Good point, but...

We will not run out of energy or metal & mineral resources since these are highly reusable & abundant. FOOD is what we are about to run out of, and I doubt there is much of THAT out there.

Black?

If LOHAN had gone black then we wouldn't know, would we?

@Titus

You missed the point. She obviously had TOO MUCH esteem without the intelligence to support it. All the willpower in the world will not help much, if you don't know what you're doing.

bounty

We tried that in FL a couple of years ago. Open season for whoever wants to kill, plus rewards for big ones. Season is still open and It has not done much, obviously.

beam thoughts?

Nah. All they have to do is give you drugs and tell/show you what they want you to think.

51st state

forgot Puerto Rico, and most of the carribean while you're at it

Yeah...

Good thing Captain Obvious took command

How many?

How many of those things can they support simultaneously?

3 apparently

the real world

Since my in-laws' idea of quality time is simply staring at the holiday programs on cable, and not speaking, they were happy to let me play PS3 in the guest room the vast majority of the time my wife & I were there. (it was closer to the wireless router there too) It is difficult to spend quality time with parents who don't live in the real world.

Cloudly?

Do you look at the keyboard while you type?

@easyk

Forgot fluoroscopy...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoroscopy

...which still leaves your head full of radiation if you look directly at the source.

search "shoe store fluoroscopes"

horrible idea.

I still don't see how your eyes could focus on their own fluorescence.

EYE PHONE

Yes of course, but will it be ready in time for the iphone5? probably not. Then the next year they will make the internet connected model, and so on

GUI

I have not seen the need to upgrade from Fedora 14. In every new windows machine I turn off the aero style. Maybe i'm backwards, but I like a machine to work, and to do so quickly. I don't care what the edge of my window looks like. An OS is not suposed to make an application look good. Every application I use, I run on the fullest possible part of the screen anyway.

P.S. If I wanted an OS that looked & acted like a "light weight" tablet, I'D BUY AN iPAD!

But I don't, so I won't. Ever.

low resolution

because it is difficult to get high resolution at a distance with radio waves.

Anon

Anthrophobic, Toxic, etc.

If they use an alias, they are not Anons.

They are wannabes who ran L.O.I.C. from home like idiots, instead of using a botnet or public wifi hotspot. I'm shocked the feds weren't sent to round up more. Do you think it only took this many people to DDoS MC & Visa? It is obvious they (fbi) are just trying to make an example to discourage this kind of activity. Fools should be discouraged from doing things they have no skill in.

256 cores

It is a nice round number, isn't it? what will the next be? 512, 1024?

title

Good work Dickey! You've made it all wet and squishy, but will it mount?

Or...

could at least name a component:

Gyrocompassing

Autonomous

Guidence

Assembly

US

US freedom of speech or more importantly freedom of the press, seems limited to only those who actually own a press (or television network)

hmm, good point, except...

currently Nvidia is worth more than AMD, and the only reason AMD is still alive is because of Intel. of course, in my dream world AMD would have paired up with Nvidia instead of ATI (whose crap I could never get to work properly).

the questions should be...

How many users playing Crysis simultaneously?

Could it run every copy of Crysis at once?

Either way, its an amazing machine.

still...

if you were on the road alot, it would be nice to leave it up on the dash area while not in use. could get plenty of sun there. but why only russia? Why not Florida? Seems like a perfect market. also WHY BLACK on the rest of the case? won't it get too HOT staying in the sun for long periods of time?

Emu War

Didn't Australia learn their lesson from the Emu War? look it up. The humans lost.

Don't like MS? then don't use their products

I don't, and I don't. I still have the right to complain about them, just as I do to complain about crapple.

YES
