Those practicalities would be benefitial only if this was TRUE 3d. Because it's merely artificial 3d (moving your head around doesn't help you see behind the box) you are still limited by a 2d field of view. Until we get to the point of 3d projection, I'm taking this technology with a grain of salt.
With how big wikipedia is, 4+ gigs IS the diff. And contrary to what someone else has stated, compression can still be factored into it with diff, but there would be a tradeoff. For instance, each wiki could be compressed, through which the diff would only have to update the wikis that were altered.
Targeted ads have a larger success rate when trying to draw people in. That said, websites have less of a need to clutter their site with non-targeted ads to make the same amount of money. Given the two options, I would much rather choose targeted...then again, I use ad-blocker.
And besides, with respect to publicly posted information (not e-mails), saying targeted ads is an invasion of privacy is like calling a friend a stalker for looking at your facebook pictures.
I'm sorry, I don't care if I get modded down for saying this but I feel it's needed. The real reason students struggle with math and science is because of how much damn emphasis is on "creativity" and "art". Self expression through doing something not even mildly challenging leads kids into paying tens of thousands of dollars for an education that will, at most, get them a job flipping burgers. You want higher math and science scores, Mr. Obama? Get rid of useless classes in school like Sketching and Art History.
Okay, I understand now that the smell itself is flagged by the animals as a warning sign. It was a genuine question I had, yet some begrudged slashdotter felt the need to mod me as a troll...
Am I missing something, or does the evolutionary process in developing this not line up? I was always under the impression that individual species were in constant competition with each other (with the exception of living in a society where symbiotic relationships occur). Accounting for natural selection, how can the "death stage" be improved generation by generation when the species that develops this ability is...well...dead?
Anyone notice the trendier the name is for the new operating system, the more it sucks? Windows ME (Millennium Edition) and Vista are the two most trendy names followed in a semi-distant third with XP. That said, I guarantee Windows 7 is going to be the best Windows yet.
Expensive graphics cards are commonly seen being purchased by engineers at my workplace for CAD development and simulation. Even with some of the recent "affordable" graphics cards, assemblies won't run as effective as many engineers would like.
The researchers plan to connect several chips to create a circuit with a billion neurons and 10^13 synapses (about a tenth of the complexity of the human brain).
So since we use only 10 percent of our brain, does this essentially mean having 5000 of these things wired up is the equivalent?
A lot of QA can be repetitive, so look for little ways you could write a program to cut out the monotony.
Also, try to find programmers in the company who may want someone to write unit tests for them. Companies (and programmers alike) are realizing more and more that they need unit testers.
Very impressive! Now where can I purchase one of these?:)
I worked on Western Michigan's car (the Sunseeker) and unfortunately we were disqualified during the preliminaries due to issues with the solar grid flying off. I'm not sure how Michigan's car performs, but we calculated the ours to expend a little over $10k in parts per race. Considering the amount of work and money that went into these cars, only to be used for a short endurance race, tells me that these cars are far from production.
When I came to slashdot for the first time, I thought, "Wow, I'm really glad I found a place where people can provide intellectual arguments and have the facts to back them up." My respect for the authors and many of the posters have gone downhill since then, especially when it comes to religious discussion. The utter innaccuracy and bias in the presentation of TFA has really demonstrated the quality of slashdot to me.
Thanks kdawson for this great article...

You've allowed conservatives to corrupt the term political correctness into something negative. PC is about fairness, not about "person hole covers" or quotas. Sure, some people took it to a bizarre extreme (as people are wont to do), but conservatives put that extreme up as a straw man and said "this is what PC is about"... and you bought into it.
Oh please. Again with the "Blame conservatives!" response for a problem that was created by liberals. Case in point, Look at many of the responses to TFA. Many if not most \.ers are liberal, yet they too seem up in arms about it as well, not just those silly conservatives.
When does political correctness ever create fairness?
How does this "contain too much BS"? The article references both an eyewitness account and an assessment of the aftermath. Whether they show different numbers or not doesn't really reflect on the article itself, just on reliability of the information retrieved.

Good point. The man merely got the reward due to his celebrity status and the politically bent nature of the Nobel Committee.
I couldn't believe I was watching TBS and saw a commercial with him advertising one of their stupid shows they broadcasted. What a joke.
Michael Crichton has warned about this before in his book Next and has apparently cause politics to take interest.

Many of us linux users alternate between using linux and windows on the same machine. How does that factor into the usage chart?

Perhaps he found the cure for ALS...shred all his grant money and inject himself with it.

This is interesting considering that India has participated in the ongoing battle to make things cheap.
Those scientists better develop a morality core before it's too late.

I tried to RTFA, but upon clicking the link I was directed to a porn site.

The picture states that the robot has "23 inches" and points to a questionable area...
do you all subconsciously blacklist items you see from an annoying advertisement (or any advertisement at all)? Classmates is at the top of my list.
"HE married HER!? And they have 7 kids!?"

\. decides to do an article on the new Prince of Persia?
Come on! Where's the article on Wii Music or Wii Sports Resort?

Don't worry, in California this is legal.
