    stress matters a bit especially in extremes but its guaranteed nowhere near a linear relationship. for example sufferers of debilitating diseases are vulnerable to depression related illnesses by being unable to pursue their previous interests. its impressive that hawking can be stimulated by almost purely mental work.

  8. Re:It seems good on Reaction To Diablo 3's Always-Online Requirement · · Score: 1

    I can simulate playing single and multi player with the same characters, all I have to do is make a multiplayer game and play by myself. There's no advantage. Having to be constantly online is a restriction not a trade off.

  16. Re:Don't see what the fuss is all about on Google-Backed Wind-Powered Car Goes Faster Than the Wind · · Score: 1

  21. Re:One thing missing though: on Titanium Oxide For High-Density Optical Storage · · Score: 1

    Perhaps a bit like bubble memory. Better than existing solutions of its type in its time such as core, but that kind of storage was nearing its end because of hard disks. This time it's optical discs that are getting old, being replaced by cheap flash drives.

  22. Re:Very bad on Patents On Synthetic Life "Extremely Damaging" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's actually a decent point; under this, would a sentient robot have to pay for access to it's own genome, for reproduction or otherwise?
