I like the idea of using infrared for simulating skin sensivity. At first I thought hard modules are a bad way for creating a artificial sensual skin but using a solution without the need of direct contact could be useful (e.g. in highly damageable environments).
isn't it "You're what Facebook tries to sell to their potential customers"? The whole business model is imo based on an idea and at the moment venture capital companies believe in this dream
how do the graphics in the llano stack up against the i3's graphics?
this is not only answered in TFS but even in TFT:)
and arguable your question is kind of senseless as Intels i3 is not a CPU/GPU combination but "only" a processor, though if you use your i3 with Intel on-board graphics the AMD will run circles around it.
A distinct selection of systems was sought after and the number of systems was just limited to time available. As only having a 64-bit edition of Windows 7 Professional, the hardware was also limited to newer platforms and no vintage hardware.
I love the laconic honesty; something that seems to be missing in other comparisons/tests/studies
how ironic that comments with an irony marker are taken completely serious....
btw, the NASA document is a quite interesting read - the debris statistic started in 1961, of the total of nearly 13k trackable objects are a little bit over 7k now either outside of GEO or dropped backed to earth. The amount is surprisingly low, I expected much more objects; even considering the difficulties identifying the pieces, the Kessler effect seems top be exaggerated.
otoh, a single Ariane 5 launch (costs ~ US$ 160m) could transport over 16k Aluminum spheres with an diameter of 10 cm (minimum size for identifying debris according to the NASA pdf) to a LEO, a *very* interesting price for playing havoc with satellite-dependent businesses and military. And why stop at using solid objects? An optimized design could add much more debris - the biggest payload fairing has an usable volume of 200m^3
Yeah, fat chance - it's not like China has any space station that might be at risk.
You are aware that China is building it's own station? And that in 2007 the country tried to become a partner of the ISS (with positive reactions from Russia and the ESA) but was not invited?
how is the unerasable storage slot implemented? will a second copy of the game create a new one? I don't think so (but maybe/hopefully/whatever I'm wrong)
I couldn't believe your claim but it seems you're right...
I found informations about the PV installation at the main train station in Freiburg - it was build (mostly for political/design reasons) with vertical solar cells (see page 38 for a picture).
according to the details on page 41 (upper table in the right column, German only...) the annual output is 59 kWh/m2, this paper estimates the energy requirement for monocrystalline cell modules (including frame, supports, inverter and human labour) to 7900 MJ/m2.
Amortization time 37 years, or 120-150% of the expected lifetime.
one possability would be an obligatory dead man's switch for such systems. how is this problem solved with current types of cruise control? (never drove a car with this feature)
Slashdot Mirror
A statue, a memorial or at least a postage stamp
A stamp would be the most visible remembrance, so if the government tries to ignore this issue a statue somewhere in the wild is more likely.
but wait:
So on behalf of the British government, and all those who live freely thanks to Alan’s work I am very proud to say: we’re sorry, you deserved so much better.
it was late, it was little* - but the government is not too much to blame here.
*) some other items are a plaque at his birthhouse or this statue at Bletchley Park

argh, call me stupid; like you I read only half of TFS and ignored the Sandy-Bridge-sentence :/
how do the graphics in the llano stack up against the i3's graphics?

this is as new as the revolutionary conducting pen ink. Probably "first time" and "developed recently" are differently defined at gizmag...
the "study" design altogether ist great.
from TFA:

You mean, "maybe now the Chinese will stop blowing up their own satellites as a show of strength"?
the debris cloud of Fengyun 1-C was only 17% of the trackable debris in Aug 2007 :)

exactly, the evil commies at Skype Technologies SA in Luxembourg are well known to collaborate with the enemy
the experiments may generate the PB per second but most of the data is rejected before it hits any storage system...
thanks a lot, at least something I learned today
can anyone explain the last table of TFA? I could understand zero as a marketing event but a negative price seems rather unusual...
how is the unerasable storage slot implemented? will a second copy of the game create a new one? I don't think so (but maybe/hopefully/whatever I'm wrong)
not only linear but recognized as rather boring by Capcom - they believe the feature "replayable" will not increase the sales.
as a more serious side note: according to this article the Rice University in Houston is actually testing white space radio in the US
at least the terminology is already US-based, pg. 14 explains the changed wording from 'cognitive devices' to 'white space devices' with
In the US the term WSDs has become common usage and we see no value in having different terminology for the same device.
A rational and straight-forward motivation issued by a public authority? I'm *shocked*
something like professional script kiddies? what could possibly go wrong... :)

A company called Konarka developed fully transparent cells in 2009, brownish and blueish cells from Sunways are already used in existing buildings.
Stack overflow
imo the correct mem would be CARRIER LOST...
I don't get the idea behind such features - where are dislike, -1, WikiHate?
Those one-click-feelgood buttons are not even a valid substitute for real feedback...
No, AMD does not make a C++ compiler.
what about Open64?
after reading the title I hoped for an application on the Playstation - Facebook missed a chance for a real nice trolling :/
