I wonder what kind of new building materials would be available if we colonized a planet such as Mars or perhaps Pluto or something far from a star. Perhaps the perfect building material is no good on earth because of nuclear decay?
No advertising is certainly not an option, at least widely, although that is sometimes proposed. Selling advertising space is a huge source of income for web services such as Google, Yahoo, Facebook, etc.
Even if Google is doing this, why does it matter? How is this affecting privacy? I don't care at all if Google knows that I did a search on ATi motherboards or NASA's R&D or how to pronounce Russian words.
If they want to do this to improve targeted advertising, go ahead. I'd rather targeted advertising than random advertising since no advertising isn't an option.
The reason that everyone has been waiting for the last couple of months is for the system to cool to less than 2 K.
Less than 2K what? Two thousand Centigrade? Fahrenheit? Damn n00bs and their lack of units, don't you realize that's the kind of mistake that swallows worlds in a fit of microblackholish pique???
2 K is 2 Kelvin, not 2 thousand. The "damn n00b" was using the proper standard scientific units for temperature.
When you don't know how to do something, where do you go? I usually got to Google first and look around. Sometimes I find something, sometimes I don't. When I can't find anything via Google, where then do you turn? A co-worker? A friend? Maybe an online community of people who would know? The latter sounds like the most promising to me.
A company isn't concerned with how you find the answer (provided you come by it legally), they just want an answer as soon as possible. The faster, the cheaper the solution man-hours-wise.
I wouldn't be surprised if you've posted for help on an online forum or asked a friend for help with something. It's no different. It's all part of research.
I imagine that this thing is pretty difficult to fly. With it going that fast, the camera would be jumping around all over the place. How can this practically be used for observation flights? You'd have to analyze it frame-by-frame.
I think he's referring to I, Robot (book, not movie), not Foundation. In that book, the laws of robotics conflict to potentially cause harm to mankind.
If an ID could be created to authenticate on all these sites, then losing the security of that ID could be fixed easily by canceling it and creating a new one. It's the same thing with credit cards. You could have multiple copies of the same card and if you lose one, you call in and get them all canceled.
Their phone would ring too. This service is supposed to avoid that.
This feature would probably be most useful if you know the person can't be disturbed (ie. they're in a meeting). You could just slydial them and leave a nice descriptive message.
Also, how would sharing work? Would the video be automatically seeded when it's done being watch? The article says it's a "zero server" method, so it couldn't be relying on numerous servers to increase streaming speed. I don't want to watch a video and then have it take up my bandwidth to seed for a while.
That would be true if a higher percentage of people used Linux. As far as I'm aware, Windows users still hold the majority of the market. If that's still true, it would be a very bad choice for AMD to make only Linux-friendly GPU's/cards.
My mistake. I didn't mean to say Intel graphics cards. I was talking about laptop hardware. I've been told to look for laptops that are entirely "Intel Inside" (not Intel CPU and ATI graphics or something) because it will most likely be supported easily in Linux.
From what I've heard, Intel graphics cards are much more Linux-friendly. My brother had a really hard time getting his old laptop working with an nVidia graphics card.
10 to 12 years for the physical training, but Batman was more than physical ability. He was in a position to determine right and wrong. That takes a lot longer to learn and not everyone is capable of such a task.
It'd be great if some laptops were sold with a blank harddrive. If someone wants Windows, chances are they'll take Vista. If someone wants Linux, chances are they won't want the distribution that is preloaded on the laptop. If I wanted to buy a Linux laptop, I'd rather it be blank so that I could set it up the way I want it.
Well I don't use GMail, but in order to take advantage of that bug, would you not have to have a GMail account? Thus, the spam would be originating from GMail, to GMail.
It was the dream that was the driving force. The dream of being to first to make whatever advance led to the competition. If scientists would collaborate more and still have that driving force dream, the results would belittle the Manhattan Project and Cold War advances.

Have attendees sign a waiver?

If it's a completely redesigned internet, will it have IPv6?
The article was indeed interesting, and believable. But it has a bad case of [Citation-Needed].

Don't know where the article is though.

Oh no! Poor Tux...

And also enjoy not being able to use Windows Update to get the lovely updates that makes Windows semi-safe.

In Wednesday's article, it was revealed that through a bug in Gmails software is was possible to send personalized spam. I guess it's true.
NASA is beginning a secret drug testing program.
It's only $1549.99 which is the average price of Sony VAIOs
