Dual core chips came closer to reality as AMD demonstrated their Athlon64 dual core offering....As I understand it, that's about as close to reality as you can get...
solar (slr) ADJECTIVE: 1. Of, relating to, or proceeding from the sun: solar rays; solar physics. 2. Using or operated by energy derived from the sun: a solar heating system. 3. Determined or measured in reference to the sun: the solar year.
The only time these ocular implants will be using energy derived from Sol (our star/sun) is when the bearers are looking directly at the sun. Otherwise, according to quantum physics, everything that the person 'sees' is, in actuality, absorbing a photon from whichever light source is present (solar or artificial), and re-emitting a photon of reduced power and a wavelength dependent on the properties of that material which is doing the 'reflecting'.
Therefore, while it is possible that these implants will from time to time use solar energy, they are in no way whatsoever strictly 'solar'.
I have work to do, not a bunch of pointless tinkering. I am paid to produce results, not tinker with the computer.
While attempting to sound hoity-toity, you actually told us all that you tinker with things for no point.
You complained about not being able to do this. On slashdot, that will prompt reccomendations for resolution. You then said that fixing it would be "pointless tinkering," where in actuality the point was clearly to accomplish what you were trying to accomplish in the first place. Therefore , you personally called your own goal a fool's errand.
Nice.
The fact of the matter is that sometimes, on any platform, you will need to "tinker." This becomes more likely when you are trying to execute something that is not native to your platform of choice. Welcome to Slashdot. Enjoy your stay.
I want to second this post. I've been a Live365 subscriber for about a year and in fact I'm listening right now. Thousands of stations, great progressive rock, great classical, great music of all genres. All for under $5 a month. My office sanity would not be the same without it.
Please don't use the letter l in place of the number 1. It REALLY screws with my head.
Regarding the rest of your question, the simple (to say) answer is that time is fluid, and does not flow at the same rate in all places relative to all observers, especially over cosmic-scale distances. Yours is a good question, and if you really want to understand the current beliefs on the mechanics of time under general relativity, you should check out About Time by Paul Davies for a book written for the lay person by one of the sharpest minds of the current era..

Poor spelling, grammer
Grammar.
Jesus, dude. When you slam spelling, ALWAYS FUCKING SPELLCHECK!
We learn these lessons the hard way...

Imagine an inter-retinal power supply meltdown!
:-P

I came here to correct the use of 'solar' but that's been done so I'll settle with you.
Inter means between two. Intra-retinal is what you were looking for. Intra-ocular might even be better.
There. I'm feeling better already.

Do you like having your legs unbroken?
Actually, if my legs were broken, I would very much appreciate that.
"come on, your a joke"
No, not my a joke. Whatever my a joke means.
The parent said quicktime for PCs made quicktime cross-platform. But once more, you noobs never bother to look at the parent.
No wonder you're AC.
How is QuickTime any more cross-platform than WMV?
For that matter, looking at that link, I don't understand this whole article, let alone this thread.
The global warming danger threshold for the world is clearly marked for the first time in an international report to be published tomorrow.
But, what happens the day after tomorrow?!?!
All my foes are spelling or grammar Nazis.
"all of my foes"
This is just trading one dogma for another dogma.
The sticker was factual but was "damned" by those in power because it is against their dogma.
The Catholic church can tell you how that turns out.
