Of course; because a species more-closely related to hedgehogs than it is to us is clearly our "twin"...
Look, they might be smart, they might be sentient, but appealing to some psychobabblely "dolphins are the yang to our yin!" nonsense (seriously, "eq"? That's not even well-defined for humans, and you want to apply it to another species?) is no way to approach this argument. If "closeness" to us if what you're after, it'd be more logical to first expand outward toward our actual closest relatives, gorillas and chimpanzees.
Think of it this way: each current IP address could have its own private entire IPv4 address space... and then each of THOSE private addresses could have its own private entire IPv4 address space... and then each of THOSE addresses could have its own private entire IPv4 address space.
It's not like this is the first free-to-play MMO, as I'm sure at least one of the linked articles will mention. D&D Online and Lord of the Rings Online have been making much more money since they became "free". DDO's Revenue is up 500%.
1000x in 5 years IS wishful thinking, but it isn't THAT drastically off from Moore's law, which predicts a 1000x increase every 10 to 15 years. And it's never happened overnight, but in steps every few months. Many of the "1000x-predicted" technologies that/. covered 10 years ago probably have been part of the 1000x-actual increase of the last 10 years.
Seriously. It's not valid to use a space in a URL, why would it be valid to use a soft-hyphen?
If I type "goo gle.com" in the address bar in (Firefox 3.6.10), it takes me to "google.com"; this should be handled the same way.
The question is, if you brew a beer in microgravity, where there isn't really a sense of what's "up" and what's "down", how do you know if you've brewed an ale or a lager?
Where in NJ are you that they let you get away with that? I've seen people shouted down for getting out of the car to buy a drink, just because the attendants *thought* the person was going to pump their own gas.
From TFA: "spread [...] typically via USB sticks."
Air gap will hopefully stop secrets from getting out (unless... is this thing smart enough to wait for another USB stick, copy its stolen data on to it, and wait to be plugged in to a networked PC to communicate out? That'd be snazzy!) but it won't stop a USB stick. And, since USB is how code and software updates are usually delivered to these devices (not to mention the mouse and keyboard for the PC hook up), you can't just turn USB off either. Hence this.
That reaction is not as trivial to the body as you make it out to be; nor is that 10% imbalance. Eating lots of sugar is bad, yes; but eating lots high-fructose sugar is worse, *measurably* worse, in several biologically-significant ways. Additionally, preliminary research suggest that some of the trace byproducts of the "fructinization" process (methylated something or others) could also have quite a disproportionately-negative effect compared to their small concentration.
Except the study was about action games, and the improvement was in speed, not accuracy.
Not that you're necessarily wrong, just that your claim is completely unrelated to this story except for the fact that it involves computers and games.
This isn't meant to help poor third-world countries, or to deal with natural outbreaks. The concerns you express were never part of the project's goals.
(Not saying that's a good thing; just saying that that's what it is.)
An angle on the story that might be of interest to/.ers:
The plane, and the lodge it was flying to, are owned by GCI.
GCI is a large (the largest?) local cable/wireless/internet provider in Alaska.
Most likely, Ted "Series of Tubes" Stevens was prepping/being prepped for a new telecom lobbying gig; his two-year senate-lobbying exclusion window would have closed at the end of the year.
I don't want to disparage the man, not today; but I thought/. would like to know.
Yeah; if you want to see impressive lungs, look at a bird.
The impressive thing about a whale's lungs, is the percentage of air exchanged in one breath. The impressive thing about a bird's lungs is the percentage of oxygen they can take from the air.
Slashdot Mirror
Clinton's support wasn't enthusiastic, and DoE came out against it, but when congress cut its funding, Clinton asked them to reconsider.

But hey, it'll be getting better for the next six years, so I've got time.
It'll last a while.
Network effect beats viable competitors. Why play some other MMO, when all your friends are playing WoW?
Second on Tyson. He's great with kids (actually, he's great for any age). Just don't tell your son that he's over 50.
There isn't a battle between CGI and Long Cuts. There's just crappy art (which mis-uses its tools) and good art.

You are wrong. Very wrong. "AFAIK" is an insufficient fig leaf for your level of wrongness, which seems nearly malicious in its degree.

Maybe it'll be included as an afterthought at the end of the Portal 2 disc?

Correct. Data.
So I see you're a theoretical physicist... ;)
How about, instead of "exists", "measured or usefully discussed"?
...Is this from the same group of scientist that claim parasites are responsible for EVERYTHING?
Of course, he neglected to point out that mathematics is applied philosophy, and that philosophy is applied sociology...
Not French, but my guess? Pissed they can't use their three-strikes laws to keep you from using this to p2p stuff.
