"Now how they do that and who that's going to be I can't tell you in this audience," he said at the unclassified conference.
Doesn't this wording imply that they have a specific enemy in mind whom they actually expect a war with? Maybe it's China, maybe it's little green men in flying saucers, but this sounds like sabre rattling to me. Then again, maybe it's just bad reporting.
A few years ago, I saw a TV report about a British inventor who had discovered something very similar by mixing a cocktail of chemicals together. There were several big chemical companies trying to buy it from him, but because they were only offering him a fraction of what it was worth, he was keeping it to himself. He reckoned the rate at which it radiated heat grew exponentially with temperature, so it never got hot.
According to this presentation, it runs at 200MHz. It's refreshing to see someone taking this approach, rather than insane clock frequency/power dissipation. I'll be impressed, though, if real application software can use it efficiently.
I am not an aerospace engineer, but even I know that all the simulation, wind tunnel tests and design experience is not enough to guarantee that you can get a plane right first time. This is why they build prototypes and put them through rigorous flight trials before deciding that they are ready to fly.
They obviously have a requirement for how far back the centre of gravity can be, flew a test flight to check this requirement and it failed, so they fix the problem and build a new prototype. This is no different to any other aerospace project. Implying that they are incompetent because of this is both arrogant and uninformed.
The casinos do not care if you win or lose - all they care about is that they win. It is necessary that people occasionally win, otherwise nobody would play. They don't care whether it's you, or someone you saw. The odds will be set so that even with the odd big payout, they still profit.
I cannot count the number of times I've been screwed just because my worthless goddamned head couldn't burn their name in the first time.
That's funny, I can't remember the number of times I haven't been screwed just because my worthless goddamned head couldn't burn their name in the first time.
This is a research project to study wearable computing, and associated fields, such as augmented reality. I doubt they have any intention of trying to sell it to people like you. This kind of thing could be very useful for field technicians, soldiers, paramedics - all sorts of people.
I'm not against it, but what is the point of Space exploration today?
I read an article a while ago in wired about someone who had done a feasability study into retrieving minerals from asteroids, and concluded that using current technology it would often be cheaper than prospecting for new mineral seams on Earth (think about the Japanese mission to retrieve a rock sample from an asteroid). The first nation to develop this capability, by setting up a mining capability on the moon, for example, will have a massive economic advantage over the rest of the world.
The tie-up would enable appliances, cars and other gadgets worldwide that operate on the group's free TRON operating system to eventually work like personal computers.
Why would I want my car to work like a personal computer? Wouldn't it be better if my car behaved like a car?
The term "motherload" is derived from the words "mothership" and "payload", the motherload being the payload of the mothership. To clarify, adobe have opened the cargo bay doors of their mothership and jetisoned the entire cargo. There are as yet no reported fatalities, but the crater is still being searched.

Don't be so cynical. The new improved colour scheme will improve worker efficiency at least 500%.
A stunning example of slashdot wisdom. Well done!

You could reveal details of your past work experience, but then you'd have to kill them.

They're dodgy when the ground is wet, so not a great thing to rely on for commuting. Unless you live somewhere very dry, of course.

Could it be that you didn't RTFA
If there were three operating systems running, would that make it a trial boot system?

Perhaps if it were anything other than a research project, Mr Clarke might be classified as a terrorist.
Benny Hill pioneered this technology in the 70s

In order to do research into wearable computing?

You all laughed at me and my tinfoil beanie, but who's laughing now? Eh? Eh?
Don't do high energy physics experiments in your mothers microwave without taking the appropriate safety precautions

From the CIA world factbook entry on the USA:
From here you can do your own research into which international laws the US is bound by. Or am I being overly optimistic?
Nice to see the usual slashdot hate-america crowd in full force.
I was just answering the parents question.
They are illegal in the sense that there are agreed international laws which the USA is a party to.

The PDA you are looking for is a psion 5mx + cf memory card + psilinux. They're no longer in production, so look on ebay.
Try snowboarding ;-)
