From RTFA-ing it's clear that the weeks worth of data only applies when "implanted in something as small as a human eye"
Presumably implanting it in something larger affects the ability to store data, but it's not clear how many library of congresses it will store if implanted into a whale.
Is there a parking problem on Venus? I would have thought that there was plenty of room, given how few cars are designed to operate in such a hostile environment.
It's too late. If you don't start them training with Blender before they can speak they'll never be able to master the interface.

Diablo 3 Hands-On
·
· Score: 1
I know my personal game playing preferences, and after completing Diablo 3 in X I'll want to go in to Single Player mode with a memory editor and mess about for another 10X hours in assembler creating novel cheats and hacks for personal amusement.
Blizzard's behavior with Starcraft II means this will cause my account to be locked, despite never cheating on any multiplayer content.

There could still be trivial solutions to some problems we thought were NP, but there won't automatically be a trivial solution to everything; for cryptographic work you'd still need to make sure whatever you're using was really NP and didn't just look really really difficult.
I'm pretty sure the biggest difference between this and mythbusters is mythbusters built a self-contained system, while this one requires an external power source.
What this kid has done is very impressive, but it does require an extension cord plugged into mains power.
We had a lot of trouble with wireless disruptions around our office - I eventually bought a Wi-Spy (http://www.metageek.net/) for $99 because the productivity loss was getting bad enough to justify the cost of the hardware.
Running a spectrum analyzer, and moving around the office (spending a few minutes in each spot ) was a great way to see what interference was where, and it's great to be able to "see" the 2.4Ghz spectrum instead of just look at what wireless networks exist.
Grab the source SDK and have him make up a few Portal levels; it's quick and easy to start because you can make a bunch of box-like rooms and ledges. You don't feel bad that your levels are all rectangular to start, because that is how most of the actual portal levels are designed.
And it's really fun to use portals to fling yourself around a 3D world that you created yourself.
Maybe the $0.15 was a loss leader to help build up a reputation in his desired market segment, then you can up prices once you have a reputation for a solid reliable product.
If a new product comes along that is cheaper and more desired by consumers the old product becomes a dead market? What fascinating insight! How can I pay money to see more news from this "Murdoch" guy?
Someone blogged about some things he doesn't like and made the front page of slashdot.
Basically, more games have character progression in them where you improve your character and/or equipment while playing and he thinks this is a bad idea for competitive multiplayer games.
You do know that an isk is not worth a dollar right?
Consider either the cost to buy 60B isk from currency sellers, or take the total man-hours needed to make a Titan and multiply by minimum wage, and then you'll have a much more useful figure representing how my *real* value was invested in those ships.
"annihilated amidst controversy"? When has there ever been any significant battle in Eve that didn't feature people blaming server issues for their loss? (often correctly, I might add)
The big difference is in Second Life those micro transactions are between players; Linden Labs takes a cut only when players convert ingame currency back into real money.
From the point of view of Australia having water locked into glacier instead of raining down on our farmland is a crisis.
So if we all start geo-engineering rainfall on a global level what happens when one country wants water that other countries also want? What stops us geo-engineering our deserts to steal your rain? Who sets a quota describing how much rain we're allowed to have, and how will that be enforced?
There are some big technical problems with this plan, but there are also massive social and political problems to be overcome also.
If an article went up describing how a major vendor released a petabyte array for $2M the comments would full of people saying "I could make an array with that much storage far cheaper!"
Now someone has gone and done exactly that (they even used linuxto do it) and suddenly everyone complains that it lacks support from a major vendor.
This may not be perfect for everyones needs, but it's nice to see this sort of innovation taking place instead of blindy following the same path everyone else takes for storage.

140 metres will just fit just inside the boundaries of a cricket oval. 150 metres won't fit, making the machines more than one cricket pitch in size.
Now if only I could find out how many library of congresses worth of rock they could move in an hour.
My toothbrush is smart enough to tell me when I've been brushing my teeth for 2 minutes.
I used to find this feature useless, but now I can take comfort in knowing my toothbrush is smarter than Iran's most advanced concrete.

This means no Diablo III purchase for me.
I'm only 31, and this is the second decade in which I've heard this claimed.
That's because Linux has poor game support and it's the Year Of The Linux Desktop.
The images of the soccer players stored in the Tivo have no free will.
I can't say with certainty if soccer players have free will, but I can state that a recording of something is not the same as the original object.

Make two real Faraday cages.
Put a real radio broadcast antenna in each.
Only turn on one of the antenna.
This also eliminates other possible causes for variation, like "plants grow better in a metal cage" or "A faraday cage gives a plant better shade"

Just as well those local bookstores produce all their products on-site and have also have no shipping costs.
The costs may be smaller, they may be built into the book prices, but they are there.

I'd like to know why having a deaf culture is preferable to not having any deaf people.
Next you'll be wanting to bring back leper colonies so we don't lose leper culture.

Just wait for the iPhone app, so you can use your mobile connection to break into the faster wifi broadband.
