I have to say that only 32 seems pretty impressive. If you look at software, Windows has had innumerable bugs and continues to find and fix them years in.
Although I'm not sure it's a direct comparison between the number of transistors and the number of lines of code...
Fixing hardware flaws means re-printing chips, which means re-engineering a number of steps in the chip making process (Changing masks), as well as re-calculating em-fields and heat dispersal across a chip to insure it won't melt or short circuit. It's not like they can just white-out the mistakes.
Yup, sounds like the futures going to be awesome
Giant Robots, Flying Cars, Cures to all diseases
But the only question I really have is... ... ...
What are we going to do with all the mansicles?
Didn't we already have an article debunking the effectiveness of aluminum foil against RF. It even went to say that it would amplify certain signals.
Sorry, but I doubt the validity of at least one of those articles based on the fact they contradict.
Is it possible that NASA is more interested in the location, while the news reporter writing about it figured that people reading quantities would find the information more interesting than the location...
Conquerers series, the copper heads were a group of people with wire embedded into their brains to allow them to directly interface with a plane. To that extent, yeah, could be interesting to see humans flying planes. An interesting change in how humans fly planes now.
News today shows that recent advances in quantum design have produced the first quantum sprite for a game. The game, called Q*bert uses cutting edge isomorphic graphics to allow a player to navigate a three dimensional map.
There is no news as to whether the game will actually be used for entertainment.
I love it how no one could even think of turning off the computer on their kids nowadays. Did anyone else besides me have parents who said, "You've watched more than enough TV. Turn it off" ?
These parents who think a game will affect their kids development more than they can aren't fit for parenting.
and I love seeing how far the McDonalds Coffee is Hot lawsuits are going to go.
Boxes of toothpicks have instructions now. Need I say anymore?
What if it is a link to a Sony Operated Website, that still fits under the "point to a website" aspect of the grandparent comment. I think the point of the statement was they don't need to distribute source code with it.
Yes, they do need to make it accessible, and no, none of this is going to affect how much sony stuff I buy.
Wheeled robots?
What happens if the robot gets some tissue stuck in an axle. Wouldn't that be a bigger issue than most of the surguries requiring the bots?
I think we've successfully taken a step backwards.
Yet more proof that English was created by a fleet of drunk monks.
Etymology: Latin, venom, poisonous emanation; akin to Greek ios poison, Sanskrit visa; in senses 2 & 4, from New Latin, from Latin
If virus were directly transcribed from latin, the proper plural would be virii, but because English is composed of 85% German, 65% Latin, and 25% French, at least 50% of it must be butchered.
The universe was created ten days ago by an omnipotent cat named Ted.
He has graciously implanted all your memories to keep you from going insane.
In ten days time, the universe will be destroyed, killing everyone instantly and painlessly.
After this, Ted may re-create the universe again
Don't try to argue that this isn't real because you remember something that happened over ten days ago, because those memories were the holy gift given by the gracious Ted and denial of them is blasphemy.
I think there's probably a simpler solution.
Highlight text in color by how recently it was added.
Doesn't even need to be an intense FF0000, but something mild like a 440000 or a 333300
Range the colors based on stability, and let black text be what has been approved by an editor or someone walking the pages working for wikipedia.
Pay for the editors with ads that are related to the articles you're looking at.
e.g. companies paying for every time someone links to their site to buy...metal detectors from the metal detector page, or cookbooks, from the foods page. I find that a lot of the time, I don't mind the ads if they're related to what I'm doing, and they're not intrusive, causing epileptic seizures, or blocking parts of the page I'm trying to read. Hell, I'll actually use some of them when they're not flashing my eyes out of my head.

Oooooh, This one's Dumbass Flavored ^_^
So now all books disclose nothing but the truth?
Montauk Project anyone: "The secret to time travel is an amplified orgasm!"
It's in a book that doesn't explicitly say its fiction.
I only hold books better than websites because people who publish books can be sued for libel if they are seriously breaking bonds.

I'm just waiting for someone to patent it... I mean dark matter holding galaxies together... a material like that and someone'd be really rich!!!
By the light of the full moon, Steven Spielberg will transform into a Were-DVD.
Hidden in its heavily wrapped box, it waits to devour your face.
The new roomba, now complete with the entire works of Konji Kondo amd Nobou Uematsu.

But we can't elect Bush a 3rd time.

That leads to the following:
1. Statistics immediatly improve a statement's validity.
2. Statistics can be presented to support any statement. [see the parent comment]
3. There are statistics to support this.
AND NOW, METALLICA IS RELEASING THEIR SONGS FOR PLAYBACK ON CAMERAS ONLY USING THE AWESOME SD CARD!!!
hmmmmm...
Well, my camera can do audio... and takes SD cards, so why not.
It think this may be a big step toward the music industry understanding the complex concept of "teh interwebz"
I love it how no one could even think of turning off the computer on their kids nowadays. Did anyone else besides me have parents who said, "You've watched more than enough TV. Turn it off" ?

I think it all depends on whether you like linux or not...
I'm not going to touch that with a ten foot pole...
I'm working on it, I'm working on it...
Hey, who knows, it could happen.
What if it is a link to a Sony Operated Website, that still fits under the "point to a website" aspect of the grandparent comment. I think the point of the statement was they don't need to distribute source code with it.
Yes, they do need to make it accessible, and no, none of this is going to affect how much sony stuff I buy.
I stopped buying their stuff six years ago.
A 10 foot ape,
I don't want to know what kind of bone problems the species had.
Can you imagine the growing pains?
Wheeled robots?
What happens if the robot gets some tissue stuck in an axle. Wouldn't that be a bigger issue than most of the surguries requiring the bots?
I think we've successfully taken a step backwards.
Why does this remind me of refurbished icbms crashing instead of dropping a satellite payload into polar orbit?

It's just recursive enough to work!!!
Come on, in two years, you're going to need 2ghz in your fridge so the new version of windows can keep your food cool.
