I think this is a step both in the right direction, and the wrong direction. This attempts to mitigate issues with cloud storage by giving you hardware to keep (actually a really good idea! It reduces latency and allows for file recovery) b

This is something I have mulling for a long time, and a fight I think is worth starting. Lets go open access! I am currently researching fully distributed file stores via Distributed Hash Tables. I have been looking for viable services to c

This is not really a new idea, based on the info from the article we can inference what they are doing. here is a paper on the principle at work: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0165168405... Strictly speaking you cannot

Be careful, messing up with one of those can result in chronic migraines which can be much worse then fibromyalgia. (your "ultimate pain point" idea is a bit iffy, there is a lot worse out there then fibromyalgia) I have been looking at des

Still waiting for the very excited paper on zero point energy that explains it in non-leagalise. If she figured this out, why not use it to run a generator? They again, who wants to get power off the heat death of the universe -tanstaafl -3

Yay! Now I can mash the keys as fast as possible and look like a bit of an idiot, yet still somehow magically be typing the code to a program I have yet to discern the purpose of! Where does this get it's source? can we set it? --EDIT-- see

Exactly. "You no more "die" when the cells or atoms in your brain are replaced than a river dries up when all the water molecules you could see at one point in time flow away." when we find a way to measure this little death relative to the

We all really want to accept this idea. It is inviting. Not accepting it has a lot of scary implications. If small changes in the matter that makes up my mind "kills" me, then what happens when my body naturally replaces parts. In neurons,

this goes back to the ages old problem of, "In Star Trek, the transporter killed you every time" We have this almost social idea of Body Continuity. As long as there is the same body the entire time you are still you and still "alive". A sc

It does not help that a lot of American companies do not use any of these methods, they use front to back in sections.

I am a little annoyed, Esperanto is supported by the google translate API they cite (and say they support all languages on) yet it is not an option. I would love an immersion tool to help lean Esperanto (immersion is especially hard for Esp

"More than $2.5 billion." and "need to be capitalised to the tune of $100 billion." This is about how much the Apollo program cost[1]. If they get some smart engineers and listen to them, I expect they will find ways we never conceived of

I've had some real issues with the Java garbage collector where it seems most of my peers have not, so perhaps it is a symptom of my programming style or the projects I am doing (some big numerical and physical simulations). The ultimate so

<rant type="likely-naive"/> We can never "cure" cancer. We might be able to save most individuals from dying from it some day but cancer is just a mutation that makes a cell's behavior damaging/lethal to the host body. The only way

"respected news network" at least from my point of view, this is a bit of an oxymoron, call me paranoid, but I'll take a good peer reviewed academic paper for my facts any day.

I think you need to look up the regulatory bodies for lotteries. They care a lot about this type of stuff, and making sure there is not statistically predictable pattern (essentially the sample size required to find the pattern would be lar

"unless Google happens to be working at the height of early 90's tech" We are working at the height of 90s tech. For a consumer product, cheap enough to mass produce at a price people are willing to pay ($200-$600) you have to step backward

I suppose if the order is as such, "we already have this stance, and if we market it now it will benefit us" it would not bug me as much. However if it had this order "If we take this stance and market it, it will benefit us" it implies the

maybe I have this wrong, but it sounds like they heard the rabble rousing and made a well timed good marketing move. No surprise. But it does make me sad when a political stance is a marketing move.
