While the guy is a little nuts (ok, maybe more than a little) he does actually have a point. Gun control in the age of 3d printing is going to be virtually impossible. In the next decade we'll move from plastics to metals and from niche to mainstream for 3d printing, any 15 yr old with an internet connection and a (no doubt cheap) home printer will then only need to buy bullets to arm themselves to the teeth.
Politics are always behind the curve, it would be nice for a change to see any of them try to tackle inevitable changes to our civilization before they become an issue. FYI I'm Australian and lucky enough to be in a country that has proven gun laws work.
Standard affair. If I wasn't a member of the pirate party I would sign up for Wikileaks. Best of luck to all of them, anything is better than the two major parties who are only interested in bickering amongst themselves and each other.
I think posters are completely ignoring the potential this would have on understand humanity more. Once we have a million detailed lives we could run it through software AI to come up with unique connections and insights we would never have picked up on before?
Sad to see his stance on genetic engineering is so negative. How does he expect us to recover so many extinct species and continue to advance if we don't master our biological side?
Those goats aren't being thrown out in the wild to breed, they're being used to create stronger materials that will likely be used to protect us from the dangers of climate change. Sure we have risks of contamination, but to be put off advancement because of what-ifs would mean we'd still be in caves fearing the wrath of fire.
For dark energy I'm a recently converted believer in Howard Bloom's torus shaped universe, dark energy is replaced by gravity and the shape of the universe. His book "The God Problem" is highly recommended!
Yes I've commented similarly in the past few months, the book was that good I want others to read it too!
How about they work on creating something worth paying/subscribing to? Simple to suggest, hard to deliver. Perhaps that's the reason? I've been getting into Giant Bomb more lately and if I had a job I would consider trying out their premium service.
True, I have 16GB of ram but since 99% of games are 32bit it's limited to 2GB. Even then, what 64bit games utilize 8GB of ram? Being able to design a game knowing you have 8GB of ram to use will result in some huge advantages.
Why can't we get a news app that generates tiles for new articles in selected categories? Imagine waking up and the home screen stares at you with a couple new tiles on articles you'd likely want to read. Do the same with email filters to highlight important emails.
Android and iOS already cover the static screens well, why not apply some further design iterations and produce a more living/personal screen that reduces a few of your daily activities to a single tap away!
If the theory of our universe being in the shape of a torus is correct we are near the end of this universe!
So far all the theoretical data holds up, explaining the rapid expansion during the beginning of our universe using gravity and not "dark energy". As well as the reason we aren't swimming in equal parts anti-matter, the big bang ejected matter and anti-matter from it's two opposing poles (hmm this sounds familiar). Using the observed period of early rapid expansion the resulting estimated time we meet up with our anti-matter twin is only 1.8 billion years! The portion of this theory I find comforting is that when we collide with anti-matter on the outside of the torus shape the resulting collision ends up being the birth of a new universe.
I like to picture it as the universe using a wave pattern that's mirrored by it's anti-matter twin, the vital wave pattern that we see repeated in different mediums that were born billions of years apart (light and water). It's an exciting theory and much more comforting than the big freeze. For those of your out there that got a little wet or hard reading this check out Howard Bloom and his book "The God Problem", the book presents a fascinating take on our history that I wasn't aware of and paints a beautiful picture of reality using patterns.
Apple give a nicely detailed breakdown of how many apps were sold and where and under which tax code, as well as how much tax was paid to each. It's enough information to comply with my quarterly GST statements in Australia and my accountant confirmed to me everything was fine when I was curious.
This really flows well with the book I'm reading at the moment, The God Problem by Howard Bloom. This is an example of translation causing transformation, the movement of the gas molecules is a recruitment strategy that is dominate enough to cross between different, err things? The same pattern in the gas create a social/group activity when translated to humans. One of the examples given in the book outlines how bacterial colonies in Petri dishes spread out in fractal patterns just like those found in rocks.
It's a fairly stretched out book, I originally started reading it for his theory of the shape of our universe, a bagel. In theory it replaces dark energy with gravity to explain the accelerated burst and subsequent slow down experienced by the early universe as well as the missing anti-matter. 250 pages in and it's covered the history of science while explaining how we miss what's right under our nose, such as the Egyptians making perfect right angles using the golden ratio and never discovering the concept of angles. Highly recommend it!
Yeah as an Aussie I would say I'd much rather Obama than any of our politicians at the moment. They seem to have one of the easiest political jobs in the world and yet still fail to remotely suggest any grand future plans for our country, just more of the same sh*t I've been hearing for years.
The number 1 issue I have with MS and Xbox is that even after paying around $60 a year for their service I still get bombarded with advertisements covering upwards of HALF my f*cking screen!!! Where the hell is the money going if it's not going towards paying to have a clean, ad-free service?
Err not sure how you jumped to that conclusion? If *anyone* is "hiding" wouldn't that be the one who isn't in the country? I personally believe you waive all rights to being a "coward" when you face up against your overlords, to stand up in the first place takes more courage than the vast majority of people on this planet will ever have.
He wouldn't be worried about how they treat these new "hackers" and cyber terrorists either, surely it wouldn't be a rough prison sentence compared to killers and rapists right? Not like he was placed in solitary confinement for up to 23 hours a day when far more heinous crimes reward you with 3 star accommodation! Coward indeed.
Slashdot Mirror
It's Extreme Tech and they admit to making up the price in the article. That site is extremely opinionated and I wouldn't trust it with my bookmarks!
It clearly means the poster isn't paying any rent to his mum for the basement.
I'd prefer the label wasn't there, Darwinism at work.
I watched an interview with Cody recently.

Tell that to the Prime Minister of Australia, she might be a red head but she makes up for it by being and out and proud Atheist.

Only in the way we currently manage cattle! Check this out, very very interesting! http://www.ted.com/talks/allan_savory_how_to_green_the_world_s_deserts_and_reverse_climate_change.html
no, no, no. It's EA, it's all about micro-transactions, only 99c per help request sent and received!
Their GUI seems pretty damn powerful to me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkDD03yeLnU

Yes just like how we got an xbox emulator shortly after it's release?

I take it you haven't seen the January sales figures of the WiiU, win seems to be the exact opposite of Nintendo's strategy.

Perhaps engineers who wish to get a job would work for them? Those that understand AMD isn't firing people for the lulz?
