Think about it. The majority of scientific and technological progress over the last 50 years or so, has been propelled by Moore's law. This simple "law" is woven into the very fabric of technology and by extension, modern society. Without powerful computing and ubiquitous electronics, there would be no satellite navigation. No mobile phones. No modern media. No space travel. No Human Genome Project. No cutting edge medical advances. Little or few advances in other sciences.
Any civilisation is driven by technology. Modern technology is driven by miniaturisation.
So contrary to the article's prediction, we're should be fine for now. But not for long! Moore's law is on it's last legs. If there's nothing to replace it, humanity is heading for a depression.
These physics chips (like Agea PhysX) are programmable chips. You can make them do any physics you want. Same way as you can do unrealistic 3D graphics with the current crop of 3D hardware.
Punk is part of a long line of bohemian subcultures, a la beatniks, hippies, romantics, artists, who disdain the mainstream values of materialism, commercialism, and political and social pecking order.
Chavism on the other hand embraces the popular culture and its values, with any socialist or counter-culture "subtext" completely missing.
The current outbreak of the bird flu is primary reason they are doing this. The data gathered from this may well save a lot of people if the bird flu mutates starts spreading rapidly.
I read in a another article that the they found a number of striking similarities between the 1918 virus and the mutations that are starting to appear in the bird flu virus. What's more worrying is that these are the kind of mutations that caused the outbreak in 1918.
I mean neither of the two disciplines describe perfectly what hacking is. Then again, parallels can be drawn between hacking and either discipline. So, I think the answer is both.
I think there's just as much emotion and fluidity in music as there is in visual art. I'd even go as far as to say that these are the most important qualities in music. Music where structure dominates would be incredibly boring to listen to.
If you fail to maintain certain structures, it will no longer sound like music. Rather, it will sound like a bad jam session done in somebody's garage.
A lot of people agree that live music is best and prefer live sound to the distilled studio sound. That's why people are still going to gigs.
There's a very cool article on this. It goes into great detail about the actual implementation and other challenges such as safety. I think this is an actual research paper written by NASA as part of their advanced R&D program looking into realistic plans for building a space elevator. The guy who wrote it is a major reasearcher in the field.

Not necessarily. Theo just has a crap business model. Red Hat and the like seem to be doing fine.

huh?
geddit? :-)

Good luck with that. Moore's law is dead.
Just because you have . in your $PATH, doesn't mean everyone has.
Yeah that and both apps have been developed for Unix/Linux first.

It's acutally in Aliens , not Alien.
Why the troll moderation?
Granted yours one is low. But does it end with 42? I think not. ;)

You can probably do a Google search on this.
Is this good or is it wack?

A word of advise, ditch GUI and use the command line. (Except for GIMP, of course)

er.. VR gloves?
In terms of the actual materials, I think we're getting there.

How about this. It's been all over the news a few months ago.
er.. you mean liposuction
Just out of curiosity, do you pronounce it as "lee-nux" or "lih-nux"?
