    Does the metal of the car body have no effect on the transmission of the signal? It seems like there would be a Faraday cage effect going on...

    Speaking of which, time to build a Faraday cage around my car's microprocessor components.

    The technology is moving forward if you can give (or charge) every single student a gadget like this and use it in every class.

    No, no, this will never happen. The scientists noted that one of the side effects of the treatment was green skin. I think we know where that leads.

    They're obviously trying to avoid establishing a brilliance event horizon, and subsequently, losing brilliance through hawking radiation.

    Unless it's shocking you in the brain, it's not bypassing the senses. You're still looking at a screen.

  19. Re:Feh. on Nvidia's DX11 GF100 Graphics Processor Detailed · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think this is largely because consoles set the pace for hardware upgrades. If you want to develop a multi-platform game, then it's going to need to run on XBox 360 hardware from four years ago. I don't even check recommended requirements anymore: I know that if it has a 360 or PS3 port (or the other way around), I can run it.

  20. Re:You can't steal *published* data on Recession Pushes More Workers To Steal Data · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Downloading music off the interwebs doesn't deprive someone the ability to sell something. If I steal a car, the person from whom I stole that car can no longer sell the car. He no longer has it, so selling it would be tricky. On the other hand, if I design a machine that makes instant copies of cars, then use it to copy a car from a dealership, the dealership can still sell the car I copied, because they still possess it. Now, you might say, "But they can't sell it to you! You already have that car!" Which is correct: copyright infringement theoretically lowers demand. But then, what if I wasn't going to buy that car anyway, and so my demand was already zero? In fact, maybe driving that car has made me desire a car from the same manufacturer! Maybe I like it so much, I'll pay for the next car I obtain from them. And perhaps if I designed this wondrous machine, it would not be so morally outrageous if I used it to copy cars that the dealership no longer had any prospect of selling in large numbers.

    Of course, I'm not just speculating. Research shows that people who download music illegally also spend more on music purchases.

    That's what I did. Physics still interests me, but it's really not worth it for a biomedical engineer to get a minor or second major in physics.

    No it's not. ActiveX was the source of countless security bugs. COM Automation is new and sexy and contains a TLA.

    I hear will-power and the notion of a life plagued by health problems followed by an early death completed clinical trials sixty years ago. What's more, there are no side effects, and when taken properly, there is a 100% chance of success.
