Something I just thought of as a possibly easy first step: take a current chip and fold it into a cylinder and you've halved the latency between any two points on average.
Not only that, chips could (with sufficient technical advances) be made in cubes (with sufficient piping for cooling) rather than wafer thin things, and we would be able to get a lot more speed out of individual cores.
For what, a little roller coaster ride (with a higher chance of death than a normal on), and a pretty view? He would have to retire at a later age. Wouldn't you rather retire earlier, even if it was just a little earlier, and be able to do whatever you wanted for a little bit longer?
Your post came off as an advertisement to me as well. It didn't sound like a real user was telling me about it, but rather, it felt like I was being beaten over the head by the marketing department at TomTom.
So when virtual reality comes out (it exists now but not in a feasible form) and games take advantage of it, that won't be innovation? Only input devices matter, not output?
No they wouldn't. If you look at the HTML of your post there is a rel="nofollow" attribute on your link, and every link posted in the comments of slashdot.
Even if Hubble could do it, conspiracy theorists would just be like "NASA must have faked them to try and prove us wrong.. we're not falling for that".
(B) If you bring a patent claim against any contributor over patents that you claim are infringed by the software, your patent license from such contributor to the software ends automatically.
Doesn't that mean that they can release this, you make a change, then they take your changed version and make a change that violates one of your patents, at which point you can't sue them over it?

Hey guess what, the people posting comments on this site aren't all the same person. I mean wow, the parent was like "blah blah blah" and then you were like "blah blah blah isn't a good argument!" What hypocrisy! This site just disagreed with itself!!11
Have you seen gears of war? It's not "more pixels with last gen details". When I first heard of the Wii I thought of exactly what you are saying. The Wii would run with the same level of detail, just at a lower resolution. As such it would be way cheaper to manufacture and sell than the PS3 and the 360. It didn't turn out that way. Graphically, it is literally a gamecube with a few slight enhancements.

He was speculating on what they gained, not on what they are doing. Are you dense?
Not only that, as long as Google complies with the DMCA, they are engaging in censorship in our own country.
Your problem is you looked at the HTML. Heh, I was mistaken, it only happens on things like the website attached to a submitter's name in a story.

Read the summary or type 'wiki penny arcade expo' into your address bar (you do have a keyword setup for wikipedia searches right?).
What, are you poor or something? My TV was only in the 2-3k range and it when it 'sleeps' it slowly drifts off, fading the volume and the brightness.

Stupidest thing I've heard all week.
Switching from one to the other isn't like switching operating systems. I don't think they really have to have a 'backwards compatibility suite'

Also interesting is that you assumed his statment of fact that 'that people' meant 'that all people', thereby implicating the parent of his post.
Wow, you think the street didn't already think of that?
The reason you are looking for is the speed at which light travels.
I invite you to browse the Slashdot of '99. Shut your mouth.

It's 100% of the SONY songs, which works out to about 50% of all songs.

RayTRACING not rayTACING. Small difference.
