Not to mention the hazard of hooking up to a source that can supply 12 volts at 400 or more amps. You've got to have a fuse on that thing, but suppose you have a short upstream of the fuse. It's possible, and in that event you'll burn your car down, explode your battery, and shower yourself with hydrochloric acid. If you drive a Geo Metro, nothing to lose. Go for it.
Current x86 processors already emulate the x86 architecture. Converting every x86 instruction into a RISC type instruction takes a lot of effort and transistors. A big reason why Intel would like to switch processors is so they can clean up the mess that evolved out of the old 8086 CPU. They tried it once with the i860 (or was it i960?) and now they are trying it again.
If they emulated the old x86 stuff, they'd lose any advantage of a clean start.
AMD on the other hand, can't afford to make a clean start, so they have to stick with the old x86 instruction set and extend it.
Michigan doesn't exist. If you think I'm crazy, ask yourself "Have I met anyone who claims to be from Michigan?"
Of course you haven't. Nobody in their right mind would claim that they are from Michigan. In truth, Michigan is a myth invented by liberals from Ohio.
You haven't offended me. We're just engaging in that time-honored tradition of the sparring of wits in which there are no winners or losers, just enjoyment of the sparring on both accounts. When I saw your first statement that I responded to, I thought it was rather black and white, and ripe for a lampoon that would start something. A troll perhaps, but a troll with the best intentions in the long tradition of honorable debate. Of course, behind every black and white statement, there is a human being who most likely doesn't see the world in black and white, and your latest response has confirmed that axiom for me once again. I find myself in basic agreement with you, and that brings to mind the thought that all men of goodwill can always find common ground.:-)
You've invented the idea of a kind of organism, which you haven't supported with anything at all. It's a common creationist red-herring, and it arises from a lack of understanding of what evolution is and is not.
It's not my job to educate you, merely to state the facts. If you reject what is true and has been observed, nobody can help you.
That article is the product of an ignorance of evolution. Evolution is the change in genotype over time. That has been observed, and has been documented thoroughly. Whatever other strawmen you can dream up don't change the facts.
$1500 isn't ultra expensive, it's entry level for some types of scopes. You're not getting into ultra-expensive amateur scopes until you spend about 15 grand or so.
But I think you can find some really nice scopes in your price range. Pick up a catalog from either Celestron or Meade and buy something. Both of those companies make top notch stuff.
The Human Genome project was completed without much fanfare or notice, despite the fact that it was a challenge harder than going to the moon.
And now we're working on protein folding and other advanced biotech problems. These are all much harder than going to the moon, yet we can accomplish them without a national committment of billions of dollars. The reason is that these large project become easier with every advance in knowlege.
It's actually a really good sex scene. It won't make you spontaneously blow a load in your pants, but it DOES move the plot forward and explains a lot in it's own way. That particular bit of screwing happens immediately after the fall of Prime Intellect. The first thing the two survivors do is have sex, symbolizing the re-emergence of the first fully biological/natural humans in several hundred years.
Read it, read it now. It really was worth the three hours that it took me to get through it. And send the guy some money if you like it. We need to encourage more of this.
I live in Austin and I can tell you that low cost of living is NOT a reason to move here. A tiny little house of about 1000 square feet will cost you a pile of money if it's located in a nice neighborhood in town. Even my average sized house in the Great Hills costs more than a 4000 square foot house in Michigan where I grew up.
But if you want to live close enough to Austin there's plenty of little towns all around where you can get a nice house cheap.

Is that Pascal compiler Turbo, or normally aspirated?

Nethack is a game for programmers. Why don't you write a script that moves randomly until you get the amulet? It won't even be considered cheating.
I've got that on vinyl. Haven't listened to it since 1986.
That story must have been sent by Pioneer 10. Give it 12 hours or so, it's a long way out.

I'm not part of that group that says you must be rich to be worth something...so what's this about remaking everyone in my image?
And there's a flaw in the conservative "fuck the poor" mentality. It assumes that when person A gets rich, person B can survive on person A's trash.

Phenotype follows genotype. Genotype changes over time. The fact that you are not capable of imagining this is not evidence that it does not happen.
Don't type so much, it doesn't make you any smarter.

Actually, it's not even a debate. Evolution is a fact, and we've seen it happen more than once in the lab and in the wild.
Even the explanation about how evolution happens, called the theory of evolution, isn't the slightest bit controversial among biologists.
The only ones who get worked up about it have an emotional attachment to other unscientific ideas.
Who's lame? People who don't know what they're talking about but call other people lame.

This comment ought to make the moderator's heads explode. Is it flamebait? Is it informative? Is it interesting? Probably all three.
The problem with getting rid of X is that most people really like it, and nothing out there even comes close to the features.
Hint: it's not all about the pretty pictures on the screen.
Processors are only up to what... A couple billion operations per second. And doubling every 12-18 months. Not good enough for you? sheesh.
Where did you see this message?
I can find any word in the dictionary. 100 bucks. How about it?
I've heard some people say that Blender was hard to use. They don't know what hard to use means. They should try this version.
Looks like Blender is going multi-lingual! cool.
