VHDL is powerful but is too general. Basically, you can make the language do whatever you want, (not just limited to gate code, but any sort of modeling or computation, period), but it's a pain in the ass to do it. Pretty much all the operators and symbols (even '1', '0', 'h', etc) need to be defined before you can do anything, making it a feat to actually get work done. Well, there are standard libraries for stuff, but there are issues with multiply defined symbols and stuff in different libraries.
VHDL is very verbose and requires a lot of boilerplate code to do the simplest tasks. That said, it does scale reasonably well.
I think Verilog is more specifically geared toward FPGA gate code, and so it's a lot simpler to use. You don't have to fight the language like in VHDL. Go Verilog.
Shannon entropy isn't the same thing as randomness. It's a measure of balance of the distribution. You could have a high entropy generator that is very unrandom, say, one that basically alternates between outputs. Or you could have a truly random distribution that favors some outputs over others, but completely unpredictably.
Quantum processes seem to be truly random. Electronic noise can be considered random. It's not difficult to build a noise module in electronics. Hell, if you have a sound card, you have one already.
So, here's how I see it. As we can see, taking the game away from people can cause them to commit suicide. Father bans game from kid. Kid commits suicide. State bans games from everybody. Kids all over the country commit suicide.
You can immediately get into games like Super Mario World. You press left, and your guy goes left. Press right and your guy goes right. You don't need to look at a manual to figure out what key does what, and figure out how to manipulate the camera to see what you need to see. You just play, and the guy responds just how you want him to.
Format his hard drive. If that doesn't work, chuck it out the window, or engineer some internet outages. Maybe a few days of reflecting will kick some sense into him.
Ubuntu is more useful than Windows out-of-the-box, with more useful apps and a more efficient interface. But, it's easy to tweak Windows to a point where it is more powerful than Ubuntu.
Windows has a large number of annoyances and the user interface is very inefficient. But, thanks to a huge community, there are downloadable tweaks, customizations, or power tools. You can add VWM functionality. You can use Powershell. You can replace the explorer shell with something like Litestep if you want.
Windows has an unfair advantage. Basically, every power app that Linux has has been ported to Windows. But there are a lot of Windows power apps which don't exist for Linux.
Most of the annoyances of Windows have some workaround that someone already figured out. Many of the annoyances in Linux haven't been fixed yet and require you to patch it yourself. It's simply due to a larger community that Windows has.
Yeah, this is the Integrator on steroids. It'll be great for anyone who doesn't have Mathematica or needs to use Mathematica on the go, like on a phone.
Honestly, how many man-hours and equipment do you really want to commit to backup? Do you really think it's worthwhile to get a tape system and regularly move tapes off-site for some community mods? Anyone can envision a system that is far more secure than this, but paying for it is another thing.
If the mods were good quality and downloaded often, the community should be able to act as a backup of sorts.

Black screens don't save energy on backlit LCDs like they do on old CRTs, which are pretty much obsolete these days.

Because it's awesome.
And it will attract players because it is awesome.
Can someone please explain why porn is one of the tags on this story? Retro pictures for retro porn?

Mario 64 terrible? It's critically acclaimed as one of the best games of all times.

Did you factor in rape? It's happened by soldiers in all wars since war was invented.
There doesn't need to be any distinction for the USPTO to award a patent.

It certainly blows Google calculator away.
you mean WinMain()
you mean, how long did I RTFM? you must be new here.
to be fair to Slashdot, that was an April Fools joke.

multiple times? I'd like to see you recover something that has been overwritten once.
assassination works better
How would he notice a decrease? Relative to what?
Does that study factor in taxes? People who live longer generally work more years.
