The sci-fi one. In reality, one function of the containment is to provide a controlled environment for the fusion to take place; it just doesn't happen under 'normal' earth conditions. Break containment, and fusion stops.
From what I've heard, the graphics acceleration isn't that great anyway; the intent is that such things would be done on one of the secondary cores of the Cell...
The way SMTP works, your message may "bounce" over a number of nodes before it hits its destination. If any of these nodes use Spamhaus's blacklist (And many major nodes do), the message will be blocked. This is good, because, if nodes with a lot of bandwidth are relaying messages between a number of nodes with less bandwidth, the latters' connections do not have to deal with a large amount of spam.
The basic idea is that some of the story is told, and you then get a choice as to how the story progresses. You then get the plot from this choice which leads to another choice, etc.
For example: Blah blah blah plot... Oh no! You see a monster! Do you:
'Run Away' or 'Fight It'
On a computer, the program will just be a bunch of IFs and GOTOs; in a book, it usually tells you to turn to a certian page depending on your choice.
It is, in just about every browser except IE (Well, okay, it seems to be there in IE7, but time will tell if it's garbage). The problem is that no code is perfect; a seemingly benign function can have, for example, a bufferr overflow that allows some JS to insert code into the browser and have it run...
Except that we would call this substance matter, and, what we now call matter would be deemed antimatter. AFAIK, a system made totally out of antimatter will behave exactly the same as a system made out of matter in an identical configuration...
Yes, for a lossless format, 50% compression is good. You're probably thinking about lossy codecs, for which 50% would not be good.
Myself, I prefer lossless, so I use FLAC. If you want smaller files, but don't mind a slight drop in quality from lossless, use OGG; it has all the other advantages of FLAC...
Really? I've had... I think it's six MS mice and one keyboard die on me now. They suddenly stopped working (And, no, it wasn't the batteries being dead).
The use of "64-bit" for the original Pentium would have been somewhat of a marketing trick. We usually measure the "bittage" of a CPU as the width of its data bus. Pentiums have 32-bit data busses, but 64-bit address busses.
Taking that one step further, what if one researcher uses a program with this license to produce a breakthrough, and another scientist then uses this new knowledge to construct the world's most powerful bomb?
On a second note, many of Isamov's books that included his three laws dealt with showing their major flaws...

Perhaps we can't send physical matter, but what about using this as the link in quantum teleportation?
Actually, they use Windows CE in the voting machines...
Check out SHRDLU; it's a natural language parser which simply understands grammer by going through a set of rules.
With the indestructive [sic] nature of a diamond, and its low resale value, there isn't much a boyfriend or husband can do about it.
Diamonds, being made of carbon, actually burn quite nicely at around 800 degrees Celsius.

Using MPAA and credible in the same sentence? You've been spending too much time in alt.idealism...

Or, imagine that for every computer that connected to your server, you needed another license! Oh, wait...

Any real physicists care to confirm/deny?
No, you just (probably) browse with your threshold above -1; out of all the ones that say that, you only see the good ones.

Actually, as pyMusique shows, iTunes itself is responsible for applying the DRM to purchased songs; it's sent by ITMS unencumbered...
It is, and, if the content is DRMed, the DMCA makes this fair use illegal. That's the problem.

You're right; everyone knows you have to use BogoMIPS for an accurate comparison!
That's perfectly okay (But I wouldn't use such a thing!). What we don't want is you to charge the website every time WE visit.
As he said, the language is VBS (Visual Basic Script), a subset of VB (Visual Basic).
Why would we assume that the theif is computer-savy enough to even know what an OS is? I've had friends who didn't know...
Wow; an mp3-player that runs Dos!
Wait, if you actually change one of the electrons' spins, doesn't that mean that they decohere and are no longer entangled?
Really, I always saw them as a grue; they wait, in the darkness, and, when you can't even see the ground in front of you, they attack without mercy...
On a completely unrelated note, I love the new comment browsing system.
