It's a shame the US is more civilized than Russia or we'd just bomb them, take it over, and have 51 states. Then probably hit North Korea and Syria and every other complete asshole country where the government terrorizes and kills their own people.
So one infected computer talks to another via this method and the other computer is infected with code that interprets it. How about just use the malicious code on the 2nd computer to do whatever you were going to do with it? For network transmission, obviously just use encryption or a web server in the middle or something.
They should have checked on their brand image first. They make the worst laptops with the highest failure rates on anyone's scale. They are dead last in support satisfaction. Their PCs have a similar failure rate as well. I wouldn't buy a magical wish-granting lamp from them even if they proved it worked as long as it had an HP sticker on it.
Everyone is looking at this all wrong. When a species is sufficiently evolved, it loses its motivation to either live or reproduce. A 2nd option is personal power of any individual increases with technology until one person can annihilate an entire planet purposely or on accident. The level of power it would take to travel faster than light be bending space would destroy a planet. A 3rd option is that technology or pharmaceuticals can basically make a safe version of meth where it triggers the brain's happiness receptors and then all motivation to do anything else fails and the species dies off. Considering that all of those 3 are incredibly likely, that explains why all the alien races are dead.
Maaaaaaaaybe they should change their corporate image from "trashy and unprofessional sexist pigs and perverts" to something that, oh I don't know, maybe business might find attractive. You know, businesses...the people that buy things from them. They're not selling Mountain Dew and tacos, they're selling professional IT services!
You mean if just about 100% of Americans are behind an idea and then someone funds that idea and puts up a candidate that stands for that idea and will actually do something about it in elected, then people fund it like crazy? What a concept! I mean seriously, all the people in office right now that are thinking they can do anything they want like vote for more NSA surveillance or openly take bribes from companies for net neutrality votes need a big, fat YOU'RE FIRED from the voters. That will remind them what's really what.
I never looked into it because if it's not on a PC, I'm not interested, but what the hell? They released the #1 game of all time on outdated systems and it doesn't run on the new ones? Why didn't they just spend their hundreds of millions hiring people to stand outside Gamestop with a sign that says "don't buy the PS4 or Xbox One." It'd probably do slightly less damage to console sales than what they actually did. I know, I know, development times and hardware availability and SDK release dates and blah blah blah. That's why they should have just made it for the PC in the first place.
Make him speak Spanish and make sure all the judges only speak Norwegian. See, you can cheat it. But anyway, they should be disqualified for the age. 13 year olds are predictable, quite dumb, and easy to imitate. To be more scientific, between approx age 10 and 18, your brain doubles in its overall processing power and in the middle, your frontal lobe can't process logical decisions very well. That's quite a cover story for an AI to pretend to be a human.
Net neutrality always seemed so one sided unless you have an imagination like mine and apparently Netflix's. It's always stated as "demand money and there's nothing they can do about being throttled." Yeah, except you're the content provider and you can send whatever messages you want on-screen, in an e-mail, etc. One little "if you want better quality and buffering speed, switch to someone other than Verizon" message and suddenly Verizon is the one losing millions.
Whoever wrote this doesn't know China. They will simply lie about it. Lie, cheat, steal, and copy - those are the 4 cornerstones of any successful Chinese business.
A robot will do whatever I program it to do. If I accidentally tell it to self-preserve and let it write its own code then don't protect the "don't kill humans" part, it may kill everyone. That's simple programming logic. So calling it Sci-fi is completely misinformed.
"The news report also said that T-mobile will give up 67% share in exchange of 15% share of the merged company"
Can someone explain that to me? They're giving up a 67% share in a company that's about to not exist in order to have a 15% share in a company that is about to be themselves that they'd effectively own 100% of, because it is them.
No, it would keep going forever. That's how space works. That's how the Voyager proves work. That's how comets work. Without something to stop it, it keeps going.
You're badly mistaken. Space appears to be 3 dimensional and it bends around massive objects. Why people think it's a 2 dimensional plane that bends around massive objects is because that's the common graphical representation because humans are stupid and can't conceptualize bend 3D space because it implies a 4th dimension of "bendedness." But that absolutely is how it works in reality. A recent slashdot article talked about how they proved once and for all through tests that space is not "like a bowling ball on a trampoline" as the saying goes and that it does not act 2 dimensional in any way at all.
I never believed them in the first place. When I couldn't get my math equations to add up in school, I couldn't blame it on some made up thing and then get a history channel special on it. But what gets on TV these days, a biography of King Tut or a show about how King Tut was an alien?
We already proved what dark energy is. Dark energy is the force generated from scientists who were not getting their math homework to add up which pulls on additional grants and funding by making things up like dark matter and dark energy.
Because they said matter can travel faster than light. That's all the further you need to read to know the author is an idiot. Even if space is expanding and the matter is moving farther away and the net of the two is faster than light from a distance measurement perspective, what's the accelerating force? You can't speed something up without saying what the force behind it is. That's mysteriously missing from the article....because it's 100% bullshit.
Ignored as even a remote possibility as the author labels it sci-fi fantasy.
We can always hope that some type of controlled wormhole, or spacetime-bending faster-than-light travel can save us, but there’s no evidence that such an innovation—despite our best science fiction dreams—can ever be practically realized.
How open-minded and hopeful the author is...
Not open minded? They said stars are traveling away from us faster than the speed of light. That's so open minded, I think they dropped their brain somewhere along the way, obviously prior to writing this article.
By the way, we have mathematically sound models of black holes bending space and time...and planets, and individual atoms...in fact that's how gravity works.
We can bend space already dude. It's called mass, gravity, and movement. You know, gravity bends space itself and moving that mass at a high speed dilates time because of the bending of space? It's proven already.
But you're forgetting that the author just said there stars and planets right now are flying around at faster than the speed of light so don't worry, apparently the speed of light is bullshit and you can go as fast as you want. Seriously, who approved this pile of uninformed science fantasy bullshit article?
"We can always hope that some type of controlled wormhole, or spacetime-bending faster-than-light travel can save us, but there’s no evidence that such an innovation—despite our best science fiction dreams—can ever be practically realized"
Okay, let's break that down. Nobody can travel faster than the speed of light except for 30% of the universe that's already traveling faster than the speed of light, according to this idiot author. Then "no evidence?" Really, no evidence that we can bend space? We discovered this thing called gravity that bends space. There are mathematically sound theories of how black holes bend and compress space or fold it or punch through it. There's this other thing that bends space that we invented called "moving." If you do a lot of it, you dilate time and bend space. We've pretty much proven the existence of higher dimensions as well.
In fact, I already invented faster than light travel. Pretend we're on a planet on the opposite side of the universe. From their perspective, we're moving away faster than the speed of light. So I, right now as I sit here typing this, am violating the laws of physics and traveling faster than the speed of light. Maybe I'll get some kind of nobel prize! Yay! This moronic author certainly won't. Maybe a literary award for science fiction.

You're right, they'll just stop making devices for 10 years while they develop a new chip from scratch. Oh wait, no, you're wrong.

Servios sounds like browser malware. In fact, I'm not sure that's it's not. How is that more attractive and descriptive than "project holodeck?"

It's actually science fiction since not a word of it is true or based on real science.
