  4. Macintoshes on IBM's New Processors To Exceed 5Ghz · · Score: 0

    I think that apple will move back to these processors in it's Mac Pro's computers. THey might have signed a contract with Intel forbidding them to do this, but I think that it would be more advantageous and use whatever processor is the best at the moment.

    No it doesn't always point to you.

    After someone else downloads and seeds you can leave and the other person can start seeding...

    THere is tracker software that is being run on the servers though. It announces who is seeding and who the peers are. When you build a .torrent file you add a site with an announce.php to it.

  19. Top Five reasons why the space program should be a on Apollo 12 at 35 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Top Five reasons why the space program should be among our top priorities as a nation:

    5. The world population doubles every 40 years. Eventually, we will have to either expand across other planets or enforce population control.
    4. Every dollar invested in NASA pays off seven dollars in terms of technological development for the US economy.
    3. We must expand from Earth to escape the threat of civilization-ending natural disasters, like a supervolcano, which could lower global temperatures below freezing for years. The chance of dying in a civilization-ending event is 1/455. Not to be grim, but that's 10 times more likely than dying in an commercial aircraft.
    2. Scientific Exploration: Learning more about the universe around us will teach us more about our own world, ourselves, and our origins.
    1. To provide the sense of progress which yields human happiness. No one likes stagnation. I can think of nothing more repulsive than the idea that in 200 years we could still be Earth-bound.
