It's revisionist to say that Albert Einstein did poorly in school and in higher education. He did well, and there's very little writing to indicate whether he was bored or not. The fact that he taught himself deductive reasoning, logic, calculus, and pretty much everything that made him the scientist we revere him has suggests, but does not prove that he was bored out of his mind at school.
It's possible that his gift was noticed, appreciated, and encouraged by the school. I think he finished in the top of his classes, at least wherein that information is recorded.
It was a different era then, with schools that genuinely appreciated intelligence...
The image itself won't contain any subpixel data, it can't. Except for SVG, and no browsers support doing anything like this yet, there is no format that renders to a higher resolution than a device pixel. I suppose SVG -could- use subpixel rendering, but I'm fairly certain that anti-aliasing is the extent of what is done there.
You still need to check for a collision, and you'll always need to do so. Because the probability of randomly choosing an in-use IP will always be nonzero.... On the other hand, there's no anonymity by IP by selecting random IP addresses anyway, because if you own a pool of addresses then they link back to you, otherwise you're essentially using them on loan from an ISP who does, in which case logs may exist.
Anonymity ends at the whim of your ISP, the IP addressing involved doesn't affect that.
So it costs them less per year than the same number of interns it would take to do it or trying to get an Indian prodigy via H1-B that can do the same thing.
Yeah, it's funny except I have seen one a cat waste away, unable to digest food anymore and on sedatives to take away the pain because of radiation poisoning from sitting on top of an old CRT.
Sorry man, it'd be funny if it weren't true. I doubt my dad's cat at the time was the only one. Keep your pets away from those CRTs, there's a reason the glass in the front has a very high lead content.
No, he wasn't. Because 'obviousness' is the other part of what is necessary for an invention to be patentable. And 1-click sales are obvious to all developers, 1-click sales and 1-click anythings are the reason cookies exist, they are a natural and obvious extension of cookies.
You're forgetting that the two are interchangeable, and that energy does indeed exert a gravitational pull, the concepts of velocity, mass, and energy are all interlinked in the famous equation "E=mc^2" and it's expanded momentum-including cousin.
And supercapacitor technology (while another one of those techs that seems perpetually on the brink of being workable & cost effective) is always improving.
A lot of people, namely conservatives, like to tout that having electric cars merely displaces the pollution generation to the coal and natural gas plants that provide most of the world's electricity; conveniently ignoring that even some of the oldest and most inefficient coal generators are more carbon friendly than the average car or truck.
Ah, I've come up with exactly the solution. It's the rot13 function with an added parameter, a "key" that must be a natural number. rot13 is then run exactly that many times, twice, and then once more.
Since I now own all of the natural numbers, I'll be expecting some royalties for every bit of data in the universe.
That's sarcasm is a little harsh considering they included that because they included just about everything.
That said, I'd hate to be the guy whose project it was to create all those demonstration pages. Probably given to the interns or something.
Boss: Your job is to create demonstrations involving basic arithmetic. Intern: Wait, I'm here because of my studies on octonions. Boss: I don't care. Today your job is to show people how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide.
I disagree completely. There are many choices available from both AMD and nVidia that would be otherwise good upgrades-except for DirectX 10. That's a pretty big issue. Yeah, you'll be fine playing all the current games, and maybe new games for a year or so. But in a year and a half to two years, it won't matter how good the card you bought is, and it is possible to spend $350+ on a card that doesn't support DX10, because you not only won't be able to play that game at full settings in two years (hey, that's a given) but you won't be able to play it with many of the settings at all!
DirectX 10 is just a prerequisite for a new computer just to future-proof it.
Perhaps they're saying that they can control how much current is discharged, and thus these new batteries may be more suitable for applications which may require short bursts of very high current without requiring many batteries in parallel. Anything that requires a spark could fall under this category.
Also, electric motors are limited by the voltage that goes into them, if these new batteries have a higher discharge rates, we could see more stories about electric cars beating gasoline equivalents in time trials.

Does Linux even boot on Blue Gene, or does it hang while trying to draw over one hundred thousand penguins?

Bravo for nailing the speech style!
I just renamed the article before you got there. Oops!

The theatre probably pursued them because the employee that caught them wins a $500 reward from the MPAA. Seriously.

Actually, no. The theatre industry hasn't.
I sense a great disturbance in the force, as if millions of electrons cried out in waves, and were silenced by destructive interference.
I steal cars WHILE playing GTA!

Wow! How many times do you have to refresh the post reply page before you get a captcha you can type?

That hard drive can correct itself and the every hard drive within a mile around it with that amount of error correction!
Entropy is a cosmic kick in the jewels from whatever gods one might believe in.

I just opened the control panel without a UAC prompt.
Please, stop lying.
Ah, crap. I read that backwards, my entire house is covered in armadillo and I'm wearing an aluminum helmet.
Do I still have the same protection?

Two reasons: One, the greater the mass, the more certain we can be of its velocity and position. Two, we're nowhere near that low of an energy.
