If i understand it correctly it sortof adds a layer of transparency to information on twitter, however either i'm dense or it's a bit tricky to understand what it really means.
Jens Stober, 23, is currently occupied with making his next game, Auschwitz Online ready for the close beta stage.
That being said: there's thousands of tragic events troughout history that is or have been turned into entertainment. Or even better, is so obscure that even if they were turned into entertainment people would think they were based on pure fiction.
But of course, some dead people are more equal than other and deserve more respect amirite?
He would've been a douche had he he said chances are 99,9999999999999999999%, like any good scientist he made his argument understandable to the layman by rounding up.
A pig with cybernetic organs, wings and lipstick is definitely not the same old pig, it may still be a pig, but not the same old pig.
Just like a pig you haven't seen before with multitouch support and accelerometers is also a pig.
My point being, if you can reform your pigs sufficiently they'll save your business.
Having had decent sucess in the multi core race, AMD decides to innovate the field first with dating advice and the subsequent release of their hardcore line of processors, running at a comfortable 37c, G-hardened and fluid proofed. The first being the classic dual-hardcore version, but more adventuros users may be interested in the hexa-hardcore model of the magny-coques lineup.
Technically it's just a string of binary you're posesssing, and he do have a point in the stigmatisation. Had Mr Thompson been accused of murdering children instead he certainly wouldn't have been spit upon. And had Mrs Thompson had affairs with schoolchildren it too would've passed with lesser spite.
From a personal point i would much rather prefer to be laid by Mrs Thompson while in 3rd grade, and if i instead had to chose between Mr Weiner the Butt-rape-bandit and Mr Manson the maniac-murderer, the choice is obvious, though the stigmatisation said persons would face is not in line with that choice.
The stigmatisation is also bad in that politicians can, and do, use it as a straw man for promoting draconian laws(and internet filters) of various kinds, and if anyone opposes then they are obviously pedophiles.
Symbian S^3 supposedly is going to change things a fair bit. More importantly should be them enabling QT on both symbian and meego devices. The OS is of lesser importance if you can cross-compile things from left to right and up to down.
Also, abandoning symbian for meego may simply not be viable for all hardware, remember that nokia have an enormous global market of low-spec phones .
Considering blackberry, android and iOS are all recent and new entries i see no reason why nokia couldn't reform the symbian platform to a new look, while retaining backward compatibility.
Nokias largest problem is that they have a billion different phone models, none which have particularly fancy hardware specs and functionality.
You also have to see past the US, there's a world of phone users out there, and whereas you have a half mile queue to the macstore when they release their new iphone in the US you'll see the same in various parts of asia to nokia stores. Except for japan, they have their own strange breed of phones.
They'll bake them together in batches of one million unsoved requests, and do the court run once a month 1mil * 1500 *30 = €45 billion.
Now if anyone here doesn't realize the law was written entirely by copyrigth interest groups then just look at that number again, no on bothers to throw around fantasy sums like that except for the US goverment or the entertainment copyright lobby.
Considering they(grandparents) were cousins, I'm sure I would've been better off had she been a dirty slut, genetically speaking.
Unfortunately she's(alive still, and) a strict and religious lady.
That being said, who doesn't love their grandparents even though they have their flaws?
However, i do plan to cheat my fate by being an educated person and as such having a smaller chance to catch alzheimers, by also being a doctor i should have the best possible defense against neural degeneration.
No, i was attempting a variation of the stupid "I may have alzheimers but atleast i don't have alzheimers" joke.
But you're obviously all too dense to appreciate subtlety, so here you have the explanation for it.
And if you wonder, yes he really had alzheimers, it may not have been the precise reason he died but it was at an advanced stage when he passed away.
Well, there are agreements which prohibits the use of Multiple Independent RISC Vehicles in your devices.
Though i guess you're fine as long as the russians don't find out.
even the present is not rosy, and it's only going to get worse, especially when oil wells start drying up and prices soar to $1000/barrel during the 2020s.
If slashdot and your account is still present when the 2020s start, i'll make sure to give you an annual reminder of this prediction until we're in the 2030s.
