No, the real problem is they can't find people as pure and brilliant as you. Because, seriously, if they could, either one of those parties would shower you with virgins to get you to join.
"Cure all diseases related to aging" implies that you know how to cure all of those diseases. Simply put, we don't.
But putting someone on another planet? Just a matter of sending up enough stuff to create a survivable shelter and enough extra stuff to keep that stuff in good repair. The how-to is all but trivial. It's getting the money to do it that's hard.
I'll be immortal in 20 years. You'll still be trying to figure out how to watch one program while recording another.
Depends entirely on how much intellectual contact you get from Earth during the trip and while you're on Mars. And whether there's something productive to do there. If you're not The Dude, then productive is optional but engaging would still be necessary. As well as a lot of vodka, kahlua, and dairy.
Governments are made of individuals. Governments in conflict with other governments need secrecy the way you need a wall between you and a neighbor who's sloppy with his junk.
So last time you checked you woke up on the first Tuesday in November and voted?
Because last time I checked the people who end up running on that day had gone through years if not decades of vetting and promotion by the public (and corporate interests and political parties) to get to that point.
There are ways in democratic countries to change the law so that your goals are met. Meeting your goals by breaking the law is imposing your rule on the people. That makes you the dictator.
You shouldn't bother paying for something that doesn't work for you. If you bought that laptop for the DX10 you should return it and get one that works.
That's what "support" means when talking about graphics. Graphics processing is all about taking some piece of over-used software and putting it in hardware so that it consumes a few hundred picoseconds instead of a several dozen nanoseconds per iteration. It makes common algorithms run faster.
DirectX is a standard for a set of common algorithms. It makes sense to implement as many of them in hardware as you can. DirectX11 is merely the latest iteration of DirectX, and the first to get consideration as part of the CPU die itself*.
* - Sony's Cell processor integrates GPU and CPU functionality, but I don't expect that it was designed with DirectX in mind at all.
Not really. Since it's self-reported, it's up to the person checking the box to bin themselves. What we learn here is that people who shy from calling themselves "software engineer", or are labelled "computer programmer" by their company's org chart, make less than people who report in as "software engineer".
It's what we're really trying to teach in science class.
Or rather, it's what we aren't teaching, for reasons you get in the second part of your post.
The start of every session of a science class should involve a recitation of the scientific method. The rest of what goes on there is demonstration of a variety of techniques and applications for it. And the end of a lecture on any complicated subprocess should involve a summary of the subprocess' place in the system from which it comes.
People have been subscribing to mailing lists a lot longer than that.
(N.B.: This patent isn't really about the relationship. It's about the method for causing the relationship to occur such that the information can subsequently flow, and a particular method at that, and a particularly confusing one at that.)
The process for addition is also a fact. One we teach. Long-division as well.
Math we do pretty good at; science, however, we're fucking up royally by not focussing on the process at all.
It's as though we expect the kids to grok the process from a demonstration of the results (generally pointing out the trivia about it) and a few cartoony diagrams.

Yeah. It'll be a fuckload easier. It means we can send up a lighter crane. Just saved a few $billion right there.
Actually, I do.

Send up a flotilla of cargo ships with parts for the return vehicle.
Then send up a flotilla of vehicle builders.
Then send up your volunteer.
Assange isn't brave. His running and hiding when those two women nailed him for being a douchebag, and his blaming it on America, prove that.
His name is out there because when he first started promoting himself he did it for the fame; and now that it's turned to shit he can't hide.

have you ever thought of running?
either of the parties would love to have you. especially if you're morally pristine and intellectually indestructible, as you seem to think you are.
provided, of course, that anyone in their right mind would vote for you.

Because things change, and DX11 will soon enough be the low end.
If you're buying high-end software, why are you expecting to play it on low-end hardware?
Integrated GPU/CPU will always be lower performance than discrete. If you want bleeding-edge, open your wallet.
In what way do you mean?
Putting graphics processing in HW instead of doing it in SW is always better, and Intel currently rule in HW speed for mainstream chips.
So it's hard to tell what you're saying.
They had. The news here is (more of) the DirectX11 API will be in HW.

When we treat Mexicans the same way we treat Americans, you can start bitching about the way we treat dolphins.
Unemployment among mathematicians is very, very low.
But that's because there are very few people who class themselves as mathematicians.
Most of them are doing something else for a living.
Including flipping burgers, etc...
Now, if the study was done based on what your degree was in, or on what you believe you are qualified to do but aren't necessarily doing...
It's only one of the five criteria they combined to produce their metric.
And they probably under-weighted it.
How much money you make may not have a lot of bearing were it not for studies like these that show you where your pay fits in the scale.
That will either make you happy or unhappy, or both at the same time, on the spot.
Me, I'm whistling at the moment.

They don't. It's self-reported. They just put the checkbox there.
I was doing that today. On my celly.
Found all of the wi-fi hotspots in the building. Surprised how many there are, considering they're against security policy.
The process of science is a fact as well.
