What in the world is so hard to pronounce about this, given that German is about the most phonetic language in the world? This isn't a French word, folks.
From TFA: By zooming in on a massive cluster of galaxies, the movie highlights the morphology of the structure on different scales, and the large dynamic range of the simulation (10^5 per dimension in 3D).
Now I understand that this resolution means 10^15 voxels ((10^5)^3) but that only equates to a linear resolution of 1mm in a 10m wide universe. Impressive it may be, but it's a long way short of the real thing.
Ooh - clever. Repeat the closing sentence of TFA in an attempt to look knowledgeable, using the sure knowledge that no-one will have actually read TFA.
What I say is "Slashdot responses are all computer-generated, except mine". Time after time a common thread appears in consecutive posts. In this case, the post before also talks about re-evolution.
I think a random subject generator isn't quite working properly.
From now on, I'm going to note these occurrences with a subject of "quincunx", a word that sounds outstandingly profane, but actually isn't.
Does it really matter? All that is seen (judging from the article) is a monochrome fairly artificial outline of the body. If you really think that someone who has to view hundreds of such images a day is going to "get off" on them, you're sadly mistaken.
Unless someone particularly shapely comes through, they're not going to bat an eyelid. Most people's shape is apparent when clothed, and seeing through to the true surface isn't a problem.
Clearly, I'd be much less happy about an actual strip search, but imaging techniques don't bother me.
Now anyone using a Windows PC can take advantage of the effortlessness of Bonjour for free. The Bonjour Setup Wizard makes setting up a printer under Windows as easy as Mac OS X (we can't make it as beautiful, unfortunately).
Slashdot Mirror
Eggs-actly.
Each dot can uniquely identify the device by it's serial number
I can see the extra dot added, between the "t" and "s" of "its".
I thought they were meant to be yellow?
sigh...
...I assume. I've not actually read the book.
If you zoom all the way in... oh, wait. Redundant, yeah?

Nor is it a German word...
What's to stop a paying subscriber doing the "FP!!1" thing?
You didn't read the NVIDIA story then?
Given that there are 600,426,974,379,824,381,952 ways to spell Viagra, that's probably a little unrealistic.
1mm in 100m, of course. Not so shabby...
From TFA: Initial experiments were carried out on a small piece of human fingernail measuring 2 x 2 x 0.4 mm^3
That's 1.6 nontic millimetres. Plenty of data storage space there!

There's a *lot* of scope for compressing that code further...
Also, you SHOULD NOT server XHTML-1.1 as text/html.
Oh, and your CSS doesn't validate.
As an English major, I must warn you that your English skills suck:
Also, from where are you? I find your use of the (US) term "English major" surprising juxtaposed with your (UK) spelling of the word "catalogue".
Roughly one second to start Word 97 on my 1GHz Athlon, without the Office autoloader thingy. About 14s to start OpenOffice Writer.
Spooky. That's exactly what one of the Morse code guys said about 80% of the way down this page. You must know as much about Morse as him!
(of course, if you actually are WA7VTD, please ignore my sarcasm...

Very nice, but how can that be a Longhorn demo? Those aren't OS features, they are application features.
If you're going to misspell a word, don't make it the one you emphasize in ALL CAPS...

Cool.
Yes, graphite, that well known metal...
I hope you don't ever use polystyrene, after that Shuttle crash showed how dangerous it can be.
