The single core still makes mores sense, because most computations other than graphics are not easily (or at all) parallelizable.
Instead, what is needed when power becomes excessive is simply a shift to a newer technology--and there are many options, so there's no fundamental issue, just a monetary one, and so any possible profits will be milked from the slow silicon substrate for as long as possible, even if progress is slowed down because of it.
Nope. Believers stupid. And despite level of intelligence, with almost all women emotions are stronger than rationality. Unless you communicate to them on an emotional level, you'll not get far without pure luck.
In all seriousness, palm reading is a great trick to use when picking up girls, including strangers on cold approach. It gets in immediate kino and most girls are far from skeptical about these things, and is a good way to get talking about their dreams and passions, which really opens them up very quickly. It's one of the best opener techniques in my experience.
Are there any non-physical media sources that provide a real selection of losslessly compressed music? On my system I can hear the difference between many 192 kb/s mp3s and the CD version, and in a few cases, even 256 (I used the abchr tool to do blind testing). I strongly prefer to have lossless version of music, and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone
Fuel cells do not have internal combustion engine's efficiency limitation. And you don't have to stick to alcohols either, as there are gasoline fuel cells in the works.

How about you RTFA, asshole? The device was developed by a LANL scientist and even won an award from the Federal Laboratory Consortium for Technology Transfer. Obviously it's legit
Mod parent down; his post is misinformation! A nuclear thermoelectric battery of this size cannot generate anything close to the 27 MW of this device. The Hyperion 'battery' is in fact a reactor as claimed.
I, a Canadian, was in Paris in the summer of 2004 and was treated dismally. Other parts of France, and the 9 other countries I visited, however, were just fine. I have no explanation, but some of my friends had similar experiences.
You're such an ignorant idiot. High resolution real-time ray tracing of complex scenes has been done on clusters and specialized hardware for over a decade.
Screen resolution, as a 2D thing, grows slower than scene resolution, a 3D thing. And ray tracing scales better than raster graphics with scene complexity.
As someone that has published in computer graphics journals, I say you are stupid and don't know what you're talking about. Oh wait, this is slashdot! Where those that are stupid and don't know what they're talking about are the ones accusing others of the same:rolleyes:
This is ludicrous. Rays can be traced forward from lights as well and cached onto say surfaces as in photon mapping, or combined with various other methods to provide a physically correct global illumination.
By the way, UBC > SFU, and prof. Heidrich is the top graphics researcher in Canada:P

That quote is by Robert Browning, not Burns...
Eight is not "nearly a dozen"; it's a mere 2/3 of it.
Hmm, angle brackets were removed by the software. I had a not-equal sign between "believer" and "stupid".

Twice as much time? Where are you getting this number from? More like 3 hours vs 12.
Where are you going to get enough copper to wind electric motors to replace every gasoline engine on the road? Keep daydreaming.
Indeed, science can be used in philosophical arguments that make it almost certain there is no god. See prof. Q.Smith's works on the subject http://www.qsmithwmu.com/philosophy_of_religion.htm

Funny, but you wrote "principal" whereas you should have typed "principle". It's neither a typo nor a misspelling, but a grammatical mistake.

Seconded! UT99 was close, but only because it's multiplayer and because of the creative mods many servers installed.
hate most everything that MS has put out which isn't an OS
What about Visual Studio? I'd say that's Microsoft's best product, and the major product they make that has no competitors of similar quality.
Surely the assays are not public information. How would the insurance companies know the results?
What's the difference with GSM?

Tritium deficiency is a non-issue, since ITER will produce plenty of it.
