Yeah, it would be quite hard putting a telescope on the surface of a gas giant....
As for the question, I'd assume by looking for gravitational wobbles of stars (since I'd assume other techniques would not be available without the correct instruments?)
Apart from the fact they are AVX enabled (256bit SSE registers). Since the Intel graphics chips are partially implemented in software, there should be a bit of a performance boost in the TnL pipeline. An Nvidia/Ati card would perform better though (and are easier to code for)
No. Read up on Intel AVX. The SIMD registers have been doubled in size from the previous generation. You can now do 8 floats per instruction instead of 4.....:)
That's most likely the source of the performance increase... not the clock speed increase
Well not quite. As I understand it, the vertex (and I'm assuming geom + compute + tessellation) shaders are all implemented in software on the CPU. Whereas the last generation of i7's were SSE4 enabled (4 floats per instruction), the new models come with AVX (8 floats per instruction). One would assume therefore there should be a significant improvement in 3D performance as a result.... (assuming memory bandwidth doesn't cause too many problems).
Considering 'force' was first described by newton, that may cast doubt on whether pound-force was good enough for baby jesus. 'pound' weight measures aren't in the bible either, just bekas, schekles, minas, pims, gerahs and talents.
By that I assume you mean me? Seeing as I'm one of the many people who actually pay for that news service?
Wikileaks, Co$, and any other campaign that anon has decided to act upon *are* causes worthy of bringing some serious media attention to. Do you really think having a 15 year old as the spokesperson for that cause (of which it is obvious they have no understanding) is a good idea? If you knew nothing of the wikileaks organisation, the most you will find out in the British media about it, is that some 15 year olds are doing some hacking for the LULZ, and their leader is a rapist.
So no. I am not laughing. Anon is getting the media publicity, whilst the causes they are fighting for are being brushed under the carpet.....

I dunno, I'm getting very tired of the continual 'news' regarding anonymous on the bbc website. It's typically involves some random 'source' who is apparently affiliated with anon, who hasn't been involved with any of anon's activities, doesn't speak for them, but feels compelled to spout some non-newsworthy opinions. It's not news. It's just 15 year olds on 4chan. Enough already.
However they are only located in places where under 18's are explicitly banned from, or can only be there legally with adult supervision. I imagine we'll see the continental 'swipe you debit card to prove you're over 18' before too long.
It's ok, you don't need to organise a march on london just yet. They were actually fake politicians. I made it up.
It should be obvious by now that I'm a proper Welshman myself (for the English know nothing of Swansea. They all turn back at Port Talbot, if they haven't already done so). If the question of "which city should the alien invaders be pointed towards" ever arise in parliament, Swansea would still be fairly high on my list, and I might even recommend an overnight stay in port talbot. Most of the people in Swansea would view the aliens as liberators anyway, so all things considered, everybody wins.....
The lib/con coalition government did a cost/benefit analysis as part of their spending review. Whilst I don't have a source to hand, IIRC it came down to a simple decision in the end. On one hand you could invest billions in military hardware to save cardiff from an alien invasion. On the other hand, you could simply erect some signs pointing out the direction of Swansea. When it went to a vote in the house of commons, no one could find fault in the second option.....
That's not true. The age discrimination laws (in the UK at least), apply to anyone under the age of 65. If you are 66, the only right you have is to ask your employer for an extension of employment beyond the age of 65. So in actual fact, It is perfectly legal to discriminate against someone who is 66, but illegal to discriminate against someone who is 18.....

Nah, hand in the answers on a pubic hair. A much better way to annoy that lecturer you don't like....

... there was a telescope, just not one he owned....

Sadly for you, that feature seems broken at the current time..... :p
It's not a fiber. It's a series of tubes.....

Unfortunately, it would seem they did so without any cohesive plan as to how they'd turn that into a decent source of revenue.
Which is a management failure is it not?
I dunno. The way in which you were forced to hold the N-Gage makes me think the phone part was added as an after-thought.....
the same people who bought the N-Gage I imagine.....
I dunno, in the article those screenshots seem pretty well hidden to me. Seems like auto-hide might be working a little bit too efficiently! :p
It's the name given to someone on 4chan....
Trick question! It doesn't have any fingers....
Translates to: Have you become accustomed to doing 80+ hour weeks for the last 5 years or so? Don't expect our company to be any different!

Five years ago people would have mocked you for wanting to play games on an N-GAGE.......
Ooops! Should have said asynchronously....
