But really, a notebook could be nothing like a desktop without becoming all but useless as a portable PC. You can't put 2 terabytes of storage into a notebook, particularly if you want an SSD.
As cheap as computers are becoming, getting one of each has its advantages.
That sentence sounds like bullshit inserted to make the story appealing to people who aren't interested in the maths. Like the virus reference in the start. "Ooh, self-replicating; it's like DNA." It's the same thing that makes quantum physicists groan when the word "teleportation" is mentioned.
This is a fascinating pattern, but there is nothing magical, otherworldly or philosophical about it.
I've seen this idea used for pranks before. People hanging out on IRC watching a bot that was hooking up unsuspecting AIM users to each other. Later on, this became a website called Omegle.
Why are the Scandinavian countries generally so awesome with new media and civil rights? Sweden has Wikileaks and (had) the Pirate Bay, Iceland has the IMMI thing planned, now Finland allows open wi-fi...
After almost half a century of anticipating the millennium as the dawn of a new age, it's a bit difficult to say "stay in the 2000s" and mean the past.
I predict that "the 90s" will remain the cultural idiom of choice right up until they roll around again.:P
Is the Police Department now a commercial entity? Why do they buy and privately operate a.com name?
The police is a branch of the government. For security and trust alone, they should have a.gov in order to avoid being impersonated. And this couldn't have happened either.
If you want to pick a video game in order to criticize the popularity of video games as "a death of conventional literacy", then Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri is a poor choice.

(...you insensitive clod!)

Just earlier this month I WANTED to strangle Zuckerberg. How is it possible for these assholes to suck the fun out of everything?
What?

GM didn't need AOL's help to tank. :P
Well, they're consistently buying high and selling low. Their market strategy program probably has an inverted if-condition somewhere.
If they didn't care earlier, why should they care now?
It's still ridiculous on top of being unenforceable. Maybe they should sue e360 in Britain for the lulz.
Or...
Oh dear; I can see the spam subjects already.
ENLARGE YOUR PARTICLE!
Notice something?
Not so much annoying as vaguely scary. I keep looking over my shoulder for attacking wasps. :P
The IEEE is a standards body. They're supposed to work towards data being accessible and readable, not help assholes find closed formats.

That'd be really disorienting. Every time he looks at his own stream, he and everyone else watching it would be treated to an infinite recursion.
Germany's internet laws suck, alas. :(

Honestly!
Or did it get shot down? :P
(Hell, it might even have been sabotaged by spies. It's difficult to imagine anything going wrong that close to North Korea being a coincidence. :P )
"Shut the fuck up already."

Those two options suck.
You can delete stuff on Facebook? I thought Zuckerberg was doing a damn fine job of indexing for all eternity already :P
Amazing how human-like these machines get.
So do you just pour the coffee all over the server, or is there a special intake?
... so you have to double-class to manager to join?
(All this stuff about skill levels sounds funny. :P )
I can tell who the Chinese government hired to draft that statement for them.

I wanted people to give me a trillion dollars last year, but they didn't. They're so greedy and unthoughtful!

Yes, and video killed the radio star.
