You should try it on another planet before complaining. If it can't tell you where to get the best pangalactic gargleblaster on Comodoar LXIV, you may be able to get a refund.
I remember reading about this stuff and seeing similar prototype photos as far back as 20 years ago. While this is probably much better than what was cooked up back then, somehow I doubt it'll be in our hands within the next 25 years.
It always amazes me how companies will show off a new design or prototype and the article will say that it's "3 years from being available to consumers" or "mass production will start at the end of the year", but in most cases this simply never happens. Too bad, because the technologies are really interesting.
In memory memory is just the part of Virtual memory that is current in memory (it's still in virtual memory even if it's in real memory).
Isn't it unusual then that, with one exception, the "virtual memory" numbers are all actually lower than the "in memory" numbers?
I get the distinct impression that teens might as well be considered professional SMSers. The volume of messages they put out is staggering. They're the right choice for the job.
Freezing stops many if not all of the biological processes in the body, including aging. Hibernation is just a (deep and prolonged) form of sleep. You do get older while sleeping. Comatose people also age normally. I doubt very much hibernation will be anything like the fountain of youth.
Doesn't matter that anybody could come up with it. You can patent it, even without being the actual inventor. Thing is, if you are the patent holder, you can use that patent to sue anyone who does something that seems remotely related to your patent. It then basically becomes that person's responsibility (or more accurately: burden) to prove you wrong by contesting the patent (proving there is prior art or that your code doesn't infringe). That costs a lot of effort and money. Something that small businesses and individuals can't afford.
...any of the (sort-of) FMV sequences found in the original game, such as the introduction sequence. That'd be a pleasant surprise.
The screenshots certainly look very promising.
I really loved playing Privateer (even if I completely suck at any game I play -- I even managed to lose at tic-tac-toe), never got around to playing the sequel, though.

It will be much more interesting to see how SCO management handles jail time.
Perfect for monitoring! Let's hope they won't decide to blow us up when Earth rises in Capricorn...

...would put a Hitch Hiker's Guide reference in response to a Slashdot interview.
How will they manage to switch them only at certain zoom levels?

Pardon my ignorance, but isn't it true that a nation, by definition both loses and wins a civil war simultaneously?
Pfff. When I get up in the morning and look in the mirror, it's quite obvious there's at least one zombie in Europe...
That's dangerous. I have quite a cold. I wouldn't want my virus to spreak to webservers.
They enable me to see the world outside still exists without actually having to go there.
It "just works" is Microsoft's new catch phrase. They've probably patented it by now.
Opera is looking to hire a new Chief Executive Officer as they seem to suspect being without one soon.

Sounds like you got a great deal.

How'd you get that past the lameness filter?
Hmmm... all the holes in Windows and IE still haven't been fixed. And those are the number one things we b!tch about.
To serve man... it's a cookbook!
"Don't worry, my little friend". You can mod that "-1 Evil"!
That's "bio-neural gel packs", actually. Do I get modded down for being too Trekkie (especially considering that's ST:VOY)?
WOPR learned that tic-tac-toe always ended in a draw and it was impossible to win. I actually lose!
