Also left out of the calculations are the glial cells. There are 10x more glial cells than neurons. They were previously thought to not be part of brain calculation but have since been shown to modulate the activity of the neurons. We've got a long way to go.
While your statement that this is not geared towards the general public is correct, it is far from a concept car like item. There is a tremendous amount of scientific processing sitting out there waiting to happen but it's too costly on supercomputers. For my own project, a neural network artificial life simulation, even this card won't get me the speeds I want/need. I'm testing with GTX280's right now and when I'm satisfied my code makes use of the card properly, then I will move on to the card in the article or continue adding GTX280's.
Not to be outdone by this, Google is testing servers on I-5 (carpool lane), IBM is placing servers in the dunk tank at the local carnival while Sun teamed up with Starbucks to test servers in the restroom.
That's pretty easy to answer, it's neither. It's a scientist creating life from scratch in a test tube. Abiogenesis is when there is no scientist involved.
Additionally, creationism is when God is required, so while it's not either, it does demonstrate that God is not required to form a living organism from non-living raw materials.
We have an Xbox360, PS3 and an old N64. When the kids friends come over (ages 12 to 17), they all jump on the N64 and super smash bros, pretty amazing.
Well lets see if we can figure it out:
1 for each key on the keyboard, that's 104
A mouse with 1 laser, 2 buttons and a wheel, that's 4 more
50 for each tab you might open
And 23 "backups" in case something happens to one of the other threads
Why anyone would pick any of these languages when the problem is one ideally suited to Lisp, Prolog, or even something like CLIPS is beyond me
It seems like you must be assuming a particular approach to the problem. Can you expand on why you think this problem is best solved with the languages you listed?
You do realize that the exact traits that allow us (or any other animal) to kick-ass/kill and survive in the wild are what you are referring to as "flaws"?
You were going for a degree in AI, and hadn't yet read anything that said/demonstrated that go is a very very hard game for computers to win at? I'm not questioning your prudence, I'm just curious what AI books you read before deciding on AI as a focus.

Why COBOL Could Come Back

It seems to me you are quick to criticize, without even a basic understanding of the requirements for this change. It is NOT some simple 'raise minimum wage'. It is 'temporarily lower ALL employees wages (hourly and salaried) to minimum wage'. When the budget is passed, put the wages back where they were and issue back pay. Don't forget about little details like deductions for taxes, insurance, retirement, etc. How do you calculate the withholding rate for income tax? What do you do when someones deductions exceed their pay? When the pay is restored, what do you do about people that have left, retired, or died in the meantime?
The voice of experience. I'm constantly amused by posters who think they "know" the answer and it's so simple, everyone else must be dumb. Yet they've never had to execute a project of that magnitude. This entire topic really has very little to do with COBOL and more to do with the issues you raised (as well as the numerous other ones that will be discovered as you walk through each of the questions you listed).
I learned on that machine, and figured all machine language was like the 6809, I couldn't believe some of the goofy things my friends had to deal with on other procs. My favorite thing was the 16 bit multiply.
I spent 2 years at the Univesity of Washington and then 2 years at Western Washington University, the biggest differences were the individual professor differences regardless of which school. At both schools I had professors that were completely incompetent (seriously), and at both schools there were some professors that were great. The range of good to bad was far broader than I expected.

10 a=0
20 b=17
30 a=(a+27389) mod 527
40 b=(b+98372) mod 3991
50 if a!=b goto 30
Will it halt?

The GTX280 is programmable with CUDA also? There are differences between he cards, but you seem to be implying you can't use CUDA with the GTX280.
That's why you should use an OS with capability based security so arbitrary code can't be executed.
On Wednesday we'll have: "I coded a project, and now it's all done, should I start another project?"
Thursday's topic: "A lot of people around me use the tab key but I like to key in exactly 3 spaces for indentation, who's right?"
And on Friday: "I...uuuuh...well....oh, have you ever hit refresh but the web page said it couldn't?"

Touche.

Here's an article from a few weeks ago I remembered reading, seems relevant. They claim a 40x increase with products available within 3 years.
