Antimatter continues to behave just like regular matter, no matter what tests scientists throw at it. And in the face of yet another new challenge, antimatter has again refused to crack. Probably best not to try to catch it though

If they keep disturbing the antimatter, they might make it madder.

Antimatter continues to behave just like regular matter .. so whats the point in dropping it ?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Antimatter has mostly been manipulated via electromagnetic forces, and indeed behaves like matter in this respect. We have yet to collect enough antimatter in one place to test how it reacts to gravity.
If, for example, it has a positive inertial mass so that it accelerates "normally" but a negative gravitational mass, that is it falls "upwards", we would have to rewrite quite a lot of physics. Don't you think this would be interesting?
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

To see whether it doesn't when dropping it.

To gain a better understanding of how many code snippets hosted on GitHub's gist system are actually executable, researchers at North Carolina State University conducted a thorough evaluation of the executability of publicly available Python scripts hosted on the platform. Executable, or justification for execution?

Russian arms maker Kalashnikov on Thursday presented its new electric car inspired by a rare 1970s model, saying the new technology will rival Elon Musk's Tesla. Well, they've certainly brought the S3XY with that model!

From the article: rare 1970s model There's a reason it was rare, yuck.

A coffee-delivering drone that can detect when people are tired and bring them a drink has been patented by technology company IBM. That's what I hear buzzing over Chris' office?
|
|
|
|
|
Now that's a good idea! Will it make the coffee? Or just a delivery service?
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

IBM? Does Wally work for IBM?
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

This could be useful when they close down and spin IBM into International Coffee Machines ICM

Why change the name? What could possibly be more important to a business than ensuring that its employees have a steady supply of coffee?

If the Commons clause were to be adopted by all open source projects, they would cease to be open source, and therefore the Commons clause is trying to destroy open source. Open-ish source?

When this first appeared I spoke out about it in discussion threads around the net, but didn’t think anyone would take it seriously. Don't even worry, we don't take the idiotic statement even a tiny bit seriously.
You will never unite all code in a single license type. It is not a real threat, just a way to get attention and selling ads.

Intel is attempting to block benchmarks and performance tests from being shared on Linux platforms through a change to the terms of use found in a microcode update. Trust us?
|
|

|

UPDATE 12:15pm ET, August 23 2018 - An Intel spokesperson responded: "We are updating the license now to address this and will have a new version available soon. As an active member of the open-source community, we continue to welcome all feedback."

Yeah, that didn't take long. I really don't know how Intel thought it was going to get away with that.

Microsoft announced that they're developing an improved Windows Update mechanism that would create a small update package for easier and faster deployment. Just more of them?
|
|
|
|
|
However will they manage that, when the current monthly cumulative updates are a mere 800Mb in size?
(To be fair, that's small compared to the July update for Server 2016, which weighed in at 1.3Gb!)

Did Microsoft skip 85 versions? I thought windows 10 was the cats meow.
