where batman jacks into all the cell phones in the city and can 'see' everything that is happening. Ooohhhh, how awesomely stupid is that. It sounds like an idea a 5 year old would invent, a bit like batman.
They are shitting bricks because fast multicore (8 core) cpu's are around the corner. We are all going the multi-cpu route.
Hence we have an extra cpu or two to do gpu calculations. So Nvidia needs to reassure everyone the gpu's are the way forward. Not multi -purpose multi-core cpu's.
Instead of moaning about it , why don't they use their open source knowledge to help STRIP THE DRM OUT OF WINDOWS 7. I know it will be my #1 priority. That and installing a HEAVY FIREWALL to manage or disable Windows 7's collusion and communication with big name software manufacturers.
It obvious that this film is another ABYSS. So the hardcore will find something to like. Most people will not get it. The BIG DIFFERENCE is that now pretty much the whole cast is like JAR JAR BINKS. 'Realistic' CG character DO NOT WORK. Hasn't Cameron heard of the Uncanny Valley http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley. This film will not totally flop, it has explosion after all, but most people are going to hate it.
Hmmm. Looking to the Forbes top 20 to use as an example of your average American seems suspect. Also Forbes does not include mega rich families like the Rothschilds or Rockerfellers, who do a great job of splitting up and hiding their wealth in institutions.
For FACTS read this (by the White house Economic council):-
"The Role of Intergenerational Transfers in Aggregate Capital Accumulation"
http://ideas.repec.org/p/nbr/nberwo/0445.html
Quote:-"only a negligible fraction of actual capital accumulation can be traced to, life-cycle or "hump" savings."
The truth is there is almost NO SOCIAL MOBILITY in the US or anywhere else.
The wealth the average American accumulates in their lifetime is INSIGNIFICANT compared to the wealth that is INHERITED.
So essentially the parent post is saying he is happy with the poor and uneducated staying that way ( or dying as quickly as possible ). Which I consider to be SOCIOPATHIC.
I would imagine that both temperature and density are not constants in a giant nebula. Due to the proximity of collapsing stars, super novas, gamma ray events, charged particle storms, moon sized asteroids floating through etc.. I'm sure there is a variety of temperature and density situations within an almost infinite array of nebula. Certainly more variety than on one lone volcanic planet which has only a small window of time to produce a very unlikely event.
Just because they are abundant in Space does not mean they would be abundant on Earth also.
The conditions in Space and on Earth are drastically different, especially an early volcanic Earth.
Space has an infinite variety of conditions and a near infinite window of time in order for unlikely events to happen.
Earth had only a small window of time and a very fragile and volatile environment including impacts from objects the size of our moon.
I think it is far more likely that this molecular development happen in Space and seeded the Earth when it had become more stable / fertile.
An even bigger realization is that if organic molecules are abundant is space, ie. in huge interstellar nebulas, and organic molecules are the building blocks of life. Then the chances are that live started out in these giant nebulas rather than on a hot as hell earth with no atmosphere. Once an organic molecule starts to reproduce out in a giant solar system sized cloud of gas, it will spread exponentially throughout that cloud. It would then only take an explosion or a passing comet to spread this self reproducing molecule or virus.
Don't be disheartened. Since we don't even know the mechanisms behind Gravity I find it hilarious it has so many zealots. We can't find it on a subatomic level, and it doesn't work as expected on a galactic level. It also predicts that 96% of the universe is invisible to us. I would say at the very least that we understand Electricity far better than we understand Gravity.
Mod above post +1 inspired genius...
When you realize the government has only just 'allowed' the mass production of wireless energy, especially since it was invented 100 years ago. You can see that there is a movement to suppress concepts of free electric energy, or widespread electrical transport within the universe. I wonder who might be against that... Power Companies, Military...
Agreed. Follow the 3rd race, the intelligent bio engineers. Damn I'd pay to see their home world and all the other bio creature they have designed. It would be like a giger world all cg and beautiful.
Duh! Macs ARE Pc's, just pc that are limited to apple approved ($$$) upgrades and software.
Damn, mac use some of the cheapest Taiwanese motherboards out there (Foxconn).
I think you are mainly paying for the chassis.
Plus they have some behind the scenes deal with intel to give them to 1st and cheapest xeons.
SSD killed the Raid(io) star. Really, who needs the fuss of raid. Unless it's for backup, there is no need for raid as far as speed goes.
SSD are already bottlenecking the 3.0Gb/s SATA II. A single SSD can produce the same throughput as 4 raided Raptors (=fast drives).
Plus anyone can install and SSD into an existing setup, Raid requires a lot of reinstalls and drivers etc..
From Wikipedia:-
"In theory, a self-replicating spacecraft could be sent to a neighbouring star-system, where it would seek out raw materials (extracted from asteroids, moons, gas giants, etc.) to create replicas of itself. These replicas would then be sent out to other star systems, repeating the process in an exponentially increasing pattern."

I have been loving discovering Feynman. As much as he reveals and explains interesting physics, he also maps the limits of our current understanding. Questions like, how does gravity and matter work, why does light refract, simple aspects of physics that we still don't understand.
Why spend 1000 man years developing a 3d comedy act ? It's much more effective and cheaper to pay the current comedy star to stand on stage and deliver an act, or on a cheap set (sitcoms). Does Comedy benefit from interactivity ? I don't think so.
Since the moon always faces the Earth the same way.
Could we sent a rocket there with a tethered cable ?
Then we can do the whole space elevator thing and ditch the expensive rockets.
Only joking.
Seems funny that we are going back to 60's technology to get us back to the moon.
Kubrick and Clark would be turning in their graves.
If Youtube costs anything to run, that's their problem. The fact that wikipedia is run by 6 core people and the rest is moderated by users, leads me to believe that youtube's running cost are bloat. Hosting video is as simple as hosting jpeg's these days. Youtube should be free because it just isn't that good. However if BBC wants to start charging I would consider it.
Before AVG 8. Now AVG doesn't even seem to remove viruses, it just tells you they are there. Also, their new 'feature' of having AVG search EVERY SINGLE HIT you have in a google search is RETARDED.

Chrome OS will be nothing more than an elaborate browser unless major software companies port their software over.
I'm not holding my breath...
Is this what dreams are for ?
I feel like my brain goes 'garbage collecting' every night...

Yeah. You loons are right. The problem with NASA is all the blacks. HAHAHAHA !!! Do you know how racist and stupid you sound ?
