Fuck asus and their promises. I have their router that is suppose to support an external HD and bittorrent. Well gues what? It works like shit, it works so bad it is completely useless. Connect a HD to the router? All your files will be acessible from the outside via an anonymous FTP connection. NO FUCKING WAY TO TURN IT OFF. Also be prepared for the router to completely stop responding at random times if it has a HD connected. Every torrent I tried to download never even started downloading. They just sat there.
Tell me how many innovative companies or products are trully innovative? There were plenty of mp3 players before iPod arrived, there were search companies before google. Very few ideas are truly innovative. Most are just improvements over old ideas or finding new ways to use something.
It created it's own user profile and is ignoring my old one. Now I have to re-enter all my passwords to sites, import my bookmarks and re-install all my extensions.
The overall memory usage is not that high. On my system a huge part of the used memory is cache. Even if it shows that my memory is almost full I can easely run a game that takes up atleast half of my RAM without problems. I can run alot more applications at the same time on my machine when im in KDE, than I can when im in winxp.
koffice and every KDE program is built on top of QT which is platform independent and kdelibs which are not. Once they get kdelibs ported everything else is not a problem.
Thats stupid. Do you even know why countries persue space exploration? Because its a fantastic way for the government to finance high tech research and development. In the end its a net profit not loss.
I dont think KDE has more money. I dont know of any company that puts money into KDE, but a few that put money into GNOME. They do have more developers. Simply because its much easier to develop programs for KDE than it is for GNOME.
For the predictions from age of intelligent machines every one of them came true. For the predictions from age of spiritual machines we are right on course.
Improve upon our existence? We havent done that since the last evolutionary step to homo sapiens. Tyler Durden said it best: "Self improvement is masturbation". What he is talking about is the singularity a new level of intelligence. A new step in evolution.
Anyone who has not read his Age of Spiritual Machines is a noob. Its just incredible reading, specially for anyone who is remotely interested in technology.
Well actualy corporate america is by no means US's cash cow. Do you know why? because they dont pay taxes. Thats right you read it right. The biggest american coorporations dont pay taxes. Thats what an army of lawyers can achieve. It isnt hard to guess who pays the taxes for them...

It's a fantastic device that really helps with RSI.

I have no idea what this means, but it sounds dangerous.
extremely high is a relative term. Gnomes memory usage isnt that much better, neither is winxps or macs.

Its the same kurzweil, he invented the reader.
Are you talking about US or South Korea?
Did I miss a meating or something? Since when do we have the capabilities to make nanotubes the length of houndreds of miles?
What rock are you living under?
Religios wacko to those who have no idea of his reasoning.
Chrichton is a dumbass. If you enjoy reading moronic sci-fear he is just the guy you want. But dont confuse his ideas with reality.
Yes in the US. But you forget that EU, Israel and asian countries are persuing those researches. It cannot be stopped.
perhaps. But his case for the singularity has not bean beaten yet and many have tried. :)
Read the book, then talk
