A blackhole all alone only has hawking radiation to get out. However, since the article talks about clusters, surely there would be some fragments sent out if there was a collision between blackholes.
In another thing, no matter how large the blackhole is, it is still dwarfed by the galaxy it resides in - isn't it just as likely that the galaxies exist simply because there is a large amount of building material around - just like lots of planets are built around a sun with lots of dust.
The navigator is still a vital member of any crew (sea or air) The craft still needs to be guided around storms and populated centres and away from trouble. He has to locate and guide the pilot to the nearest base or strip in an emergency.
GPS does not instantly solve these kind of problems.
Bullshit. Planes flew before GPS and they somehow managed to arrive at their destinations. Trucks deliver goods all the time. Walmart employees might get lost going to the toilet, but thats not actually critical.
Recently I have been forced to use a whole lot more just to run stupid Visual Studio.net Even if I gave that thing its own cryogenically cooled 6000 core super processor it would still leave it feeling slow.
There is nothing wrong with having a unique identifier for distinguishing between your customers. It should be public and fixed, it means that you can distinguish between two different 43 year old John Does from Queens (incidentally, they share a house).
The problem is not that it is unique, it is that banks assume it is private. There is no magic number a user can type into the keyboard with which a bank can tell if a user is being honest in their responses. *
Before you say but people can lie and give false information; they do that already and have done that since before we had this extra automatic part of our name.
Incidentally, how would you distinguish between the twins I mentioned earlier?
* Thinking about this, I wonder if when Trusted computing comes in the banks will begin to look at the ISPs for a list of known corrupt/hacked/blacklisted machines to get a thuthyness report on the machine, machines which are used to rip people off become blacklisted and you cannot perform financial things from them.
I like the internet, I use it an awful lot, but for most uses I cannot see needing an Office package to be online. It will be nice as a compliment though for those very rare occasions.
It looks like a normal posted flyer. Given all the other stuff he has I bet the baseline Linux machine will be the toilet one. Or the one he threatens his kids with:
"Screw around on teh internets and you will use Linux for the rest of the week"
Having said that, its REALLY good Dell are actually selling machines, the specified model just looks crap compared to the other kit on the page.
They might have shipped 100gazillian disks but if they are sat in a distribution warehouse in each respective country then that could explain the difference.
The guy was pretty clearly upto "something". He covered his windows with cardboard and proceeded to browse.
Sure its trumped up, but police would rather waste time with this. All they should have done is moved him along. If the guy had been a truck driver resting in his cab (essentially the same) he wouldn't have been arrested for anything (unless they saw his laptop).
I remember playing WMV files using proper media player ends up storing traces in Internet Explorers history list. Strange considering I was using firefox.
The Star Egyptia towered over the sky, from the far reaches of the empire would look up at the stars and teach their children where it came from. One night, it went nova.
The Egyptian outlanders throughout the galaxy built huge temples to honour the billions dead from their home system. The dead on these worlds would rest in similar surroundings.
There is a thriving Egyptian Linux user community out there. We don't hear as much as we should do, but that's likely to be a language barrier rather than technological. Its much like knowing there is a great Chinese internet population, but a totally different (and relatively rare) thing to speak to 'native' folks without much Western custom imparted.
I hope Googles auto-translation thing hits the spot.
They just bought themselves the webstats for however millions more websites. Every time a person downloads a webpage, the chances are google knows about it.
They know:
Who you are talking to. What you are searching for. What you are looking at. Where you are interested in. When you are doing things.
No wonder they want to give free wifi, Brin and Page are information vampires.
I believe since its sci-fi related set on an alien world it is easier to differentiate than with a real world scenario (gta/postal being examples against)
I have let my son play unreal type games for a long time but have no qualms about steering him from playing GTA.
No, what I mean is, just because we now have a genetic line between t-rex and birds in general, that does not mean that every dinosaur is linked to birds. That is like taking a single generic sampling nowadays and taking that as representative of every living creature.
Why would we assume *all* dinosours evolved from birds?
Its entirely feasible for a large proportion to go that way, but a brontosaurus or triceratops are closer to being a whale than a pre-prehistoric A380.
I believe they made sure they only looked at the more expensive ones.
The drives had to have multiple connection technologies (USB 2.0 plus FireWire 400 or FireWire 800 or both), include backup software and have a capacity of at least 500GB.
Your $135 works out at about $0.27 per GB which is very nice.

Please do not follow the advice of the parent.
The residents of the one remaining unmonitored street would be annoyed.

Can't we just give the processes weapons and let them decide which follows?

I wonder if this could be used (at close range to reduce errors) for the only remaining analog hole
The MPAA will be furious!

Buy the $100 laptop.
Get cheap MS software.

Profit!

I use gmail for most things, but keep a outlook express setup for my ISP mail and hotmail.
Does Thunderbird allow hotmail connections (which aren't quite pop and are technically meant to be phased out eventually)?
Is shipped the same as sold?

George Bush's family are preparing a statement:
"Nerrrrr nerrrrr told you we were better!!!"
No, the router sends out periodic advertisements telling any clients who it is and what protocol it supports.
"Internet, get your internet here"
