I would be interested in seeing statistics from the 80's on, to show how much power an "average" home PC or business workstation consumes. Over the years I've heard things like "it takes more energy to power it on than to just let it run", "it uses as much energy as a blowdryer", and "it uses as much energy as a lightbulb". Also, doesn't it take LOTS more energy to continually refresh RAM than it does to enable a processor? Think we could break usage down by component in these stats?
This is kind of old school, but back in the 70's and 80's we used to joke about the next great interface - the "Read My Fscking Mind" (RMFM) interface. Glad to see it's on the path to fruition.
Cheers,

I say this with complete understanding of what a lowlife Darl McBride is. May he one day get a clue and join the rest of us who have evolved a cerebellum.
Someone needs to write an ultra-violent video game where Jack Thompson goes on a hunting trip with Cheney... wait - on second thought, he shouldn't get off that easy.
I don't see a link to any videos or images - are there any? After all, you can false color radio frequencies into a visual range image. Will any videos be released, or would the content be too slow and boring to broadcast?
...that Gonzo has found a more profitable career somewhere else. Keep an eye on him - he'll probably show up later at the Carlisle group, selling weapons to our enemies.
You say we have more crimes but, in reality, the more laws (valid or not) you have, the more criminals you have. What if they start arresting folk for Intellectual Property violations, when the patents haven't been settled? What if people who download bittorrents become the 2nd largest populace in US prisions?
His words spoke of being like Jesus, not like being a Level 70 WoW hunter. I think the blame falls squarely on religion, and the guilt/self-loathing that entails. Maybe we can combine the blame and point it to religion *and* the Left Behind gaming franchises.
True, but the "spirit/intent" of this is that my kids wouldn't be exposed to violent games (which involve the killing of humanoids). So, if I follow the intent, then my kids can't play.
In reality, I don't give a darn about other people's opinions on how I raise my kids - at least I'm not forcing them to believe in old, white-haired, ultra-powerful-yet-invisible deities who watch while you poop.

Oh, now you've done it. My wife is an avid Stargate fan, and she's gating over right now to kick yer butt! ;)
And now, without further ado:
Darl who?
Tell us how you REALLY feel ;)

What?!? That was YOU?
I see that Daleks are more feasible now... Someone call The Doctor!!
Maybe we should grow this artificial life as a food source. After all, you are what you eat ;)
...welcome our wet, artificial overlords!

Catch a falling star, and put it in your pocket, and your pants will catch on fire...
Buh-bye... was fun while it lasted!
Will it play World of Warcraft??

Someone needs to email Alfredo an embedded video of copyrighted material. When he inadvertently watches it, BAM, he's gone for life.

...they create some bizarre mutant strain that runs amuck, "innocently" killing everything in sight...
...and you could power a human habitat!
coward
...of course, it will be pay-per-download torrents!
...it's not a new object - it's probably quite old.
Why not just use the "evil bit"? http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3514.html
