  1. Re:declining oil production on Thorium, the Next Nuclear Fuel? · · Score: 1

    Iran doesn't want another country to do to them what they did to the West in the 70s.

    Just to keep things in perspective: Iran was a CIA shop back in those days-

    OK, we are slowly getting there. Still missing the part where "to be shot" is spelled the same way as "to be pushed (in a wheelbarrow)"

    no idea whatsoever what you are talking about?

    This would have been such an excellent application for the homeless, somebody please write it ... and why not "Save a Whale" and "Feed the World" while you are at it?

  7. Re:Yep on Tilera To Release 100-Core Processor · · Score: 1

    Identifying a "supercomputer" is easy: If you can plug it in - it ain't! And if you do anyway, the +100kW power drain will instantly make you wish you hadn't.

  8. Re:Because Cisco would never do such a thing on Senators Want To Punish Nokia, Siemens Over Iran · · Score: 1

    China does not threaten to bomb israel ...

    Neither does Iran! And FYI: Repeating a lie infinitely does not - despite the wisdom of Lenin, Göring et al - suddenly make it become true.

    On the other hand, Israel - and not least her most rabid Zionist supporters in the US - has for the last several months gone on record with daily threats to Iran as well as time after time begging the US administration to instigate yet another war in the Middle East. Go figure ...

  9. Re:Make sure... on Flying Car Ready To Take Off · · Score: 1

    Easy, just place the "transform back to car" handle on the outside.

    Last time I checked Israel was still in control of the northern half of Gaza. You know, that half that extends up to the port of Ashdod.

    The Chinese didn't actually capture Texas. It was given to them by the UN as a sorry excuse for the wrongdoings by the Japs in WW2 ...

    Yes indeed irony that no Lehi leader was ever charged for the assasination of Lord Moyne (although their foot-soldiers did get hung in the end.)

  13. Re:A Brief Politically Incorrect But Truthful Hist on Man Invents Alternative To Cooking Gas · · Score: 2, Informative

    The Kingdom of Israel was a result of an invasion from Egypt by former slaves who at the time may or may not be considered Jews. At least Moses had his troubles convincing them not to worship golden calfs while he was away picking up the latest news from God ... The Philistines were there when they first arrived.

  14. Re:I Call Bullshit on Man Invents Alternative To Cooking Gas · · Score: 1

    A problem with your theory is that it is all fairytales, made up by Ben Gurion so that Jewish children should not look upon their parents as being greedy landgrabbers. An understandable position, who would want that?

    The creation of Israel and the displacement of the native population came first.

  16. Re:obvious answer on Man Invents Alternative To Cooking Gas · · Score: 1

    You are pretending that there was no war in -47 and before that there was no arab uprising in -36? The 50's was an ecological disaster with Israel pumping the wells dry untill they were filled with salt water from the sea. Water now replaced with what rightfully belongs to neighbouring countries.

  17. DSP on Reading Guide To AI Design & Neural Networks? · · Score: 1

    Russel/Norvig has already been mentioned many times above and if you can follow that one, you should be fine regarding basic Computer Science. While you wonder where to go next, take a detour into digital signal processing so that your machines will end up having sensors tailor made for the job they are supposed to do as well as being able to easily transform a dataset into some format that actually makes sense.

    Debian (stable) is occasionally so out of touch it won't even boot on contemporary Intel hardware. So no!

    Where does the negativity come from?

    Simple: It's better to be ignorant and rich rather than educated and poor.

    How about instead putting a second battery in its own case with solar power. That way you can leave the charger out in the sun, while you yourself stay cool - poolside with a pina collada? - in the shade ...

  24. Pandoras Box ... Supersized? on Linux Rescues Battery Life On Vista Notebooks From Dell · · Score: 1
    This appears to be exactly the same concept as that BeautyBox from yesterday - with a gamepad molded into it - called Pandora, only much, much more expensive.

    According to the TI manual, it will do 40bit fixpoint mul as well, apparently for the sole reason that this is what is needed for implementing a quality vocoder? .. Hey, that is what I would like to call /sound/ engineering! :-D
