And now my keychain. FYI, don't even try to drill through the cermic package. Boy will you feel stupid if you do. A 30,000 RPM dremel barely even marred it!
I attend UW Oshkosh in Wisconsin, a public college of about 10,000 students. All the dorms have 10 megabit ethernet for internet connections. Well, one day about a month ago I was busy surfing the web when my connection just stopped working. After much fruitless effort to get it to work again, I hear a nock on my door. Two IT guys say I was caught sharing copyrighted software (AutoCAD) and made me disable file-sharing in Kazaa while they watched. I was so disturbed by this Orwellian situation that I called the IT department and asked how I was found to be sharing copyrighted files. The guy says that a third party informs them of the IP adress of useres they find sharing, and they could obviously tell exactley what dorm room it belonged to. So had this ever happend to anybody else?

Graphic chips are already very parallel. The newest ones have eight seperate identical pipelines, and in theory every pixel could be rendered simultaneously.
Baxter had this Idea in Vacuum Diagrams. Some civilization built an artifact that stored data thermally, and its capacity would actually increase as the Universe cooled.
Hell, I thought being able to afford $7,000 shower curtains meant you had "enough" money, but I guess not!
Yes, there is such a thing as "enough money" reached when all reasonable material needs and wants are met, and I would say that this happens long before the point where you take your private jet to your private Island were you have your driver drive you in your million dollar Maybach car (when Rolls-Royce just isn't elitist enough for you!) to your eigth multi-million dollar mansion to eat what your private chef cooked for you.
The imaginary "molecular nanotechnology" is like having a fully automatic 3-axis CNC mill, while the current "nanotech" is like a blacksmith hammering away. Its all a matter of sophistication.
Funny, I always thought that the weight came from the large lead plates and the size from the volume of sulfuric acid needed. But your explanation makes MUCH more sense!
As the proud owner of an otes card (bought to replace my damn defective Gainward POS), I can say that the fan is not really that BIG, it just spins really FAST, like 7200 RPM! It's kinda noisy, but you get used to it.

HYPERBAR, WITH THE HYPERBAR DEEP-DIVER-SYSTEM SWISS DIVER WATCHES REACHES A DEPTHS 12000 METERS / 39600 FEET.
For sure you recognized already that the inside the HYPERBAR watch except a more or less a small bubble, is completely filled out with a liquid. More precisely all the components, including the movement are plunged in this liquid.
Only the patented filling system (patent no. CH686989B5) makes the incredible durability possible, tested and certified by EGI - Swiss Federal Inspectorate of Dangerous Materials, test report no. 102433.
Besides, the HYPERBAR Deep Diver System is based on a simple physical principle, which starfish and sea-urchins are making use of for millions of years already: the incompressibility of the liquid. These aborigines of the sea are consisted of a texture, permeable to the water surrounding them. That means: The pressure from the outside will be equalized by the same pressure from the inside, equivalent a force zero, which for the starfish and the sea-urchin means not more and less than surviving in a few thousand meters / ten thousand feet.
Adapting this system into a wrist watch seems to be a relatively simple, nevertheless it took us years of research and development until the realization. One of our major tasks was to choose, test and harmonize very carefully all the different components and materials. Besides, for the case of the HYPERBAR watch it was of course impossible to be permanent as a starfish. That means we had to mix a liquid which was A stable under all conditions and B at the same time digestible for all the material and components.
I have a Fossil titanium that says its waterproof to 200 meters/660 feet, wich I find to be rather impressive. And the back is screw-in, so it should still be pretty good after the battery is changed.
The most ridiculous watch I wver saw was one that was filled with silicone oil or some such fluid. It was good to 20,000 feet or so IIRC!

Man, what is she like 24 and they're already that low?!?! I see a certian surgury in her future.
Man, you need to get a job in marketing, you have some great ideas!
Actually, the danger is part of the appeal for these personality types. Hell, ever heard of BASE jumping? Effing Insane.

It sets up very unrealistic expectations.
But just think of their dissapointment...

Wow, I got 400KB/s from that link. That is a new record for me.
I always wondered why propellers arn't coated with a super hard ceramic coating or are nitrided or something.

UM, why couldn't we just refridgerate the chips using things like vapochill?
What about silicon germanium or even indium phosphide? If it becomes neccesary, it will be done!

Transhumanism/Transhumanists are what you are reffering to, I believe.
