That is why I felt the need to point that out above. Many will buy a 12-core CPU in ~2014, just as people who don't do CPU-heavy tasking are buying 6-core Thubans now with the anticipation of a processing power gain far greater than really happens.
You're forgetting the CPU suckage that is malware. With a 12 core system, regular users will never be visibly affected by "slow PC" due to malware. Get prepared for a steady rise in un-cleaned botnets.
That explains the idiots I've seen who try to beat an emergency vehicle through an intersection. They're deaf... and apparently blind too. I've been in a situation where I didn't hear or see an ambulance, but everyone on the other side of the street was stopped on green and didn't go. Radio + trees made the ambulance silent to me, but a little situational awareness made me safe. Considering that everything is always silent to deaf folk, they must rely on visual cues, which work in the majority of cases.
At first I have to admit, I thought that sounded a bit nuts, but after watching the video where he jumps out of a old Malibu and gets out a gun yelling "GET OFF THE MOTORCYCLE!" I'd have to agree with you, I think if I was that motorcycle driver I would have got out of there quick.
Hell, I would have driven the motorcycle into the guy and smashed him against his car. It's the only weapon immediately available when a crazed attacker is obviously threatening one's life.
Maybe the motorist somehow has a right to privacy until there's an arrest? Sure, public road, etc, but if an officer is being a &#%* and pulling you over for no reason, drawing his gun, yelling obscenities and potentially humiliating you for no reason, should that humiliation be compounded by youtube? COPS (the TV show) often fuzzes the faces of people who aren't arrested.
Welcome back 5½ drives. We all have missed you! I have never understanded the idea to make smaller HD's when there have been need to bigger storage space.
5 1/4 drives will be good for SSDs in some scenarios, but 5 1/4 drives don't fit well in rack-mount architecture unless you're planning on using a multi-U machine. Also, 5 1/4 spindle drives were never that great because they couldn't spin fast enough (and be gyroscopically safe).
Even in the U.S.A., handshake length differs. When you go to another country, some grab your hand and pump for the entire conversation in a ritual beat, using it as emphasis while they talk, others never shake hands at all.
governments here are quite happy to erect toll plazas "just to pay for construction of this road," and then leave those toll plazas in place indefinitely
A legitimate toll gate is quite different from a toll-bandit, who would chop down a tree (turnpike) and only allow continued passage for percentage of cargo or giving up a horse (horse thievery!).
how does more government control mean more freedom of information?
How did government control of the postal service mean more freedom of information (getting a letter from A to B in less than several months!)? How did government control of highways mean more freedom of movement (Fewer highway robbers and turnpike toll bandits)? How did government control/regulation of telegraph, radio, television, telephones mean more freedom of information? NN is not about "make content fair", it's about "make queuing/lining up for service fair"
Where was he when the 70 Dems were against NN? Why didn't he warn against "how long it would take before the Daily Kos website loads significantly more quickly than the Fox News website"? Hopefully it just took him this long to learn about the reality of the issue, and he's not just a partisan spew nozzle. I sent the same warning to Rush Limbaugh when the 70 Dems opposed NN, but I never heard him change his tune regarding "Gubmint takeover of the 'Net"

The End of Forgetting

In traditional societies, where missteps are observed but not necessarily recorded, the limits of human memory ensure that people's sins are eventually forgotten.
Um, no. In traditional societies, sins are remembered long past the lifetime of a person due to gossip, and continued gossip, and then oral history, their sins are immortalized in song, and eventually when people learned how to write, those songs were written down. To reinvent yourself in those days you used to have to move to another town. The only thing the Internet has done that is new is allow almost everyone on the planet access to every small town's gossip.
Seriously. The "Grandfather" paradox covers so much more than whether someone gets born. It covers any change.... Killed your grandfather? Another dude fills his place? Well unless you just wanted to kill a grandfather, any grandfather, now you're not going back in time. Or you're going back in time and killing Dude #2, (which turns into a ping-pong match between you killing two grandfathers in different "timelines"). I like the "Whatever happened, happened. Whatever will happen, will happen" theory: Sure, go back in time, but either expect to be part of the cause of the history you know, or expect to be disappointed because history will lay out exactly the way [the books/your memory] says, because it did.
The seemingly impossible things that relativity allows is a kind of proof that Newton is right and Einstein is wrong. We'll all laugh at him after light isn't bent around the eclipse.
And far from Kim Jong Il being a representative of a non religious ruler - he's the very definition of one gone wrong.
How many non-religious leaders are/were corrupt, sadistic heads of communist states? That would tend to skew the pool a little. I've not heard of any beneficent ethical-humanist heads of state.
Just to make sure (I've never read the WPA2-EAP specs), the login username/password for access to the wireless is encrypted with another layer and isn't now cleartext to any malicious authenticated user? Any place with single sign-on for Wireless and Computers could be seriously exposed to internal baddies.
Except if you had RTFA, you'd note that the Trekkie was holding a sign that said "God Hates Jedi". I think he was one of the serious protesters, but got lumped in with the comic-con spoofers.
the plaintiff probably was pissed their JC Penney catalog was put in the trash by their mom, so they couldnt look at all of the half-nekkid models showing off JC Penney Bras and panties...
which, as Star Trek has taught us, is far more provocative than anything on the Internet.

Quite a few 55mph highways are very straight with off/on ramps and no hills. Just because it's illegal doesn't mean it's not safe.

It's as if millions of fanboys suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced
Nothing silences a fanboy.

Um, I think your irony detector might be defective - you might want to see if you can get it exchanged for a working one...
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let you borrow it to read my comment with. +5 Funny was a pretty big tipoff that...

I had to actually RTFA. *angry face*