Well obviously the earth will be fried when the sun goes red giant. However I'm quite certain though that the year 5 billion AD equivalent of a electronics engineers will sit in jovian orbit, hellbent on the continuation of moores law and waiting for the sun to turn white dwarf so they can get to work with their new fancy sub-nm electron-degenerate matter lithography techniques.
They'll wake you up from cryo when they're done just to taunt you: "Oh, we're having a few billion years between the nodes now, but it fits the curve, just as i told you."
>>>Like what?
I'm not a fuel engineer so i'm not sure on the specifics, but there are methods for deriving hydrocarbon equivalents or good enough substitutes from organisms that are only recently dead, biofuels you know, I also have a distinct memory of hearing about some technique to turn CO2 into fuel, that of course is probably something we'll only bother with when the coal run out in a few hundred years.
>>> We were supposed to have flying highways
We were also supposed to face global famine/population caps in the 20th century due to the old cliche of overpopulation, along came the green revolution and food suddenly could be made availible in abundance.
>>>Asimov described that future
And the Turner Diaries have the neo-nazis take over the US and exterminate all black people(according to wiki atleast). Just because a book paints a picture of doom and gloom doesn't mean reality will follow.
Energy wise we have an extreme abundance, it's just that the necessary technologies for utilization of it is lacking, geothermal, solar or fission, and if you are allowed to belive in fusion could all single handendly supply the entire earth with all our energy needs if refined and developed on a large scale, that's _all_ forms of energy, not just our electricity needs, and if we ever find ourself in need of ludicrous energy levels we can presumable paint the moon in solar panels or anchor huge arrays of them in the lagrange spots. Or start building that bloody dyson sphere if we find a need to support more than a few trillion people.
In recent history, no negative prediction fortelling catastrophic economical, societal or otherwise a really really bad turn of events have turned out to be true. I don't see why i should assume any future prediction along those lines should have any more luck, more likely we're getting better at adaptation and as such being more capable of mitigating he impact of whatever that's threatening to ruin our day. And no, the recent economic downturn does not qualify a catastrophic events, it was bad and ugly, but far from a catastrophe.
The wall or plateu or whatever you prefer to call it of electronics progress is similar to the recurring doomsday predictions. It's always right around the corner, but it never happens.
I guess we could liken it to fusion, strong AI, the second coming of Jesus and whatever else that generally is put in the belive it when see it folder.
Oil costing $1000 per barrel will happen if the dollar hyperinflates(then we can probably suspect $1billion/barrel) or if everyone stops using oil for anything for a few decades and you buy an authentic barrel of 2010 BP as a collectors item.
Barring massive market manipulation, inflation or some semi-apocalyptic event there will never ever be a time when oil could rise to $1000 a barrel while our dependence on it is kept at a level similar to today. Long before it would hit that price it becomes economically viable to use non-fossile sources for all our hydrocarbon needs.
Oh, and for nature to impose population limits for us she better start working now, because we're nowhere short of stopping technological advancements allowing us to be more than ever before, in increasingly smaller spaces. Heard about vertical hydroponics? It's like skyscrapers for plants, allowing us to grow more than ever before per square meter of earth surface. It's extremely unlike that we'll suddenly freeze the earth population at 6b, it's a pipe dream of the crazy enviromentalist lobby. By year 3000, we'll be a hundred billion people, on approximately the same footprint, with a higher standard of living.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scramjet#Theory
Scramjets don't need supersonic airflow, they only need a dynamic pressure that is in the right interval. If you look at the equation in the wiki link you'll see that it will be able to operate at lower speeds at lower altitude, in fact, it will not be able to operate at mach 10 at low altitude at all, but would constantly speed up as it gains altitude to keep an approximately constant dynamic pressure.
Seems elegant enough for me.
And the scramjet would only be a middle stage vehicle, it would carry a rocket craft in addition to put things into orbit.

The authour should've seen this coming and made the first print run 9,5 million books instead.
Apparently he's still alive, atleast wikipedia doesn't state he have died of any causes.
