I might actually miss what you are arguing over: But what is the difference between a website managing to get your computer to run as a part of a botnet via javascript, and doing the same thing over WebGL? In both cases you are doing something unintended, and in both cases the "security layer" will be only the browser. One could also argue that the CPU is also fundamentally unsecure, because it can run code........... But then again, I am just skimming(and a bit tired too), so I might have missed the entire point.
So it is like when economic bubbles happen, or when you buy cheap food in order to kill yourself? Gotta love it when silly short term economics comes in the way of proper progress.
I did my 10 minute presentation about GM food last year. The conclusion I arrived at was that there are 2 rules: 1. Does your country have a proper food administration agency? 2. Is the food specifically designed to allow them to be sprayed with more anti-blight spray? If 1 is true, and 2 is false, then there is nothing to even fear for the consumer. Now.... if you are living in USA however i feel quite sorry for you.
I don't get it. If the problem is internal bandwith, the latest and greatest wireless standards should suffice. If it is the actual LAN part, then everything is still behind a router so it is the same regardless. If its the noise, frankly there are already solutions to that, like using a light instead of waves.
I am not exactly sure. There has been a lot of times where a email or a phonecall to a doctor would have saved me a lot of time, because there was no examination. What I find really weird was that when a doctor prescribed me something, and said that I should come asking for me, he never gave me a email to send a request for more, or a phone number, or even asked if he could call me in X amount of time to see if I needed more. Do mind that I live rural, the doctors office is in the neighbor village, so it is a large mess to get there. The question is then: Why not change the system so that I call the doctor, we chat, and then we can figure out if we need a appointment in order to figure out more....
PS: I live in Norway, so yeah.... a "village" is 2000-3000 people spread over a very large area, with some sort of center. It is by no means a city, or even resembling a city.
You are just looking at the wrong placed, grasping wrong straws. Basically it draws 700mW if you are running something on Xbox level gfx(lets say.... Doom 3?), or if you are running a 1080p video. This has been possible for quite some time.
No, from the article i got the idea was: 1. Split password into 2 pieces, a normal password and a captcha part 2. Now if you bruteforce, you could miss on the second part, meaning bruteforcing will just take a bit more time Meaning that "standard bruteforce" is still valid.
Don't forget that if you use glasses, you WILL get a headache, or if you move from glasses towards lenses. Your brain is not just used to the 3D, but the same can be said for newly adopted glasses.
"City planning". Read the word, please. It implies that you put up a reasonable plan, reasonable investment, predict the future, and then do it. Chicago got the way it is over quite some time, having some council who KNOWS what they are doing sit down and do a few regulations and change those every few years to plan a good way of expanding the city could have solved quite a lot of problems. 6 times the people does not imply 6 times the area either.
So why are none of these companies submitting a draft to openGL where they remove most of the overhead and stupidity in the API that causes slowdowns? If I want to make a game, I won't do anything "close to the metal", because that would mean coding for each spesific hardware architecture, which means the system breaks the moment something else is used. While has gotten better in the years(Read: A lot of CPU and GPU manifactures has died for the mainstream), the problem is still present.
Another problem: 50 companies work on attempting to get a technological breakthrough. One of them managed to get the breakthrough. They now patent the method, which by proxy blocks of all the 49 other groups. If they had submitted the patent perhaps a year later, several other companies would have made the same breakthrough independently. Why would they block the marked? There can only be a certain number of ways of doing stuff when we are talking about the same field, and when the start and end point is the same perhaps 1 or 2 more companies will make a different breakthrough. But still, the issue remains: We have 47 companies blocked out by a monopoly created by patents. Acknowledging original inventor and all that is good, but we should not need a potential monopoly enforcing tool to do it. Patents original idea was to make sure that nobody would deny research to other by keeping trade secrets on technological breakthroughs, and it worked. But it stopped working after some point, and the issue is becoming more glaring by the day. To others: The problem of patents is obvious when the US accept and allow software patents, because it is used to block of the entire marked for fun and profit.
I think you have a warped view on reality. Just adding better materials for the screen, and some other nifty "tricks" would do a lot. But hey, lets ignore battery life and my entire comment.... So where is this 200$ netbook which has equal build quality(if i do not drop it) and has the the same spescs and better battery life? Hint: It does not exist until you link it.
Here is a trick question: Give me a few laptop series, same or better battery life, that has the same or better build quality, the same or better specifications and equal or better trackpad. Here is a hint: You can't, if it has better battery life it also has poorer spesifications and poorer build quality. If it has better specs, it either has a worse screen, or it lacks the trackpad or it lacks the batterylife. All the "roughly equal" laptops are pricer HIGHER then Apples, if it identical in spec, then it is more expensive, and it often lacks vital components such as proper build quality. Apple is not overpriced for a simple reason: You can not get anything that is 100% equal or better than a Macbookpro CHEAPER from anybody else. Unless you prove me wrong. Please prove me wrong.

Considering that the Fukishima plant is a worst case scenario, you got nothing to fear, so yeah....
I don't get it.

Well, It indeed silly. What is stopping us from just doing normal bruteforce?

So well written *sniffle*
Someone mod up!
Benchmark to back the claim up?
Besides, ARM do not suffer some of the insane x86 problems.
Amen to that.
13.03.11 is a fine date, but the day of the Pi is still some years away.

Alienware laptop, completely alone in 12 inch gaming laptop segment.......... :(
But what about in 15 inch laptops then? Battery life?
I think you have a warped view on reality.
Just adding better materials for the screen, and some other nifty "tricks" would do a lot.
But hey, lets ignore battery life and my entire comment....
So where is this 200$ netbook which has equal build quality(if i do not drop it) and has the the same spescs and better battery life?

Not again :(

Please prove me wrong.
Nevermind price: When can I get one of those to put in my Wiimote?
Ain't that just nitpicking?
Then signing 50.000$ is lieing, because research is still research.
Considering that RedHat sells premium support, I don't see the problem.
And what about the tight cities?
Comeon, the guy is right, or am I missing something here?
