    Imagine a ball, now imagine it contracts... the ball get smaller, right? This means less atmosphere radius and thus more satellites sits above it. Someone correct me if i am wrong.

    The real threat is the scaremongering about everything and anything and refusal to question status-quo in order to protect the interests of very few very rich people. Let's face it, US is fueled by fear and paranoia.

    Don't get me wrong, I love space and cannot wait to go to mars for vacation when I retire! But better this than more election coverage... As for your argument, I somehow doubt the newborns will be able to contribute to this discussion. In other news, a facebook phishing scam has been left unreported on Slashdot. I blame the editor ;-) looking forward to all of your comments here.

  14. Re:Compared to Intel's offerings, how do these com on AMD Launches Piledriver-Based 12 and 16-Core Opteron 6300 Family · · Score: 3, Informative

    Are these even desktop or server chips? It's been so long since I bought AMD, I really couldn't tell you which line Piledriver sits in anymore, or if they've consolidated them. The general gist I've read is that AMD is cheaper than Intel, and in the past has been "more green" due to power consumption, but with Ivy Bridge, your bang for the buck and much, much smaller lithography process has given intel the advantage in both areas.

    Server chips. Opteron was always, and always has been about servers.

    I am not a business owner and do not operate servers myself. For home usage, a low price CPU with adequate power will kick intel "we-cripple-all-but-i7-features" anytime in value for my $. I do not do geek pissing contests.

    Maybe we can try to cut into much less useful things first, like "PETA Condemns Pokemon For Promoting Animal Abuse". If meditation can help someone have a positive attitude, this alone can help shape the life of less fortunate. Cause happiness have nothing to do with material possessions.

    ...but the complete opposite. On a more serious note, this is the kind of story that will make me take a second look into meditation. Cant wait to enjoy massive gamma waves myself!

    "Breakthrough Promises Smartphones Radio Chip that Use Half the Power"

    Last time I checked, smartphones still have a cpu, screen, memory, etc... It would still add to longer lasting batteries, just not the whole system.

    Norad (Cheyenne Montain) can witstand a near hit nuclear detonation. A direct hit would cripple the place. If 1000× more precise gyro navigation can accomplish it, I would be enclined to believe it is a worthy upgrade.
