Using this in conjunction with the new Google Brain search should make spotting nefarious terrorists, murderers, drug traffickers and torrenters easy. The program should be run by Alfred Bester.
Exactly. As do we all. This is why discussing the games like RapeLay is kind of a red herring (as the article seems to insinuate, I'm just sick of my friends yapping about it as if it were indicative of mainstream gaming... forgive my rant). Sure, games like that make me want to puke, but who cares? Its a game for sickos made by sickos, it does not reflect on gaming culture as a whole any more than a fetish-indulging book refelcts on the entirety of literature as a whole. The real problem is that people latch on to examples and try to generalize them.
Well, to be fair the point of my joke is that I was pretending to be stupid. I just thought it was so stupid no one would take it seriously... so I guess it's partially my fault.
Is this the start of a trend due to economically troubled times? This conCERNs me.
Bad puns aside, I guess with an economy like this, CERN should expect some resistance.;) http://press.web.cern.ch/press/PressReleases/Releases2008/PR14.08E.html
For f***'s sake (I'll just not analyze that one literally, suffice to say I doubt this has anything to do with intercourse), joke != lack of knowledge (even if the joke isn't particularly good).
It's finally time to start up my competitor to the NSA. The American Security Service (acronym to be determined) will, for the cost of hard drives on ebay (as well as some key other components... you never know what might be hidden in all those GPUs... we'd better test them. And those CPUs... and that RAM... and those computer games...), provide quality security and defense against our enemies. Especially if those enemies happen to be in the games I'm playing at the time.
Finally, they are creating a government entity to control the weather rather than just sit by and watch it helplessly. Stupid natural weather! What did it ever do for us anyways? The real question is, will we be able to use this power to cause natural disasters for our enemies or just avert them from ourselves?
Or is this just another meaningless committee to tell us that carbon is bad every couple of weeks?
Hmph! 21026 of my 25826 ideas were easily better than this! Seriously, what's with all you people spamming bad ideas like that at them? All your doing is making them take longer sifting through my ideas to tell me which one of them won.
Right, and he intends to get the money somehow... as if it couldn't be tracked. My guess is that this guy is as good as caught, or its a hoax. Either way, expect to see more restrictive internet legislation because of this.
Will a potato in the tailpipe still work, or will it operate as an afterburner? At least priming the tube with your mouth to syphon gas will be more pleasant now:D
YES! Now we need a sci-fi in which Humphry Bogart and his sidekick Charlie Chaplin to investigate an evil cartel of cyberninjas headed by Bruce Lee and Toshiro Mifune. In the end it truns out the mastermind was Cary Grant and his minion Peter Lorre. Epic!
Politicians thrive on buzzwords. Thus, those who work for politicians thrive on buzzwords. The assumption is that people in general do not know more about a subject than the buzzwords themselves... unfortunately the assumption is usually right.
I'd say its an issue kind because of the of responsibility difference. As a husband/adult, you are responsible for the money you blow while gambling. To place the same responsibility on a ten-year-old kid for the tax money that pays for his education is just ludicrous. He may be wasting money, but its no different from his wasting money when he daydreams in class.
I'm sorry, do macs not have to reformat when you get a new CPU, GPU, Motherboard, RAM and change your RAID0 configuration from 2 drives to 3? People sometimes use reformatting as a way to clean their registry or remove viruses or defrag. I'm just saying that it is unnecessary, if you know what you're doing, thus for users like myself (ie, those who know how to google "how to defrag"), pcs are efficient and easy to use.
"Macs are better" sums up "they know what they are talking about" rather succinctly. They know "macs are better," they don't know why, they don't know how, but they know macs are better. They know that if they delete a file on a pc, it's Microsoft's fault; if they delete a file on their mac, it's theirs. If they don't know how to import bookmarks to firefox on a mac it's their fault; if they don't know how to import bookmarks to firefox on a pc, it's Microsoft's. This is the nonsensical mentality I'm talking about, not that one system is better for one type of user than another, but that "macs are better" across the board, when they don't even do a logical (as you say, equal) comparison.
I loved that article. My entire family is made up fo mac minions, and keep tellign me this kind of thing, despite the fact that I have never had a virus, never had to reformat except when I rebuilt the whole computer, get way more performance and paid one third as much as they did.
99.9978% of americans dont need to go from NY to LA via high speed rail.
Leaving only 6600 who do? I'd guess a bit higher. There's demand enough for trains, it's just that America is something that England, Japan and Germany is not. REALLY REALLY BIG. Train tracks have to be really long and we have to get the tracks exactly where people want to go (think about how many airports we need/have, and people still rent cars when they get there). It's an awful lot of infrastructure, and requires a lot of maintenance.
My guess is that gimmicks like this will eb killed when cost estimates start comming in. The same thing happend in Florida in 2004, or around then.
Since the panels could be used as the roof itself, there wouldn't be any more leverage for storms to rip them off.
True, except Murphy's law dictates that a more expensive roof is more likely to be destroyed.
Another thing that came to mind, though: Having a big effing generator is all nice and well, but what do they do at night? Do they have a dam nearby they can use as a power reservoir?
Or during four days of cloud cover during a large hurricane for that matter. My guess is that they are tied into the FPL network and will be powered by one of the Nuclear generators around there. You can't really have an effective dam in Florida, it's too flat, water will just run around it.
That is because my dear Creationist friends try to take Entropy as a philosophical rather then a scientific idea. They are not the only ones who do this sort of thing though, so let us not single htem out. Far too many people try to base philosophy in science that they do not understand (Quantum Mechanics disproves/proves fate/determinism!).

All they need is something to lift their Spirits... maybe a good comedy movie will do the trick. (sry, the pun HAD to be made)

Nevertheless, "a resistive zone developed" which kicked off the whole problem.
It's supposed to be, but that's what failed during tests. See the link.

The other top contenders for the project is Cyberdyne Systems and a man calling himself "The Architect."

So instead they got media coverage about how they are affluent and easy targets for burglars?
