Time to make some watercooling blocks and special fans and make money from those with too much.
Wow! That would be Overclocked!
Years ago I could buy a cheap overclocked machine and play any overclocked game I could find. Nowadays, it's not so easy. You need an overclocked watercooling block and overclocked fans.
I only hope MS overclock their efforts and manage to get an overclocking product in time. I'd be very underclocked otherwise.
If nobody passes the test, then it seems to me that the problem is with the test, not the people. What are they going to do? Close the university? The test isn't the goal, selecting students for admission is the goal.
This is just another story that should not even have been posted here.
1 - There are people in the other courses even if no one gets in this year. 2 - The objective is not to select the least incompetent but to select people who posses the knowledge required to adequately receive the teachings given in the first year.
If you have to have an admissions exam for a university, access to any university, or to secondary level education, something is wrong with the education system. Doubly so if it gives rise to the faulty concept of educational streaming(the concept of shaping people's entire lives through test scores and controls on education access).
What's the alternative? Let anyone study anything?
In countries where universities are heavily subsidized, it's too expensive to pay several more years (and the most expensive ones, due to labs, equipment and higher paid teachers) for people who have a proven an inability or unwillingness to study.
And the alternative, let anyone in and raise the price to control the excess of population, is much less fair than exams.
Eventually it will be possible to receive the entire university education online and almost free. At that point I will advocate for free access. Until that happens, if you want my taxes to pay for 9/10 of a kid's university, I'm going to ask for proof he is capable and willing to study.
If we currently do not have a way to travel to the stars, then what does it matter how we find our way among them?
Knowing the position of artificial objects in space with great precision might be useful if you enter the realm of the unknown.
e.g.: Imagine we launch a number of solar satellites and the information they return about their position doesn't match with the position we're seeing them at. Maybe it's a problem with our equations.
Maybe some defects of space curvature are only observable over long distances but cancel each other perfectly so as to disallow us from detecting them by their impact on the light coming from distant objects.
Maybe those defects allow the discovery of the "picosecond space ripple" phenomenon, which we learn to harness to build ftl ships.
The point is that new instruments give new data, and new data is one of the roots of technological advance.
It would be hilarious if John Lennon II grew to become the head of the largest world banking corporation.

The only thing they can be sure to be cloning is the body. And even that will only develop in the same way if it's used in a similar way as the original.
So the only people that should be cloned are either athletes, models and porn actors/actresses.
For example to pass the English language exam it was necessary to write extremely simple but correct sentences. You lose marks for mistakes so trying to write naturally and fluently is a bad idea. Simple, factually correct statements that don't flow together are the best option.
That is false. The exam is good. Correct English has no mistakes. You know no good English.

From which of those do you suggest fat was removed in the 70 and "replaced with huge amounts of sugar"?
Fortunately for us, after a prolonged study, the Aliens have only managed to reduce the list of possible dominant species on Earth to: macaques, chimpanzees, vervet monkeys, mice, humans, domestic dogs, domestic cats, and domestic and feral rats from both rural and urban areas.
And marmosets. Which are considered, by the vast majority of the alien scientific community, as the most likely candidate.
Very simply food manufacturers removed the fat in the 70's and replaced it with huge amounts of sugar. The problem with sugar is the brain doesn't see it as nutrition thus it doesn't suppress your appetite when you eat sugar filled foods.
And, as we all know, marmosets are among the greatest consumers of manufactured foods.
You are much more free than before. Because you know more.
What you see is a forward movement.
Did you expect the power to just surrender to a future where they don't matter anymore?
As you know more and more. As you recover what is rightly yours. As you take over the control of your own country. They will fight back. And they will bite and tear down your houses searching for traitors. And they will destroy you, and put you in jails, and kill many of you.
But you will prevail.
Because freedom only moves one way.
You're scared because you're the first ones. There's only darkness ahead. But you shouldn't be, because behind that darkness is the future that will look back and cheer at you as the freedom fighters of this century.
The system isn't made to make rich the politicians, but their masters. The politicians are just the executive arm of the very rich and get paid for obeying.
I would like to meet someone (adult) that's surprised by these news.
I would like to know his answer to the question: "At which point in human history and in which location has a government not spied on its own citizens?".
I often wonder if people understand what "secret" means.
My bet is that what will make this project useless will be the stops. To get the votes and the money the project will have to bend to the power of every state that's crossed. Everyone will want to have a stop in their front yard (every 500 miles) and the stopping and restarting times will kill the time advantage over other transport options.
Sometimes it's funny how ATMs I see outside of my country (Spain) don't seem to have the security systems that they were forced to use here for problems like the one described in the article.
I also find foreign paper currency to be unsafe, ID documents too easy to forge and store security to be amazingly weak.
Sometimes I wish I lived in one of those countries where all that security isn't needed.
When we first built a YouTube app for Windows Phone, we did so with the understanding that Google claimed to grow its business based on open access to its platforms and content

It goes beyond not deserving an answer. It deserves a slap and a moment of silence so he can think on what he just said.

Thank you. That was the only reply I needed to understand this article.
This is like Karl Benz figuring out road signs.

A pocket watch would dissipate heat better and the chain could work as usb cable.
Besides, there's no need for real bodies, within 20 years mainstream porn will probably be entirely simulation,
I predict humanity will first inhabit a planet outside the solar system than have no need for real porn-star bodies.

Frankly, I think that companies like McDonald's have successfully hacked the human brain and created foods that people just can't say no to.
I don't think there's anything a human being can't say no to except air (and that only because the body turns the brain off to restart breathing).
People have died in hunger strikes. I don't think putting a McMenu in front of them would work.

Seems no difference than trespassing. Putting on a fake mustache, sunglasses, and a wig doesn't mean you can ignore the trespass order.
But the limit being non-existent or impossible to detect does.

It was too late a while ago.
The new generation (20) won't ever un-learn that things being free (by the classical, "pay up front" definition) doesn't stop them from existing.
The system isn't made to make rich the politicians, but their masters. The politicians are just the executive arm of the very rich and get paid for obeying.
The entire thing must be completely fake.
I refuse to acknowledge as possible the finalization of a secret government program under budget.
