I'm shocked he didn't have this figured out before he plunked the $2B down for turbines.
Isn't high voltage DC the thing to do these days for sending power long distance? Is this a technical issue or a land rights issue? People not wanting HV pylons in their backyards.
Semiconductor processes are still top-down. They still rely on etching, generate lots of waste, and not all atoms are accounted for. When they're built in precise arrangements using molecular building blocks from the bottom up, that will be proper 'Drexlerian' nanotech.
Please. Who came up with 'hard drive'?
A hard disk drive is hard. A floppy disk drive is hard. An optical disk drive is hard.
A hard disk is hard. A floppy disk is floppy.
...the Oklahoma House of Representatives encourages the University of Oklahoma to engage in an open, dignified, and fair discussion of the Darwinian theory of evolution and all other scientific theories...
This, and the bit about cultural diversity is BS pure and simple. If they didn't have a problem with scientific theories then Dawkins wouldn't be a problem to them.
If I had the opportunity to have children who were smarter, faster, stronger, and with laser eyes, I would do it in a heartbeat.
you obviously never had to discipline a kid having a tantrum or being mouthy just for the fun of it. When you take away his xbox and he burns your head off with his laser eyes, don't say I didn't warn ya.
If MS really wants to go for it, they have enough cash to ride out any downturn. They can re-tweak the Zune design till it clicks with the public.
This happened before with Windows CE and Palm. Palm had a solid lock on the handheld market, but MS kept dogging them, and Palm kept screwing up, till MS overtook them in the market.
This discussion sounds like pure pundit BS. I still find it hard to believe that MS chose to lay off staff, with all the money they have laying around. 'Tis the season, I guess.
Yes, but SSDs are slow at random writes - to the point that it negates the benefits of random reads leaving you with a system about the same speed as harddrives.
An asteroid big enough to wipe out a city would also set fires to surrounding area, sending black smoke into the atmosphere. Cutting incoming sunlight for everyone. Not many threats are so small as to be completely ignored on the global scale.
All it would take is people having sort of similar hallucinations, then getting together and talking about them, and getting into a nice group-think about the whole thing.
You can use science to shutdown arguments against life after death all you want, but when it comes down to it, no one knows anything for sure.
Tell you what. There's a one million dollar prize offered (good for a couple years yet) by www.jref.org if you can substantially demonstrate a paranormal phenomenon. So, all you have to do is use the belief in life after death to gain some kind of useful knowledge that couldn't have been obtained otherwise.
What's that, you say? Doesn't work that way? Belief in afterlife yields no useful knowledge? Nothing at all? No real clues to murders, family tragedies? No hints on where Jimmy Hoffa's buried? Hmmm. Sounds like a bit of a wank-off, then.

Errr... if you're using a light, you're not riding in the dark.
Do they run on AC current?

And what it the human body 97% made of ?
If you're talking about water, it's more like 70%.

Would a Microsoft Bridge be a complete waste of taxpayer money? No. Are there other projects that would be more beneficial to the public? Yes.

You are correct. It's basically a promo of the city with a glimpse of an artist's conception of the johnny cab, but nothing in-depth.

Yeah, but it's nonvolatile.
oh, wait...
Just wondering... did MS do the Zune all in-house, or did they farm the firmware job out to an engineering house?
In Superman: The Movie (1978), an early scene shows the young boy climbing out of a smoking meteor, and standing up naked.
Even if the Simpsons cartoon failed this test, the Superman movie would have to be edited to avoid the kiddie porn label in some countries.
