You'd get the same thing if they dropped you out of the plane when it was still climbing almost vertically. When the plane levels off, you'll still be going up in the air while the plane starts going down. That shifts the start of freefall to a little BEFORE it starts falling.
No, the people inside the aircraft are travelling upwards at high speed... when the plane levels off, it's essentially free-fall relative to the people inside, not to the ground.
You wrote that? Excellent:D I enjoyed it quite a bit... I wrote one game engine in Qbasic... It was a mario clone, of course. DirectQB is a wonderful piece of engineering.
If you're looking for a good version to play around with, check out QBasic 4.5 or 7.1 (off abandonware sites). It can use assembly libraries for graphics and stuff... I once wrote a windows clone using the DirectQB libraries. It can compile to.COM or.EXE too!
I'm assuming there would be a separate control logic section that would make these decisions. Sure, it'll require some overhead, but with good enough predictive algorithms and time for advanced development, it should still provide a significant speed/efficiency increase.
Say you had to compute a 10000-entry sin/cos table (simple example). The processor would reconfigure itself to perform sin/cos operations in a single cycle (parallel ALUs etc.) and, if there were enough configurable circuits, perhaps multiple sin/cos table entries at once. That's where the speed advantage is - large blocks of repetitious calculations. With a sophisticated enough reprogramming AI, computationally intensive apps like video games could get a huge performance boost.
Sign up for some spam to provide legit traffic, modulate the size of the attachments, randomize the timing of the transfers... There are always ways around such controls. In the end, someone smart enough would have to be individually audited, which would cause privacy issues. Plus, google doesn't have time to police the millions of free email accounts it's going to have.
Indeed. So they will have bandwidth limiting too, I suppose. I wonder how that will be determined? In any case, it would probably still work for backups, since those are not necessarily time-critical and can be stored over a period of days.
Ok, so how long will it take before someone registers 100 accounts or so, writes a program to break their files into chunks, and stores them as email attachments? It would take me about 2 hours to write a file manager that stores large stuff like my star trek collection or backups on their mail servers...
I really don't know whether to applaud or feel sorry for you...

It's not just for input devices. Your PDA, MP3 player, printer, digital camera, or any other output device is where this technology will probably be most used.
Update: In 2005, nVidia released the specs for the GeForce 6900. Comments on geek news site "Slashdot" mainly focused on the need for two 1-kilowatt external gas turbines for power. Quotes like "Do the turbines run linux?" and "Will they be louder than my CPU fan?" are rampant, but most users say as long as the benchmarks are better than ATI, they don't mind wearing ear protection.
The cool thing about quantum entanglement is, if you even look at the data in the middle, you remove the probability elements from the quantum states (in effect) which is easily detectable from the other end. In other words, there's no real way to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.

Um, PLEASE tell me you knew that was supposed to be funny...
Well, I found the link, but it just pointed to ussr.gov...

They think prune juice is a delicacy. How much water can they have, if that doesn't give them trouble? :D

I work for GTRI... It wouldn't surprise me.
Microsoft products, of course!

Maybe I only have 25 cents?
Now this interests me... what was done about corrupt data (ie. moderators deleting the posts)? I would like to try this perhaps :D
Well, first I'd like to secure a small loan to fly to the Bahamas... and then I'll let you know :)

I believe I saw you posting on Slashdot Friday night... need I say more?
