If you look at the second link, the mini actually uses an FPGA: " The core functionality of the original NES is engineered directly into an Altera Cyclone V, a sophisticated FPGA.".

If you look at the nasa mars airplane web page: http://marsairplane.larc.nasa.gov/, there is no mention of 'hunting for life'. The whole search for life on mars story is just for the proles and the media.
The only reason Microsoft cares about this botnet because it "was responsible for sending 651 million spam e-mails to Hotmail addresses over an 18-day period last month".
I think this whole 'signs of life' headline is just spin to get people interested in what would otherwise be a very dry story. I.e. it is there so that the media has a catchy sound-bite.
I remember back when the mars rovers made the news, you could count on the phrase 'signs of life' to be in the headline, or in the first sentence summary.
I don't believe that nasa thinks there is a solid chance of life being discovered, it is more of something that they can say to sell funding for scientific instruments to politicians.
It was at this point that I began to suspect that the pages Facebook is presenting me are not, in fact, always generated by Facebook's servers, but instead can be cobbled together from any number of sites and servers located anywhere, and that these sites all exchange data transparently with Facebook.
Yes this is true, when you use an app that is developed outside of facebook, the facebook server directs the web request to the external website's callback url. Facebook then includes the website's output within the facebook page. fb app developers have a choice of putting this output in an iframe, or within the canvas of the fb page via fbml. That's why you are getting cross site javascript, etc.
I just had a look at the $15 a month plans on slicehost and tektonic. They each offer 256MB of RAM for that price. How many user sessions could you support with that much RAM, though? What would be the minimum to run MySQL?
The reason music sales are down is because there are cooler new things to buy. Things like movies, broadband and pay tv. Most people I know buy more movies on dvd than cd's. But then again most people I know have never bought music online, they would use a 'free' service.
Music just isn't the main form of entertainment any more. Music companies shouldn't expect to get the margins they used to for plain old audio.

Apple profit: $5.5 billion

Upvote the parent, it's about the only post in this discussion with actual information.
Notice the steep rise in incarcerations after declaring the war on drugs.
But haven't the huge drops in crime rates been correlated with the increases in prison populations?

How do you implant leaves with gold? Without removing them from the trees?
Reflective displays are obviously not the solution in bright light situations.

Wow. That's the first obvious troll I have seen on slashdot with a rating of "4, insightful". Awesome, if a little ensaddening.
"In what will be the first fusion power facility that's commercially viable".
Even changing the 'will' to 'may' would be wrong.
Does it have any server-class hardware? e.g. ECC ram? If not, it shouldn't really be called a server.
In my day, we did 2 by 18! And we were grateful if we were given a rock to chew on at break times!

No they were talking about Farnsworth type devices, see Inertial electrostatic confinement

Which leaves whom? Does China may have regions good power supply (from nukes or the three gorges dam)?
einhverfr, Can you please post an example of a magic comment? Sounds interesting.
