There is no way to prevent theft. All you can do is discourage it. Keep copies of all important things/documents in a bank safety deposit box. Data storage is a bit of an issue. I hide my backup server in the basement rafters. Again not 100%, but hopefully they just take my computer and other electronics. Really, the best thing to do is not to become emotionally attached to stuff. Good luck.
Exactly!
Pi is the sum of an infinite series, and the series converges. Thus it is expected that number of digits in Pi ends. This is a quest for the last digit. No other reason, just the last digit.
Some thread hit on rendering use. However, there is also vast amounts of simulation use. For example, COMSOL Multiphysics (http://www.comsol.com/products/multiphysics/). Also, in the academic world is it easier to buy new computers on grants than upgrade old ones. The "old" computers typically get moved to computer controlled tools (when the tool computer dies).
This wavelength of light is used to make 1-2um features in the microelectronics/micromachining industry. This could be a an interesting development for hobby electronics, micro-art... or cyborg sharks.
Why not let it keep going, and monitor the traffic. Wouldn't this simplify the gathering of Intelligents? Instead you force the people you want to monitor to other site(s). And now you have to find them. It just like cleaning up bad neighbourhoods in cities. Drugs & prostitution are always going to exist. By cracking down in an area, it simply displaces the problem.... potentially closer to your own neighbourhood.
This tech is outdated. Most chip mfg use solder balls en lieu of wire bonding. Wire bonding take too much time. The copper used inside/on the die is electroplated. This tech is not directly useful to most IC manufacturers. Perhaps it may be useful to a niche market.

People know what font I'm using. Holy carp! Stop the presses, this is the greatest injustice in the history of the multiverse! Yep, I am defined by my browser font.
that Sony doesn't like profit. Why else would they remove th second OS. They obviously don't want people using PS3 for non-game use. Therefore they'll stop people from buying them, thereby reducing their profit. Apple of course does the same thing, but ra ra ra Apple.
CH4 (natural gas) is currently near a historical low. Plus exploration companies are still finding large reserves. Add in that all this deficit spending is going to stagnate the private sector (a la Japan). And voila! Clean, cheap fuel for large vehicles and small to med power generation. Plus it shouldn't too much of a stretch to convert existing coal plants to nat gas.
Why are people reaching for the distant origin theory? I hate to break it to these people, but all the molecules necessary for life (C, H, O, N) is/was already available on Earth. In the presence of heat (energy) random molecules form. Add in a few million years, and presto life. It's simple thermodynamics. Or am I missing something?
Why on Earth would someone write a stock trading program that used words en lieu of numbers. I could see if he typed in 1000000 shares, and it autofilled to a billion. That would make sense. I seriously doubt the mistake of B vs M. IMHO, the most likely reason is some institution wanted to liquidate their index shares (for the conspiracy theorists out there: because he know unemployment was going to 9.9% instead of staying at 9.7% or dropping to 9.6% ~:-). This caused a big dip. Then stop limit orders started tripping. This would cause a crash, until the humans had time to figure out what was happening and started acting accordingly. This scenario is much more plausible. Now excuse m, as I have to go out and buy a tin foil hat.
as long as it stays out of the Atlantic. Then it's ONLY going to kill everything living in the Gulf. If this thing gets big enough and ends up in the Atlantic, Europe & the Arctic will be in for a nasty surprise.
It's a rule, not a law. Moore's rule is based on certain assumptions, and we have push to the point where some of the assumptions are no longer valid. The limiting factor at the time of Moore was the feature size. Halving the size and scaling other parameters accordingly would result in a doubling of the switching time. However, we hit a limit with the gate oxide. The gate oxide need to be halved. Eventually you get low on the number of atoms in the gate layer. For example, when you're down to 3 atoms, you cannot divide by 2. The solution to this problem was Hf dioxide. This was also the cause/solution to the increasing static power draw. The next problem will be in the band gaps. When you shrink the width of the transistor/switch there are less and less atoms (naturally). However, you eventually get to a point where the band gap is no longer well defined. Each atoms has its own relative band gap (in a bulk crystal). The summation of atoms give a clear band gap, but there is a minimum number of atoms that create this scenario. I don't remember exactly, but 100 atoms seems to be in the back of my mind (100 could be wrong). IMHO, it is time to take parallel processing seriously.

Unless of course everyone starts driving around in 1960 cars.

They should have dumped the house and kept the comic. The odds are that the comic will appreciate more than the house over the next few years.

Great idea! Should do wonders for crops.
