First things first: Nobody knows if a black hole means the end. There are observations where black holes spew stars. Diving into the very crappy science right now (be warned); String theory: we are trapped into a couple of dimensions, but also gravity. By means of gravity we can escape our universe and go to another one. The universe is flat. Quantum physics imply that our universe should at least be linked to another one, or there are more than two universes in pairs that are double sided. Maybe a black hole is the very gravity that 'warps' us to another universe?
Secondly: let's live long enough before we can even get sucked into a black hole/sun burns out/etc...
Third thing: humans are already looking for estraterestrial intelligence but haven't found it yet.
Fourth thing: create a livable place on Mars first before moving to something very far away.
Fifth thing: first develop something that can travel us to a place far away at a speed larger than that of a rocket.
Humans reading/. are also part of the universe. While we can't do anything with it at a large scale (yet?) doesn't take away that we are the universe trying to understand itself.
Secondly you can detect them because they cause dust particles to be sucked in and by doing so these particle emit X-rays. X-rays can be detected and visualised in any colour the human eye can see =)
You can clearly see why Chrome OS fails horribly; it is made by a web service company.
The idea was that "What if operating systems where made with the internet IN MIND?" and not "Let's make operating systems totally rely on webpages".
Hello Google, the internet is not the web...
Here's how I would envision the internet OS: Everything is a file with meta data and locations... We call this the W3C Semantic Web: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_Web
The OS should be installed locally, of course. Displaying the OS should go through an interface. Have one for screens, but also sound? And maybe holographic displayes or something else entirely...
Then do the same for input devices.
Make the computer have big ass local storage so you can host your own photo's and documents. Decentralisation, goddamnit!
Then have the ability to add friend to you contact lists so you can search thorugh their stuff, collaborate and communicate.
Have the OS handle files, video's and music itself and also have standard frameworks for downloadable games that you can run and store offline but are automatically updated that you can play against your friends.
On other words get rid of the entire desktop idea, starting with Gnome-Shell but then on KDE4 tech...
How hard is that? Everything is a file/container. No more apps that the user has to care about. Just: "Computer display spreadsheet renovation" and "Computer play Wolfenstein against John Doe" or type it though an interface... but get rid of the desktop idea and dependance on centralised services and webbrowsers.
But noooooooooo.... If only I was filthy rich and had too much time on my hands... *sigh*
"Get ready for Apple fanbois coming in and commenting on this on why it's "innovative" and why suddenly "Apple shouldn't support HTML5"." Here's a Apple created, MIT licensed, web app framework written in Javascript: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SproutCore .
This is already in use by Apple's MobileME and this tech is already usable on any javascript supporting browser. Calm down a bit...
Good to know. Will try to never use anything mpeg related again and will never buy NEC products ever in my entire life and recommend friend and familiy to avoid NEC products because they will break of whatever brand reputation damage I can cause... Funny, aint it? Blacklash and all...
Opera is dedicated to compliance to the fscking standards, secondly new innovative features and at third place is speed. Chrome is about minimalism and mostly speed. In-sane-speed.
Chrome is way faster from an end user perspective. Opera is kinda slow in that regard...
It's hazardously addicting. Once you're used to the speed of Chrome you cannot go back. I have a social networking page with embedded YouTube vids, 1024*768 res background, multiple levels of transparancy, images, java, a complete IM and whatever it does. It completely destroys IE performance in a way that it is unusable. Firefox can load it but it is extremely slow. Opera is better, but you'll still notice massive lag all the time. With Chrome it feels like it is an app running locally. This network site is not known outside of my country so no Facebook, MySpace or all that other crap...
Ah I see. So it is not 'diabetes type 3', but actually a combination of a hyperactive neurons with decreased insulin production in the brain? Or is the reduced insulin production the very result of the fact that there are less alive neurons to feed?
Also could you please give me some souurces to back his up? I want to know more! Brains interest me:)
Side-by-side vulnerability comparisions are bullshit to begin with.
Anyone with a brain larger than a peanut will have noticed that software is created by humans and that there has always been security vulnerabilities in any OS, including remote exploits in OpenBSD, which is basically as secure as an OS can get from a human creation policy perspective.
The point is what security measures are there to prevent such bugs from becoming a remote security hole? Windows means anti-malware, but this is after the effect basically. The Mac fanboys (which do not include all Mac users) will tell you that file permissions are the holy grail of why there are no virusses. This is ofcourse wrong because there is also exploitable software running as root. SELinux gets even further and has security profiles on what a piece of software can actually do, so if your root running browser (for example) is 'hacked' then the hacker/cracker can still only use the bare certain system functionality that, in this case, the browser needs to operate without crashing. OpenBSD has the same permission policy as Mac OS X but splits its programs up in pieces to get the sort of effect that SELinux has, but less effective, while more effective than Mac OS X's policy.
When a computer is capable of doing something and it is in the range of a hacker/cracker to touch it (say... the internet) then it can always be hacked/cracked, no matter what you do. Although Windows has an amazing track record of failure due to obviously very bad programming (in certain places at least).
"You will NEVER be happy with anything Microsoft does." I know. I figured it wasn't realy my thing, so I jumped onto a different OS bandwagon and absolutelt love it!
Silverlight, Internet Explorer ("We do our best to improve the complience! Realy you must believe us!" - yeah right, like you did before, eh?) The DirectX(-ish?) rival to WebGL.
And some more, but your point is not wanting to know why, is it? You want me to start a flamewar and you want me to say things that you can bring down. I have experience with overintelectual dumb-asses. I can garantee you that you can't win with the exeption of making fun of my poor grammer and spelling as I am not a native english speaker...
Given the fact that we know what alzheimer itself is, the cause of this can never actually be overused neurons. Exercising the brain will only make connections stronger and harder to die off.
I any case, this aint rocket science, unless you are an idiot. What is the actualy cause that sets it in motion is not at all scientifically proven so we should, by default, stay away from claims...
At least Apple is working together with companies behind large websiote that have a high page rank to make use of open standards of the web. HTML, CSS, Javascript, whatever.
Microsoft is killing the open web.
Now if I wanted to run Linux I could. I don't have to give a flying fsck about Apples lockin and Apple wouldn't be undermining _my_ acces to the web.
Microsoft is trying to lock me out with Silverlight.
Who cares? If Steve is after an open web (not open Macs!), then I solute him. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
"It is *precisely* that attitude that limits OSS adoption." Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
What limits FLOSS adoption is what limits any kind of software: fit for a particular purpose. The more functionality and compatibiluty, the better,
Not that the Gimp isn't any different from Photoshop in the sense that Photoshop is multi-windowed in Mac OS X too (Adobe "We must use a single window on Windows because the Windows WM is absolutely retarted) and there is a very easy to udnerstand quickstart guide and Gimp had 3D before Adobe... but whatever... GIMP SUCKS!

There only has to be one website that you'll cross that won't be blocked from hazzardous content from your abp blacklist and you're infected.
OP: "But many ads on the internet pose legitimate security risks."
Please read next time?
That explosion would be kinda deadly... You know... flying chairs and all...
Either run the latest IE on Vista/7 which is sandboxed, or switch to Linux/BSD/Haiku/ReactOS.
Adblock isn't the solution. Maybe some slick virtualisation of a minimal Linux distro like CrunchBang! Linux would help?
