Seeing as how they were generating projections of future debt based on estimated spending trends, I'd say there was a bit more than addition and subtraction involved.
We can't manage this planet. What makes anyone thing that we can manage a new one?
It is sad that the "space option" types - generally smart people - are not smart enough to see this. Or that they don't see the danger in thinking of our planet as disposable.
Depends on the actual hardware being compared. The important metric isn't raw power consumption, but FLOP/watt.
>> and provide greater performance than GPUs
Not if the algorithm can be (and is!) expressed in kernels that can be operated in a massively parallel fashion. Not even close.
However if you just want to run Plain Old Code... then yes the FPGA is going to dominate. Also if you are looking for super low latency, then FPGA is the way to go.
I guess my point is that you can't make such a blanket statement.
...learning Spanish would be far more useful for those of us who already don't speak Spanish.
And btw, many of us do, for those who like to hard on Americans not knowing a second language. (My Spanish is lame, but passable).
We have a cheap labor pool in Central America that will be picking up the slack once the Chinese workers become too expensive and the price of fuel rises enough... which it will soon.

Yeah, bust on one of the few states that is actually solvent.

End these goddamn wars. Now. Yank (har) every single American solider home.
Next on the list - pull out of Korea. South Korea can take the North pretty easily. No need for us to be involved.
After these savings are realized, we can start to look at other things.
nothing more.
Don't be silly. The US is far stronger both militarily and economically than China will be for at least a decade, maybe longer.
And China knows it.
Even after that decade has past... we'll still be able to reach out and ruin YOUR day.
Oh well hell, maybe we should get Obama playing Starcraft... or not. Goddamn idiot.
>> How would you create enough food for 10 billion people to consume without technology
I wouldn't, and a lot of people would die. But not all of us.
Of course it isn't the answer.

Earth already obtained a near perfect self sustaining state. Then we screwed it up.
We can have that again: Simply abandon our industry and technology.
Maybe it is our so called solutions that are the problem. Maybe there was never really a problem in the first place.
Interesting that you thing that... because I don't see either side willing to compromise.
You're only problem is your inability to realize you are just as fucked up as those on the far right.
Clearly you are not versed in your U.S. history.
This is nothing new.
It beats the hell out of fighting in the streets.
...are worried about the state of their LDAP servers.
Just kidding.
Become familiar with OLPC system administration and go help set up some school out in the bush.
PS - you sound like a hardworking chap with ethics. Keep that up. Don't listen to the douche bag who tells you to abandon your mortgage.
It is crap like that which got us into this mess in the first place.
Huge tech center. Among the highest per capita income in the nation... all built on taxes paid by the underemployed and the soon to be unemployed.
Silicon Valley makes their own bed. DC sleeps in the beds of others.
True, but make them go through the effort.
It is one more step, which when revealed in court, will help hang them.
What he did, regardless of his intent, was supply demand for this sort of imagery which perpetuates the trade.
Just don't try to use them against an adversary with decent subs.
In all fairness, a lot of the money is coming from Europe.
I am familiar with Proverbs but I don't recall that the Chinese were mentioned.
Carry on.

"For the new Maxeler system, it flattened the C++ code down to a Java code."

Post a bounty on slashdot, watch your drive fry.
It is possible to fingerprint encrypted traffic, even if you can't decrypt it.
But you asked about differences: destination, port, rate, traffic volume. To name a few.
