Sorry but a multi-megaflop machine is NOT a super computer, not even in the most basic stretch of the word. Yes it's impressive how much compute these guys can get out of so little power, but lets not kid our selves here. These machines are in no way super computers as commonly defined.
I think you need to reexamine the history here. Based on historical writings, as well as years of SCOTUS rulings it was very much the intent of the founding fathers that gun ownership, above all else is to prevent the tyranny of the government over the populous.
The reason the last two budgets are higher, generally across the board (not just NOAA) is directly related to stimulus money flowing toward these organizations.
This is actually an interesting thought, though I wouldn't go so far as to attach punitive damages to invalided patent, I see nothing wrong with charging a minimal interest rate on the monies paid as royalty fees on the patent.
Haha yes I was just thinking that, FTA "The team determined that potatoes were ideal stand-ins for passengers, given their similar physical interactions"
I've seen lots of sacks of potatoes in my travels over the last year. Some even snore.
To me, having used it exclusively for the last 6+ years, it's never been better. Very stable, everything works, and it's reasonably fast, even on my 1000PE Eee.
With the right configuration, it can also be very pretty. If you really want to find out, grab the latest the Kubuntu 12.10 live cd and play around with it your self.
I disagree, the reasons the ISP's can continue to charge outrageous rates is because they have a government sanctioned monopoly on last mile delivery. Even if I wanted to setup a cable ISP I couldn't as I have no access. I could setup a telco based one using DSL, but I would be limited to the transit charges the owner (Centurylink in my case) wants to charge my customers.

Nearly every modern cell phone has active noise reduction in it's A2D/D2A DSP. In addition to that more modern phones have second layer reduction within software. Constant noise, such as 50Hz hum is something that you would explicitly target to remove, as it costs more money (bandwidth) to send that noise down the line, and reduces call clarity.
The only way I see this really working is if it's an untouched recording (vinyl, land line with no active filtering, ultra-clean DSP into digital, etc).
Interestingly I see nearly the same behavior described here on my HTPC setup (as well as a few others). Shifting from an older 9600GT to a GTX 560 Ti I regularly experience video stutter and slowness when moving from a fast draw screen (low number of pixels flipping) to a slow draw screen (high number of pixels flipping).
This is only for an instance and I've really only experienced this on the newer (twice as fast) drivers recently released..
From what I can tell the issue comes into play when switching power states and clock frequency. If I pin it at a high or low clock rate and power state I don't experience this issue what so ever.
Interesting, my 386/w math-co-processor could only address 32MB of memory, and the 4 MB I had set me back almost 2 grand. This also had a smoking fast VLB 16bit video card.
This sounds very similar to the idea behind ion engines. It's interesting and I wonder if this discovery was something new, or something finally explained.
Walking about SC12 this, like many years there are literally hundreds of FPGA vendors that build some what custom hardware that would mine bit coins extremely efficiently. I can understand some hobbyist chip designer looking to do something interesting for the heck of it, but really, there's already a huge cache of available products on the market that have been through the ringer and are well tested to perform this exact type of work load.
Yes this is true, however countries such as Iran, China, etc. shut off entire parts of the internet 'without justification'.
Do you really want to have an internet controlled by entities which care more about power than freedom? I understand you could argue the same about the U.S. however history has proven those arguments to be false.

Yes of course they can drive these cards, will they do it at the same performance as a modern dual or quad core CPU, no.
Hi Yes,
But this is comparing a fast bicyclist to a fast space craft in the sense of speed difference here.
We're talking machines that are pushing into the tens and hundreds of petaflops (next generation).
I'm fine with calling them low-power high performance clusters, but calling them super computers is something completely different altogether.

Are spacely sprokets as good as they claim or is it really just hype?
I was thinking this as well, with the largest earthen structure possibly the start of a impound pond for cooling

Here's a great read on the subject:

Who's actually talking about real cuts? not the Republicans or Democrats, maybe a few TEA party people who are labeled crazies right away.
These are cuts in the rate of spending increases! Not budget cuts as we all know them.
This is such bullshit.

Whoops, meant 1005PE Eee!

Hi, Since you work there, do you have any idea how much data we're actually talking about here?

That said, it's interesting..

Yes, Best Korea did already discover this. If you don't believe me, just ask them.
