NASA should really talk to Blizzard or Bioware about how to make astronauts look like Space Marines.
I dunno about that, it looks like they're already well on their way towards that.
Slap a large drill on the hand, and NASA could have their astronauts dressed like Big Daddys.
2) I for one, would like to welcome our new register constrained overlord.
Then you had better get started on its AI routines
3) Can you imagine a Beowulf cluster of these?
Why yes, yes I can (and it would be huge, power hungry, and require it be run at the bottom of the ocean for heat-dissipation)
BTW, from TFA this system is cooled "by dumping water directly on the microprocessors", after which the warmed water is used to heat the rest of the building in winter
4) In Soviet Russia supercomputer run YOU!
Only if you get around to finishing Point 2
5) There is no God, I reject your fairytales.
You mean you won't buy them any more?
Damnit, what am I going to do with this gross of tails I tore off of faeries last week?
Not cool, man...
Not only that, but the tests themselves were biased.
Case in point, a "blind" taste-test offered at a local waterpark that I was at as a teenager, with signs all around it clearly defining it as the "Pepsi Challenge"
This particular taste test was giving out prizes/awards. I had noticed that some people walked away with a bottle of pepsi, and some walked away with a chocolate bar, but nobody got to choose (they were simply being handed the prize).
I (correctly) assumed that those who chose Pepsi as the favorite received the beverage, and those who chose coke got the snack.
I prefer Coke, but I was thirsty and I knew which tasted like which. I chose Pepsi, and got a free beverage.
I told my friends, they attempted, and all got the same result.
At that point it wasn't a contest of coke vs pepsi, it was a contest of free beverage vs free snack on a hot, sunny day in a waterpark.
And there's the problem. The average user (who is not the kind of geek who reads Slashdot) either A. owns an SDTV, B. doesn't know that a PC can use an HDTV as a monitor, or C. isn't aware of the advantages of an HTPC running XBMC over dedicated video streaming hardware such as the Roku. How can each of these three be fixed?
Boxee has done a great job of it.
through word-of-mouth from her friends she and her husband bought one (no interaction with me whatsoever on the topic), however as a port of XBMC (at least originally), it does everything they need it to do, which was to play videos she had on her pc in her living room on their tv/projector.
The same can be said of XBMC now, once our community finds a suitable OTS nettop to play it on (that is supported by things like harmony remotes)
even then, where the fuck is neogeo? or is that collection up for 12 million as a separate bid?

Any members/representatives carrying said ordinance are, though.
It would definitely help us get less ordinance in the future (albeit for a short time)
It is confusing why some animals are protected & their killing outlawed, while other animals get murdered in the billions.
Red meat, white meat, blue meat, meat-o-fucking-rama. You will eat it. Because not eating meat is a decision. Eating meat is an instinct! Yeah!
And I know what it's about. "I don't want to eat the meat because I love the animals. I love the animals."
Hey, I love the animals too. I love my doggy. He's so cute. My fluffy little dog.. He's so cute-
There's the problem. We only want to save the cute animals, don't we? Yeah.
Why don't we just have animal auditions.
Line 'em up one by one and interview them individually.
"What are you?"
"I'm an otter."
"And what do you do?"
"I swim around on my back and do cute little human things with my hands." ...
"You're free to go."
"And what are you?"
"I'm a cow."
"Get in the fucking truck, ok pal!"
"But I'm an animal."
"You're a baseball glove! Get on that truck!"
"I'm an animal, I have rights!"
"Yeah, here's yer fucking cousin, get on the fucking truck, pal!"
We kill the cows to make jackets out of them and then we kill each other for the jackets we made out of the cows.
Not the OS companies, the AV companies
Ironic, no, that a virus with a definite source that isn't an AV company is also immune to those same AV companies?
"The public" are sheep. They have been programmed, propagandized and beaten into being sheep. If "the public" were not sheep, then a vast majority of modern problems wouldn't exist.
They used to be sheep; lean, tasty sheep that are at least smart enough to run away from something chasing them, if nothing else
Now, they are nothing more than cows; mass-produced, overweight, corn-fed mounds of flesh shoehorned into a confined space where they do little more than eat and sleep until they're ready for slaughter.
The inevitable progression of the TSA will be that pre-flight pat-downs and strip searches won't be necessary: people will simply be required to turn around at the gate and go home, instead of boarding their flight.
Can't remember if 98, 95 or 3.11 could do it though it wouldn't surprise me.
95/98 could, but it was kludgy.
Basically you needed two video cards based on the same chipset, and the "primary" card needed an actual VGA BIOS, and only certain chipsets worked. nVidia cards were hard-if-not-impossible to get working; early Radeons were buggy in hardware; your best bet were rage3d (for which drivers sucked) and 2mb/4mb s3 or Matrox cards
Then, you'd install the drivers for your secondary card first, then for your primary card (as oftentimes libraries would get overwritten), if they actually had different chipsets.
Finally, whichever card was the primary in boot-order was also the primary in Windows. You couldn't actually switch primary cards on-the-fly until Win2k (or XP, perhaps)

You need a supercomputer to simulate Android 4.0 ?
No, you need a supercomputer to simulate 1/3 of Android 4.0
You'd probably need a beowulf cluster of them to simulate the entire sandwich

Yes, SUSE

I like Panic's Coda, which is more of a web project oriented IDE than a Design Tool.
I do believe you need to hand in your geek card now.
Is one of the first things we learn not "Don't Panic"?

I've played enough SimCity 2000 to know that this is a terrible idea.
SC2k used masers (microwave-based wireless power stations)
Lasers are perfectly harmless (as long as you don't look at them with your remaining eye)

The person above was KIDDING! Do not dry your baby, cat, dog, hamster, mouse, whatever, in a microwave! It will kill them!
+1, this ^^
Use your old-school tumble-dryer instead.
It takes a bit longer, but the risk of explosions is much lower.
And, more importantly, if you remove one drop, is it still a storm?
Only if it falls in the woods
Number 5's makers called it Number 5 (as in Prototype #5)
Upon gaining sentience and acquiring input, Number 5 decided to call himself "Johnny"

Apologies to Denis Leary
The only thing in the eye of the beholder is charm, death, fear, telekinesis, serious wounds, and anti-magic.
There's always Ray of Disintegration too
The anti-magic is more a field, or aura, than an actual effect of an eye.

No, I'm not a vegetarian
I thought traitors were hanged, not shot.
Being hanged for treason usually requires being convicted of treason.
A SCJ could just appeal to himself then dismiss the case.
And yes, I do know that they're not allowed to preside over a trial against themselves
That sent us back to 1792. I couldn't even have toast since sliced bread hadn't been invented yet.
You could have invented it yourself, and then been the inventor of the greatest thing until [insert cool thing here].
Assuming that belief in "luck" is, in fact, a sane belief.
PROTIP: It's a half-step above consulting chicken entrails.
Pierson's Puppeteers were quite sane (s/sane/cowardly/g), and did believe in luck, such that they tried to breed it for their Ringworld expidition
mine is 192.168.1.101. Good luck hacking into that!
No need to hack; I have root on that box
Isn't Michigan part of Canada or least part of Detroit or something like that?
Not quite, although Canada is one of Detroit's southern neighbours

Won't somebody think of the kettles?!
Why? They have nothing to fear, except, maybe, pots interested in nameology
Kodak Park was the biggest chemical-processing facility this side of the Mississippi... which, of course, includes all of New Jersey.
Now, of course, there are very few facilities which process more chemicals than the shore...
