Are you implying that if google dies then everyone interested in SEO(search engine optimization) will just go away, instead of smelling a new and fresh profit opportunity and continue doing business as usual with a new search engine?
Anyone with a brain can recognize affiliate links or overhyped profiteering or just plain lies that generally accompany the spam/fake reviews/miracle product sites. Those who can't are going to lose their money to email spam, or offline advertisements, or late night informercials anyway.
The Xilinx virtex-7 series supposedly contain up to two million logic blocks. If i've got it right the spartan is the xilinx hobby lineup whereas the virtex is their Industry lineup.
A non-FPGA AMD/Intel CPU will always be faster doing general CPU business than a FPGA implemented one doing the same.
It is however a stupid approach, a CPU is built to do general purpose calculations to allow for all software to exist without specialized hardware. A FPGA on the other hand is made to configure into specialized hardware in order to... well, i guess not having to build a lot of prototypes for hardware testing was its original purpose. But its use go far beyond that in that it could turn into that specialized hardware that would make your program run oh-so-bloody-fast. Ideally we would have a FPGA that instantly reconfigures on the fly and that have a compiler which turns any and all C-code into highly optimized FPGA code. Heck, even a small general purpose FPGA area implemented on motherboards to be used by games and software for a limited hardware optimization space could speed up and enable great things to be done as there are tasks that are MUCH faster when hardware implemented(i've heard the number 100-1000 times acceleration of dealing with gene sequencing data(although i guess the 1000x value is for the $2k FPGA chips)).
A quick guess is that like most things gaining weight, it also became a lot bigger.
And being a ball, it won't die of cardiovascular complication before becoming really really huge.
It wouldn't look like anything at all because due to blizzards fascist grade tos they would have everyone banned for botting/macros.
They would then release a Blizzard-certified movement-controlled-wow-interface for $300.
Bomb sniffing dogs won't find knives and firearms and whatnot, and probably not a whole lot of other volatile stuff you don't want people to take on planes. But of course, the scanners and whatnot are not very good at finding that either.
My suggestion is body-sized ziplock bags and a trailing luggage aircraft.Probably cheaper in the long run too.
Thives get RFID readers with antennas, check how much you are carrying and only pick high value targets.
Oh, and no use carrying a "fake" wallet with low bills. They'll scan you just to make sure they got everything once again after you hand over the wallet.
So your advice is what exactly, that we all adopt an ill-defined philosopher-lifestyle/society and suddenly have the world turn utopian from our current day dreary and grey existance? To me that sounds like every other ideology out there that promises freedom, comfort and an enjoyable life for all and then fails to deliver while turning into some facist derivate.
Philosophy is only a pretty word for wild speculation/daydreaming/brainstorming, it's a narrow tool, not a fundament of human life. The people who fancy themself as philosophers are only lazy people who wish to get paid for just thinking random thoughts and producing fancy pants arguments and ideas with little to no real world value. They also fancy their fact-devoid opinion to somehow be worth more than anyone else, because hey, they are philosophers.
The only true philosophy is the one that a philosopher holds, which manifests in literally endless arguments about philosophy between philosopher, it is argument for arguments sake and there's no solution to it which manifests in people debating subjects ranging from hundred to thousands of years old, trying to find support for their view. Guy 1:"Hay guise, Plato support my view!" Guy 2:"Lol no, my better analysis of his philosphy says you're wrong" Guy 3: "You're both wrong because Plato was wrong, this have been proven by neo-philosophistic logicism!"
That's more or less the core of philosophy.
The future of parenthood specialized lawyers look bright. Imagine the hilarious cases where the mother loses the child she birthed due to not being the biological mother.
Of course, this have almost already happened due to chimerism(the ovaries being a different genotype than the blood that is used for DNA test).
Braincells communicate via synapses(of which there are approximately 10000 per neuron), synapses can form for long time or very transient. But at any given time you are constantly reforming and pruning synapses. At the end of the day you're having a new heap of synapses that are the days impression and when you wake up the next day the body have pruned away the vast majority of these synapses, giving you a fresh start.
At what point of artificial intereference with this synapse forming game would we lose ourself? And at what physical place do we find the "core of our being, I-ness self synapse" that we just can't get rid of and still be ourself? Or could it be that we're looking at a holistic concept which actually is always transient and delude ourself into thinking it's some constant and continuity to the process?
Probably we're just networks, not all to different from the internet at our core, of course there's a bit more than two webcams on the internet, and it doesn't need to work or find food to sustain itself, but at its core a lot of interconnected nodes, talking to eachother.
It might be news from the O/OREOS satellite launched a few days ago. according to wiki it's supposed to rehydrate/feed a bunch of extremophiles on board a "few days" after launch. Given the time for bacterial growth cycles they could quite likely have news already fromt his one, which would probably either be "bacteria revived in microgravity thrives perfectly well in!" or "bacteria revived in microgravity catch fire and die"
It's the classic, "amino acid X found in space", that comet they swooshed by recently would be a good target for announcing "amino acid y found on comet".
Then again it's too classic, so it definitely have to be MASS RELAY FOUND IN PLUTONIAN ORBIT!
I was thinking about him yesterday, of that one scene where he manages to flip the priceless but water intolerant pen into the aquarium with the award winning lionfish. Dunno why i was reminded of it, i didn't even remember what his name was, and when i remembered i wondered if he was still alive. And now i find out he died approximately when i was reminded of it. If i was paranormally inclined i'd claim to have psychic powers, but i guess it's just coincidence. It's a loss either way, he was my childhood comedy hero.

You seem to be blissfully unaware of our history until a few decades ago.
Why don't they just put a dial going up to 11 on the laser?
The switch to being a dead man should be sufficient to limit any feelings of embarrasment.
It's easy, you give them a right and then use your power to revoke it as a leverage to get them to do what you want.
I think that's what we all fear

Some very sucessful people crashed the worlds economy, while getting filthy filthy rich at the same time.
One mans poison is another mans profit.
We're awfully close to (meta^n)patents when we start going down that path.

He's obviously a coward of some sort given that he have approximately half a billion slashdot accounts, that number at the end of his name is an hint.
Wikileaks is embarassing everyone who deserves it. I approve.

Well, my childhood ended a fair bit over a decade ago, and i've never been into memorising the names of actors.
I was thinking about him yesterday, of that one scene where he manages to flip the priceless but water intolerant pen into the aquarium with the award winning lionfish.
Dunno why i was reminded of it, i didn't even remember what his name was, and when i remembered i wondered if he was still alive. And now i find out he died approximately when i was reminded of it.
