What does Flash mobs have anything to do with the gang violence article? The gangs spoken of in the article, are not "flash mobs", but simply street gangs who use the internet.
I think the poster used Jeff Goldblum's character, David Levinson logic, from Independence Day
"Gangs who use the internet.... gangs... a mob is a sort of gang. Mobs... mobs... hey, there are flash mobs, which is in an internet thing. Aha! Extra! Extra! Flash mobs become violent!"
Great for you!, What I was getting at is that IMHO most people, when faced with two video cards, closely related in specification will likely buy the same brand as they had before
True statement. However this does not happen to be the case today. Both cards do perform fairly equally, but there is an important difference between them that some readers are forgetting about. The nvidia card requires two free molex connections. In addition, the video card requires a 480watt power supply. On top of that, nvidia wants each molex connection to be on it's own dedicate line from the PSU. In otherwords, no other device may be on those main lines. That's a pretty fancy PSU you are going to have to purchase to use this card.
And of a minor note, the nvidia card takes up two slots of your motherboard because of it's cooling solution. The ATI card only needs 1. As well, as it only needs 1 molex connection.
So yes, they do perform rather equally, however they are not indentical to each other.
The risk was similar to Internet users "running naked through the jungle, which didn't matter until somebody released some tigers," said Paul Vixie of the Internet Systems Consortium Inc.
Was the naked part necessary? I don't know about you, but it would matter to me if there were loose tigers near by, regardless if I was naked or not:)
Now I can transfer my life savings from my bank in LA to my private Swiss bank account in.00000000001 seconds!
Well... not necessarly. What was conducted was a bandwidth throughput test. I would be interested to learn what was the latency between the two machines used for the test.
Some applications, such as computer games, low latency is more important than bandwidth.
The article has little to do with the game of chess
Apperantly the writer of this news item did not understand that and decided to do the next best thing. To submit a news article via plagiarizing the article's third paragraph. After all, this is slashdot, no one reads the article. Who would notice?
Star Wars fans may want to watch the second half of the Star Wars: Clone Wars cartoon mini series, on the
Cartoon Network this Friday the 6th, at 8pm and 9pm. As it bridges the story between movies Episode II and Episode III. That and we get to see the fall of the Jedi order.

Brine on Mars?

What's the difference? You are their all time best seller!
The lower gravity would create long-term medical problems and the cosmic radiation that penetrates the thin atmosphere is bound to increase the risk of cancer.
Why would a lower gravity have these effects on the human body, does anyone here know why? Does this mean a full-fledge civilization on Mars would not be possible, because of the lower gravity?
I'm sure this will not sink in and invetiably the next/. chess news article will have replies about how we as humans can not accept computers been "smarter" than us.
This however is an incorrect line of thinking. Computers are dumb as a rock. They do know perform tasks outside of those that they were programmed for. They are not self aware. They are not intuitive. They are not conscious. They are machines, that mechanically execute the orders you feed it.
These man vs machine competitions only prove that it is us, the humans, who are getting better at developing chess algorithms.
How about one of those blood sugar powered [smh.com.au] setups. Then your laptop could help you lose weight without all that inconvenient moving around. I can see it now. "I need to finish this paper by midnight, bring me more Krispy Kremes NOW!"
Didn't we learn anything about been human batteries for machines, in this movie: The Matrix
Question: What sort of people buy REALDOLL?
REALDOLL customers include futurists, artists, art collectors, film-makers, scientists, health professionals, housewives -- you name it.
As though to suggest that the doll would be used more than just sexual gratification... that misconception is removed quickly, followed by the next thirty questions answering how real the sex will be!

Dinosaurs Fried Within Hours of Cosmic Collision, Study Concludes

According to the article, the dinos were cooked by super-heated air. That would mean they were broiled, not fried
No doubt though, to go along with such a climatic scene, it will be accompany with some appropriate music, like "Surf Rider" :)

That's alright, time is relative.

Ever notice how Dreamweaver and Photoshop never really came with much anti-piracy measures beyond the basic serial-number?
Not anymore. All of Adobe's next product revisions(CS versions) will have online-key checking, ala Microsoft's Windows XP.
