So they're saying sequential access is better than dynamic access? What's the advantage in that? Oh wait, I need to access data at location $ff00, let me spin the bits around the track a few thousand times til I get to that memory location. Duh?
I can see it now. Somewhere in China or Nigeria a hacker is trying to gain access to a U.S. government network and suddenly their own systems are attacked from hundreds of locations around the world bringing their network to it's knees! Revenge is sweet!
The whole purpose of tracking user activity is to avoid bombarding the user with irrelevant advertising. If the advertising is targeted to what the user is looking for then it's entirely useful and worthwhile for the advertiser. I would much rather see ads for things I'm likely to need or want than endless viagra ads.
I lived on a military base for 4 years and was amazed that while I had to wait in line to enter the base showing proper ID (either look at my ID card or see the sticker on my car window), pizza and delivery trucks would drive on and off with no trouble. Any fool could drive a car onto the base full of explosives with a pizza sign on it and nobody would stop them. And the security itself was a joke too. During the day I used to drive on with my long hair, beard, and earring, and they would salute me as I drove past because my car had an officer sticker on it, no ID check. Only at night did they check ID's. And if you really wanted to get on base at night all you had to do was walk to one of the closed gates and climb over, or walk into the woods and find a tree that had fallen onto the fence or bloody walk down to the back bay where the fence ends at the water and walk around it. Hopefully security has improved since 9/11.
Anyone knows that as you travel away from the sun at warp speed you go back in time so of course there is a discrepency in where the spacecraft should physically be.
I think what the scientists are observing is the scaffolding used by the construction workers. The entire universe is getting a make over for the release of Universe 2.0
I know you all hate Microsoft but what they need to do is admit they were wrong and stop selling Microsoft products in Europe, for a year or so, and not license it for export and sue any corporations that try to install illegal copies of it. As much as everyone here worships Linux I think most of Europe would be screaming within weeks if they could only by laptops and desktops with Linux on them. It's really nice to blaim the cook when you don't like the food but when there's no more food to eat you learn to be a little less picky.:)
There is a really cool cheap alternative for distributing high quality media that can't be throttled by ISP's, that is 100% compatable with all players, and isn't usually filled with DRM. It's called the Compact Disc. There's also a version that stores video as well.
When I read the title I thought 200 MPG on air? How do you measure miles per gallon on a vehicle that doesn't use fuel? Like how would you measure PSI in a tire that is solid rubber? How do you even measure a gallon of air? But then I saw that it's really a hybrid. Perhaps you could kill two birds with one stone (hopefully figuratively) by running a car on compressed natural gas so that some of the power comes from the gas escaping into the engine. Of course another name for it would be "bomb".
Once the array is built, to help pay for the service, satelites will be placed in orbit around the moon to broadcast commercials every 15 minutes for rogaine, viagra, cialis and dietary supplements. For an extra $5 a month you can also get unlimited text messaging.
It's sad that 40 year old men living in their parents' basements have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to listen in on phone calls of men and women who have normal interesting lives. But I guess that's easier than getting dates.;)
Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.
Yeah, the V1 was an uncontrollable flying bomb, with very little explosive power, that seldom hit anything important, not like a guided 767 with hundreds of gallons of jet fuel. Firebombs dropped from thousands of feet are nothing compared to truck bombs parked at the front door. You could destroy a tank back then provided you had a tank or artillery of your own, not simply by waiting by the side of the road and pressing a remote control garage door opener. And as for remote controlled weapons, a human at the controls who's willing and eager to die for his beliefs is a 100 times more accurate than a machine guided by primitive electronics. Yup, you just proved my point again. Terrorists are far more dangerous than Nazis. But of course sarcasm has nothing to do with it. Facts are facts.
You're right. The Germans didn't have jets they could crash into buildings. They didn't have nuclear weapons or materials they could use against our citizens. They didn't have shaped charges that could penetrate even the strongest tank armor. They didn't have millions of fanatical followers who would strap bombs on their children to blow us up. The terrorists are much more dangerous than Nazi Germany was.
That's what the leaders of Europe said about Germany, and the leaders of Asia said about Japan, hell, it's what the Romans said about the Visigoths. If we just leave them alone and ignore them they'll leave us alone. We were leaving them alone when they attacked us on 9-11. We'd been ignoring them for decades as they bombed embassies, hijacked planes, killed innocent citizens around the world. Ignoring a danger does not make it go away. It makes you an easy target.

We are the Borg. You will service us.
Yeah, we should cover the deserts with solar reflectors, to hell with the endangered desert turtles. We need more power!

Wow, I remember back in the day when we only had one search engine and it was human powered with real links to real content. It was called Yahoo!

If you tried to phone freak Chuck Norris he'd roundhouse kick you through the receiver.
Tell her you'd give her the Universe, but all you could afford was a nanodiamond, so small you'd need a telescope to see it.

Well I'm all for it, as long as they store it on hard ware that I can take home with me.

I just tattoo bar codes on them and installed a bar code reader

It is drawn to human faces and if you move away it hunts you down and destroys you. Welcome the T1!

Just plant moss or ferns on your car. Drive to work on gas, burn the plants on the way home, buy more at Home Depot. My car is greener than yours! ;)
