VMWare should, in theory, be able to simulate a system faster than the host processor, as long as it doesn't actually run that fast.
We should, in theory, be able to simulate the universe, just not as fast as the universe actually moves.
Besides, I bet we can just gloss over a lot of the boring bits and stay within a margin of error while ultimately simulating faster than the universe is actually transpiring. That doesn't seem unreasonable.
Similar to the silly "nature versus nurture" debate, I think the key here is that for different critters, different types of evolution are significantly more dominant.

Some of other Caselli's inventions were: an electrical marine torpedo which came back to the launching point in the event of missing the mark, an hydraulic press and an instrument that measures the speed of the locomotives.
A torpedo that comes back if it misses? What could possibly go wrong? This man was clearly a genius!
Why do all these designs rely on tiny interfaces? That Nokia video had it fold out, but the "keyboard" was still minuscule.
There used to be an old projection keyboard, where it projected a keyboard onto whatever surface you wanted, and made little clicky noises when you typed. That plus one of those tiny projectors duct taped around the innards of a smart phone and you've got a respectably powered computer with a large screen and a normal sized keyboard that fits in your pocket. Well, if you have kinda big pockets.
You'd hafta have the software that college kid came up with a while back to make the projector not look crappy on uneven surfaces, but that's certainly not an unreasonable issue. Maybe same for keyboard, maybe not.
Still, this would be just about as usable as a desktop machine, just about as powerful as some of the junk I see non-tech people using on a daily basis, and when it's off, it's smaller than a desk phone. Imagine turning your computer off and suddenly having your entire desk empty.
Where is that computer? The one that doesn't have the sucky tiny keyboard where you can't even freakin' hit F5 anymore without pressing an fn button? Why isn't that the future of computing?
I've always driven Chevys. I've had 5 of them so far, and I love'em. I know how to change the oil, I can get parts easily, and I can do lots of general maintenance without much hassle. I've even replaced the engine in my old Corvette with a new 350 after I blew up the original (I know, my bad >.
Now my wife has convinced me to buy a Toyota. It took me over an hour just to figure out how to change the oil. From looking at the Haynes manual, I think I might have to take out the engine just to change the fuel filter.
Why are Toyotas so terrible? Are they a clearly inferior product? I'm comparing apples to oranges here, but our new Toyota gets 2-3 times better gas mileage than my old Corvette. It might not be as easy to fix when certain things break, and the sound system is clearly inferior to the one I'd put in the Corvette, but mostly things in the Toyota do work better than in any of the Chevys.
When shit breaks, I'm clueless. Because I've only ever had Chevys. It's not Toyota's fault I have an extremely narrow breadth of experience in the automotive repair field. That's my fault. My ignorance doesn't make Chevy a better manufacturer.
As I've mentioned elsewhere, I attended WWU for some time and can easily say that unicycling clowns are not on the wide end of bizarre for Bellingham, regardless of what Professor Hyman might think.
I went to WWU. I can tell you, a unicycling clown is not that bizarre. You might as well ask a guy from LA if he saw the gang violence as he walked down the street. Or a New Yorker if he saw the potholes in the road.

I swear to god, the only black person in my high school was the DC sniper. I'm totally serious.
All I remember about him is that the best friend of a girl I dated sat next to him in history, and he always wore nice looking clothes.
But I certainly don't think that all black people are mass murderers. He is definitely using too small of a sample size.
Man, it's really hard to tie this back into an on-topic comment...

That's what I keep saying about defending Allah, but they still won't let me fly the airplane!
No, this is bad because it will make it harder for me to use products and media I have legitimately paid for.
The making it harder to steal part is less important.
Don't feed the troll!
You, sir, have just fed the troll. Congratulations, you're an idiot.

For the designers, the quality would probably be more in line with dollars per time spent playing, presuming they want you to buy another game.
Maybe that's just EA.
No, when you're posts are misusing those terms so egregiously, your clearly an idiot.
You clearly aren't familiar with the term "Researcher's Dozen."
Awesome!

What does bother me is that the people who made the movie don't get any payment for their work.
Do you honestly believe that the people who made a film get any money at all when you rent it from your local video store?
Let me put this in a bad car analogy for you:

Stop blaming Linux for your lack of experience.
I just renamed all my AVI files to MKV. It's, like, the same thing, right?

No, this is like telling drinkers that they cannot use a device that duplicates the beverage to give to their friends.
For most American beers, this process is referred to as "pissing."
