Sure the power consumption would be lower with one core. No surprise there.
But if you take a look at the different battery scores, you'll see the CPU is already only a small part of the total power consumption anyway. Whether you're just reading webpages or playing a DVD only changes the battery life by about 45 min. If Intel could magically make a zero power CPU it wouldn't greatly improve the battery life. Power consumption on all the other components, especially the LCD, are already more significant than the CPU.
We're not far from page 2 of Google results being the first page that has actual results. Page 1 will just be links to buy the CD/DVD/Book/EBook/MP3/Flamethrower/Placemat of your search term.
Does giving your credit card to a waiter or cashier constitute being careless?
How about typing your PIN in full view of the other customers?
I think it was Heinlein who wrote "There is no safety this side of the grave." Well there's not much security either. Hell, identity thieves even take dead men's IDs.
Also, the fact that humans are more likely to do unnecessary steps may indicate a greater willingness on the part of humans to experiment, which is why we have computers, and keep chimps in cages, and not the other way around.
Okay, Dean Kamen's come up with some great things (and the Segway isn't/wasn't/won't be one of those things). Now how many other inventors can you name?
Kamen's famous, but fame is a poor substitute for importance.
In other words, you support total government control of what you send and how you send it, rather than an open Internet. Thanks, but no thanks. Seeing what the Chinese can do tells me all I need to know about a government lording over the 'net.
As stupid as this NIMF report is, the invention of the word "Killographic" is utterly brilliant. I'd put it right on the front of my box if I was a game designer.
It'd probably be more descriptive to call it lunar grit or sand than lunar dust. It's a highly abrasive, very fine, powdery (like dust) material. You don't have the same erosion processes on the moon that you have on Earth, so you get jagged little fragments of rock.
There's actually a lot of innovation in stacking it that high and selling it that cheap. You just don't see it in the final product, because it's all about manufacturing and profit margins, not bells and whistles. What Dell does is not trivial at all. If you doubt this, consider how many other "beige box" companies have tanked as Dell has thrived.

We're talking about a 6-bit panel.
It can only display 262,144 colors ((2^6)^3), you only need 512x512 pixels to see them all. So yes, it is a real issue for 6-bit panels vs 8-bit.

Graduate students, most likely. They're usually grumpy enough to strangle anything they can get their hands on.

If he doesn't have fangs, I say we cut off his head and see if the building explodes.
Of course there's the +/-10% margin of error.
Google, the search for more money!

Why would we keep computers in cages?
The US and public transit? That's like oil and sensible foreign policy.
There have been no reported cases of cancer on Mars in any reputable medical journal. We need to go there and find out why!

I'm not just a gamer, I'm a killographer!
Has anyone been 'round to the local galactic administrative office lately? Anyone?
Isn't it obvious? Not enough breasts!
Then I'm okay, all my DNA is made up of base pairs.

1. Fat research budget
2. Prostitutes who test negative for HIV.

Newegg has the GS for $209.

So I guess Lincoln was wrong about that "by the people, for the people, of the people" business.
