Germany has a very advanced military, it could certainly get photos of the roof of a building more covertly than sending out a helicopter and making a public statement.
Elon Musk founded PayPal, Tesla, and a company that flies TO SPACE.
I'm sure he has the supply strategy for the #1 component of his cars worked out.
What a non-story.
Given a long enough time frame, the human race will either inevitably fizzle out on our single planet, or move on to be an interstellar civilization for at least some period of time.
If the second possibility is to happen, utilizing the moon will most certainly be a stepping stone there. Whether it's covering the surface in solar panels, mining it for helium 3, or something entirely different like simply using it as a staging area for longer range launches, we can't say, but it's virtually guaranteed that humans will be all over the moon in some capacity if they are to expand beyond our planet/solar system.
On another note, the moon is a boring bland rock compared to Earth. I bet the moon is incredibly desperate for us to do something interesting on its surface... "please, let something, anything happen aside from getting smacked with another space rock and getting a 15 millionth identical crater!"
That's true, but in this case it looks like it is simply a broken version of a benchmark that Intel latched on to for marketing purposes:
"At a certain point, it runs a loop that's meant to be performed 32x just once, then reports to the benchmark that the task completed successfully."
You honestly think that's the result of a commodity exchange? Lots of PC components are commoditized, like RAM/Flash and practically all of the cheaper components like voltage regulators.
Deutsche Borse doesn't want to further a conspiracy, they want to make some profit from transaction fees.
As for the actual premise, that's pretty interesting! For one, that would mean that all systems on the market would need to be interoperable. As in one day you could buy your cloud power from one provider, and the next day you could put up a bid and get it filled by another who would do the exact same job on the same code, transparently.
This would be impossible for the major players in the cloud market as they're all on vastly different platforms and can't take the same jobs. Either the announcement is sensationalized and it won't actually be a "commodity" exchange, or it's going to be a fairly empty market.
"The department’s authorized 2013 budget, after sequester, totals $565.8 billion - by far the largest chunk of the annual federal budget approved by Congress. Yet the Pentagon is literally unable to account for itself. As proof, consider that a law in effect since 1992 requires annual audits of all federal agencies – and the Pentagon alone has never complied."
This is gross, and is insulting to the consumer.
During thanksgiving, 1/2 of my family was using or thinking about buying Apple products, and it's primarily because of outrageous practices such as this.
50 crapware programs pre-installed? Is this comedy?
That's not CS, that's CSE. There's a major difference between those degrees. CS is about math, algorithms, and architecting software. CSE is all of that + electrical engineering, which basically means you end up learning how to design chips, etc.
But they're so convincing!
"FAR SURPASSES SPIELBERG, KUBRICK, OR EVEN HITCHCOCK!
Films such as Citizen Kane, The Godfather, and Schindlers List pale in comparison to this staggering, luminescent, wondrous cinematic masterpiece.
Again, this is an understatement."
As someone who was part of an online business that got 80% of first time sales from google ads, I disagree.
You're also sorely mistaken if you think that successful web businesses don't track ROI and which customers are coming from where. It's incredibly easy to do even for a layman, and it's very hard to make money with an ebusiness without doing it. There are so many companies in every product category that staying alive comes down to SEO and ad management.
"The computer giant today admitted to having a fleet of planes and helicopters which have been flying over major cities around the world."
And so commences the Apple Invasion.
If spiders can learn how to build a web in zero gravity after a few tries (http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/Space/story?id=6301339&page=1), it's safe to say that birds/fish would probably be able to navigate, at least as far as physics allows them to. Obviously things like the magnetic pathfinding of birds would be useless in space.
New Zealand is responsible for what they do in their own backyard with their own police forces.
If they want to surrender their sovereignty to a bunch of RIAA/MPAA hacks who have paid off the right people, that's their prerogative. It's obvious that they've realized the mistake and are trying to make things right, but in the end it's NZ that screwed up here.

Sure, and let's do that to people using torrents too! ISPs should be dumb pipes, it's better than way. Be careful what you wish for.

Medfield is on 32nm.
A tax that increases at an exponential rate, what more could a government hope for!
