Strange that just recently we were discussing how the length of the day had changed by 3 microseconds (due to the Indonesian earthquake). In "Inherit The Wind" one of the key arguments was that a day could be of indeterminate length; 24 hours or 2 billion years.
First off, no I wasn't drunk. I rarely drink.
It's funny that this post appeared today.
I played FarCry yesterday for the first time in about a week, the first thing I noticed was how disorienting it was. After awhile you get used to the scrolling of the graphics as you sit there. I'm amazed that I can get used to it.
Today I woke up so incredibly dizzy I couldn't even sit up. It took me about twenty minutes to sit up. A slow walk to the shower, all the time not moving my head.
Some powdered ginger and sugar in water helped (read about it somewhere).
Was it the game? Hard to say.
Sure it's interesting, but useless. I'd rather hear about a planet that is actually able to support human-type life or even humnas. Not a gigantic ball of gas orbiting a compressed sun that would suck your fillings out of your head from 10 light years away.
For some reason when I read that I imagined the sound of Timpani drums, an experimental aircraft dropping from a B-52 and then a crash in the desert. After that a catchy salsa beat and a red and white track suit.
Caption under the picture of the OLED display on Chosun.com reads: "Samsung Electronics unveiled the world's largest 21-inch organic light emitting diode (OLED) display"
How can it be the world's largest 21-inch OLED display, aren't all 21-inch displays 21 inches?
I seem to recall them showing multiple Operating Systems running at the same time when the PowerPC was reviewed in magazines in the earyl 90's...I think. Didn't I? I'm sure I remember seeing a magazine article showing two windows with two OS'es running. Call me crazy.
Then again I remember when people said processors will get so fast (1GHz oooh) all devices will be virtual, no need for a modem just have a "virtual modem".
My Canadian brain was thinking 145 C ! Now that's hot coffee.
145 F = 62.8 C
It does sound interesting, I'd like to grab a coffee or a latte and have it heat on it's own. Just watch out and don't spill HOT COFFEE on your lap. The "HOT" part means it's HOT....and btw that's Celsius not Centigrade.
If each aparment is one entire floor, why not just walk to the other side of the apartment and look out the window? If there were two or more apartments on each floor I could see the point of having it rotate to give everyone an opportunity to view the scenery.
So it's just like a fancy RAID setup. Very Borg-like;)
What the advantage storage-wise? If it spreads the data across all the bricks wouldn't you lose a lot of storage space? I guess the point is ease of use.
The water cooling would be interesting to see, especially for the center Brick in a pile. That also defeats the purpose of ease of use if the center brick fails.
I don't have any experience with RAID. I'm too poor:(
Even if it did work any part of Canada under a missle strike in space would be where all the junk from the target missle would land. yeah that's a great plan! Blow up a nuke and have a dirty bomb land on our city instead. You're OK in Chicago? Oh...OK that's fine then.

It's not jargon if it's a word people use because they think it's the plural of a real word.
If you think "sheeps" means more than one sheep, it isn't jargon or a word, it's a mistake.

" Virii " isn't a word.
I'm stunned...knock me down with a feather :|

This is like people who share music. Isn't it amazing to be in a business where people want your product so much they risk going to jail to get it?
Good idea.
Only problem is it's like lead, it weighs about 60 pounds. Big shipping charge!
Does anyone want to buy my reel-to-reel tape machine? :P

Looks interesting though.
It sure would be nice if Wikipedia worked with Firefox.
"NASA's Deep Impact, a spacecraft named after the 1998 movie"
...and next year the "Preparation H" will probe an asteroid. It will be the first spacecraft in history entirely covered in latex.
Hasn't this been done before? Everyone praised it as a great idea but later it was found that it also added a, back door. Very sneaky.
What if the ASS was hit by an asteroid?
You (the US) already tried to name it, we (the world) now call it the ISS instead of...whatever you wanted to call it.

That's inhuman, how could anyone sell a Cricket Match board game!

Yeah PARC makes great things. I like the story of when Steve Jobs visited PARC and "stealing" the idea for the mouse.
btw both of my Fujitsu hard drives failed. Needless to say I never bought a third one. Fool me twice, shame on me!
