Actually that was suboptimal. The optimal solution for keeping your coffee warm puts out only about 20 watts. Those Pentiums were dumping on the order of 200 watts into the air. You could brew coffee on that.
Now it's no longer necessary, of course. I have two quad-core boxes stacked by my side, here, and have to lean over to see the lights to know they're running. Fan noise is a thing of the past.
Summary does not follow from headline. What does mundane x-ray therapy have to do with astronomy? No, I don't want to RTFA for that. You teased it in the headline, re-teased it in the first sentence of the summary, then explained it not. I have to read this summary in a sing-song version of an Australian accent with half my brain removed, while dangling shiny things in front of my face, in order to get the mood it's written in.
If anything makes me have no respect for Microsoft's search engine, it's the embarassingly stupid name they've given it.
"Google" is fun. "Bing" is childish. And tying it to a trademarked sound is just brand-development masturbation right in the face of your potential customers.
I get all kinds of shit for free over the Internet. And the stuff Netflix delivers that way is degraded. No 1080, weak selection, sometimes misformatted, balky, and, in at least one case, an entire season of a TV show was reversed so that when i selected episode 1 of season 2 I got the season finale (and all its spoilers) first. They're 3X the catalog and 100% improvement in reliability and quality away from being worth money at all.
That's kind of confusing going back in time locally with going back in event horizons.
To go back in time and be at the place you started you need some curvature in space, and for that you need lots of gravity. Preferably spinning gravity.
Come to think of it, it might not require FTL. I'll have to look it up.
Science is like that. It takes things thate seem to be given, and checks to be sure that taking them as given is a good idea.
This is newsworthy because, ever since the earlier experiments described in the summary, there's been a suggestion that maybe it wasn't true, and that makes it a big deal to prove it either way.
6 months ago, if you had a Netflix DVD account, you were paying $0 to stream through your Roku, plus $8 for the DVD. Then you were paying $11 for them both. Now you're paying $17 for the same thing.
There's no happy there. Just the gouging anyone could have predicted once Netflix had put both Hollywood Video and Blockbuster out of business.
College teaches you a lot of useful things, but once everyone coming through the door knows them, the company no longer considers them useful in a value-over-replacement-player kind of way.
But what College teaches you most is how to learn, so that's why the sign is true, even if it's not a tautology. I.e., lots of people are trainable even if they didn't get that piece of paper.
And his logic is flawed. A lot of men (women) put up with 4 years of bullshit to get a piece of paper because there was beer and pussy (penis) everywhere, every day of that 4 years. They couldn't care less about the paper.

Yes, but for what? Do I need to enable something other than javascript to see the skin?

How do you lose $2.6 billion on a web-crawler?
Did they try to replicate Google all at once?

Quit it.
China's government runs the entire country like it's a business. When has running something like a business been an innate recipe for failure?
The number of obvious counterexamples is so large that there must be an error in their definition of the problem space.
Either that, or they're just full of it.

Really? When I mix hot and cold water I get warm water. Why do you expect matter-antimatter annihilation from everything?
It's caused by people reading things on the internet but ignoring the true ones.
Photons don't vote, so it doesn't matter what their perspective is.
Keep up with the program.
FTL doesn't automatically imply time travel. You need to do FTL in a situation in which it implies time travel (near a rotating black hole, e.g.)

It's only called that because we haven't found a way to make it not true, yet. So no, it's not obvious, it's illuminating.
Since when is a marketing tactic the same as a business model?
When you see the ad.
Netflix could have got away with maybe a 20-30% price hike. 60% is going to hurt them more than they anticipated.
Does it use special software? Or just let you take it using something you compiled yourself?
My toilet flusher runs GNU/Linux. I run whatever came in the computer. Because I'm not limited like the computer is.
I can get 3D 1080p content over DirecTV. Over Netflix streaming, it's 720i, and maybe it runs all the way through without buffering.
If I wanted pirate-video quality, I would have bought the movie for $0.99 in Chinatown.

For many people college can just be a place to immature in a somewhat controlled and protected environment.
FTFY.
If you aren't smart enough to have made the university pay you to be there, then you probably made a mistake considering a Masters an investment.
Well, that's why he's in HR.

I want you to finish high school before you post again.
