Near as we get tell we have discovered all of them. The possibility of this "island" existing is pure guesswork, akin to suggesting there might be an 11th planet.
So, it *might* exist. I certainly wouldn't bet on it though, and I think we can say with a decent amount of certainty that we will never find such a thing.
Hopefully we can start breaking ground at the new nuke sites real soon now. We need more redundancy in the power grid, and just building more coal plants would be awfull.
Oh, I see. You guys must think I am somehow demeaning RedHat's contribution because I'm not all gun ho about it?
Well I see it this way:
1) They are protecting their business investment in the GPL 2) The publicity serves to strengthen OSS user/developer's endearment to them in ways that ad space would not.
So in other words its great for Red Hat and good for Linux, but nothing to write home about.

Thank you for comming to /. and spreading your incredible lack of foresight, and sheepish consumer-istic attitude.
Lack of foresight? Its more like a lack of enthusiasm.
2.5" drives are improving at almost the same rate 3.5" drives are.

These aren't servers with redundant power supplies we're talking about. The more you prefetch or write cache, the more you risk loosing data.

There are a lot of comments up there saying this will allow for smaller desktops, etc.
I don't think that is realistic. For the price you pay, 2.5" drives are horribly inefficient, and nowhere near as fast as 3.5" models.
Pretty much all 2.5" get used for now are notebooks and MP3 players.
Maybe as Mini PCs become more popular and mature these drives will get some use there. But this is hardly something to write home about.
> there might be an "island" of stable elements with atomic numbers higher than anything known yet
Well perhaps... and they maybe stable, but that doesn't make them natural.
Unless we find one in nature, that is.
You forgot:
/.
Frequently located in small clusters inside shopping malls or near restrooms, but can pretty much be found everywhere except
No, but I did read "Simon Icker"
1) What does this mean exactly?
They can only be created in a lab.
2) Is it not possible for us to discover other natural elements?
There are none left to discover.
3) Is it inconceivable that our "new" elements could also be produced under similar conditions in nature?
Such conditions do not exist in nature.
4) Have all of these new elements only existed in very small quantities for short periods of time, under controlled conditions?
Yes
Maybe just humaniod monsters... because otherwise there would be too much surface area and volume discrepancy for it to be fair.
You could have just killed everything in task manager named svchost.exe, which would emulate the virus' symptoms...
Well he probably thinks of it as an "improvement."
2500 = 1.8ghz
Yes, but she is leaving

By definition it is a point, but its also slang for the region around that point.
But if I have to ask a Finn, how can you claim "everyone knows" ?
I thought we were supposed to hate aerosols, and now they are our friends?
I am so confused.
No, home desktop.
Sheesh, at least get a 1700 XP. They are what, $40 on newegg.com for the chip itself?
:-\
And here I just told my boss that a 2500 is _entry level_
Megabits versus megabytes is basic stuff here.
Yes but so are typos.
A full featured GUI library that is well established, cross-platform, cross-language, and not Java based.
(I guess I can keep dreaming..)
The slap..?

Oh please, the feds have much better things to do than bust people on welfare for copyright infringement.
I love the quality free stuff, its improving greatly. But I just don't have time to configure/support it for this many users.
Do HP's Saturn or other such special-purpose processors have hard-coded higher-level functions?
Indeed, functions Cost_an_arm_and_a_leg() and Fork_over_much_dough() are hard-coded, and always return a value of "1".

But japs don't play Quake3!
They have more refined games, like Xenosaga.
