wasn't there a compressionless sound wave-based cooling developed a few years back? i remember ben or jerry from ben-and-jerry's championing the efforts.
all we're proving is that any problem can be solved with a sufficiently complex algorithm. wow, we can digitize things with more detail as we provide more processing power, surprise surprise.
i tried it on my phone, i went to a regular busy. I hung up on sly dial and the target mobile rang once.
i'm not impressed, and i'd be concerned about the nature of the connection they're making - there's no privacy statement about what numbers they keep on record, there's nothing to keep them from recording conversations.
they have excellent customer service when a missing piece is encountered, however. i've bought sets off of ebay with a few missing pieces, and lego hasn't hesitated to send me the correct pieces without issue, free of charge.
i even had a piece which i admitted to losing on my own accord, and they sent a replacement.
i'm sure that if one abuses the privilege, they'll stop sending pieces, but after two or three of these episodes, i've been thoroughly impressed.
i'm find it fascinating that the rules state that the cars are only allowed to run on global thermal energy - which includes wind, EXCEPT for any power stored in the batteries at the beginning of day one.
if i read this correctly, the team with the most efficient batteries (and/or greatest battery capacity) has a tremendous advantage.
an even more interesting race would start with all cars at a zero-charge, i think.
if they grabbed 13 million images from the net, there's a good chance that many of them are copyrighted. if they are using those copyrighted images in their (presumably FOR SALE) software, wouldn't that require some serious licensing fees, even if it's an internal-you-never-see-the-pictures usage, since it's a part of their algorithm, or what-have-you?
for the record, i say this as a concerned/curious artist who isn't looking for a payout.

i was under the impression that the real problem in the u.s. is that there are laws making it difficult/impossible for railroad companies to own semi-trucks, put into place to help a fledgling trucking industry at some point, and never rescinded.
i've been searching for something to back up this theory - i heard it several years ago, but cannot find anything concrete.

just accept that they were created as a result of their predecessors, then. evolution = creation, heads will asplode.

it seems like only yesterday, penetration was only at 2.7%. my, how time flies.
when they found it, it was flashing 12.
in space, no one can hear you ping.
full disclosure, i work for a provider.

doesn't every program get "loaded into RAM" at least partially at some point?
how long before someone figures how to fool the algorithm, and we all start reading books about enlarging our genetalia, but in a classy way?
i didn't want to rtfa. so i didn't click on the link.
but super scientific ovens do? i suppose the ice melted before they could cook it?

how many international missions with the end goal of landing on mars have there been?
this guy makes it sounds like more than just a handful, and I can only recall 3.
is there some vast international mars landing conspiracy that i'm unaware of?
From the incidental stories I hear, this happens quite frequently.
agreed. i wish that he had left out the last four paragraphs, monster may have considered pursuing this if he had.
may not have been as amusing to us, but eventually it would have been.
do you really want plumbers called in when your site is down?
when's the last time you went from asphalt to gravel to concrete on a public road?
as someone in telco, my first thought was of the SS7 protocol, which could fit the description in the article, read loosely.
ok, very loosely, but this screams 'out-of-band signalling', and out-of-band signalling isn't really novel now, is it?
i read the article to mean that by executing a given pattern for a standard number of steps.
that is to say that red red blue for 50 iterations will take you to one location, red blue red for 50 iterations will take you to another, and so on.
given the number of iterations and the pattern, there is a clear endpoint. efficient no, reliable, yes.
