  1. Re:Name? on Microsoft To Launch 'Question' Site · · Score: 1

    Wait Is that amateur sex change . com or amateurs exchange . com Either can be painful I suppose.

  2. Re:Cool on Team Confirms UCLA Tabletop Fusion · · Score: 1

    Per the Article, this will be able to generate 200,000 electron volts (eV).

    1 wattsecond (Ws) = 6,241,457,005,723,417,000 eV (http://www.digitaldutch.com/unitconverter/)

    That says 6 Quintillion* eV to generate 1 Watt of energy for 1 second.

    Not much energy in this form, and as stated before it is not self-sustaining.

  3. No 12 monkeys on Neuroscientists At MIT Developing DNI · · Score: 4, Informative

    I read an article many years ago about them doing this to live human patients. Via a fiber cable brain wet-ware implant, a blind man was able to discern colors and rudimentary objects. He did have a short seizure during the interview; however, once the subject got passed that he immediately requested that the researchers continue.
    Unfortunately this was so long ago I cannot remember the magazine or relocate the article. But googling artificial vision shows a few parts of history and HOWSTUFFWORKS has a full set of details

  4. Gamers DOOMED on Slacker or Sick · · Score: 1

    So now we have the gamer gets his/her high off the joy of the victory, the chase, or whatever, meanwhile heavy mouse and keystroke use are damaging the body and mind. Therefore, we have people who are constantly riding the joys of the game and then maybe suffering these other symptoms. I know folks like this anyway. And they wonder why we need Rydlyn and various forms of Lithium for bi-polar disorders eh? I'm not putting my games away, but I am certainly going to limit my time a bit.

  5. Re:They killed Razza! on Rat Cunning May Allow For Island Colonization · · Score: 4, Funny

    Well, now its proven that rats are, indeed, the smartest beings on Earth. This was one of their cruelest experiments on us yet.

  6. Re:There is more to motherboards than proc slots on AMD / Intel Hybrid Motherboard · · Score: 1

    Forget about some sort of Chimera with multiple different parts running. Why would you want a 64-bit CPU with an AGPx1 slot?
    I'm curious if this can be twisted into a sort of multiple processor platform. Double your RAM, sure, but better still -- double your CPU! Triple it?!?
    The plug and play requirements would be staggering I'm sure, and Linux better step up quick if that happens. It might even be something Micro$oft backs to keep their edge.

    If it works.

    From http://hypertextbook.com/facts/1999/DavidFriedman. shtml Lightning. National Weather Service Office, Newport North Carolina. "The air near a lightning strike is heated to 50,000 degrees F, hotter than the surface of the sun!"
