Great that we are finding new species! If we keep this up maybe we can replace the ones that are going extinct with these new ones. Besides, the other ones were getting old anyway.
"Just imagine, materials with 10 times the strength of steel and only a fraction of the weight; shrinking all the information at the Library of Congress into a device the size of a sugar cube; detecting cancerous tumors that are only a few cells in size. Some of these research goals will take 20 or more years to achieve. But that is why — precisely whythere is such a critical role for the federal government."
--Bill Clinton, 2000
Looks like his super impossible vision might be attained just a few years after proposing it
what I don't get about hawking radiation is why this effect would cause a black hole to evaporate.
From the descriptions it seems that these particles are being created spontanously outside the black hole, and one falls in. To me, that would mean that the black hole actually gains mass (one particle).
microscopic black holes...some of these black holes grow to form the center point of an entire galaxy.
but that wont happen at the hardon collider, because the black hole doesn't have any mass near it to grow. It's not like it's being created on a big rock or anything..
Well, if we use coal to build solar panels, we are slowly replacing coal with solar cells. Which should be worth it. The further down the road we go, the more power used to construct a solar panel will be coming from green sources.
Around eighty % is still incredible, not least when you have a competitor like AMD. But I guess companies like Intel do what they can to instill fear in their employees to get them to work harder.
Page 177. You are in the future. [Describes grim future]. You are affecting events around you which causes a collapse in time space. No longer will you be able to get back to your friends or save the planet from [insert name of evil man]. Game over.
Oh boy, those were the days!
Seriously though, they had some really cool sci-fi/fantasy in those books, pretty much as good as any conan book or similar.
..several Telecom firms are planning to introduce amazing new technology that allows the Internet to go through telephone lines. Also, in the distant horizon, talks are beginning to emerge about telephony itself going over telephone lines, and even an exciting new breakthrough called the telegraph has been mentioned.
I hate to see all these comments talking about how evolution mechanisms are failing in the modern world.
We can't escape natural selection, no matter how many pills and safety mechanisms we introduce into society.
Women just tend to become more and more picky with whom they mate. And while things like good eye sight become less important, other things take their place. Things like having lots of money, social skills/social network, an athletic body, cooking skills and so on.
Here in Europe, the number of babies born per adult keep falling. This means it is actually getting harder to reproduce than it was in a past, poorer Europe.

Please not ringtone cars. Please please please. It's ten years into the future and I can't stand it already.
...and hilarious.
I don't see it. Microsoft has been pretty successfull as a software-only company.
Sun on the other hand is getting bought up because they failed miserably with exactly that strategy.
Btw, this is the strategy that left Apple in the dust behind Intel and MS.
Ahhh China, leader in forced abortions and stem cell warehouses. Coincidence?
The blurb linked to the wrong sites. It's almost insulting.
As a computer programmer, I say he needs a good anti-psychotic.

Kill him. Blow him up with a bomb. Genocide all who think like him.
natural selection is always at work. It might be less brutal now, but it's still there.
how cool will that be? Hunh? I dare you to come up with something even more techno-hip than that, because both you and I know it's impossible.
Everyone who thinks this won't happen, mod me up.
Thank you.

Did americans evolve? No, say humans.

DNF has been in production all this time. This is nothing new.
