Are you a lawyer? Seems to me that I could sell you a license to use the Internet, for as much money as I want. The license would simply mean that I couldn't sue you for using the internet, so long as you didn't violate the terms of the license agreement. You'd be stupid to pay me, but I wouldn't be violating any laws.
No, I think they meant 10-15 seconds. That can be simplified to -5 seconds. Of course they got such improbable results! They were using a negative value for time!

Speaking of, I think I need some more espresso. I hope the hydrogen in the water I'm about to boil hasn't read this article... or 1/4 of the hydrogen atoms might suddenly dissasociate from the water and explode!
Hacking a new power supply would be easy. What I expect would be along the lines of encryption, or a Standardized 43-prong Uzbekistanian Modular Adapter for a dataport.

Uh, no. The engines push in opposite directions, parallel to eachother, on the tips of the pinwheel. Resulting in a spinning pinwheel. No air, no wind, no spin. Read the article... the pinwheel spins fine outside of the vaccuum.
For a long time, I really sucked in school. Never did homework, didn't pay attention in class, couldn't take tests. I got bad grades, and I just didn't get school. It was terrible. My parents didn't buy into the whole ADD thing, though, nor do I, really, I'm just curious, so my mind wanders as I wonder about the world around me.
Then, as a junior, I started studying Goju Karate at school, and after the quarter ended, went to another dojo of the same style. Almost immediately, my grades improved; I had learned to focus. Then, I moved to another state. After a year or so of fighting with my girlfriend, I sunk back into depression and laziness. I just moved back, and I'm trying to get back to my old focus...
I mean it, too. At the very least, don't plan on reproducing. Egalitarianism works fine 'til it gets in Darwin's way. People with strong allergies, and other genetic ailments should have the common sense to adopt. Do the species a favor, and keep her genes out of the pool.
I think this sounds like a nicely balanced law. Not only would it force Microsoft, etc., to post replies, it shouldn't effect sites like Slashdot at all -- you can already reply to anything anyway! While a post from Microsoft might get modded down, it'd be pretty easy to prove that that was an action of the readers, not the site owners, and that the post is still accessible.
If they optimize the drivers for specific apps, this could be a good thing. However, for the sake of quality, the driver should offer control of what getss optimized.
Good good good. Then I take back my original opinion of the game. I didn't see that in your planned update list. My problem was that the problem simply has too many solutions (and far too many stupid ones) for it to be challenging. Once you've got multiple I/O, though, you should probably add a place to change the number of inputs. (or it'll quickly go from too easy to impossible for me -- all I know about circuit logic is how the operators work... I'd have to open my CS book to make a half-adder)
Any way you could use white/black instead of red/blue? It took me a minute to figure out which was "on".
IMHO, That game sucks. You get a good score for excessive logic, and the logic must only translate a single input to a single output. I'd be MUCH more interested if you were given a SET of inputs and a SET of results, or a set of inputs, and a single result.
Computer game addiction is rampant. During a fit of depression, I spent approximately 2 weeks doing NOTHING at work but play Diablo 2 and hit alt-tab when the boss came around. I didn't mean to, but I had gotten into the habit of doing a Morpheus run first thing in the morning... but when I turned the game off, I got overwhelmed with work, came to slashdot, didn't find any new stories, then went back to diablo. Then when I'd have bad fights with my girlfriend (the reason I was depressed), I'd go to the office at 1 in the morning to play. Bad bad bad. A few weeks after that happened, I realized what I had been doing, and deleted all traces of diablo from my computer. I was still too much of an addict to delete my battle.net characters, but I haven't been back for over 3 months, so I'm comforted to know that I CAN'T go back to that.
OTOH, nothing breaks the stress in my office on a deadline like a 15-minute round of Unreal Tournament on one of the boards I made in my not-so-busy days. And since I've got the leeway to make levels on those not-so-busy days, I'm grateful, so more willing to stay late and work harder for deadlines.
Interesting problem. I immediately thought of a quite graceful solution, but when I read your clarification... I'm not sure it'd work. Thats quite a variance. Sounds like a string with a horkin' big knot on the end, not a nonhomogeneous rope.

Are you looking to spend $175k on your next desktop? Then no, you wouldn't care.
They're comparing a desktop-sized computer to the likes of ASCI White. ASCI White (and similar supercomputers) require huge facilities dedicated to nothing BUT those supercomputers.
Acres of floorspace. In a desktop-sized computer. And you say, "who cares"???? Bill Gates has been quoted saying "640K of memory should be enough for anybody." You laugh at that now, but at the same time, say, "what do I need more processing power for?" Well, nothing today, but if this hardware becomes standard, you won't know how you ever survived without it.
Engineer is a VERY broad term. Engineers pilot trains. Or, they design any number of things. My mom is a "noise lab engineer"; she goes around measuring how loud shit is.
An engineer might not be a programmer, but I'd say that a certain number of us are engineers.
