Liquid water, that is either very hot (near the smoker) or quite cold (further away), at very high pressure several thousand feet below sea level, no light, instead a lot of minerals and salts that are toxic (or at least harmful) to "life as we know it". Just a couple of decades ago scientist believed that to be "completely inhospitable to life", just like the AC thinks about Europa - with the difference that he is probably not a scientist.
As for the rest, read the first site I linked to, and the other articles found there - The Origin of Life.
Circular logic at its best. The chances of life there are astronomical, because we haven't found life there yet. It's much, much more likely that a particular mixture of particular salts (we were not able to reproduce yet) happens to exist there.
In case you didn't get my point, 50 years ago scientists knew that there could be no life under such extreme environments as those surrounding Black Smokers, now we not only know better, it is likely that life started there. "Common knowledge" is not a good basis for science.
Do you know what a "Black Smoker" is? Do you know that their surroundings are "completely inhospitable to life in the middle of nowhere"? And that they may have been the places were life on earth started?
Try this, and this, and this. (Just a little googleing;-)
Yes, Objectiv-C is (truely) object oriented, but is very much unlike C++, which is "object oriented"-like. Well, you may disagree about those definitions, but they use objects differently, actually in an incompatible way. Carbon OTOH doesn't care if you use procedural languages like C or (Real)Basic, or an OOP wrapper with languages like C++. That's why, if you want to use C++, you have to use Carbon for programming - just like Alias|Wavefront did with Maya
Here is a link to the designers of the original plant in Spain. Under "Index - Solar Power Plants" you will find more on both the Solar Chimney and a Dish/Stirling combination.
Let's compare him to Dubya a little more, Arnie is self-made, not a failure in business matters (well, Planet Hollywood - but we are comparing him to Dubya) and he has the better command of the English language.
Of course you don't need a 64-bit processor for that, SIMD extensions like AltiVec and SSE2 already do better than those by doing it with 128 bit chunks.
To quote a German politician (on 9/11): "Today we are all Americans."

There was a simmilar (true unicycle) device shown on the Hannover Fair in Spring by the Fachhochschule (FH / College of Applied Sciences) Bielefeld. Here's a mini-paper and here the press-release (in German / with photo).
It makes as much sense as the other new TLDs do. Actually it makes more sense. I doubt you will find anything under e.g. ford.biz and ford.info but what you find now at ford.com - ford.museum OTOH will lead you to the old Fords. You are seeking for any science museum? Type in science.museum into the address bar - voila, all (registered) science museums. No chance to find something that is not a science museum, no need to call up a search engine.
Well, since the cube uses the standard ZIF processor module (that's why he was able to fit the dual proc card in), Sonnet will not need to make a special cube version, just one that isn't exceedingly large. Just like you can actually fit smaller AGP cards into the cube (like a dual headed one).

You're plain wrong.
Thanks for marking your post as a troll.
Mrrrp. Photons have no mass, yet they are particles. More precise, they are "gauge bosons" . (From the Usenet Physics FAQ)

Southern Comfort is a froo froo liqueur. Try Strohrum instead.

Funny you should mention, the US payed less than 12% of what the (2nd) Gulf War cost.

He just signed the deal, how can there be any footage yet? The best you can hope for is a video of the pages of the script.

And on behalf of all the privacy paranoids out there: they don't know who bought what.
Actually, they should be forced to ask more, like $3000 per copy.
Well, next thing we'll see is America trying this. No wait, we did.
So if the 750CX is a "too fast" version of the Gecko, where are the extra instructions?
So why 6,000 flags? The official death toll is less than 4,000 (article), hundreds of them weren't even Americans.
Well, somebody should sue them. It hurts that it looks like Windows 95.

Dang, I thought he played the other lead.

Classy? Sorry, nhm.ac.uk is close to the sound my cat makes when it throws up.
