Yup.
But remember that it's only a fetus after a couple of weeks. Before that, it's an embryo. Bare naming issues aside, you have to draw a line somewhere between a couple of cells and a human being. Getting rid of a couple of cells is only a big issue if the morality aspects get blown way out of proportions by religious zealots. No, it's not a human being.

slownewsday? How is this even worth mentioning? Ok, we can do some nice Bush-bashing, but if we have to use these old themes it almost looks like there weren't any new ones.
>Get it through your heads; there's no such thing as an "independant".
But there's a boatload of people who think "speling don't mater."
Where I come from, you're considered illiterate if you can't spell. But around here it really doesn't seem to matter. A sales rep just confused "their" and "they're" in a presentation in front of a customer - 2 times in a row. Maybe that's why he's making the big bucks.
Seriously, why don't we put the cores into the memory DIMMs? It's been tried before but now it seems that a CPU core is just a little commodity thing, and memory bandwidth is where the bottleneck is.
Add a cheap one where the Taiwanese PCB manufacturer didn't have their process under control and the backplane smokes, taking 3 drives with it (and triggering the end user's automatic fire suppression system.)
I had hoped it might be like a VR3 with updated hardware, but no... Darn. Please, please can somebody build a VR3 with a GB of Flash, 256 MB RAM and a faster ARM? The concept was fantastic, it just needed a little more performance.
That's probably in the Microserf world. Linux, embedded anyone? I use C++ only sometimes and have yet to see any use for C#. No, I'm not a Windows app coder.

That's what I meant by "primitive". Like an RC network and a diode.
Mmmmh. Add a primitive power supply and seal the whole thing in an AC plug.

Firefox+Adblock Plus+Noscript+Privoxy. One of them got it.
Did anybody notice that their product is called Clouseau?
Looks like a good way to squeeze some decent money out of DHS.
I'd ask him if he can filter out TOR.
>which actually completes your small theory of strings,
Those aliens sure have poor command of the English language.
Sorry, I actually have it on paper.
>I have an invisible friend in the clouds who loves me unconditionally.
This is generally called a delusion.
Voters, voters, voters, voters.

Is the cat naked?
ought to be enough for anybody.

I looked at it, but compared to the VR3 the Zaurus was big, complex and expensive. I liked the simplicity of the VR3.
>Add an external disk array
That's where it gets interesting.
Add a cheap one where the Taiwanese PCB manufacturer didn't have their process under control and the backplane smokes, taking 3 drives with it (and triggering the end user's automatic fire suppression system.)
Oops! I saw it happen.
I had hoped it might be like a VR3 with updated hardware, but no... Darn.

to find the infringing code.
>A black hole made earth go into neverland. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperion_(novel)
Gregory Benford has a few more interesting black hole novels: Eater and Cosm come to mind. Maybe Artifact too.
>What about the backups?
Not a big deal. You can buy petabyte tape libraries from a number of vendors... Quantum/ADIC, Overland, Sun/STK etc.
that is has a BCD unit?
Finally I can run my COBOL code at optimal speed. Yay!
