You can take your story arc and... I'm not that interested. Let me slaughter lower level players and give me challenging group content. That's all I need.
I'm just speculating here, but I'd guess that it would be easier to create a massively parallel processing computer using this approach. Eventually at least. Right now the best we can do is simulate neurons on what are largely linear processing systems, which isn't very efficient.
The aliens have already done all of that protein folding nonsense. Once we make contact they'll share their technology, making your silly Folding@home obsolete.
There's no way this guy managed 5,000 school computers by himself, have you ever seen what teenagers can do to a computer lab? There are other administrators, and I find it hard to believe that they didn't notice. And it seems unlikely that he did 5,000 installs by himself. He's obviously taking a fall for everyone else involved.
Most drivers consider themselves good drivers. But most drivers are bad drivers. Anti-lock breaks save lives. Managed code saves billions in lost revenue every year. How many of you have seen a situation in which an in-house developer brewed their own solution, with disastrous results? Most I'll bet. Anti-lock breaks could have prevented that.
The cellphone will never replace cameras, net books, hand held game consoles, paper or thinking. You'll never be able to pack the quality of a high end Camera, the form factor of a netbook, the interface of a game console, the durability of a paper document, or (wtf) thinking into a cellphone.
It's not practical for a passive RFID tag to provide cryptographically secure authentication. Only a very small amount of power can be transmitted from the reader to the tag, just enough to transmit back a fairly simple ID. If you want a secure challenge/response mechanism it would require much more power, an active tag would be required.
Because it's not practical to produce a reader capable of transmitting enormous amounts of power, the complexity of passive tags is inherently limited. They are essentially glorified bar codes. This type of "fingerprinting" might add another level of complexity to the identification of tags, but it's not going to prevent counterfeit tags. At best it will slow down the production of counterfeit tags by an insignificant amount of time.
There will always be people who claim the LP is superior to a CD. It just sounds "real" they tell you. Personally, I'm fond of my mp3s. They just sound "real". You kids with your "lossless" formats just don't get it.
Memorize a single algorithm for generating all of your passwords. For example you might take the first name of a family member, modify it according to a set of rules, and append their birth date also modified by some set of rules. Now obviously you want to use something more secure than family names and birth dates, but you get the idea. With enough creativity, you'll end up with secure passwords.
There are several advantages to this method. When you forget a password, you can pull from your pool of initial values and generate passwords until you find the right one. And it's often easier to remember a set of initial values associated with a particular website/etc, than the complex password that you actually generate and use.
It's actually very simple. Zombies are cool, so are shotguns and chainsaws, and the Zombie Apocalypse is an awesome way for the world to end. It's really not more complex than that.
There's one problem with trying to explain your way through new technology. You end up with people sending printed messages through pneumatic tubes on intergalactic battleships, because the author couldn't thoroughly explain a more practical technology.
I understand that networked GPUs have become increasingly valuable in distributed processing. I'm not aware of anything that can utilize a 360. Can anyone offer input on that?
It's not uncommon for polls to be conducted in a less than objective fashion. For example, a pollster might play a series of carefully selected audio clips from a political debate, which are designed to make one candidate look better than the other, and then ask the subject their opinion of the candidates. The goal is to "push" an opinion on the subject rather than collect information.
If a push poll is successful, the data is going to be skewed. And after applying Benford's Law you're probably going to see a lot of 7s.
We must be talking about console games here. Big name PC releases generally go for $50. The only thing I can find on Steam right now that retails for more than $50 is a collectors edition of Aion. The standard edition is still available for $50.
So the question is, why do PC games sell for less?
I'm a poor guy. I come home from the coal mines every night and write code for stress relief. As a billionaire, I might have trouble finding time for things like travel, dining, or whatever billionaires do. I'd rather write code in a dark room.
You'd be amazed at what you can fix with a kitchen oven. I've never baked a PS3. But recently I recovered the PCB from an NES using an oven. It's not as precise as hot air rework, but when you've given up all other hope, it can be an effective last resort.
...started complaining about pop ups from the NYTimes website at least two days ago. You don't often see things like that on high-profile websites, so it caught me by surprise. I initially thought some form of malware was responsible for the popup.
A 4.7% adjustment makes sense. It provides that little extra "oomph" they desired, while not making it look blatently obvious that the survey is biased.
The only time childbirth in space would be required/permitted is on some sort of generational mission, right? In that case you're going to need some type of artificial gravity anyway, like the good old fashioned rotating wheel.
Or does anyone else think the Australian mint was modeled after a level in Doom? I'll bet if I shot one of those barrels it would take out any nearby imps.
Kind of like that, yeah.
I see a pair of glasses, with an information overlay, voice controlled with the pecking interface for browsing/privacy/libraries etc. It's your cellphone and laptop. Everythings in the cloud. And they're definately not legal while driving. Also, the foam pad industry will make a killing. Watching hulu while walking down the street can be dangerous.

This is exactly the wake you'd expect to be produced by a Vogon fleet.

Also, spelling is for losers.
