Isn't it JUST a little fishy that they would first announce it won't hit, and then they bring it back as a possibility?! I don't care whatever their reasons are, they are all conspiring I tell you! COSPIRING! God help us all!!
There has been a lot of news about Firefox's steady increase in the number of users. I personally wouldn't be surprised if it reached 15 percent by this time next year.
I think the word "censor" when it comes to blogging should be used carefully. It depends on what is being said. For example if it is secret company products being announced (ex: Apple and ThinkSecret), it might make sense to try and keep it secret, as it is a product that was bound by a non-disclosure agreement.
But if it is simply censoring for censorship sake about whatever the censor deems unreasonable, then that is a whole different ballpark. Then it is a infringment of First Ammendment rights.
Hubble Telescope replacement
on
Hope for Hubble
·
· Score: 1
There is a telescope on the drawing board that is ment to be a replacement for Hubble, but it has not even been considered by NASA. it is called the HOP telescope, and would be able to perform many of the same functions as Hubble, but it would be much more sensitive, and it would also be more efficient and easier to maintain.
Not to mention, the upcoming James Webb Telescope will be able to see much farther then Hubble when it comes to the infrared spectrum. But it isn't going to even launch until 2011.
When will we finally settle all these Intelectual Property suits? My guess is probably never. Along the same lines, how could the USPO allow Microsoft to patent something that was already patented? This is screwy...
when they finish all their research, and everything is all said and done, I shall be deeply disappointed if they don't at least consider Atlantis as a possible origin of man.
I know we saw an article earlier on slashdot about a preview of Intel's new dual core, but that was on a beta-motherboard. It would be great to see a dualcore P4 go head to head with a dual-Opteron!
Just when I thought it was safe to come out of my concrete bunker, I see 300,000 people's identities stolen. [puts tin foil hat back on, slams steel door]
[researchers] We shall control you with lasers
[fly] try me! You can never control me!
[researchers] Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated in 10,9,8,7...
[fly] I laugh in the face of lasers! ha! ha! ha! ha!
[researchers] 2,1... Activating neuron-control laser. Initiating first command...JUMP!
[fly jumps] I don't understand! I feel perfectly normal, but I am jumping!?!
[researchers] you have been assimilated.
I am not sure if this would damage anything in the harddrive, but what if you bought a super strong electromagnet (~.5-1 tesla) and gave it several passes over the harddrive, wouldn't that be enough to erase the data?
This sounds extremely similar to Ask Jeeves, although it isn't as pronounced of a service as AJ. I have a feeling though that this is the true future of websearch, Q and A verses trying to come up with clever keywords to get the results you want.
Just think of how much the next-generation stealth fighter costs... 250 MILLION dollars a pop. Think about that, You could have 50 Voyager missions running at that kind of price. For one, single aircraft, 250 Million dollars. Imagine all the good that could come from that, other then just another bomber. Speaking of bombers, a B2 costs something like a billion dollars a piece. What has this country come to?

This sounds extremely familure to the already-on-market TDA (Tactile Digital assistant). Is this a Microsoft copycat?
Hmm, I wonder what could be inside....
[driver] But I thought I was doing the speed limit!
[RoboTrafficCop] You were going exactly 15.253 kph over the speed limit, mister
[driver] But! BUT!!!
[RoboTrafficCop] No buts mister. Ticket amount: 150 dollars
[driver] No!!!
[RoboTrafficCop] We robots have no sympathy
Hyper-threading on a dual-core will be possible with the upcoming Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition dual-core. But with 4 virtual processors, that is going to require some SERIOUS cooling.
I am mistaken. Young grasshopper I am, yeeesss. Much do I need to learn.
But don't the most G5's already come with dual-processors?
Winamp, Seti@home, Einstein@home, Folding@home, NFSNET... you get the picture :)
Take off all your....um...inefficient circuits! Its getting hot in here, take off all your inefficient circuits!

it will be more cost effective to crunch ET's calling cards.

I sure hope the RIAA doesn't ask the Federal Govnerment for wiretapping rights to see if VoIP calls are really U2 songs. [shivvers in corner]
the LARGEST single stand in the Universe! Wait, maybe not. This is larger By far, they 2nd LARGEST strand in the universe!

Assuming this guy is being specifically targeted, what would happen if the site, well, *magically* was duplicated around the net? Hmm...
