neurons were discovered such as the von Economo (spindle neurons) which are the ones we think with mainly in the fore brain it has been maintained that we CANNOT grow new neurons. It now totally established that is nonsense. Simple small amounts of aerobic exercise several times a week can increase the neural density in the Hippocampus by up to 30% in just a few months.
Think about this. Lack of aerobic exercise = declining brain function. The brain has the most neurons at around the age of three months. Then consider the obesity epidemic in many countries. Also the term Fat Cats take on a new meaning.
The human body and especially the brain are not yet well understood. Every day something new is discovered. I subscribe to Lancet Neurology and the stories can be incredible.
Good question.
But despite his minimal remaining brain tissue, the man wasn't mentally disabled - he had a low IQ of 75, but was working as a civil servant. He was also married with two children, and was relatively healthy.Not only did his case study cause scientists to question what it takes to survive, it also challenges our understanding of consciousness.
Civil Servant with no brain. That explains a lot...
Undoubtedly why Mr. Musket is so worried. He has been shooting with his mouth a lot lately.
So called AI Chat Bots are nothing better than the MIT Eliza. Just a few lines of code is all that is needed along with database access. Compare words with high probability of matching and that is it. The average American uses a vocabulary of only a few thousand words and use less than half of them 99% of the time. In many (most?) a lot of those words are right brain words such as Fuck, Shit, Asshole and so on. Those have nothing to do with critical thinking. They are strictly emotive responses to when shit happens not on the toilet (well, sometimes...)
Very good question. One of my favourite things to do is to play with the English language. I speak quite a few languages but English is the easiest to play with.
I was thinking about a fridge with a built in freezer. Why don't we call it a Freeger?
So I looked up "freeger" and this is what I found.

How do you patch a Windows system so that it's safe to click on a .doc file, and how do you open it without clicking on it.
Don't use Windows code to open it. I haven't used Word for many years. Instead I use a German system by the name of SoftMaker. It is one of the few pieces that I am willing to pay full price for. Better is that it is often on sale for much less than Windows anything. It is clean, very efficient and fully compatible with everything.
No, I do not work for them in any way. They are great to deal with though. Not many places I can say that.
I worked for a big company for a while. When I left they immediately reminded me that I may not do this, this, this, this, this, this, that or this... for a year.
Really? I asked them to send me a copy of the signed NDA.
No answer..... I never signed it and they never noticed. We had a very short discussion. Dumb shit management. That was the reason I left.
