    Now that just gave me an idea: What if that cache was also writeable? Such a CPU could emulate _any_ architecture. At _full_ speed(anyone?)!

    It actually does. You see it's been proven statistically the left handed people often accidently turn the can _into_ traffic when they try to avoid something. And since most people are right handed, driving on the left will _increase_ the risk of serious traffic accidents.

  19. Games like this exist. on Kasparov vs. The World: It's all different · · Score: 1

    There are many permutations of the game of chess. One for example is "Giveaway-chess" where you have to capture if you can, and the one who looses all his pieses first wins(no special rules for the king). Then theres "Kinglet" or "Last man standing" as i prefer to call it. It's like normal chess exept the king is just another piece, and the last one to have any pieces wins. Another new non chess-related game is "Hex" where you have a n*n(n is normally 10) field of hexagons and you have to connect across before the opponent does. The good part about this game is that computers generally stink at it. Because of the lack of intermidiate feedback that a computer algo whould need to otimize well.

  20. Like this! on IBM launching wearable PC · · Score: 2

    >You can get the illusion of a screen being further away by having TWO screens...

    That still wont help(encreasing the differance between the apparent stereoscopic- and lenz-focus- distance just makes it worse actually). That just fools the stereoscopic depth perseption(spell?). The problem is that the eye still has to focus at a wery close range. This problem is solved by having a lenz attached direcly at the mini-screen.
