Yeah, I tried to use UML for modelling, but it looks like EVERY time I need to do my code and then make adjustments in model. UML should be just used for high abstraction stuff, but then it is really better to just do it with custom blocks instead of strict.
What? I have small peltier module, which has about 50% efficiency (it consumes 260W, and moves 130W of heat). I believe AC systems have higher efficiency...
Perhaps some chemical reaction that pulls carbon from the air directly to make ethane, then another reaction that converts the ethane to ethanol to be piped to places that can burn the ethanol for electricity.
Would methane be ok? If so, it is already done with CO2 and sunlight.
basically more GPGPU usage (i.e. the use of the graphics chip to process regular programs) and the co-existence of "competing" technologies like ray tracing and rasterization
Hmm, they aren't really competing technologies. Raytracing CAN be an extension of rasterization, some RT algorithms even use some form of rasterization for visibility testing... But if nVidia don't embrace RT, they risk going to second position (no, not extinct, as you can do RT on nvidia cards today, but it would be better with some native api and better hardware support).
Yes, it MAY become graphics card, for example when they finally develop framebuffer logic (to act as card without acceleration). Then they plan to make vga emulation, so you could boot your computer with this card. You can read more in their FAQ
Yep, I referred to "nazi". It looks from other posts that you are right. I didn't consider word "nigger" just because I never use it (yes, I know this word).

suppress
Verb
1. to put an end to (something) by physical or legal force
2. to prevent the circulation or publication of (information or books)
The moderator does not suppress it, you can still view it if you want. Nothing prevents you from reading all posts, regardless of their moderation score.
Students should be given grants to study sciences, and no grants for the other easy subjects that universities seem to push these days.
It is happening right now in some countries in Europe. In Poland it is "ordered degrees". Students of technical degrees with best grades from middle school will be granted with about 1000PLN/month.
I wanted to mod this, but I'll reply instead. It's not censorship, it's just moderation. Censorship would mean deleting his comment. You can still view his comment, you can also set your settings so that you can see all flamebaits and/or trolls. Most people (including me) just think GP post is flamebait, so when they have mod points, they help other people by marking it (and if you really like to read flamebaits, such moderation helps too).
Sure, if you say "Many blind eyes make bugs shallow" it will not hold. The premise of this statement is that there ARE some eyes which are actually watching.
Hmm, I misread your question. Actually many eyes DO make bugs shallow. If this is not true, why bother with peer review in scientific journals? That there is a bug in a code doesn't mean it's harder for bugs to slip through. It's harder, but not impossible. Show me some big bug-free code written by one programmer and not checked by anyone else.
If microscopic rfid tags will be popular, there will be also firewalls, which can jam and/or warn you about them. Heck, I would make it for myself (with small processors and kits like arduino, it's already easier than ever).
Most of this confusion is about difference in free=free as in beer || free as in speech. In polish we have separate words like "wolne" for free as in speech and "darmowe" for free as in beer. But we have other problem, because "wolne" also means "slow" so "wolne oprogramowanie" means "free programs" and "slow programs". This is not helping very much. I see only one solution: invent new word for free as in speech (both in english and polish).

No, now it transcended and is above all earthly rails.
So this is really a 200%, 1W of power moves 2W of heat.

If not electricity, then nuclear power or some chemical light emitting reaction would be suitable.

At least no one yet used the N word. (I mentioned it, so now expect it in 3.. 2.. 1.. )

The rule was formulated and named by Eric S. Raymond in his essay "The Cathedral and the Bazaar". It was not very hard to find after wikipedia article.
And when you try to make your own beer, they hire Steve Donkeykong to throw barrels at you.
Yeah, Libre Open Source Software (LOSS) will sound really good ;)

You will be eaten by a grue.
This "Laughing at memes" meta meme is not funny anymore either.
