Whatever the reason, anything that implies that "homeopaths, Chinese doctors, nutritionists and spiritual healers" do anything that comes close to curing cancer should never, ever be written. Such crap only gets in the way of real medicine and gives false hope. It also serves to line con artists' pockets with cash from gullible people.
Small detail: the SNES could use extra processors for stuff like crude 3D (Star Fox), Sprite manipulations (Yoshi's Island), Sprite decompression (Donkey Kong Country) or just general processing tasks.
I don't see Nintendo creating some processor that fits inside a blu-ray, is powered by the spin and manipulates the disc's content in a certain area to communicate. Epically cool, yes, feasible, no.
That's pure crap, except for the absolute amount memory. While Power is crap when compared with x86, the processors inside the Wii, Wii U, 360 and PS3 are still way ahead of any ARM design. Same goes for GPUs. RAM bandwidth is much higher than on any SoC.
How, exactly, do you suggest that be done? Allow the sick and injured, as well as students access to healthcare or education on the other side of the border? I think they've even tried that once or twice.
I'm not saying they deserve what is happening (nobody does), but they're not really doing much against it. If they're serious about peace, they would really make a difference by
a) getting rid of Hamas or allowing Israel to do so,
b) getting rid of the "Israel is the aggressor" mentality, since it was the Arabs who started the whole business right after Israel was founded.
The moment you attack someone with the intention of wiping that someone out, it's only fair that that someone keeps whatever they conquer from your territory.
Hell, they can keep hating Israel all they want, they won't accomplish anything beyond more casualties on both sides (probably tending towards the Arab side). It's a pity most regimes in that area put little value on average Joe's life.
Interesting, certainly not what I'd heard. Well, my first point still stands - guided rockets will pretty much piss everyone off just enough to finally motivate a few people to get rid of the current regime in Iran.
So I guess the NT Kernel is self-aware. Same goes for Linux, I presume. Cue Apple marketing OS X crashes as it being self-aware and magically resetting itself to a safe state.
So, "a real fucking tablet" is a device that is worthless for anything where you're doing more than reading the news, playing games or watching videos of cats on the internet?
Real missiles are very different when it comes to handling them. Blowing them up over your territory isn't good enough, if it's a nuke you'll still get a lot of fallout at best, devastation at worst. They're also much bigger (which makes them easier to detect and track initially) and faster (which makes them hard to intercept).
While the experience gained from systems on this scale would be beneficial, it is not enough if you want to intercept ICBMs.
Don't forget that MAD doesn't involve ICBMs only. There are still plenty of nukes to go around for an assortment of aircraft to deliver. Sub-launched missiles would also be harder to detect, unless you're tracking every single enemy sub.
It's trickier than it sounds. For one, you need good radar to pick those things up and accurately track them. You need to track it long enough to know its trajectory, but not so long that you are left with no time to respond. Then, you have to get your missile to the rocket, correcting for Wind and a possible new trajectory (we are talking about crude rockets, so they can't be too stable).
The moment they start using guided missiles, you can bet Iran and co. will be moved to the top of the list of bombing targets. It's hard to prove that a crummy hand-made rocket was made with help from someone else, but it's easy to prove that a large rocket came from somewhere else. Not to mention that it's hard to smuggle something of the size into Gaza.

They also happen to be the ones using civilians as human shields.
The Nazis were the only ones who provided schools and hospitals in Germany from 1933 to 1945, too.
The moment they decide to get rid of Hamas, you can bet everyone will suddenly like them a bit more.

So someone forgot that 1/10 can't be represented in base 2? And the system was designed with the implicit need to be rebooted every so often?
In other words, somebody rushed an adaption of a system where the original shortcomings were not as meaningful...
Last time they tried it, a couple of guys wound up dead.
Anything with Ultrabook (maybe even Netbook) hardware is capable of being more than a tablet.
That means Windows (not RT), or maybe a suitable Linux distro in more limited cases.
So the Soviet Union was the aggressor against Nazi Germany?
If your neighbors were madmen who wish your death above all else, wouldn't you barge in and show them who's boss, if you could?
It's not necessarily right, but it's understandable, unlike the pure hatred coming from the other side.
The really interesting part is that high-end (and I mean high-end - multiple GPUs for instance) systems still use about that much power.

Well, Oprah does give out free stuff like the people in the studio had just survived an epic voyage.

Bad Pentium FPUs?
Hamas is lucky if they can keep a steady supply of rockets. WMDs are definitely not an issue inside that place.

Heavy-handed? Try showing restraint when your backyard is being targeted by rockets.

He's coming from Vista - can you really blame him?
Red means you're seeing the future.
The N64 was definitely cutting edge, but hard to program and limited by its cartridges.
