  1. Re:Yea ok on Mars Rover Opportunity Turns 8 · · Score: 2

    2) Are we really that proud that something we built lasted 8 years? that's like the breaking in period for a diesel Mercedes with far more (actual, not shipping) miles on it

    Mars is a harsh mistress...

    And hence why i do not and cannot respect him.. Either you believe in free information or not. Hes holding secrets for political gain, jsut like anyone else in the game.

    O come on, the man might spend the rest of his life in gitmo and you don't respect him for being smart enough to hold something back just in case? What the hell would you do different? O right, you'd never personally stick your neck out to begin with... Seriously just shut your pie hole, you're embarrassing yourself.

    Twenty? I'd say 5 to 10. Problem is that on an international scale there is very little that comes out of the US that isn't via Asia. Let em see .... Film and TV, Music ..... And yeah not a hell of a lot more.

    What it will boil down to is free trade agreements the more they become redundant the quicker the US will fall prey.

    Relatively speaking, core performance growth has slowed down drastically. Most of your integer based logic and math have a throughput and latency of 1 cycle. Hard to get much lower than 1 cycle. The only real advancements in speeds are multi-cycle instructions, and most of those are SIMD now.
