    I think that most of us understand the humor in this, but seriously, I wouldn't be surprised to see FUD like this in the future.

  14. Re:Well, at least some lights stayed on on Satellite Views Of The Blackout · · Score: 0
    It's a good thing all the green lights marking the state borders stayed on, or there could have been real trouble.


    Those aren't borders, those are billions of little green men surrounding politicians.
  15. Used in scripting book on Guido van Rossum Interviewed · · Score: 0, Informative

    A Game Development Series book titled "Game Scripting Mastery" shows how to incorporate Python into a game scripting project. Yeah, I know this is a plug, but this book is a prime example of a known open source project being used as a teaching tool.

    There is one caveat to this book though--it uses other scripting languages also, but it does provide a dedicated chapter for Python.

  23. Applying known quantum principles? on More on Spintronics · · Score: 0

    First, got to get my trolling out of the way. Man, this sounds like a scam to setup for future bogus patents. I'm not saying this application isn't real, just that it smells like a case of researchers setting themselves up to benefit commercially by calling a known concept 'neglected' and giving the study of it a fancy name. I'm not even doubting that they've found a combination of compounds that minimizes energy dissipation in integrated circuits.

    My real statement is that even if this is leads to better integrated circuits by minimizing energy dissipation, it won't nullify the fact that the energy will still have to dissipate from electronic devices at some point. In the case of a computer system, would this mean that other components would have to deal with increased heat rather than the situation we have now--CPU overheating?
