Well it's like buying a 0km car VS buying generic parts and building it yourself. It's not that easy.

I believe 2560 is the post-coding bandwidth. Links are usually 3.125 Gbps before coding.

Of course it will not stop all wars, but it will stop most oil-related wars. You still will have resource-related wars like cultivable land, and fresh water but with the space-revolution soon humanity will have plenty of land and water too.

>How much dangerous are the neutrons from such device? Similar to radiation, worst? Neutrons are radiation. Also It's the worst kind of radiation because unlike X-rays or Gamma, neutrons make other things radioactive.

The idea with Linux is that you contribute your time to the project or helping others. That's how you pay. If you don't do anything of that, you are freeloading.

IMHO the best thing is how they pitch this as a power source for carriers and military ships, that are mostly used to fight wars for oil. Well played, Lockheed.

If you really are Dr. Kirtley let me say you have one of the most, if not the most important job in earth right now. Fusion energy has the potential to stop wars and re-start the space revolution. I wish you the best.

I can believe people is still so naif to believe that google and third parties will give you apps "for free". You pay in some way or another, always.

Marketing fail. They should announce it as a 700 HP car with better acceleration than the fastest Audi R8, while being big enough to take the kids to the soccer club and go shopping.

To exactly match daylight you would need all the visible light, plus infrared and UV, and a total power of 1 KW/square meter. The good thing is that the lamp would also work as a space heater.

It is more easy than you think. If the lamp only last 15000 hours instead of the advertised 25000, you never buy from the same brand again.

No, I think it's a more interesting history. Nakamura basically lived in the lab for months, cooking different materias in a special oven until he came up with the blue led. Then did the same for the green led.

If you think about it, many modern CPUs have as much cache as XTs had RAM. It's no surprise that a I7 can work perfectly with no DIMMs attached to it and actually for a brief period of time, the BIOS does exactly that until it starts

I disagree. I believe 6 years in the industry also focus you in a very narrow topic, like SAP, web or Iphone apps. You think you are generalist because you don't even know anything else exist.

Anecdotal evidence is useless. The truth is, to learn any information about the usefullness of a PhD you need a proper study following the life of a group of people with CS PhDs, and a control group without CS PhDs. And then, what is "
