    Exercise games - electrodes attached such that they automatically stimulate and tone the muscles while you work/play.

  8. Re:New Terms in A Nutshell on AIM's New Terms Of Service · · Score: 1

    actually no,

    Sound is a series of mechanical compressions and rarefactions or longitudinal waves that succesively propagate through materials (medium) that are at least a little compressible (solid, liquid or gas but not vacuum).


    taken from wikipedia, also the encyclopedia britannica and every physics book i know define sound as that.

  11. Re:Oh great on World's First Physics Processing Unit · · Score: 1

    not if the slower processor is dedicated to doing a specific type of calculation and is also better adapted to doing so. would you want your 3ghz pentium 4EE to be doing all of your graphics because the cpu on your graphics card is slower? physics calculations could also benefit from the type of parralellism that this could provide. also not to nit pick but i'm assuming when you say ram you don't mean cache. in which case your 3ghz intel pentium 4EE doesn't have any ram either, the ram is completely seperate from the cpu.

    i'm not too surprised about that myself, but i wouldn't be surprised if they add in other places once they work out all the kinks they have with NA alone, many inaccuracies, there's a phantom neighboorhood exactly like mine about a mile down the road according to google...

    a hundred miles could easily be all that a small lighthouse DGPS would need, i mean it would be there mostly to protect small boats and such that are near shore (hence 100 miles would probably be enough) the larger boats would definately benefit from it too
