Agreed. Any civilization advanced enough to build ships capable of interstellar travels HAS ALREADY FOUND PEACE AT HOME. No warring nation could spare the man (alien) power or resources to go looking for another planet to rape. Also, with the apparent abundance of energy (stars) and resources (gas giants, nebula, asteroids) there would be no reason to detour to find an earth like planet (unless the aliens are exactly like us, which is astronomically unlikely).
We can also JUGGLE tasks. So they are not SIMULTANEOUS tasks but more a rapid switching between multiple tasks. The switching being fast or slow, but nevertheless more than two task can be achieved in parallel.
My thoughts exactly. Don't put a fan in a 'silent' pc. I am currently running an overclocked 3Ghz 4 core intel chip with PASSIVE cooling, so no noise.
If that can run without a fan, I'm sure a media pc can run without a fan.
I have never understood the need for games platforms like xbox and playstation, to want to make their own consoles. As far as I can tell, consoles are a dead weight, the developing companies spending years developing them and lose money on every console. They have to understand they are selling software NOT hardware. Hardware is best left to cheapo Taiwanese companies and marketplace competition.
Apple is the new Sony. The Ipad being just one more example of their locked down drm'd monopolistic crap.
Whilst Microsoft has made a huge competitive market involving tens of thousands of companies all competing fairly.
Agreed, Will Smith is a lot better than any of his peers. Pursuit of Happyness was really great.
I can't help but feel that when African-Americans are in esteemed positions, they face unfair amounts of negative publicity (Obama, W Smith, Jackson, Tiger). If a Caucasian sports star cheated on his wife, no body would bat an eyelid (or it would be considered a family matter). If a Caucasian pop star is a tweaker (eg. Brittney) they are forgiven and everyone moves on. W Smith is constantly berated by the press, but who is he competing with ? Hollywood stars are mostly shit.
Ooops, better stop using Rapidshare for warez.... CEO sounds like an asshole. They have probably have been saving everyones IP's.
As far as I can tell, Rapidshare is entirely used for Warez.
They are getting close though. Mental Ray, which is the renderer of choice on most feature films, was recently bought by Nvidia and is about to release iRay. iRay uses Nvidia cards to accelerate photoreal Global Illumination. This is utterly accurate, real world lighting. Some setups show a new form of progressive rendering, where you see the finished render gradually. But this system scales up linearly so multiple cards could equal movie quality renders in realtime. Exciting time. Good news for Nvidia.
If someone opposes health care reform in the US they are either 1) Stupid and easily manipulated (that is the vast majority of Americans, also the same group that are feverishly religious ) or 2) a Rich, corporate dick sucking cunt.

and your an idiot with a computer
Wow. What a laughably fascistic way of looking at space. You would turn humanity into the Nazi's of space ?

As different as they look now from 5 years ago (ie. not much)

Case in point... Paycheck and Next. God awful Hollywood tripe.

Works in the workplace, why not start 'em young.

China has more dollars than anyone else. Hence they do not want the US to collapse.
Barbarella's suit looked better. How about exposed nipples and knee length boots ? I'm sure the other astronauts would approve.
I always play racing games 1st person. 3rd person games are the worst kind of shit.
Has anyone ever tried to cross match Geomagnetic storms with Earthquake activity on the Earth ? Seems like a plausible connection ?
He is obeying the rules of a coward. Shooting innocent civilians from a metal tank armed to the teeth.

Agreed. Anyone serious about 3d check out mental images (now owned by Nvidia) iRay running on Fermi.
Yes there are some shit games, do your homework dumb ass. However Aliens vs Predator is a recent port and it FUCKING ROCKS !
Browsing on an ipad will be pretty lame without flash.
