That photo IS a silicon wafer. For those of you that don't know, that's what gets cut up in to squares to make CPU's. Also, the SEPP cartridge hasn't been edited very well.
So while it's a good hoax, the average/.er will pick up the anomalies very quickly where as your "low-grade moron" might just go... "Ohhhh that's sooo cool!".

What I was implying is that when it's a consumer item - when people like Sony jump on the bandwagon - the price becomes reasonable as the competition for the consumer buck heightens. Just look at what happend in the console market. Consumer product dominated by Nintendo, along come Sony and their neat little playstation, bang. Market leader and reasonable prices across the board. The same happens in every electronic fad that makes it to consumer land.
You're obviously just looking for a reaction. I think a little misguided comments are going to get you in hot water.
For starters, how much do you thing nanotech immortality injections would cost? Then think how many people with an IQ of seventy could afford it? I'm sure it's less than your billion.
One other thing. We wouldn't be immune to everything. computers do get infections too you know, just ask Symantec or Dr. Solomon. Imagine the viruses malicious people could write to make you life giving nanotech, take it from you.
Totally agree. Evil Dead was just a crappy horror movie that looked funny, whereas the two sequels were supposed to be horror comedies and achieved their goals

Also, I have no clue about the shock absorption. What does your everyday pothole do? How about your typical train tracks?
Just to let you in on shock, An ejection seat in a fighter plane, which is essentially a rocket up your clacker, will do 60G's for half a second. A pot hole is going to be far less than the maximum allowed. The problem will be with repeated oscillations (constant banging up and down). This will seriously affect the ability to play music off any medium except solid state (memory cards etc.) Therefore train tracks are less likely to cause a problem than say a long corrugated road.
Anyone have any clue what import and taxation fees would be included?
None, customs would charge you sales tax when it entered the country, and low volumes are exempt on import duty.
I really want one of these, but I'm gonna wait another year, and see if some better stuff comes along (instead of just the first ones), and hopefully prices will become more reasonable, too.
You said it. When Sony start making them, then I'll buy one.
As for zero state energy, I don't understand how you propose to perform useful work without an energy sink.
Refer (A) and (B) above
It's only a theory it you checked the site the link is pointing to.
BTW, what primary source would you calss alcohol coming from? You have to grow corn (solar) then distill it with heat (oil or solar?) before you can blow the stuff up (in a combustion chamber).
Well the officials have decided to maybe prosecute the parents for not reporting their boys but for me, "it's too lttle, too late", "The damage is done" and all the other cheap quotes.
I know what you guys are all saying, and how you all felt at school. I made it through, and now I'm the richest 22 year old I know, work in a slack arse job (spend 30% of BH on 'net), get paid thousands a month and have ultimately a great life.
I have all the sympathy in the world for anyone who was victimised at school, but none for those two boys. Life 'aint that bad. If it is, like pinko says, "get your parents down, and take a lawyer". Heads can roll, but blood can not be spilt. That's what should happen to the parents. They fscked up and I think they know it. The state department just has to prove it.
I remember reading somewhere that zero state energy is by far the most powerful and portable, but like matter/antimatter, you just have to find out:
a) How do we get the stuff, and; b) How do we harness the energy.
With Zero state energy, there is enough (theoretically) in one cubic centimetre (thats about a 1/16 of a cubic inch for you Americans living in the non-decimal world) to boil the worlds oceans.
I've crashed my mates Playstation before playing Colin McRae Rally, (excellent game), but it's the way in which these things are handled that makes them look like they haven't crashed.
A PC on the other hand will, if you're running Windows, "Blue Screen" you because the OS doesn't know how to handle "fatal exception 0x101" or whatever. The consoles don't have an OS as such and are usually programed to forget the exception or whatever and just discard that process. This will usually dump you back at some part of the game, less what you've just done. In some cases though, as I found, the thing will really crash and just hang there 'til you press the 'master reset'.
Try typing really fast to either e-mail or post and lot of the time you just don't notice that you spealt someting wrong, nor do you really give a shit. Those who read it know what you're talking about.
I think all you previous commenters have missed the point. PSX2 is still R&D so specs demoed are likely to be final release specs.
And who gives a rats bum if PAL is better than NTSC, even if it is. HDTV will and is here and if you read the comments from the Sony dudes, they plan to support it.
The final spec is boasting a 60 million+ polygon rate and a 14 million+ 3D polygon fill rate at a full 25fps. This said, and judging by the pictures will give close-to-life-like real-time pictures, scenes, characters, you name it.
Remember back in '93 when this great invention, 'Virtual Reality' was released? It looked shit, played shit, and cost a fortune. VR ran at a mere 1 million polys and a 1/4 of that fill at less than 15fps.
What Sony aim to deliver, is a fantastic, full featured product at the consumer level, and hopefully at a consumer price. Whichever, It will not replace the PC, (ever tried to so much write a letter on a console let alone program a CAD/CAM process), and I'll still have both.
Do I recall a Mr Muth mouthing off about how Linux was shit because there were no "shrink wrapped applications" available for it. If Microsoft were going to churn out their bug ridden "shrink wrapped" products for Linux, he'd be eating his words with some humbe pie.
I think the PSX2 will be geared up for some pretty heavyweight VR pictures. It may come out with a goggle set for VR but at $2500+ it's not exactly a consumer item, and therefore unlikely.
How could you measure the bandwidth of a nerve fibre? I imagine it's like optic fibre only smaller, and therefore only able to cary a '1 bit' signal at some 'speed' that would be close to light speed, considering there is bugger all time delay in making a neuronic desicion and the movement happening.
If you really want to know, call your local university or brain research center and just ask.
I got an AVI zipped (13Mb) an it was fine. (Love that T1 at work) and every one in the office didn't have a problem. You probably have a crappy old machine that should have been retired years ago.

So go build something to specifically beat it...
Problem is, you'd have to get to the final. All-round performance is what wins, not specific attacks.
Something to do with that #3 on your comment.

I just downloaded The Brain -- It rocks!
It craps on any org chart or heirachial thing I've come accross
It also makes mention of the source being a tiny 34K. That's pretty neat code for a desktop zooming function.
And BTW, the parent posts are all excellent replys to the previous 10 (with some exceptions)who obviously only read the blerb.
Or even better, swappable event horizons, like switching between desktops...cool.

A cubic centimeter is a volume you tosser. It's one mililiter (mL) or 1/16 of a ci. As said above
Oh, so well said.
You obvouisly had a decent education
