Meanwhile, we have a recent case of two Irish guys beating a Swedish guy half to death on a cruise. They were caught by the guards and on camera, and their identities and whereabouts in Ireland are known, but the Swedish government are not willing to do anything because the crime was not serious enough. Compare this with a broken condom.
The "cablegate" leaks clearly showed that the Swedish government have very close ties to the U.S. one, something that they are trying to keep from the public eye. Assuming that the U.S. are pressuring the Swedes right now is probably not very far fetched.
If you spent years learning something that you think someone can learn from a well written wikipedia article, maybe you should try to get a refund on those years missing from your life.
I'm one of those few people here that have reached the age where I can remember a time before Wikipedia. I know, I know, you think I jest, but it's true. And it was not pretty.
Trying to find a decent summary about any subject with a google search before wikipedia was very frustrating.
Don't make me start on the wonders of google compared to what was before it.. Altavista.
Great! Now if just everyone would get your mandated paypal account, we're almost there. Another bonus is that paypal will know exactly everything you read about. Too bad about the people behind wikileaks though, but I guess they are not important enough to care about here. Besides, paypal wouldn't have shut them out if they weren't doing anything wrong, right?
Judging by your post, it appears that you have problems learning your own language. It certainly appears that simple spelling, capitalization, punctuation and correct grammar in the English language are apparently beyond your abilities.
Did it ever occur to you that the person you replied to isn't a native English speaker?
You can think about whatever ratio that makes you happy, that doesn't change actual ratios shown when implementing algorithms in the GPU vs a general purpose CPU. A GPU does hundreds of very simple calculations in parallel, the CPU doesn't, it's quite simple.
First of all, people are trying to do this already, probably on much more powerful hardware. Second, simulating an organism to the level that we need is probably a lot more demanding than simulating a galaxy to the level that these people need.
You seem to forget that emulating a modern GPU would require somewhat up to a hundred cores from a generic CPU. This is why they exist as a separate component.
Of course they use the cheapest technology, when they want to produce the cheapest product. The point they want to make is that the consumer doesn't necessarily want to pay the extra money to get the extra expensive parts when they are not necessary for the functionality. You don't need the glossy shiny polished glass surface to check the bus timetable on your smartphone, for example.
You mean like how everything he films with his camera will become covered under the MPEG-LA patents and thus forbidden to share? Too bad I'm not trolling, like you.:(
It was laughable back then and it's laughable now. I still check Aminet now and then, and there are still crazy people that release everything for the Amiga as shareware. It's insane when you compare with all the 100% free applications that people spend hours and hours on for linux.
Not very insightful. You seem to say that a CPU today is error-free, and if this is true, the part of the new CPU that does the checks could also be made error-free so there's no problem.
Well, they aren't rock-solid today either, so you can not trust their output even today. It's just not very likeley that there will be a mistake. This is why mainframes execute a lot of instructions at least twice, and decides on-the-fly if something went wrong. This idea is just an extension of that.

He's wanted for questioning.

Don't troll the feeds.

You mean like BBC News? I just clicked on the first UK article I found to give an example: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-11751079
Care to link to the most recent dupe? Haven't seen one in a while.

Now I'm confused. Would recycling a bible be a good thing or an evil?
Citation needed for bullshit like that.
There are people working on solving this problem, check out for example this link: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/Musopen/record-and-release-free-music-without-copyrights
If you bother to actually read, he states in the first post that it doesn't, but that the law might be similar.

But.. it's so shiny! The polish alone must be at least $10.

Merely whining about an obvious tongue-in-cheek comment and taking it seriously, is just wooosh.
And it won't make us Amitards happy either, because like.. it doesn't really run on any Amiga with relevance.

No, that was the Google CEO.
OMG! Thanks for telling us this, I bet no one that knows what a computer program is knew this!
