I'm not an expert either, but anything that revolves around it's sun that quickly must be much closer to it then, for example, mercury. Therefore I double any life exists insect-like or otherwise
Not just windows fault tho I'm sure, I thought certain CPU caches also broke self modifying code (as I still remember having to turn the caches off to get A500 games to run on an 020!)
Birds use the quantum zeno effect to navigate? Is that so? And there I was thinking it was because they had iron oxide crystals embedded in their beaks, oh how silly that all sounds now:)
Get a free dyndns account and stick an update client on there (the official one looks pretty slick these days).
While you're there you could install VNC server too so you can take control of it (if it's connected directly to the internet), or some over remote control solution (gotomypc etc.)
Internet safety lessons to me are akin to road safety lessons, would you argue against them too?
At any rate this should hopefully be good thing, I just hope they teach actual useful skills such as avoiding viruses rather then just the usual scaremongering about online paedophiles.
Now that you mention it I can imagine that central channel as a clear liquid, but I can also imagine it as small ripples on the surface of sand. The features on the left however look a lot more like small pebbles on top of sand to me.
Also don't forget that image is actually taken on a slope (it's at the edge of a crater) so it can't be liquid anything.
My vote is it's just an optical illusion
(of course the most compelling reason is that the giant glass worms would never allow water to exist on their planet)

Anyone got any more?
At any rate it doesn't even say what type of microphone it is (condenser, dynamic?) and what's all that rubbish about being the first to have "L/R-user select function", because using 2 microphones to capture left and right separately has obviously/never/ been done before
Right, so instead of buying a card from the company that has just promised to release open source drivers you'll get one from a company that hasn't, yeah that makes perfect sense.
"Man must learn to think of these horrible outcomes before he acts selfishly or else... I fear... recording artists will be forever doomed to a life of only semi-luxury."
It's completely unbelievable, literally. From the poorly rendered mockup to the made up buzz words it's actually quite funny. I'm a bit worried that the online ordering system appears to be functional, hmmm... Anyone else want to spend $280 to find out ??
From the article it sounds like the whole thing is based on a large collection of specialised processors designed only for protien folding calculations, so while it may be able to do those at a petaflop rate it probably can't do anything else at nearly that rate (just as the WWII Colossus computer could beat a 486 at Enigma cracking it certainly wasn't faster terms of actual computing speed)

That's nice, but what OS / software combo actually supports 30 bit colour displays? (as TFA is already dead...)
"I'd rather have fish and seafood than algae slime, thank you very much."
Buy Soylent Green high-energy plankton rations, much more nutritious and palatable than Soylent red and yellow!
My RSS reader just printed this story as "Surgical Robot Removes Calgary Woman's Brain ..."
Bit tenuous, don't you think?

Next year? they haven't even started beta yet have they?
I think the following line from tfa sums it up nicely
"just as a watched kettle never boils." i.e. doesn't change a thing
wake me up when they've actually _built_ the thing
You must be thinking of those new iMacs
(Ok not so new anymore but you get the idea)

Not sure what filters that image used, but this version looks more like NASA's "true color" images

Suddenly doesn't look much like water any more does it...

Who posted this? Honestly!

You mean like they did in south park?
"Man must learn to think of these horrible outcomes before he acts selfishly or else... I fear... recording artists will be forever doomed to a life of only semi-luxury."
Surely these are more whale like then fish like?
Wal-mart are worried that they'll sell less DVDs, so they counter this by pulling DVDs off the shelves...
Good one Wal-mart.
A USB batter charger . This way you can use 2500mAh batteries rather then having half the capacity taken up by the usb port and charging circuit.
Everyone knows the main bottleneck in a modern gaming PC is the network card, not the graphics card!
This is a joke, right?

Step 1. Attach 8 model aircraft jet engines to a harness
Step 2. Don't die (this is the important one)
Step 3. Profit
