Actually, that's the whole point of this technology: there is no expensive context switch between threads. The processor goes along, issuing instructions from several threads, and when it gets a cache miss for one of the threads, it just keeps chuging along, issuing instructions from the other threads.
Skiming the article, it doesn't even seem this processor bothers with out-of-order execution or register renaming; if it stalls, it just starts issuing from a different thread.
Maybe he's implying that the women in LA are really good at manipulating other people's emotional health? You know, high attack bonus, low armor class...
No "tidal wave" has anything to do with tides. Seems kind of pointless to complain about this instance when the whole thing is a misnomer, just like a "nova" isn't a new star. But you're not going to get people to start calling it something different now.
You mentioned them in the post...

Mod Parent Up! (Actually, it's already at four... so nevermind.)
The Law(tm) isn't like source code; slashdotters seem to have trouble understanding that. It is open to interpretation, and it can ask questions about intent (what you MEANT instead of what you DID). And it's pretty clear that suprnova's INTENT is to contribute to copyright infringement.
...and the article says it's about 1-foot across. So either the picture isn't showing the for-sale 1/4-million-dollar model, or the 1-foot measure applies to some small part of the thing in the picture.
I think the picture is not of what they're selling, but I could be wrong.

Both of your examples bring up an interesting point. What's wrong with a group of private citizens influencing their government? Nothing. What's wrong with a single, wealthy, private citizen influencing their government? Nothing. The problem is when corporations legal entitities that can own property, go to court, and control vast ammounts of money but can't vote influence the citizen's government.
...with at the most a day of downtime every six months.
Less than 99.5% uptime is not "extremely" reliable. It's also quite possible that it wasn't your ISP that changed, but something on your end. The first 2 weeks Halo was out, my roommates and I were having a terrible time getting decent connections. Turned out it was someone's malware infested laptop (it had gotten infected over wireless when he took it to campus; it had been fine siting behind our local firewall). The game went from unplayable to awesome instantly.
Three MONTHS? Yeah, that won't work for the professionals. They need to have that review ready within days of release, if not well before. If you take three months, you'll haver zero revenue, so the review gets rushed and focuses on first impressions instead of deeper game elements.
Black & White was an excellent study for this effect. Myself, I was absolutely engrossed with the game; it was exciting, inovative, refreshing, funny... for about three weeks; then it was repetitive and uninteresting. And the reviews reflect that. It had high 8s and 9s in the reviews that came out before or just after its release, but the few that came out later were significantly lower.
The concern is that the punishments do not fit the crime. No one thinks that shoplifting is a good and moral thing to do, but would a law demanding 3 years in federal prison for petty theft be fair?
Secondly is the issue that an ailing industry is trying to legislate itself back to super-profitablilty with special government favoritism. As the joke goes, the horse-and-buggy industry tried the same thing when the model-T came out, but cooler heads prevailed.
Thankfully, the provision that would have made it the Justice Department's job to hunt down and prosecute file traders was dropped; the **AA will have to continue to pay for its own lawyers, just like everyone else.

I don't know. How many? Someone here should be able to give an answer...
By ignoring all sources except the screenplay Adam's had written. (I swear I read that somewhere, but can't find a source at the moment.)
Yes. But I had to compromise on the formating just to fit those two within the character limit.
Please read this most-recent interview with Robbie before posting any (more) questions that have already been answered.
How about doing another interview after we've seen the movie?
"Radio" is a subset of "light". (Who mods this stuff up?)
Actually, most of space is about 3 degrees kelvin.
Go ahead and try it (if you're at one of the institutions on I2) by running a traceroute.

Even less less original since you could play with the rules.txt file in CivII.
Actually, more precisely, pi is irrational.

It's been better described by others, but here's a humorous review from a self-depricating geek.

Proofing? How long have you been here. ;)
Wow! All of the discussion from YRO ever, distilled to 3 paragraphs! Bravo!
It does autoexpire. And the supreme court has said that almost 100 years isn't too long, and that retroactively extending it is fine too.
But, in theory, it does still "autoexpire".
