There's a difference between priority of different protocol routing and giving Google more bandwith than Yahoo! Search, or MySpace more than Facebook up till the point that you can't realy access Facebook anymore at the speed of 28k, forcing you to use MySpace.
I can tell you are realy... realy stupid or just plain ignorant.
Of course you give VoIP a bigger priority than newsgroups _IF_ you don't advertise your newsgroups to run at the speed of light, in order to not drop calls, but it's not about VoIP; it's QoS that is needed for net neutrality. What net neutrality is about is not limiting some particular website in favor of another website or one protocol in favor of another.
Net neutrality is that you don't get blocked from something. And if your ISP has realy shitty capacity than you must upgrade that capacity so that every user has his fair acces share to the internet and everything routed by it. Period.
On the iPhone the first homescreen is for search. On Android every homescreen is the same. On Windows Phone 7 the left homescreen is pretty badass, but the second one (used for apps) sucks.
Apple came with the iPhone 4; better battery life, faster, HD recording and banned Flash. Android came with a simple update that simply doubled the battery life, made the phone 3 times faster, included HD recording and included Flash (the phone's now 3 times faster and Flash draws back 2/3rd of performance, still making the phone 1/3rd faster) - you can shoot my math with this one
Now Windows 7 comes with a fancy new thing. Google will probably just include another homescreen like Apple for the information centered stuff, bring some basic typography goodness like on the new Windows Phone, include some hubs and it has beaten Microsoft's advantage with a simple update that took 3 months to release.
Now you might say that Google's problem in fragmentation of Android (thousand different versions), but Microsoft is in for some serious problems too given they will have to support a lot of different CPU's, so apps need to be C#'ed anyway, leaving devs with serious problems as well.
Now how's Apple and Microsoft going to respond to Google's awesomeness. Well they can't because they are too slow. Google simply kicks ass.
Faster execution means: 1. Less polution of the earth ("Hah, carbondioxide is bullshit!" - yeah say that to Venus, lol) 2. Giving America ("Fsck yeah! Here to save the motherfscking day, yeah!") the upperhand in decoding terrorist communication so people's lifes can be saved.
This all is ofcourse not realy entirely true, but at least you can lie with a straight face and not feel completely guilty about it:)
How is a quad-processor DOS computer on steroids any better than a powersaving 16-core ARM mobile CPU+GPU which you can carry around in the palm of your hand?
Android uses outdated kernels in every release. Those issues are like "Hey grab a bugfix list from the latest kernel and write a study in which you supposedly hunted down these bugs yourself".
It's like an unpatched Vista Service Pack Zero and then reporting about bugs that have already been fixed...
You're evil if you think that damaging humanity is for the good of humanity.
Doing folding@home is good for humanity, but also evil for individuals, because you think that damaging their control over their computer and increasing their energy bill is eventualy good for them.:)
Yes... kill somebody who makes you digg through your email more and who puts the mind of the total stupid to the test.
This is worse than an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. You might disagree with me if an eye for an eye is good or bad, but in both cases you'd have to agree with me that going beyond that is realy bad.
This isn't a case of spelling/grammer NAZI-ism, because this is a discussion about what the right word is for something that is now used worlwide on a large scale, instead of correcting a person's Enlish skilz0rsz...
Now I am not in favor of grammar Nazis, but 'virii' is something I highly dislike.
Q.) Then, how is the creation of NEW ELEMENTS explained & fit into that set of laws/conditions, 1-4 above, and are they created from already existing materials, not merely from "nothing"?
There is no creation of new elements, only change in form.
The reason there isn't a massive Big Bang erupting within the LHC is because there is no such amount of energy poured into the collision.
Basicaly the LHC is not out to create new elements on the periodic table (where did you get that from?), but find particles that make up elements in a certain configuration.
Now Lisi's theory of everything predicts a 'periodic table' of particles. The LHC is currently set out to find the one they call the Higgs Boson aka the 'God Particle'.
This God particle doesn't create matter. Instead the Higgs Boson traps energy, which is a 'state' we call matter.
