The best benefit I find is the need for only a single heatsink. One giant radiator and a single large, slow case fan, and you have an extremely quiet system.
With all the fancy touch enabled UIs floating around on tablets and phones, the PC can finally make a similar evolutionary advancement. Touch screens on the desktop or a laptop are annoying to reach for, but a device sitting in the keyboard is even closer at hand than a mouse. Windows 8 doesn't seem so silly now.
It does the job, but over and above that Qt has excellent and thorough documentation. Trying to move to other frameworks can be frustrating when their docs are terse or missing entirely.
Qt took the step by allowing webkit and widgets to commingle... you can have local code running inside your browser, which can render local or remote content.
I don't doubt the technology exists, I'm merely pointing out that the demo was set up in a fake-looking way. They should have shown the printer actually printing, not just magically spitting out pages. A research company pushing a technology like this when they have no plans to produce it themselves is always suspect, and their method of demonstration does nothing to alleviate that suspicion.
The videos are nice looking, but we never see blank paper sucked out of a paper tray. For all we know, those are mock-ups spitting out pre-printed pages.
If, on the other hand, they are real, then it's impressive how unreal the technology looks!
The easiest way to simulate the real world is to put students directly into it. By the time I graduated I had accumulated two years of work experience, getting me over the initial "fresh out of school" hump. Interspersing work terms relieves debt load, gives employers a guaranteed screening method for new entry-level hires, and teaches things that students may not have been taught (like the details of languages beyond just what is required for assignments).
A competent co-op program is probably the best way of learning both how projects really work and why a good grasp of the development cycle and its hurdles is necessary.
A drop in the bucket as far as the universe is concerned. 6,000 years isn't much... not even the entirety of human civilization. Nowhere near the million+ of years that humans have existed, and indiscernable amongst the billions of years the universe has been around.
Having said that, may His noodly appendage cast me into eternal torment.
The entire point of filling an airship with gas is to displace air (and gain lift). You therefore need enough pressure inside the gas bag to hold its shape, and so you must have more pressure inside the bag than outside. Non-rigid airships would collapse and fold up if they had less pressure inside than out!
The point is that helium would leak out of a blimp, not air in (though I'm sure a small ammount of air would manage to diffuse inside after enough pressure was lost).

Asimov's Spacers tried that, and look how it worked out for them...
This turns any computer into a touchscreen. It should have come built in to all windows 8 keyboards: the metro tiles would finally make sense.

:P
I like C++ better than Javascript anyway
True fans will shell out whatever monies are necessary to get their hands on the ambrosia that is Team Fortress 2.
FA R'd quite well, thank you.

Since many are running Soviet era diesels under the hood, Detroit might not be the one revoking privileges...
Perhaps there's a reason why long posts full of links are considered lame...
Beyond 35mm you have IMAX... there's only limited appeal for the home user, I'd say. I don't have the necessary overhead space in my rec room.
"Are we the baddies?"
I'm sure Fish & Cushion would have something to say about this.

I believe the review means that the configuration software takes 50% of the CPU, not the drivers.

Not in a theatre, I can't!

So if the hydrogen container can survive the crash, why don't they make the entire car out of that stuff?
It's the old "black box" question!
I'd like to see you keep something in geostationary orbit over anything other than the equator.
An orbit has to be around the Earth's centre of gravity. The only part of the Earth that rotates around its centre is the equator.
A polar orbit (even one that matches the Earth's 24 hour rotation period) will pass over both poles.
Hell, I've got an AT&T 8086 with a COLOUR monitor for $4,800. Plus S&H and all applicable taxes.
I'd settle for using Canadian Tire Money at Timmy's. I have over $2 in my wallet now...
Pod 3 equipped with the wall-supporting Domo vehicle. HO YEAH!
