"MIT researchers have incorporated a plant's ability to convert sunlight to energy"
And what is sunlight made of?? Light is not converted to energy. This sentence is ridiculous. The sunlight already is a form of energy that is converted to electrical energy through a new process.
Asinine statements like this really irk me (especially when they come from supposedly technical sources like/.)
Dresden is (and has been since before WWII) one of the most industrialized cities in germany. To say that there were no military targets in sight is crazy. The Nazi war machine was largly constructed in the factories and shops throughout the area.

It sounds like this is just the same "Flaw" in OSX's DHCP settup. There was a thread on this earlier. They essentially use a server to assign a number of items as well as IP. If I reacall correctly, this was never that big of a security flaw (at least not moreso than any other standard DHCP setup)
This is just some guy on a soapbox blabering on about how this "flaw" proves that OSX is just as bad as any Microsoft product. Hopefully others can see past this guy's rhetoric.
Those numbers sound about right to me. I would expect the integrated memory controller to reduce latency by quite a bit (~200% is not unreasonable). There is a lot of time lost in transfering data to the northbridge, then to DRAM.
Look at the Mac for a good example of a Different UI
I'm not a big fan of macs, and I havn't used one since I was in school (years ago), but I can't help but notice the attention and good publicity their UI receives.
I was at a christmas party yesterday and a family friend (not a tech person at all) went on and on about a mac demo that he got to play with. He was very impressed with the dock and the animations.
It is just one example that the UI has not been perfected, and there are other directions to experament with. It would be great if there were more options, and Linux is the ideal place to experament with them.

I worked on a project for the Future Truck competition. (see futuretruck.org for more info)
We installed a prototype system developed by the Donnelly Corporation that had a system of cameras (4 in all) and a computerized system that stitched them into a seamless rear-view image.
The proposed advantages were -Wider field of view (less blind spots) -A fisheye mode that would automatically switch on when the vehicle was put in reverse. -Reduction of drag by removing outside rear-view mirrors
I believe that the total vehicle weight stayed about the same after we installed the system (The outside rear-view mirrors that we removed were the large stock ones found on GMC Suburbans.
I am not sure about this, but I would suspect if one were to compile the kernel with the GCC multithread option "/j n" (if I remember correctly), (n being the number of threads the executable being split up into), then the kernel would be able to take advantage of a SMT processor.
it occurred to me, since you are evaluating the number of links pointing to a page anyway, that it would be a very nice thing to
have a sort of "Top 40 Links of the Day" page, regularly updated to include only new and unique stuff. You could use an
algorithm similar to the one used by
3G is cool and all, but I wouldn't go so far as to say that it will enable wireless video on demand.
That is something that I'm still waiting for in the wired world.
I don't know why this was moded funny.
I was thinking the same thing. Is it really that tough for us nerds to use the correct notation, especially in front page stories?
The Intel 386EX is a great alternative to other, more specialized processors for embedded aplications. All of the development tools are easily available, the processor is relativly inexpensive. That and there is the ease of working and debugging on a PC without needing to cross-compile and emulate.
Those are basically the reasons that my team chose the 386EX in a pc104 for our embedded application (a custom controller for an electrical engineering senior project)

I believe that there are enough "reserved" pins on the P4 to allow Intel to move the memory controller on to the die. This would give the P4 the huge memory bandwidth that it was designed to use. Remember, RDRAM uses a lot fewer pins than conventional DRAM.
I also think that Intel was planning to implement this when they went to.12 micron.
I have to wonder if they have changed their plans with the recent legal and other problems that rambus has had.

This last weekend I had about 10 cups over a 2 hour period. I had a wicked buzz, but I never felt unsafe.
A couple of hours riding in a car and a long day of hard skiing later and I was ready to sleep like a baby, but then again who wouldn't be.
Sense Amps are only necessary to overcome the analog nature of DRAM. Your 6T SRAM cells require nothing of the sort.
You do make a valid point that there is a lot of support hardware necessary for cache to work though.

If 56k is cheating, then my ADSL line must be magic.

Advertisers are just doing what they have always done. They are just using new tools to see how they affect consumers.
There isn't necessarily anything sinister about it.
The large size is probably the event horizon for the black hole.
The event horizon is the sphere within which not even light can escape from the black hole. It is the dark area the the black hole appears to take up.
The actual size of the object would be much smaller
LoL, That's pretty funny!

Actually there is a verb. The phrase have found functions as the verb in that sentence.
The fact that Hemos doesn't know the difference between there and their doesn't change the basic sentence structure.