The LHC 'experiment' is sometimes described as setting out to 'create' the Higg Boson particle, but that's not realy correct. If the Higgs Boson were to exists; it would be hidden. So all CERN is trying to prove with the LHC is that when you slam these atoms; they fall appart into particles, from which one should be a Higgs Boson. It appears, but is not created; it's just 'unhiding' itself for a very brief period of time.
Well I'm not sure where exactly you want to take this conversation to, but energy remains when interactions occure that we currently know of. However my point was that when messing with the underlying system, if possible, we might bump into being able to mess with that. Possibly by altering or _damanging_ parts of out universe.
You wanted to read up about this new paper about what creates gravity? It's only 29 pages long and realy not that hard. I encourage you to read it, but simply put: the three dimensional fabric of space is devided into, let's call it; voxels that can store a limited amount of information. So when you take the sun for example, that's a lot of mass, thus enegry, thus information. But it doesn't fit in these information voxels. So basicaly; if you don't chop it up into pieces that do fit (like blowing up the sun) it needs more information storage. Luckily the fabric of space is bendable. So the more matter, the more space fabric it needs, thus it is pulliung the fabric of space.
Now imagine you have a blanket on your table. You take a pen and devide it up in equaly large squires. Now put a tennisball at an outer end of the table, this is our earth. Then put a larger ball on the other end of the table, this is our sun. Now twist and pull this blanket; our sun needs more squires. The effects is that the sun (more matter) now puls the earth towards is; "ta-da!"; gravity!
Oh I don't mean to be like "Get of my lawn!", but what I mean is things like puzzles. Modern singleplayer games suck, I agree, althought there are exceptions but not many. But take a look at Portal for example; great game. It depends on how well you can think. Now take a look at the interactive Uncharted 2; great addictive game, sure, but it's basicaly a click-through (or button press next next next) movie.
Oh and I have nothing against a great story movie driver game. Take for example Metal Gear Solid; one of the (in my mind) best games ever. However that requires thinking and puzzling. You can often do things in more than just one way.
What I am saying is: chess is a tool (while made to entertain) to keep yourself busy with. Uncharted is like a book, also made to entertain, but your only action is to reed, not to make the play for yourself.
I'm maybe getting realy vague here, but I think you'll catch my drift;)
I'm not talking about elements. These elements encounter more than just 'states'. I'm talking about force and the bookkeeping of information.
(BTW particle collision can result in matter, which is energy, so you need to put energy into the process, because matter is energy glued together, like with the Big Bang; radiation)
Take for example gravity; if you calculate it's effect with current formula's like E=mc squared and Newtons laws among others, you'd find gravity to be a resulting force, instead of a force. This however requires the theory of information.
So when you transform energy by means of information (where information equals energy _in this case_) and end up with forces that are actually resulting forces and therefore energy not encounted for (because they are in the forces themselves), you could end up with energyless information.
How and if that could actually be put into practise is something I sadly can not answer.

It's obviously a bad idea because it makes you extremely stressed out, which in turn reduces your life expectancy.
Other than that GPGPU's are great for certain things, like supercomputers are good for certain things.
Why did you came here to post that anyway?

It is also compatible with the standard physical and AA battery powered wireless Apple keyboard.
Gay is French for happy, you idiot. And today, on the 'streets' it means lame.
"I can't come to the party"
-"Why not"
"Sexy time with my girlfriend"
-"Gay"
"How's that possibly gay?
-"Bro's b4 hoes, man.."
Aside from the obvious "What handheld?"-question; powersaving, shaders and RISC?

I've got one of the first EeePC's; a 660mHz Celeron @ AC and when on battery it's 500mHz. With Ubuntu|Gnome is chokes.
With a custom install of E17 beta 2 on CrunchBang Linux (based on Ubuntu 9.04) it flies.
Funny as it is, Fedora is the _only_ distribution that has a _working_ KDE4 version. Guess what I am running?
If you're having girl problems I feel bad for you son,

Exactly! Browsers need to be sandboxed and the images from the rendering engine read out as a non-executing texture.
Yeah you'd whish...
