I think we're forgetting about some slightly different capabilities of the cards in use.
For example, ATi has always had better draw distance and maintaining texture appearance over those distances. nVidia has rather sucked at it while maintaining better shadowing capability. I've tested and found this to be true since the old ATi Rage versus the TNT2, and it still holds true today (My ATi HD4200 does better at draw distance compared to the 9800GTX+)
Actually, there's a reason we angle panels just off-axis to the sun - increased photon exposure in earlier hours, as you don't have to wait for the sun to creep up enough to illuminate the entire panel. The increase is minimal but it's there.
We've got ultra-bright 1W diodes, now. Two companies I know of have smashed 150 lux/w and thus are surpassing HIDs in visual efficiency. I think Cree smashed the 200 lux/w, which just blows away any HID out there. Get two High-capacity NiMH batteries (each holding about 4w of power) and a joule thief hooked to a micro-amplifier and solar panel, and you could light a desk for a night, at about the same cost as this solution in TFA, and at very likely near the same price line.

It's called a karma system.
Users that get a negative karma rating are banned from using the service or accessing videos for a predefined time period.
Camfrog uses this and it is quite effective. We also get the option of banning entire fucking countries by IP so we can restrict pretty much ANYBODY.
Again, Camfrog beats the shit out of any other attempt at a video chat.
I was thinking exactly this.
Just like the guy in AZ that sued a bar over ladies' night claiming it was discriminatory, and won.
No they wouldn't be any safer.
This exploit has been known about in security circles for AGES.
And MS has had several warnings, one from myself included, about four years ago.

Good thing my legs reach farther than his arms and I can kick Uwe Boll's ass ANY DAY.
Seriously - you think a man that learned how to fight with just his fists stands a chance against someone trained to use their entire body in a fight?
Please. Uwe Boll would get rolled the fuck down to the hospital with each blow I'd deliver.
Uwe Boll needs to sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up.
With Rockstar games, they start with the 360 and port to PS3, IIRC.
For each processor, this includes audio.
For the GPU, on the other hand, 4GB would be pretty nice.
Really? MW2, Fallout3, Red Dead Redemption, GTAIV, all look better on the PS3 to me. The 360 looks like it's rendering everything in 16-bit color.
It isn't. Russia has known about this since the 80s.
This reeks of some misinformation in the making.

In Soviet Russia, shortage causes YOU!
Seriously, look at their population growth anytime there's a shortage of anything!
"I finally had a system that could deliver a comparable experience without having to constantly be upgrading "
I don't know what you're doing wrong but I haven't upgraded my computer since I bought my 9800 GTX+ a few years ago and it runs EVERYTHING.
"The solar panels on the N100 are pointed in such a way that only half of them could be put even approximately facing the sun"
Incorrect. If you point the top of this bulb directly towards the sun, every panel is well-illuminated.
Now keeping it pointed at the sun is a different story.

"And your missing the other function of the lights - to be seen by other drivers."
Umm, hi, we have these things called marker lights.
"They are being stupid, and your ridiculously obvious "experiment" does nothing to prove otherwise."
You have a TON to learn about photopic and scotopic vision, I see. Until you know about that, you have NO room to talk, at all.
Again that is just shit programming and software architecture.
No, they're using the HEI.
HEDP makes FAR larger explosions than that. A single HEDP round will destroy most vehicles.
"It's questionable whether someone knowingly inhaling a carcinogenic agent should call anyone "dimlow""
Consider your atmosphere and current city pollution levels.
Rethink your statement.
Backpedal faster than a politician.
"Sometimes it won't let me in even though is my exact same face (maybe different way of combing it)"
You comb your face? Just get a razor, man!
"It does a pretty good job as long as you aren't wearing glasses, and you are well lit."
Well, I'm always well-lit, but the computer just can't detect me through the haze of smoke, maaaaaaaaaaan.
My mid-90s 180MHz Compaq desktop did this before all of them.
Dude, this technology is FAR OLDER THAN YOU THINK.
I ran it on an overclocked 180MHz Compaq back in the mid-90s. It did EXACTLY THIS - Face-recognition as a password.
"technically, yes, you have broken a law, atleast if you're in the US"
Learn your open carry laws as you are dead wrong as well.
And my fiance has a Federal Firearms License, which is TONS more restrictive than your crappy concealed-carry.
"If you're not trying to be threatening why are you exposing your firearm to the clerk?"
Because I'm trying to get the dumbfuck to suck my dick! I got loads other than lead that he can eat!
