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?

According to the author of the paper, Dan Hooper — harvesting energy from distant stars isn't just the best way to increase a civilization's available resources. It's also the only way to prevent the ever-expanding universe from leaving that civilization totally alone in the vastness of space. So... legalizing marijuana will have no side effects?

Just because the science is being performed in the American Midwest, that doesn't mean it's of lesser quality or importance. Albert Einstein was an ing patent clerk while he did some of his most important work. Do we discard it simply because he wasn't working in the august halls of Oxford, Cambridge, etc.?

To totally missed me, it seems...
What I was saying, that just because this 'scientist' has the back of two - as much as I know well respected - institutes, every idiotic paper of him is published as 'science' - not only on the 1st of April...

Government can give you nothing but what it takes from somebody else. A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you've got, including your freedom.-Ezra Taft Benson
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

Apple and Samsung have finally put an end to their long-running patent battle whose central question was whether Samsung copied the iPhone. They both agreed they copied Windows CE?
Or they both realized they needed to both fight Google?

While it has become fashionable for operational databases to become multi-model, MongoDB has stuck to its knitting with the document model. But in the 4.0 release, it addresses some checkboxes on widely different sides of the database spectrum. But still a pawn in game of life

Cyber-criminals are abusing multilingual character sets to trick people into visiting phishing websites. I thought that codproject.com link looked a little odd
I would have used an actual multilingual link there, but I don't think the submission tool accepts Unicode

How new are these news! Is it more than 10 years ago that phishers tried some-bank.com with a Cyrillic a instead of a Latin a? Wow. BBC detected that now, after so many years.
Well, "bbc" could by cyrillic characters too...
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

The 2018 release offers native Eclipse IDE capabilities for the Rust and C# languages, as well as new Java support 73 million lines of code can't be wrong
I do wonder just how many C# developers they will get though.

Kent, InfoWorld has once again demonstrated their technical prowess and über-friendly web programming. The article for your link has a pop-over ad with a very convenient Close Ad button in the upper-right corner. Unfortunately, the button doesn't work. This gives you about 1.5 seconds to read the entire article.

Hmm that sounds odd.
Lemme see, how I say it... works on my machine
Current version of Chrome on a win7 machine - no popup or ad blockers. In fact, no browser extensions at all.
But regardless of whether the button works or not, you can right-click the offending element and select Inspect . Once done, you can remove the node from the document - voila! The ad is gone. I rarely click the "close ad" button, just as I never click the "unsubscribe" link in unsolicited email.

Update: I left the InfoWorld tab open in Chrome while I posted my gripe above. When I went back to the tab, the 'Close Ad' button worked. It looks like the close Ad depended upon some slow-loading bit of script, which just seems rude and ill-behaved. This is a historical pattern to the InfoWorld web site. There are so many ads, popups, flyovers, etc. that the site itself is almost useless.
