In Russia you have the freedom to say whatever you want, and the secret police have the freedom to disappear you the next night. It seems Russia has more freedoms than we do here in America.
Murder is in fact, a fairly uncommon event in Russia, but there is a lot of suicides. Walking in the night time alleyways is suicide, calling Putin a bastard is suicide, you can commit suicide very easily if you aren't careful.
After all, if more memory were that simple, surely evolution would have changed that gene by itself. If it were a tradeoff, that would be much more logical.
So what did these rats lose ? Do they have gaps in long term memory ?
I'd watch out for the "no free lunch" idea holding true here too.
Evolution decided that when creature has to eating nothing but rotting crap all it's life, it's best that the creature not be able to ponder on the matter.
Dont buy important technology from foreign countries, do it yourself. Especially if you ever under any way, shape or form could cross paths with said foreign country.
I think this should be a really big wakeup call to european countries that relies 100% on american tech, both on hardware and software.
The interesting thing is that the Black guy will probably end up getting paid less then the original white guy since the image was probably taken from a stock photo library rather then a studio shot like the original actor.
Nah, if a certain political power had wanted this guy gone then he would have had an 'unfortunate accident' two days ago and had his Twitter account terminated. Creating a big scene that ends up all over the news is lacking in style and effect. So I'm gonna Razor this idea and conclude that it's some ass hat hacker spamming twitter from his basement.
If I was to guess, non-linear probably refers to GI calculations. Global Illumination does take some time pre-calculate and a lot of things in those calculations are relative to the timeline so getting those pre-calculations done on a network so that the rest of the nodes can get access to it in a non-linear method does make a lot of sense. this goes fro particle and point caching too. Also, if there's one thing that I've learned is that as hardware gets better, the demand gets higher. I can render stuff that I made five years ago that took days at the time in a minute but the scene is terribly dated and now I have scenes that look great but still take days to render, so I feel rather confident that in ten years, scenes will still take forever to render but they'll have hyper-atomic precision or some other crap to them.
difference is that Russian spacecrafts hardy explode for no reason any more. The Shuttle however has a good chance of doing that, so it's sort of a "everyone claps after a shaky plane landing" deal.
Think about your current computer (don't care if it's a desktop or a laptop).
Now think about getting the same processing power, memory and storage capacity... 20 or even 10 years ago.
ya ha, I did video editing on it, but I also had this huge card and lots of hard drives and two monitors and stuff that let me do video editing. Can't fit that on an I-phone no matter how hard you try and with time the demand will just keep growing with the hardware power. Who knows, the next HD will come along and everything will be 1080q with mega 3d pixel interfaces... blah blah blah.
"an iPhone with a beefier processor, some USB ports and a mini HDMI port (a la Macbook) and you have your next desktop replacement device."
There are some problems with this that can't be solved with attachments. Firstly you'd need the software to do this, granted someone can probably write a piece of software for an I-phone but frankly unless there's a demand, no one will bother to do this, and you end up with some half assed quick time editing thing made from someone's basement. that aside, there's also the issue with storing data, can you get sixteen gigs on an I-phone? that's a short video, and I bet the drive is slow as hell, so you'd need to carry an external hard drive raid and a power supply and so forth. Ok, forget even that, let's say you're editing five minute compressed videos for your blog or something, you still need screen space to edit. Can't see anything full screen, because the resolution is tiny, and you can't fit a full time line on screen, not to mention the tools or the transition windows. So, sorry, but the form factor just makes the thing useless for anyone that's interested in anything more then just a toy.

at one point the AI will realize that it's far easier to beat the human by hacking in to military computers and nuking the player.
I think establishing a Casino on the moon is more practical.

Also, why is this under "Your Rights Online?" Nobody has a right to illegally download copyrighted materials.
Well, by definition no one has the right to download illegal material. But what "illegal" means varies from country to country.
In 1980 nobody would have dreamed we'd be invading Afghanistan; we were supplying the Taliban with arms to fight the Soviets with.
That's because the Soviets beat them to it. In 1978 I bet there were all sorts of American plans to invade Afghanistan.

Why? Is America planning to invade France?
I still wonder were alive in this world after all the shit humans have pulled off... Wonder whats next.
the general idea was that 'if the Russian civilization falls, then no one else deserves to live'.
Bull, as far as I am concerned: 1) Plot 2) Price 3) Graphics . . . 374) Social
I guess this means you are anti-social
the biggest use for this, for me, is trade shows. If you have to wear anything to make it work, then it's completely useless.

Just check mini nova. That should show you better then anything what people are watching.
They should teach that thing KungFu and have Jackie Chan fight it. I just want to see how fast it can rip out a human heart.
seriously, just throw a grenade in. That way you know there's no more trouble in the room.

Shame that linux won't run all your software, so that puts it out of the equation all together.
Build a massive render farm out thousands of 286's!
except they'll run out of memory and crash on every scene.

I'm just curious when or if rules are going to be put up about Internet sovereignty, so that an attack on a website is seen as an act of war.
Then /. would be a declared enemies of humanity as any link that is posted on it would completely freeze the targeted site (aka, Slashdotted).
Speaking of the Gate Keeper, that reminds me of an insightful quote:

Isn't this how the Time Machine movie started?
