From the article:
"Such a grid would share or combine diverse computer memories and software in parallel processes to aid environmental modeling, fast analysis of satellite images, advanced chip design and simulation of heavy-duty equipment like turbines."
I think it's interesting how when one nuclear agressive country imports Playstation 2's we freak the fuck out, but when another nuclear agressive country creates the worlds largest supercomputing grid we say, Bravo!
I could be way off base here, but after playing GTA3 for numerous hours and then getting in my car, I tend to believe that some with less willpowermight find it hard to control themselves.

I'd have to say the DJ is over-rated as hell.
You can scream all you want about the subtleties of reacting to a crowd, but frankly, thats not music-making. Its still playing other peoples songs and taking credit for them. But I digress.

And so suicide is just a person reaching their innate potential?
Your argument is deeply flawed.
One cannot make proclamations like "Depression is, in general, not a bad thing... to function properly in society, most people need to overcome depression without assistance" without understanding the etiology of depression. Our current macroscopic, integrative understanding of the brain is so lacking that it may be a while before we can conclude what causes depression, whether it is a pathology or not, and where the line betweeen fluctuations in personality and pathological brain function exists.
In other words, the issue is much too complicated and sensitive to talk out of your ass like that.
(I find it best to at least familiarize oneself with an issue before claiming someones suffering is somehow a Good Thing)
Theories are theories and our best theories are Our Best Theories. Don't blame science for shattering yesterdays Best Theories and don't misattribute the popular misconception of Truth vs. Theory to the few that actually understand what Truth and Theory are.
This is correct I was referring only to encryption passkeys or passphrases, i.e., they cant compell you to tell them your password (so keep it in your head).
In the US at least, law enforcement cannot "force you to give up passwords to your "secure" files." IIRC, some sort of legal document called the Bill of Rights, i.e., Amendment 5, protects a citizen from self incrimination. The 5th Amendment protects us from having to give up encryption keys. This is a fact (well, now at least). Of course, IANAL, (yet)
No you would not. Well don't leave your encryption keys on your computer then. Perhaps a device mentioned here before would be quite the security solution. Keep your encryption key on the same keyring as your hax0r house keys. (And it will be nice to see them try and jimmy the locks of an 8MB key!)
This is clearly another spectacular advance in the quantum computing field, as now we can adequatly clean the quantum monitor and quantum desktop without worrying about leaving streaks.
Hoorah for technology!
On a darker note, this is potentially very bad. Does not the US military use the global positioning system in tactical weapons guidance systems? I'd looove that to malfunction:(
One of the most interesting scientific minds in the modern era, Dr. John C. Lilly, is also the pre-eminent researcher on dolphin interspecial communication. The inventor of the Sensory Deprivation tank, the inspiration for the films Day of the Dolphin and Altered States, as well as one of the first researchers into the therapeutic potential of LSD and Ketamine, this man is quite a character. Interested parties are directed to certain bios.
I've always wondered about the strength of the GPL. More particularly, though, if Big Money wants to use GPL'd code in their product, who exactly is going to step into the ring to fight their hordes of lawyers? Their power to bankrupt through extended litigation is not to be underestimated.
How can copy protection possibly be incorporated in hard drives? I can see the gaggle of assembly coders pecking away nightly on the open source file system that will nullify this. What an exercise in futility!
The products website might dispel some of the design misconceptions that are being had as a result of that one picture. Based on the further info from their page, the design looks actually somewhat useful.
Consiousness(TM)
A dynamic, embedded Operating System (OS) for use in certain high order biological organisms (humans). The OS will be resident in the interconnections of a mass of simple logical processors (neurons). When fully installed in the appropriate mammalian wet-ware, I/O will be fully integrated and processed on-the-fly to create an illusion of continuity to the packeted information actually processed.
The system further analyzes input and derives a highly variable, hyper-individual, Thought(TM) to be perceived by the "desktop" facet of the OS, known as I(TM).
Any similar products or attempts at reproductions of this novel patent will be (obviously) prosecuted and sytematically eliminated. Start Paying.

Ah well, such is life.

The game is just too damn fun.

DoSbSASE:
Denial of Service by Self-Addressed Stamped Envelopes.
For god sakes think of the mailman.
Of course the GNU is unenforcable... its not even unix!
Wait...GPL? What the hell is that?
never let the facts get in the way of reporting.
Also to be noted, 31337 occurs at the palindromic position 12022021.
1337 indeed.

(and in reference to the subject line, See: Godel's Incompleteness Theorem
I can think of a half a dozen good reasons why this is a bad idea:
My diabetes chip would get r00ted. I'd die.
WinBE (biological entity) would gpf. I'd die.
Open source bio chips would take too long to be released. I'd die.
Only the 15th patch will be able to support life. Dead.
Chinese build EMP weapon. Dead again.
Some asshole builds EMP weapon. you get the point.
I'm not even going to get into that can of worms that are raves.

Which falls out of the sky first: Mir or the Global Positioning System?
not bad
