If everything in the movie really is a part of a dream and we never really saw reality then you can't trust the facts presented by the movie, they are at best completely inconsistent, and more likely completely imaginary. Cobb in reality could really not have a wife or kids--He could be a middle aged woman in Baltimore. The only thing we can take away from the last sequence is "What is imaginary and what is real?" as the movie emphasizes over and over again.
As soon as a flow-based router services more than 1000 machines (in either direction, ie. 100 clients communicating with 900 internet hosts = 1000 machines serviced), it's performance will fail to keep up with a packet-based router. That's not a lot. If a single client torrents or p2p's you will hit this limit easily, resulting in slower performance. 2000 machines and packet-based switching is double as efficient.
Where did you get these numbers from? In the article they claim their device can do a whole lot more then that.
Since the demand for HMD's for consumers has been dead for like 10 years there isn't really anything affordable. There are however a lot top end HMD's that are way cool. This company makes a high resolution HMD (4200x2400) with a 180 degree field of view.
I dont have any numbers but it seams a lot of those people have come from california...which has a pretty good mormon population of it's own. However it seams to me the the mormon population has gone down in the last decade or so.
I've been into DIY jet engines based on turbo chargers for a while, the guy was using the propane tank in a cooler to cool his beer. The jet engine really had nothing to do with the cooling of the beer.
Those engines suck propane so fast, that the evaporation in the tank makes then cool down to negative temperatures.
My dell with a 1ghz tualatin and radeon 7500 64meg DDR does ~130fps in 1024x768 normal mode.
the 1.2ghz tualatin is even slighty faster, and these arn't even the newest cpus.

The p2p systems of transfering mp3s puts the cost onto the users for BW.
I would be willing to bet that a large chunk of mp3s downloaded were singles at the time when they were downloaded. Talk about a system, the users taking on the cost to hear YOUR single!
well, I believe ( -- and thereby not a "logical" argument.) that since we as humans are the only beings that are capible of knowing what ourselfs are, that we are inherently different creatures then animals. Even studies have shown (and by no means justifying what happen on corporate meat farms) that animals do not even feal pain in the sense that humans feal pain.
Animals feal pain on the most instictual level that something is wrong. That is about it. A human actually has mental reactions to wounds, even a baby who hits their head will throw a fit, and huge portions of their brain (The same area's that that 'glow' with joy) will fire. Just from the studies I have read. (I'm trying to find some linkage) Animal's are as linear as a computer, they are mearly a machine. Where a human has depth and soul to them.
Everything in life I make a decision, and more and more things I take in moderation. I dont think putting humans in the same catagory as animals is as black and white as alot of people imagine it.
It doesn't mean that I dont respect nor love animals and nature. quite the opposite actually.
I can see your point of being a "libertarian", but I disagree that animals and humans (which are commonly refered as two seperate entities in this way) are on the same level. Humans are superior to every species on this earth. There is a reason we are on top of the food chain.
I believe in free knowadge, and choice. Give people the liberty to do anything they want. Then teach them to make the best choices.
People giving themselves to a system will always work better then people being forced into it.
On a side note, I do eat meat, but only in moderation. I do not believe in hunting for entertainment, or the excessive meat eating like the average American (Its their choice though, inform them why its bad)
That is a statistic that sites yearly pollution. Since there are much more cars on the road used then buses, of course the majority of pollution every year comes from cars.
If you were to convert all transit into using buses instead of cars, you would see an increase of pollution multitudes over cars. Especially compared against modern low emissions and zero emissions vehicals.
Not that I disagree with a rollout of clean public transportation. It would probably much easier to get our transportation needs in the future clean by going that route instead of replacing 200 million cars.
true, but I think what he was trying to say that even web browsing can be sped up due to proxy use. Otherwise every single image or whatever on a page needs to get a request.
With a proxy, it sends the whole request for the page, and sends the whole thing back. So instead of making say 12 connections and transfers at 700ms ping time, it makes one, thereby saving time for each seperate transfer.
heres a wierd question...Why dont they put some sort of optical controller and coupler between chips? The core of a fiber is small and I'm sure it would be easier and cheeper to 'cast' that into a motherboard then the X layers of X many connections they now have everywhere.
The sockets would just be some pins to hold the cpu in place and to power it, then the motherboard and silicon would have couplers that would be cast into both of them that would click into one another. I would think the trade off in transistors to add something like that, or to change the system interface part of the cpu would be well worth it.
On AMD's point to point bus it could make profound differences in being able to build multiprocessor systems.
As the saying goes though. Experts see few answers, and beginner's see many. Maybe I'm missing something?

Yarrrrr, he be drivin me nuts.

Thats a very insightful. This should be moderated up.

ahahahaha
thats funny.
Thats a very good analogy.
Someone moderate this guy up!

gentoo 1.3b took like 30 hours on an athlon 1900+
GCC3 is _slow_
but much more optimised (Mmmmm, floating point using SSE)
the system literally boots and runs twice as fast as my debian install
You could have been hearing a harmonic frequency generated by the amp.
I had the same problem when I was trying to pump about ~26khz into a flask for a sonoluminescence expirement I did in HS.

You ever seen an eclipse.........ON WEED?!?
wow, Netcaptor is exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
you wouldn't happen to have any links to these 3rd party programs?
I've been using tab browsing with mozilla for a while now, but under windows I still use IE.
