Troelsen claims that the book is targeted at "experienced software professionals and/or graduate students of computer sciences," and that he won't spend "three chapters on iteration or decision constructs"...First off, the book is longer than it needs to be."
"Yet. I'm not sure I want to underestimate human ingenuity that much. I'm not prepared to say "never." If life follows science fiction there will indeed one day be artificial humans that can do those things."
"Even though these machines are smarter, will they ever match human ingenuity? Are we as a race ready to accept man-made devices that become smarter than the man who created them?"
Machines will never be as innovative as humans simply for the fact that they can't love, feel pain, or get drunk.
See? I did learn something from all those years of watching Star Trek.
"A single terabyte of holographic disc storage is roughly the equivalent of 16 days of continuously running DVD movies, or 8,000 times more data than a human brain retains in a lifetime."
It's funny that the same human brain that created this breakthrough can't match its capacity, but it is still smart enough to create a device that can.
"Since the terror attacks on our homeland, a need has developed for superior, cost-effective aerial patrolling vehicles for our cities and national borders. Dynalifter® Patrollers are quieter, less expensive, and can fly three times as long as patrolling helicopters. Patrollers can "walk the beat" looking for trouble and call in helicopters for tactical response."
Why is it that inventions always have to have some military/security use in order to be deemed cost-effective or useful? That being said...
I also wonder what would happen if someone shoots at it repeatedly? Would it just pop and fall to the Earth? It must be moving slowly, making it an easy target.
The potential for transporting goods seems like its best use, although I don't think the trucking industry/lobby is going to like it very much. I guess we will see when it is tested in 'real world' scenarios.
'Yes, the very same federal government that is cutting back on college loans and food stamps will soon be issuing TV vouchers' - $1.5 billion to help U.S. households buy new digital TV equipment."
If you don't vote, then you really don't have a voice in our 'Democracy.' (unless of course you voted on a Diebold machine)
Ever wonder what would happen to our society if people couldn't watch TV for a month? I think the result would be very surprising.
Your logic is flawed, if you truly believe in 'may the best man win' then Pete should be your man. Don't think that just because he is a techie, he can't run things!
In the future, AllPeers will also have folders to allow public sharing (probably with restrictions to control copyright violations)
Why does it need restrictions at all? You can do the same thing with an unrestricted email attachment. Just put in a warning notice about sharing, but don't restrict its functionality.

Does this mean if I buy one I will get laid for certain?
We used:
Two GPU-180-L06 video/GPU water blocks (link)
One HX-360 radiator (link)
One Control Board (link)
One 120mm fan (link)
One LED display panel (link)
12ft of 3/8" hose
Standard 110v to 12v wall adapter
Now one has to consider if the time spent building and the cost of these materials could be more cheaply and easily reproduced by buying a compact refrigerator and drilling holes in it for the wiring?

So is it a concise tutorial or a bit excessive?

wow that was cool!
The shrimp was in a huge ice bowl, which added some extra style to the platter.
Platters are not flattered by your icy comment.

Office? We don't need no office, that is so 20th century. All we need now is a laptop, flash drive and a big umbrella.
Or in Pete's office, they say 'launch' a campaign.

Good luck Pete, nobody in their right mind wants the incumbent Senator Orrin Hatch who once advocated putting malware on people's computers in order to stop them from downloading songs.

"architects"? Is that even a word?
'Architects' is a word, but I guess the correct word 'designs' is just not as creative.
What pointless waste, pure foolishness of syntactic tabulations.
(Note: these are just words found and rearranged to form a sentence)
when I know they are hiring newbs from U of W that don't know their ass from a hole in the ground, this sort of thing is not a surprise to me!
Apparently they don't know their ass from a hole in the security, either.
Then nobody will be able to do anything.
There are nerds in the US that want to meet you!
But the question is, would you want to meet them?

Just use the word small, smallish just means rather small. Now the word small just looks weird.
