This is an important and informative post and I have no mod points...
The industry already knows about the harmful effects on children, which is why the games have age ratings. I've seen pre-teens playing grand theft auto, with the parents clearly oblivious to the age rating.
Someone could post the checksum to a website. They wouldn't be guilty of copyright infringement in doing that (I don't think) but the appropriate hacked client could then get the file from Amazon easy.
They are comparing a per-day value from Fukushima to a 10-day value from Chernobyl, that's why there's a factor of 10 difference, and they have taken it into account.
AFAK The original design of the ps3 didn't even have a GPU, the cell is more than capable.
You're right about the first part AFAIK, but no, it isn't. The cell is far too weedy for doing realtime rendering. It doesn't even have dedicated texture filtering support, so it would have to emulate that. A Bi/TriLerp being a horribly expensive thing to emulate...
The cell gets used a fair bit to take some load off of the GPU, by doing pre-culling of triangles and post-process effects, but it's still an order of magnitude less powerful than the GPU is.
Linux dominates the server software market because Windows sucked huge nuts for a couple of decades (I gave up on it long before Windows 7, so I can't speak of current Windows technology, but I'm guessing you don't disagree)
The modern Windows Server comes in a "core" version, which only has a command-line shell, no UI. How's that?
Of course they're the same, it was the Nintendo Famicom. Oh, you mean NES. Right.
The game releases for the NES were in a different language to the Famicom, and in a lot of cases were altered for the target market (games were made easier for the American release). That takes a while.
This isn't a translation delay though, the translations take months and are already well over with by this point. This is them releasing on different dates because they can.
I noticed the hyperbole, a technique which is generally used when someone wishes to point out how ridiculously high/large/etc something is. Except US "gas" prices aren't high. We would love it if petrol was as cheap as they have it!... which was the point I was making that you entirely missed.
We had a global-accessible share on the school server. All the school PCs had the VBScript interpreter enabled. I wrote a program that would constantly read a file (based on username) off the server, and display its contents. Another script could append to someone else's file. A chat program, basically. Based around *constant* network disk access.
The network was down for a week, the server had to be replaced. I got in trouble. On the plus side, the punishment basically involved working with the new IT guy to catalogue all the PCs round the school, and I got to play with the old server (which wasn't stable, the disks were fucked).
Slashdot Mirror
That mirror will be performing a vertical flip, so I'd expect the picture to be the same way round horizontally as any other TV.

That's pretty cool.

"Current Xbox"?
The current xbox is the xbox 360, which has a 3-core powerpc cpu. Each core of it bears a striking resemblance to the cell's PPE.

As a gay man, I find any suggestion of liking Apple products offensive - if I wanted shiny, overhyped, mass produced crap I'd be straight.
That does describe most women, admittedly...
Englishmen aren't effeminate, that's the French.
no UI
Damn it I seem to be missing a "G".

It's some independent researchers. I wouldn't worry about the government adopting it.
Paypal is a bank. A European bank.

It's incredible.
It's not as bad a name as LPG.
Liquid Petroleum Gas. Liquid Gas.
s'ok, I don't smoke.
Ask for a gas can in the UK and you'll most likely get a propane gas bottle.
Which is a gas.
Because I'm British and think it's a stupid name.

Really? A full tank of "gas" only costs £70 (~$112 US) here.
Every process on a system already runs under a user account. Even the process that displays the login prompt. Shouldn't be a problem!
Interesting idea: Different IPv6 address per user account.

And I still got an E in A-Level IT.
