The old UK sci-fi television series, Blakes 7, which aired in 1970's had this as one of their predicted technologies. Entire portions of machinery would regenerate after being exploded in sabotage. Grids of "radiation…

This was covered.
Worse than that, I used to be very knowledgeable about a topic and having not played the game and not scored any points, it was too frustrating to answer questions there. The unfortunate thing is that people often see…
I have home edition, it is set to reboot in the middle of the night. The laptop goes to sleep or hibernates when I go to bed, one or the other, the update is still pending when I start the laptop in the morning. Updates…
Have you tried to read a page on facebook without an account? It's intended to be an almost unusable experience. On loading a page, I get a modal popup obscuring all content insisting I "register" or "login", with a…
Make that 7km, at 7km/hr, 3 times a week and I believe you hit the sweet spot of the Danish study that came out a couple of years ago. If I recall correctly, it monitored ~20000 people over ~19 years, and provided bell…
I used the arc archiver mentioned by others, back in the 90's if not earlier. I've probably still got archives on a disk somewhere.
The article was about some woman who was unhappy and quit her job, and had some resources to fall back on. I am sure lots of points can be projected onto it, but the long and the short is she didn't do a very good job…
When I programmed in university pre-2000, I used gopher in place of google. Applicable matches were limited to source code file search, which gave examples of function calling out in the wild. There were no books of use…
Did you read the article? It mentioned unlimited guests to meals, with an open bar. As well as something like a gym washing service. It's clear in the article that there were more than meals, with these given as…
Back before decent search engines, there was gopher or ftp search. I used to search for function names or some part of some API in gopher (or ftp search), and find source code in projects where the code was already in…

I quit drinking coke zero on purpose for months at a time, and come back to it, just to appreciate it again. At no time have I ever thought it tastes sickly sweet. Of course, diet pepsi is another matter.
Lot's of dependencies are used that they do not own the rights to do this with. Not practical.
There are <a href="http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=80875">comments on</a> one of the Amiga communities most popular forums by a Olaf Barthel, a developer who modernised a more complete version of the 3.x source…
Similarly, back when I used to maintain Stackless Python and do merges in from mainline Python, my benchmark was to only have the same set of failing tests post-merge for the same merged revision. More often than not I…
All my different devices have shoddy software. From every smart phone I've bought to smart televisions and not so smart satellite decoders and bluray players. None of them have source code available to fix the problems,…
The copenhagen study is one that stays with me. Over a period of 35 years, and ~17000 people, there are some interesting charts showing guidelines to optimise jogging for longevity. If I recall correctly, the best…
From what I recall, the results in a study showed that the primary care giver of an alzheimer's patient was more likely to get alzheimer's themselves. The argument against transmissibility was that primary care givers…
