He sure does move quick as a little green dude in the earlier movies.
How quick could he move when he was even younger?

Drafting GPL3
·
· Score: 1
Worldwide is a pretty big statement..how many governments have signed the GPL3 into the.\ law? How many governments will not be recognized until after the GPL is released? Just my two cents and not trying to troll.
Metrics are a tricky beast. Does it require more electricity or less electricity to produce a fuel that will produce an amount of electricity? In other words, does it harness the biological forces for electricity or is it still a negative gain?
Congress has passed law stating the tires on your car will need to have pressure sensors in your tire. Currently this is accomplished with RFID technology. Moving disks don't like wires or scraping brushes.
So, if you have new tires on your car two years from now, people will still be able to track you.
Everyone talks about safety, but I see this as an Orwellian dream. Every vehicle can be tracked. Speeding tickets can be given if you cross two RFID sensors too soon...currently being done for toll road transponsers. Who needs cameras at traffic lights when you can now record which tire crossed the intersection line. The options are limitless.
I seem to remember a problem with soil nutrients going up in smoke. There are all types of studies pointing to the reduction of top soil. That is why farmers have to rotate crops, add fertilizer, etc.
The grass pellets may sound good now, but may have some serious down side.
I did not start this as flame bait, but I will finish it as such.
From the parent:
"Many have expressed concern that Microsoft is forcing the next generation of console hardware too early, and that the current generation still has much to achieve."
To me this says, "Microsoft is being innovative, and the others do not want/ cannot compete. They feel they can get more profit from the older systems before they have to move on."
You say: Since Sony has a fab plant, they are original. Since Microsoft only has software, marketing and lawyers; they are not origninal. Who's fab plant are they using if it is not their own? Could it be a second tier plant in Taiwan or Mainland China? If Sony exceeds demand to production, could it be the same plants they will use?
You are so boring and tiring. I am sure that it is interesting to know that every two years, Microsoft will have a new hardware tweak for xbox, but that will put them behind the power curve. PS3 is already over due and to have xbox compete with them in a year is ludicrous. The market will eventually assume a rythem of xbox, then sony, then xbox, maybe nintendo, but definately sony..etc.
First, Microsoft is slammed for not being innovative and meeting market needs. Now Microsoft is slammed for being too innovative. I know this is Slashdot, but I sense a pattern. Whether you love or hate Microsoft, fast graphics and awesome games stand on their own merit.
For the parent poster, I am sorry you will have to buy a new system from Microsoft to be in the latest crowd. If this bothers you, just wait six more months and buy a PS3 so you can use your current games on the (then) latest system.
I have an idea.... I take the $20 or so dollars plus shipping and handling and buy a real pizza. I then eat the pizza and wrap my laptop in the napkins which came with the pizza for cushioning (also, protect from residual grease).
Now, it really looks like a pizza box (it is one), smells like a pizza box, and has made my tummy oh so happy.
"Also, the FAA will be able to regulate certain aspects of the vehicles if they prove to be dangerous."
What part of going into space and the vehicles which carry us there is not dangerous?
So, you are saying they still get to regulate everything.

Damn, Even with an equal share for each site...that is almost 9 million dollars per site. If I got in last year, I would have been almost 20 million richer.

Bill is just attempting to insure his shares of Intel go up since there is no real need for this type of power on a desktop. How else are you going to insure everyone (anyone) will buy this type of powerpc in the corporate world. Unless Ultimate 4 or Half Life 5 or something else made of fairy dust hits the gamer market, few will buy this type of system except for bragging rights.
Just modify your neighbor's dog's nose like they did for the F-5. Hell, Darpa might even give you a grant to test it out. Just use the word "Taliban" a few time in the Project description.
I am a Nigerian national who has approximately: 500 to 800 wireless, solar-powered PDA's based on embedded Linux. These PDAs run kernel 2.4.19 on a 206MHz StrongARM SA-1110. Each system has 64MB of RAM. (Display not included)
Saddly, they were imprisoned in metal cases by my dastardly cousin who sold them to the City of Montreal.
If you would send me $1100 for a sledge hammer and airplane ticket to free my property, I would gladly repay you with half of my stolen goods.
Please do not inform the authorities as they will most certainly move my property to another city.
I can't even name the sound cards (uh, chips) that came with my motherboards, but they work like a champ. Why do I care if there are a couple of thousand Brand name cards that don't work with Linux.
I am not sure about definitions of "the public." If a currntt version of a V-2 Rocket explodes at 40k, no one dies. If the nuclear powered rockets (requires other licenses, and friends, than FAA) explodes on take off, maybe a few thousand die. I said the last for effect since the public is definately a few billion.
If we report a few thousand deaths, it is a statistic, but one death is a tragedy. Defining the "Public" has too much sound bite.
I found MIT's Linear Algebra quite useful when I was taking a similar class from a Prof nicknamed "The Cobra." I believe he could erase faster than he wrote or talked. He always answered a question exactly how he previously explained it, but in a louder voice. Naturally, he selected a book with recursive examples (page 1...perform these three steps, page 7...refer to page 1 example and perform these two additional steps, etc.) I think I lost it before the first 200 pages. I did a web search and found Dr. Strang's class in real media and watched every bit. I did not get an A (or B)in the class, but I was failing before watching the vids and passed the class in the end.
This was before the whole OCW thing started and may have been one of their test cases to show how good online learning can be. Anyway, it worked for me.
I know everyone is excited about the chip that uses almost no power to act as a radar. However, unless they re-write a few laws of physics, I thought the range of a radio signal was dependent upon its power with a few other environmental factors thrown in. Did I miss something, or has no one stated the range of this device yet?
Multi-billion dollar budget and this is for the "bragging rights". Please!!!! If they let go a few crumbs as a prize for.... say, $100k at the end of the year for the best ranked.... you could not beat the takers off with a stick.
Just my two cents...since Darpa won't give me $100k...or 2 dollars. I want my two dollars.

But without validation, they are exactly worth what was paid for them.
The simulations would be ones and zeros.
Unfortunately, the test would be base on a real accident. Obviously, it would be historical and not planned as an event.
However, crash test dummies are based on tragedies already taken place. They would be a good start since we do not want to repeat history.
A trillion simulations will always be outweighed by one real test.
