Also, a geosynchronous orbit is necessarily located above the equator. Any country that doesn't own a part of the equator can't have a geosynchronous satellite above their heads.
Apart from the immediate implications of the fissure, is there any point in scientists wasting taxpayer money speculating on what the Earth will look like in a million years?
I mean, the Singularity is just a few decades away.
What useful science has the "Earth Simulator" produced? What useful science will this monstrosity produce?
Seem like it's just a wang dangling contest between the large corporations / governments of the industrialized world. About as useful as Decibel Drag Racing.
By purchasing an HDDVD equipped XBox, you're effectively lengthening the format war with BluRay by giving HDDVD proponents a larger number to point to when discussing the size of the HDDVD user base.
There is already a Magellan project, a 2 telescope optical interferometer
Grandparent has a point though. This naming convention is a poor choice. What will they call the next one? "OMG The Really REALLY Big Ginormous Magellan Telescope"? And the one after that?
Marketroids (and apparently the ivory tower residents responsible for naming telescopes) need to learn from the debacle of USB Hi-Speed vs Full-Speed. Future-proof the meaning of your technology's name by assigning it based on absolute, and NOT relative, criteria. "Giant" has no real meaning. "25.6m" (the resolving power of the GMT) does have a meaning that will persist into the future.

Wouldn't summary execution work? Or maybe beating the crap out of the kids parents...
Or a more pragmatic suggestion, install surveillance at schools and the school can file assault charges against the youngsters.
Uhm, why is this appearing on a tech media blog?
The article is pretty god damn light on details.
How will the equipment affect the lives of the birds they're attached to?
Unsubstantiated claims are always fun - until someone puts their eye out!
Dear Mod,
Your mom is off-topic, bitch.
First time they used an oral thermometer, the second time a rectal one.
Actually rectal temperatures are higher than oral temperatures.
recent news (oxy moron? Isn't all news recent?)
"old news" would be an oxymoron.
"recent news" is redundant.
Serves you right for breeding, you selfish asshole.

Guess it's time for us to liberate South America.
LAMR doesn't spell anything!
"Lamer".

You can change the port RDP listens on via a registry key.

3. The basic necessities of life here (especially tobacco) are insanely expensive.
You're pathetic.
Considering how few security breaches have anything to do with coding problems, I think that's a pretty ridiculous measure.
So security breaches are mostly the result of... ? Social engineering?
So we can crack RC-72 faster, yipee.

This makes about as much sense as those people who judge employees based on whether or not they're married and have kids.
I take it you've never worked in a place that has deadlines.
I'm just hopeful that this leads to some new games exploring insanity.
Uh, maybe after Nintendo's patent expires.
Well, if it's in Wikipedia it must be legit!

It plays fine in Windows XP.
You don't have to lie to make friends. =/
Am I missing something?
Isn't Starcraft a game that only runs properly under DOS/Win3.1/Win95? An ugly old RTS?
I played it a few times.
What are the Koreans doing with Starcraft that make it teh hotness? Drugs?

45GB for HD-DVD vs. 50GB for Blu-ray isn't that big a difference...
I'll just bet you're one of those marketroids working for a storage manufacturer that likes to define 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes. Bastage!
