Google Earth has a "G-Force" mode (CTRL-G) for doing plane-like maneuvers with the mouse. Odd controls, yes, but it sure beats waiting for http://flightsim.google.com/, or whatever it'll be, to go live.
These 136.8 teaflops could have been avoided if the proper specifications were used before hardware development and programming began.
You fail to see the point. That means it's very fast. Still, Japan's computer will take over with its ten 500 GB Hitach Desktstars. Speaking of typos...
(from the story)
Current fastest supercomputer is the partially finished Blue Gene is capable of 136.8 teaflops and the target when finished is 360 teraflops.
That makes the Zero Wing intro look like a proper MLA paper.;)
Kids actually trick-or-treat instead of throwing sometimes-frozen eggs at people in Halloween?
In my humble housing projects, kids do t||t, but I also see egg stains on the ground after every 'ween. I'd say more daylight is better, if only to stop the eggers that sometimes make me scared to leave the building.
By the way, where are the obligatory Whisper Song jokes? (Though I doubt none of us, nevermind the Ying Yang Twins, would consider "Wait 'till ya see my traceroute" to be funny.)
The show's working title is Twisted Metal.* Bob Barker will host the show, complete with reused The Price is Right theme song. For the matches, Darrell Waltrip will provide play-by-play, John Madden will give color commentary, and there will be occasional features narrated by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. Insiders say Scott Peterson may star in the first episode.
*No word on whether clown-driven ice-cream trucks will be allowed.
Bill Gates knows they will say this because he (if I may cut you off here) is trying to get whatever profit he can from the country while those evil Communist psychos still let them operate in China in the first place. After all, what semi-sane company wants to disrespect a belligerent, nuke-brandishing government who wants to blow up their corporate country of origin, nevermind extinguish all free speech in their ownspaces?
...some other dude would read/., get that hacker's tips, and point the Hubble at the Sun, ruining the fun for us all.
I hope not, 'cause NASA would kill me if they heard that I found a classified technique for downloading Hubble images to my CVS camc9waryv8at0 *muffled screaming as shotgun blasts*

At least, I did not see an OpenGL option, and the popular game does require DirectX 7.
...let's wish the seven in Discovery wuck with the wanding too. With those three debris pieces flying off, I think they still need it.
Which is a good thing. Maybe they'll stay and, oh I dunno, add the Bronx buildings or something. Or at least Queens, if they abhor the Yankees. ;)

Don't worry. They'll decide to make it an 80*25 text-mode adventure when they realize how long they've taken.

I wouldn't do that to my karate sensei. Come on, he taught you how to wax on and wax off and that is how you repay the man?
MSN Moon, showing the green-cheese structure of Earth's natural satellite at closest zoom level. Duh.
Really, they have to continue chipping away at Google's revenue somehow.

...but don't worry. Daylight Savings Pwnage is a common occurrence, within and without Slashdot.
I smell a new viral sig.
Hitachi makes Deskstars. Hitach, as one can clearly read above, makes Desktstars.
Let me see...
...yup, just like the first chapter of The Chronically Depressed Programmer's Guide to C++, 1st edition.
Yep, there's a scale. Seems credibly accurale.
With all this and Google Earth too, I still wonder why my brother uses MapQuest. I guess some people like legacy systems.*
*I notice they both use "@media print" so they only print what matters, not all the ad and search-box crap. Sweeeet.
You forgot hot. It's Shields by a mile.

Absolutely not. I concur with your perception of hotness.
I'd imitate her anytime.

Warning: upcoming "Fully Loaded" Lindsay Lohan pun detected.
(As long as it could drive me to the nearest mall without any problems or automatic drafting to the Army, I'm all for this DARPA Herbie-type stuff.)

The moon is just blossoming in puberty. When it shrinks in size again, the tabloids will wonder what drugs it's been absorbing.
When the moon rains its cheese, then the Windows users will switch.
Side note: nice lift. ;)
Shiiit. Even Ty Pennington wants some of the Andre, I'm sure.
Expect a massive increase in female Slashdotters in the coming hours, as muscle-lovers everywhere learn of him.
They can take another page from CNN, and keep talking about a few celebrities, adding info to every repeat as gossip is gathered...
