Yeah, Apple already makes it -- it's called the iPod Touch. It's got the touchscreen, camera, and LED. And strangely, another camera pointed at the ceiling. But it's got everything needed to act like a mouse.
CUDA was announced November 2006, so Microsoft wasn't that far ahead. But mass-market GPGPU really got started around 2000, culminating in the Brook project in 2004. Microsoft didn't start this trend, though they did jump on it quickly.
Firstly, it's not undetectable, since you just detected it. Secondly, it doesn't affect everybody, just the HFT people. Most of us don't have much sympathy for them, so we wouldn't consider it a problem.
Scanning for this behavior is going to be challenging, as HFTers will want to detect this particular misbehavior while hiding their own misbehavior.
But the only way to erase all human suffering would be to erase what makes us human -- our free will.
What makes you think you have a free will? In any case, only your "freedom" to hurt other people is taken away. Which is the whole point of law, by the way. Are you opposed to the rule of law too?

That's an obvious strawman, isn't it? None of those things end a life, either physically or metaphorically. But they effectively obscure my original point -- why would god put a soul on this earth only to have it suffer it's entire existence?
Even during her worst struggles when she was unable to respond to any external stimuli, I don't feel that her life was useless at that point.
That's rather selfish of you. How would she feel about her life? Really, between your first point and this one, I'm starting to think you draw enjoyment from the pain of others.
Those that believe in a Christian god know that they are going to a better place after death on earth, so perhaps that's why pain and suffering on earth does not shake their faith - they know it is only temporary.
How do you "know" a thing that is false? You can "believe" in the afterlife, but you can't "know" it. Plus, the more you focus on the afterlife, the more you ignore life.
God's job isn't to erase all human suffering (what kind of life would that be?...)
Happy? Productive? Full of praise for God?
Life should be a positive experience, full of enjoyment of existing ideas and works, creation of new ones. If you have a disability such that it takes all your time just fighting to survive and no time for anything else, then that not only renders your life useless, but it drags down the people around you.
What kind of god would create a soul, then put it in a prison and torture it for its entire existence?
Who's going to design a whole new set of ASICs every six months?
And nobody does that now. But nVidia and ATI produce designs and speed bumps at least as fast as Intel. Commodore could have released better chips (engineering wanted to do that for the Amiga 3000) but management stopped them.
I'm not sure what your point is. Is it your dropbox? Prove this to B and have them terminate the account. If any of the info at B is yours, prove it to B and terminate the account. If they refuse, then you'll be able to show your employer that you don't control the account. If they accept, you'll be able to find out who opened the account, and show your employer that it wasn't you.
I'm unclear on the problem. If the info at registrar B matches your info, then you can gain control of the account and terminate it. If it doesn't, then you'll have proof the lawsuit is baseless. If you can't get control, the denial letter from the registrar will serve as proof the lawsuit is baseless.
Of course, to use this proof in court, you'll need a lawyer. But hopefully just getting a lawyer will encourage your company to cool down and talk sense.
But once all this is over, you need to scrub your info from the registration and replace it with the company's info, since it's their domain. You'll then want to quit this job, since this company is more interested in lawsuits than business.
There's no value, obviously. It's silly to put a screen where you never look.
The purpose of replacing a keyboard with a screen isn't to create an inferior keyboard, but to eliminate keyboard-type actions altogether. It's an attempt to bring Start Trek The Next Generation style interfaces into the real world, a trick that only the iPhone has mastered.
I skimmed the patent, and it looks like a standard troll patent. I see "may", "various", "and the like", and the classic "display device". Lots of ideas, but no actual technology.
If this is a typical software patent, I see the problem is much worse than I feared.
None, by definition. If you're inside, there's nothing to stop you. And if you can smuggle a carefully selected crystal into a high-energy physics lab, then computer security is irrelevant.

"FOSS looked like an impossible pipe-dream when it started. Did you know that?"
Wow, they took it quite well.

No, that's the KITT. This is just the Knight Industries Three, a toy version made for the CEO's daughter.

Seven maybe, but there's possibly over a hundred horonics perhaps, but not really.
My guess is the next "world war" (more a "worldwide war") will be governments vs. the people.
I believe that's the definition of "civil war".
And it'll be even older news when they repost it tomorrow.

No they don't, because they're still being born.
For us armchair rocket scientists, an RTG is also known as a nuclear battery.
There can only be one Batman. And you have to kill all the other Batmans to become The One Batman.
Although, I might be thinking of some other movie.

There aren't very many left. Kindows, Kinko's, Kindergarten, Kinematic. And, um, Kincrosoft.
You fell asleep because you were bored. You need to learn to speed-read.
Well, the HDMI port carries audio, so that's pretty easy.
Why would you? You like to drink a nice kerosene and perfume margarita when you get home from work?
Sure, you can plug it into my liquid LCD.

Dam it, I couldn't help reading that entire post in the Twilight Zone announcer's voice.
