I always laugh at their silly robo projects. It's easy to do but I know that eventually all their silly research projects are going to culminate in something truly astounding. After all the first attempts at flight were silly.
I'm just waiting for Sotomayor's Paris Hilton style homemade porn video to be released. I hope that long forgotten boyfriend held onto that tape they made that one rather forgetful night.
I only recently addopted ATI cards over Nvidia. The only reason I didn't use ATI cards prior was due to poor drivers yes. How ever I decided to give them a try since AMD took them over, so I waited a few development cycles and got myself a 4850 card. Works great.
I've got to say I don't share your experience at all. Beyond the little cpu bug fiasco I've never had an issue with AMD and I wasn't even caught up with that bug as I adopted slightly later when they released revised phenoms. Honestly AMD don't have a bad track record. I see you're recommending from personal experience though, I'd just have to say I'd go the other way.
I hate all these cloaking articles they give really great 'examples' of what could be done with such technology but the actual news is much more mundane. In fact from the small freaking article it seems they have a math proof probably not even a prototype yet.
I've been into gamestop before and opened their 'empty' cases to find serial numbers inside. Once I've something like that there is almost nothing keeping me from going to say 'battlenet' and registering that copy of warcraft as my own. They even let me download the game from their site as well.
I never buy PC games from gamestop simply because you can't be sure someone hasn't already nipped the serial number from it.
Just imagine if such a substance existed naturally and wasn't deadly under normal conditions.
Weight rooms and fitness equipment would be so much smaller, or the counter-balance of cranes would be relatively tiny. A large number of applications exist for ultra dense materials it's a shame something more mundane and naturally occurring doesn't exist(as far as we know).
It doesn't have to do entirely new stuff. We play duke nukem for duke and the setting. Not innovative game play gimmicks. Could always play dead space if you wanted that.
A few is more like 3 centuries ago, and when I speak of computers I don't mean an abacus or basic analog computers.
More to the point I'm saying humanity shouldn't ever truly accept such an idea as impossible simply because it appears to violate the laws of physics as we understand them. I'm surprised so many people missed that in my initial post and decided instead to shoot holes in my obviously quickly constructed examples of what we can achieve despite being considered impossible at the time or not having been considered at all.
It's good to remind ourselves sometimes that such things may be possible. It's obvious from the articles length that it's publication is simply due to the movie coming out. How ever I think it's important not to simply shut our eyes and claim things impossible. Just a few centuries ago computers were impossible, as was flying and a great number of other things we think of as common now.
The article though isn't much more besides an attempt to generate hits from the looks of things.

When I saw the image that's the first thing I thought as well. Glad to see I wasn't the only one who saw that.

I was actually thinking about buying a kindle but after reading this story I 100% against buying one. Way to go amazon.
It was just a joke. That's why it's modded funny. Relax let the nerd rage flow out of you and into the chair.

New features! "basically everything rockband had"

Neither of those are exclusive to the government, or have you never been to Texas?

not only will I be able to tea bag noobs in halo I can give them a cam show while doing it!
Interesting I didn't know this! Then again I work out about as often as your average sea slug. Don't these springs become imprecise over time though?

Perhaps they plan to buy part of the wireless spectrum out from under the noses of google.

Ruling out existing methods isn't looking for new sources.
Necessity is the mother of all invention. Lets take this opportunity to find a new method of powering probes for such long distance missions.
once the beta starts he'll be getting a divorce.

Thank you, you saved me the trouble of replying to the statement above yours.

I don't use facebook either. In fact the only thing I've close to social networking would be ./ or stumbleupon.
Twitter could be owned by the legion of doom and it still wouldn't make it interesting or remotely useful.
I've got to say I've RTFAed as well and Wolfram seems damn interesting. More useful than pulling up hundreds of seemingly random links.
