God dammit. Why are there still so many of you Americans that can't see the fucking elephant in front of you?
'My Pet Goat', Flights of Saudis, Bin Laden not caught and 'not a priority', Supreme Court in Florida 2000, Diebold campaign donations/memos, leaked source code, paperless machines with no backup, WMD, anthrax, terror level = 'elevated'. Shunning of 'Unpatriotic' reporters, the PATRIOT act, the 'war president' who failed military obligations vs. a 'weak on terrorisim' multi-decorated veteran. Lower taxes for the wealthy, social programs cut, insane spending levels on war, no economic plan in sight.
Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies.
What, exactly, will be the straw that breaks the camels back? Stop gazing lovingly at your constitution and have another fucking revolution already.
Most materials do the same. There are very few liquids that don't subliminate in a vacum.

I was a vegetarian for years. Now I eat meat, because it's really tasty. I don't see a moral argument purely against the eating of meat by Homo Sapiens.
I fish, and my freezer has some venision my neigbour bagged last week. I live in a rural setting in BC, and many out here only eat meat they or their friends catch. It's not that we're romanticizing killing, but refusing to divorce ourselves from the killing.
I know there are many hunters out there that don't frame it the same way, but it's still better than buying a plastic wrapped chunk of flesh and pretending it's not.
I belive a carbonated beverage container is rated for 120psi, but rated is not the same as the pressure it actually bursts at. Still, i don't see one going to 870 psi.
It's thought that for a time after a pole shift, the Earths magnetic field weakens or disapears. Ignoring the huge consequences to life as we know it that that entails, it should make for a great light show.
The magnetic poles have been measurably accelerating over the last several years, from ~10 kmh to ~40kmh, maybe it's time. It's moving north though. I recently did some research on just this subject, and it's quite suprising just how little is known. We don't know for sure why the Earth has a magnetic field, we don't know why it flips, and we don't know what it will mean when it does happen.

Actually, we know quite a bit about it; it's mostly cold, empty space, with huge distances and everything interesting stuck at the bottom of a gravity well, making exploiting it massivly expensive. Still, I agree with your guns vs. research argument.
dslinux.com has nothing. No DS. No code. No threads. Oh, but it does have google ads, and a affiliate link to preorder a DS. You've posted a link to dslinux 3 times in this article. You're spamming, go away.
Because the two options available to 'do better' are politicly unsellable.
Drasticly raise the number of troops, probably requiring the draft, and suppress Iraq. Commit to many years of nation-building, if that's even possible.
Take all needed steps to get a high level of international help. I can't imagine this is possible, but it at least would take grovelling to the UN.
I'm not American. I don't know what country you live in. Whatever country it is, your upcoming election (if you do that kind of thing) doesn't mean anything compared to this one.
That said, as long as the US doesn't have a civil war, it would be interesting if the politics section broadened out a bit.
The US has been mucking around in almost every countries political system for 50 years, and you're pissed of because a non-american says he doesn't like Bush?
Traffic density per km of road. One it passes a certain amount, traffic slows down. Or maybe a stripped down collision detection, that only triggers when the centers of two objects get too close. Most large-scale 'simulations' use shortcuts like this. Modelling collision detection on the level of fenders bumping into each other (what started this thread), would be very expensive.
Many modern 3D games have great collision detection, since the development of algorithims that combine the rendering and collision detection. This only is applied to objects that are going to be rendered anyway, so is useless for simulation.
Because FPS gamers can't carry packs. They don't have the shoulders for it.
Seriously, you're mostly right. A week of playing counterstrike teaches you what works(mostly), and what doesn't (always) work. It teaches you to think where the enemy might be, rather where you last saw him, and to be aware of cover, escape routes, sight lines, etc.
Collision detection has come a long way since you last looked.:-) Smarter algorithims don't check every object against every other, usually using a binary-tree or something to keep things orginized.
In the context of this game, collision detection is not needed, as it is simulating larger scale stratagy.
Multi-core dies generate less heat than that number of processrs, and the trend is to use low-power/lower-speed chips. This means that the computer on your desk in a year or two (hopefully) will not need noisy/expensive cooling, and will draw much less power than current models.
I know it's not a multicore device, but this is an example of what's possible. 36 Gflops @ 220 Watts. (24 Gigs RAM, 1TB storage, $10,000) I want one.

Some interesting info

I would imagine many American readers might not be laughing.

Solid-state gyros, no less. One of many exiting new bits of tech coming soon to a store near you!
For most people, that benchmark is opening up hotmail account, or something like it.
