Genetic engineering will be the most powerful and controversial form of modern day science this century for sure.
I think about Jurassic Park and despite being fiction it is a tale of caution. I'll paraphrase a quote 'so preoccupied whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.'
It is important science does stop sometimes and think about whether they should. It can improve lives but caution should be mandatory.
Turned up as an alien, given loads of free stuff for doing nothing other than arriving? You are talking about the U.K right not planet X?
Probably should have bought a GTR instead anyway
I believe that religion is not required for a person to have morality.
I also do not believe religion overall is a positive force for good on this planet.
Societal 'decline' is a broad and highly contentious subject, however there is possibly some evidence to support the idea more secular states may be beneficial to society and general happiness (Scandinavia is an interesting area of study). Although it is weak, it is worth noting.
So...
I love this sort of claim, they always pursue some wildly unrealistic sum and then settle for about $10k.
I think it must be the lawyers who sit behind their desks and do their best Dr Evil impression. One million dollars? No!
One hundred billion dollars!
For 1964, it's a heavy carrier.
For 2014, it's a medium carrier.
Nimitz and the new Gerald R Ford class are heaviest but a large part of that is being nuclear powered. Then the Queen Elizabeth class being built, then Liaoning which is a Soviet era carrier sold to the Chinese and in service as a practice ship for China's future carrier fleet.
The Chinese were supposed to be building 'super' carriers on the same scale as th...
Thank god for all that...porn?
Huge win for the ESA if it manages to just make the rendezevous let alone the landing. That would be quite incredible to pull off.
Lol @ the range of these things. It seems like a good idea to help develop the electric vehicle but it'll also show off to the world their painful limitations such as their range and cost.
They aren't even that fast right now either, 0-60 in 3s is really slow for a supposedly top tier single seat purpose built racing car IMO- a mere Formula Renault 2 litre is easily faster and that's the bottom rung of single seat Formula racers
Oh don't you just love when the government do whatever they please and get away with it but if Joe average makes the tiniest accidental infraction they come down on you like a hammer
I don't know. I'm unsure why you thought my post linked the two events directly when I didn't suggest it.
All my post pointed out was that MEH. This happens a lot and you shouldn't worry.
What you might worry about is if it happens to Earth. Mainly because that could cause problems. Geomagnetic reversal is a subject under study, and there is much debate over how, when, how fast and how long it can occur and how it might affect the biosphere.
Meh. It's potential (and probably inevitable) geomagnetic reversal on earth that might pose problems.
8 core consumer intel CPU at last. WINNING!
This post probably does not exist and is not reality as you perceive it
Actually it was probably the guided missile destroyer I have patrolling my garden pond for exactly this sort of unmanned drone illegally entering my airspace.
I claim the salvage too, have on display in my personal 'war musuem'
Ahhhh...the spoils
I don't think it helps that Microsoft seem to be behind in manufacturing, There does seem to be truth in the idea they weren't quite ready to launch this year but moved it up because Sony were ready this month to launch with 2m+ units available.
Microsoft are probably selling as many as they can make, but just haven't been able to make nearly as many either
'Biggest launch in Xbox history' worldwide in 13 countries, including North America.
Whereas the PS4 was at least as big in just those 2 countries, USA and Canada.
European launch happens on Friday, and you have to fully expect PS4 to sell another 1m+ units, without also even launching in Japan until February which should be another significant market for the machine.
There could easily be twice the PS4 install base versus Xbox One in...
PS4's TDP is surely less than 150 watts, in fact the whole system power consumption is likely not much more than this (launch PS3s were about 210 watts). I am confident this is the case and we'll see it when they get these machines hooked up to meters.
The unit is small but the cooling solution seen on the teardown looks impressive and up to the job. Its akin to a large air PC cooler laid on its side with a nice looking copper heatpipe.
Having an APU ...
Probably not. At least not at first.
The problem is obviously that although maximum throughput in terms of raw bandwidth increases, the latency increases just as much.
CPU designs are constantly compensating for this, as they always have been every time a new technology introduces more latency e.g multi core.
Once we have processors with more advanced memory controllers designed for this memory, we'll see more useful gains.

Always makes me think of this and the classic song playing in the background
