I'm talking out of my ass here, but I'm guessing the reason we don't see many PDA like devices with USB ports is because of the power requirments in the spec.
Don't we _all_ dislike the NYT reg required thing?? It's not like the're usually the first/best source for the stories we get, anyway./. should stop posting NYT articles, or work out an argreement like Google has with them.
I personly like the old idea, that a Kg is one liter of water, one liter = 10Cm^3. The article mentioned this was discarded because of the dificulty of working with water. Still, it has a lot of elegance, and links nicley with the concept of temurature.
Top of my head, possibly wrong answer; Blackholes slowly evaporate over time, due to the Hawking Effect. As a hole loses mass, the effect goes faster. The amount of mass used in these experiments will result in a hole that evaporates in a tiny fraction of a second. In that short a span, there is not enough time to pull in enough mass to stop the evaporation.
I still would not like to know the exact time of this experiment:-).
Given the quality of released (old) ground images, and the fact that their wouldn't be any distortion,I would guess a visible light image would be very high resolution.
The article mentioned the next step as trying to use sound waves to do it instead of bullets. I seems plausible that this might not take a very large energy souce for some interesting applications.
Interesting fact; Newton was a real dick. His "If I have seen further, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants" was addressed to Robert Hooke,a hunchback, in response to a request for credit for Hooke's work.
Correct. Saddam probably moved them to other countries, like say, Syria. Good thing we'll be bombing them next.
Your willingness to belive an obvious lie is stunning. I'm as happy as anyone to see Saddam's reign over, but he did not have WMD, had no connection to Bin Laden (or to any international terrorisim, beyond funds for PLO bombers families), and was not planning to suddenly rise up and destroy the U.S.
The great thing about Quartz (and I suppose Longhorn), is that all the eye-candy is offloaded onto the video card, which usually just sits there doing nothing with a traditional desktop.
The first time I watched a semi-transparent DVD window minimize, and stay playing while minimizing and in the dock, I was, like, wow.
I don't care that the Sharp units run Linux either
I don't know what you would use one of these for, but I have a iPAQ H3900 running linux that has wireless, Apache, Grass, SSH, nmap, and a host of other usefull packages. I can stick it in my bag/cargo pants, and forget about it, unlike a notebook. Truth be told, I played with WinCE for about 3 minutes when I got the thing, but I have a hard time beliving it could come close to this level of functionality.
Of course, if I actually wanted to use it to keep track of my hectic schedule, I'd stick with WinCE.

NVidia's Cg language is a C like language for GPUs. You can download the compiler and examples from nvidia. Writing for a GPU is not trivial, though, and getting the best use out of it requires quite a bit of knowledge about how a GPU works.
In my UT days, on a large instagib map, I could reguraly walk away with 50 kills, 0 deaths. This get one accused of cheating a lot. In the year that I was playing several hours a day, I only ever saw 3 or 4 cheaters, and they were obvious.
IFAIC, the only possible way to spot a cheater is by spectating. Ignore how fast his reflexes are, and look at his strategy. Does he do a route that runs by all the pickups? Does he look behind himself a lot? Does he play smart? Then he's probably not cheating.
To get a cheat free server, admins should find players that visit a lot and arn't jerks and give them admin rights. Simple.

I have a hard time making up my mind about Bush. Is he an idiot, or isn't he? I'm leaning towards idiot.
The romans were absolute barbarians with a refined asthetic, much like Nazis.
a) are correct.
b) still sound like an idiot.
It's much easier to hear your reasoning if you don't come off sounding like an arrogant 12 year old.
Outside of the PC world, there are several machines that are capable of basic networking in the BIOS. DHCP, ping, TFTP, etc. Even as far back as '93.

Well, since this is PostScript we're talking about, lots of more usefull things have already been done, hence the need for something useless.
'Damn' should be capitalized, 'nazi's' should be 'nazis', and you need a comma between 'way' and 'shape'.

You, Mr/Ms. 673722, are what's known on /. as a 'karma whore', and should be punished severly.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but I did read that in a pretty authorative souce (The Gaurdian). If you could link to some more info, that'd be good.

P.S. The 9/11 bomers all came from Saudi Arabia.

1)Dude! Your list of 'cheating' offences is funny, but you're just encouraging those idiots!
2) Dude! You need to get some practice!
XBox Live, being a MS invention, will never offer anything that MS doesn't get money for. 3rd party mods? Forget it.
