'So to paraphrase, the US slaved away and made the bread (aka internet), and everyone else now wants to eat it. I don't think I'm wrong in saying that the rest of the world can start making their own bread any time now'
MMm...... The middle east slaved away and made the bread (aka civilisation) and the US now wants to eat it. I don't think I'm wrong in saying that the US should give control of civilisation back to IRAQ where it belongs.
I don't mind the US having control.. I have a problem with the US GOVERNMENT having control.
A bunch of US businesses are not likely to shut off anything without just reason, however the US GOVERNEMENT could decide to silence China with the stroke of a pen(virtual one).
This Insightful #5 remark (obviously voted there by Bush supporters), has got to be one of the stupidest most idiotic remarks I've ever seen on Slashdot.
However, it is typical of the isolationist view the US has increasingly had over the last few years.
We didn't ask the US to exist, we didn't ask the US to invade IRAQ, we didn't ask the US to dump crap TV on us.... but they did.
If the US wants to keep control of the Internet because it started it... then maybe we need to hand control of human life itself over to IRAQ, where it started.
Give it to a global governing body, not the US Government.
" if a fetus is a human being how come it looks like a steamed prawn?"
If looking like a steamed prawn is your way of defining lack of life, then I'm glad you aint in charge.
The only people who don't believe life begins at conception, are those religious nuts that believe it begins when your soul gets infused into your body after 42 days, 7 hours, 56 minutes and 13 seconds exactly.
Well - then there is the people who believe life begins when the baby pops out in the hospital.
Well, I don't think the question is 'when does life begin' cause that's obviously at conception, but rather 'is the life that begins at conception worth anything' ?
That is a much more sensible question.
No - he thinks that clothes and clouds are huges masses of atoms, complete with circling electrons (and some waving ones).
Well - considering my mum used to tell me Thunder happenned when God dropped something, but never explained what lightning was.... and I wasn't game to ask.
I'm not saying it's true, but having seen (and felt) 2 inch bolts of static from wandering around in 3% humidity.... I can really see this is feasible.

Like everyone else, by paying for it - or getting into the AU Market.
Do you really think I LIKE going to all the effort of getting my favourite TV shows of BT.
NO - I'd much prefer to just sit down and watch them on the TV.
But no - rather than make it POSSIBLE for me to watch it legit, they continue to make it harder for me to watch it at all.
GRRRR ARRGGHH!!
Which reminds me - I have to go and see Serenity at the cinema where I can PAY to watch it.
How many /.ers are suggesting the rest of the world leave the internet if they don't like it.
I can't believe how many of them think that it's the US's right to own the internet.
I also can't believe how quickly the pro-US content is rated up, and other rated down - irrespective of the content itself.
I am genuinely dissappointed, but luckily unlike the internet - I can leave this melting pot of self interest.
See how quickly this one goes to 0.
So you are saying that the US GOvernment has no way within it's boundaries of turning off China ?
:)
Or New Zealand
The guy opening up his skull ?

As in - your comment is idiotic to the extreme.

That's bad.

"Oh wait, did you mean silent power conversion?"
... or something like that.
Well Mr Smarty, it what case do we produce power ?
Seems to me that if we use your analogy, then power production doesn't happen, not to mention production of ANY form.
That is until the pedant takes the time to find out what production means.
Aluminium production is CONVERTING bauxite to Aluminium.
and as for this thread...
Silent Power Production is CONVERTING noisy power to silent power

Which brings me to the question - why does WoW let me say 'crap' - but not 'LSD' ?
I personally think that WoW should have a 'receive' foul language option to increase entertainment.
So if two people both have the flag on - they can spit what ever they want at each other.
Sort of like VpV.
"It's not even a requirement that you actually be able to read."
./ head article refers to wasted power .... on an intel that's not exactly the same as wasted heat power :)
The
Yeah - the wording leaves a bit to be desired.
So they are aiming at 50.1%, not 0.1% of the original.
That's fine then.
"So now the power can be reduced by nearly the entire amount of the previous leakage current, or nearly the entire 50% that leakage was taking up."
... where does the other 500 times come in :)
... you have us at 50%.
:)
... but lets see where it goes :)
Yes - which is half
i.e. start at 100%, aiming for 0.1%
"to reduce leakage current to 1/1000th "
Not exactly the wording that I see
BTW - it was meant to be tongue in cheek at Intel
If half of the current power is used by the computing, and half by heat.
1000 times less means 500 times slower ?
Or am I missing something ?
One of those wouldn't bother me so much.
I'll let you guess which.
Acrylic Sparkle Quartz
ASQ ?
ASP ?
Mmmmmmm ?
What I mean is that it isn't a fundamental.
It's the one I enhanced to draw lots of stuff around 15 years ago in Assembler.
". Trig functions are too expensive to use in inner loops, and their corner cases are annoying"
... fundamental stuff... NOT :)
Drawing circles with +/-

In Australia it was

Then you obviously have no idea what you are talking about.

Time for a Mythbusters Episode....
Plus R&D and time to test, code and document.
I suppose I should stop ripping people off.
Cause I'm in Australia.
Yet the dufus in the US can still disable my player because I want to play legally purchased material that happens to be region 1 ?
