Lightning is static discharge. Doesn't qualify for either.

Exactly. The entire article is sensationalism spouted by people who don't know jack about electricity. Its worthless like the rest of slashdot now. Bye.

It was Apple.

Especially when they'll shortly be better and faster at provisioning said robots.

Maybe one that doesn't automatically steal all of your AES128 keys?

Your unfounded opinions built upon a foundation of conjecture and alarmist kiltflipping has been rejected, and placed upon the waste pile where all other internet puffery goes.

• Who the fuck wrote that shit anyway?
• who the fuck thinks it should be news?
• who the fuck posted this shit on slashdot?
• why haven't we cut off all 20 of their fingers yet?

Let the war begin!

Getting enough GPU power to drive all those pixels might be expensive, difficult (SLI/crossfire) and problematic with drivers not playing nice, but its at least possible. Ramming all the data for those pixels down a wire that hooks up to the display is the trick we all want to see.

This would have been great back when google was inventing the relational search engine. But now that the corporation has thrown in its hat with the regulating bodies of the real world, I can only predict that google will become the ultimate censor, finally cementing Orwell's Minsitry of Truth in the virtual world.

Something has actually gotten the sheeple interested in science!

In addition to evidence of more tactical nukes being used in combat elsewhere and much later in history than WW2, there were also more than a thousand tests of nuclear bombs, some done underwater and leaving their highly radioactive byproducts in the sea. If we only take our information from video games, we can see that nuclear detonations cause global warming. (Sid Meyer's Civilization 2). If we examine it with careful thought and actual science, we can see that the nuclear bomb releases heat and greenhouse gases orders of magnitude higher than most anything else on the planet, excepting perhaps volcanoes, the other elephant in the room with regards to global warming. So. Before we start talking about goals and fantasies where we reverse global warming and recycle every plastic bag that comes with our shiny new computer components, let's think about whether those two degrees are because of nuclear testing and detonations.

It's just more evidence that they're using slashdot to try and change the truth. 1984 is happening. The ministry of truth is real, and we call it the internet.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.

We would all have to buy our energy from Mako power plants that would suck dry the life force of the planet and illicit Cloud and his giant sword to come kick some ass and save us all.

About whether something is an authentic copy. If I can print my own what do I need you, your authentic copies, watermarks, or your prices for?
