I have been using computers since the early 80s. Things like the HP2114, Varian 77 and other stuff that never saw the light of civilian day. My I7 with 16GB ram boots no faster nor gets into a usable state than the HP2114 with 8k of core memory and used discrete components to construct a CPU.
Will they be able to process more data, yeah probably but that won't matter cause they'll just be given more data to munch so you will still need more machines. And so the cycle goes.
Bureaucracy is a dirty word, the more there is the less efficient. It has been discussed endlessly citing many examples from businesses and government. Though I do agree there are those and it is not limited to the corporate world that think cheating the taxpayers is the way to go.
then quit your bellyaching and fix it whiner. Its not like they use closed source proprietary nebulous document formats.
Slashdot articles have gone into the toilet.
Why yes, yes it is nothing more than a rehash of the old days where dumb terminals connected to a mainframe. Sometimes those dumb terminals were connected via terrestrial microwaves or phone lines. Now where did I put my 3270 and where did I put my modified termcap file for a vt220.
I like how they try their hardest to pretend to themselves and present to others how the science is settled. If it were such a settled fact they would not need to repeatedly tell us all how right they are and oh not need to monkey with the numbers to justify.
You mean the raw data that was "adjusted" to make it not seem so hot in years past so today's weather could be claimed as warming? Please tell me another lie you lying bastards. Science indeed by any other name is just a pseudo rose. Wake me up when your climate models can predict within.01% what the weather will be like for the next year. Till then keep on massaging your data-sets and lying to yourselves.
Took you dumb asses this long to figure that out? All you need to do is visit some place like oh I don't know, lets say Black Mountain NC. Lots of tree huggers there, funny at seeing the unexpected large numbers of H2/H3 and the like in peoples driveways. To say I am in shock and awe is to lie.
Well you are not a rocket scientist so would not understand. Trying to use everyday situations to justify your experience is not a factor because you see, you don't carry your gas stove with you on high altitude climbs.
New technologies, once exciting for the sake of newness, now seem like hassles. I'm less and less tolerant of hokey marketing filled with superlatives.
Really? What to you so long? I reached that point long ago, like the last part of the last century.
The crux of it is this in your statement; "...settled enough". There are still many things we do not fully understand about gravity and your 97 astrophysicists would understand they do not have all the answers.
The three remaining astrophysicists would get run over at the next zebra crossing next to the nearest black hole. Which would serve them right for being an asshats to think they have all the answers.
Welcome to the new age where dipships mascarading as researchers redefine much of what we know; I'll not feel sorry for them when they get run over at the next zebra crossing.
you forgot to include my farts while swimming in the ocean contributing to global warming/climate change or whatever you dipshits are calling now. How much data did you have to manipulate to conform to your religion?
Predicting what will happen does not mean you have interpreted a phenomenon correctly; it is only accurate as you understand it and not necessarily the map as being a true representation of the territory.
Well that's a large part of the problem, isn't it? Alternative power sources that are most importantly the things you state?
From a producing electron flow as the primary means point of view, we are still using 1800s technology; steam. Imagine that, as technologically advanced as some think we are our main method to produce electricity relies on boiling water.
Until we can figure out a way that does it in a different way without the need for mechanical transformations its just substituting one inefficient method for non reliable methods.

That is why I say it really doesn't matter. Software bloat as you say gobbles up much of the progress.

Because those are hisrequirements and there is nothing wrong with that but it is to you so don't use open source. See your problem is solved.
then quit your bellyaching and fix it whiner. Its not like they use closed source proprietary nebulous document formats. Slashdot articles have gone into the toilet.
tell them to piss off. These are privately own CD/DVD and a person can rip what they want.
Um if you read TFA it says Google is using code that was discontinued years ago. So one has to ask Google how they could be so stupid.
that would be racist.
the guy who's whole business model is dependent on companies buying used hardware.
Just use a piece of fairy cake.
I still get that problem with firefox + flash. They all suck.

Thor has always been a male demigod. They are just pandering at this point.

A lot two dollar words to simply say; I added more surface area to the side of the pot.
Instead of voiding the warranty Tesla should encourage the activity and request details of any successful hack so any security issues can be fixed.
