    almost all the American parts of the ISS are being made by the Russians. i think your view is a little warped by cold-war propaganda. Russians are always very strict on quality, and their shuttles have a better track record than the American ones. cough, cough, wakeup call: http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/industry/1285356.html

    if they stop, i start. people in all the war places can make their own news, and report to us. those papers are stuck in old world thinking, people aren't going to take it.

  4. big fat what? on Palm Pre To Sync Seamlessly With iTunes · · Score: 1

    big fat middle finger? i don't think apple is much worried about it. it's more like pulling apple's finger, and apple farting a bit and saying excellent. my friends response: the Palm what? or do they still exist? this is the general response i get from people in Europe and Asia. as far as i am concerned Palm is going the way of the dodo.

    i am betting on ibm racetrack memory. it doesn't matter what the price now is, IBM racetrack memory is around 10 times cheaper to produce (of course IBM is going to charge for it, but it's going to be cheaper than spinning disks)

    that's going to be too costly, flash is cheaper and easier to produce in huge volume. plus power=unstable, thus flash seems like a smarter choice stability wise.

    ssd's will probably end up being connected to a form of ram socket with an on-cpu controller (like system ram) in the future. eventually flash can be half as fast as system ram, so there is no real reason not to have it connected to the CPU.

    and make all the birds blind. we had a man in the neighborhood who had a white roof and it was filled with dead birds. birds fly towards white objects for some reason as if it's the sky, and splatter to death.
