On air cooling AMD showed the quad-core CPU running at nearly 4.0 GHz
A highly efficient processor running at clock speeds not seen in standard pc kit since the Pentium 4 era... Sounds like they are regaining their footing to me!
Not only that but I'm sure some assurances could be made on Microsoft's end that would enable a vendor to be more willing to undertake a large project with rather unproven software.
I tried them both with Xwing, and the 66MHZ wins hands down.
Ya know not everybody can afford to just go out all willy nilly and get the latest new fanlged business machine. I find a math co-processor to be both an extravagance and a waste of resources. We all know the latest 12" CRT's are really going to be what increases worker production.
Hey Slashdot ain't a big truck. You can't just dump anything on it, more it's like a series of tubes. And all your damn YouTubes, why I had my staff send me an Internet the other day, took 2 weeks to get here!
I can't comment on that specific question, but it has been shown time and time again that patients with damaged areas of the brain often compensate with other areas. Or say you go blind, previous grey matter associated with vision related processing and tasks rather quickly is appropriated to other tasks more essential.
Without having read the study, my contribution is that it's still early to concede that any particular part of the brain is the center of creativity, or that psychology actually has a specific definition for creativity.
Ditto on not reading the article. I do however read a lot of Scientific American in it's various flavors. And I encourage you all to read SciAm: Mind Volume 19, Number 5, Oct/Nov 2008: Page 67. It's an article on how "colorful scans have lulled us into an oversimplified conception of the brain as a modular machine". Quite simply to try and suggest there is a creativity center when so many processes in the brain can be involved, and with as little as we really know, is as absurd to me as announcing they found a copy of the "Windows Task Manager" in the brain.
âoeThereâ(TM)s no empirical evidence that these games produce improvements,â says Nancy Andreasen
That may very well be the case but are they forgetting about the Placebo effect a game like Brain Age might induce? Or for that matter, isn't using your brain in any active matter preferable to just letting it sit idle and passive in front of say, a tv?
Completely wrong. Stress increases focus on a singular task, while creativity needs to look at how many bits fit together.
Cortisol, commonly referred to as the stress hormone. I believe is less about focus and more about creating memory for difficult or life threatening situations. Of course that only works when the stress is short term. Nowadays... well you know...
If you've graduated in the last five years or so, then this is probably reasonable. But very few people over the age of 30 (if not 25) use Myspace or Facebook. Those sites are oriented toward young single people with enough idle time to do that sort of thing.
I know plenty of people over 30 on MySpace... Most 25+/-, same as me... but as for the time comment, I would say anyone with the time to fill out an online order form would have enough time for a social networking site. Once the profile is established it's really no more time consuming then adding a couple extra clicks to get to the equivalent of e-mail.

No, they're doing us a favor by zapping them so that the government mind-control chemicals will no longer effect us. c.f. "They Live" =D
I'm glad someone finally had the courage to get the ball rolling on this. Sir, I applaud you for bringing this very real issue to light. Often times I wonder why the relationship between the pharmaceutical industry and secret government organizations isn't more apparent to "normal" people.

What an odd question to ask when you are so far off the mark.
I guess when you're running on hot air, you sometimes run out of steam
=( looks like i blew it lol
I am perturbed at the references to steam engines today.

That would be one hell of a sucker-punch!
World record donkey punch perhaps?
Finding TFA severely lacking, might I recommend a more informative article from, Ars Technica.
Back Orifice anyone?
Bane of ICQ 98b users everywhere!
You should see the frame rate I get from nethack!
I wish my computer could nethack :( It's the new crysis.

Connecting to a domain can be a wonderfully long process on poorly configured equipment.

Who cares about copyright when you got pictures this hot.
I'm sorry if I take a test that gives Windows and Linux the same security rating not very seriously.
Don't be a pussy this guy sounds legit.
A hardened operating system used in the B1B bomber and other military aircraft has now been released commercially

What do you have if you're holding one large green turd? You got Idle!
Everyone KNOWS creativity comes from booze.
If that's the case this game I've been making in RPG Maker XP is going platinum.

My guess is they are happier than people who spend the same amount of time watching TV.
I would agree but damn near every comment is someone disagreeing with the previous one.
