Useless hack? I'd love to have running lights....

remember, 8 cores, 8 threads per core, multiple chips per system. I'm sure it's able to be LDOM'ed out as well, so you could in theory have up to 256 single-threaded seperate servers running in this one box. Not in the same league as a little dell/HP box. Like someone else said, This is going after IBM P7. Or people who really want to consolidate.

Do you really think Oracle could turn the ENTIRE chip engineering boat around in a year and a half? This best-of-both-worlds fast single threaded and massively multithreaded design was probably in the works for YEARS before Sun was bought.

Or when he asked 'what color Alex?'. He knew many colors, but no one taught him the color grey. That showed comprehension as well as self awareness.

I know a parrot that has put together new phrases to describe objects that he is unfamiliar with. He enjoys having water misted or sprayed lightly on him, and will ask for a 'shower'. However, he dislikes being outside in the rain. whenever he hears or sees rain outside, he proclaims 'bad shower' but was never taught that. he uses the same tonal inflection that he uses when he calls the dog over then says 'bad dog. go lay down'. He can be a jerk sometimes.

Now to get around data caps we need to have someone hack up a system that will use IP over voice so you can surf unlimited for free on nights & weekends. Now if we only had a way to carry electronic communication over phone lines.....

Although I'm sure someone has already patented using a modem over cellphones by putting 'on the internet' in it, so this won't work.

I don't think it's the sweat that doing it. You (like most people) tie their shoes using a granny knot instead of a reef (or square) knot, resulting in your shoes coming untied easier. Check this for a refresher. Stuff you should know, news for runners (and other people who tie their shoes).

It already reached Europa, thrived, and is attempting to stop anything else from landing. Why else do you think it spoke english?

In the grand scheme of things, you are correct that the those who espouse the scientific method should be happy that their theories are proven wrong and human knowledge increased. However, we are still fickle humans and hate to see our work that we poured our heart and soul into get trashed in the name of progress. Many people cannot disassociate their ego from their work. I've known many programmers who do not like code reviews for that reason. No matter how much they want to acknowledge that it makes better code, they still FEEL that it's an attack on them and their skill.

The thing that impressed me the most, as well as dissapointed me the most, was that the CGI Caeser's acting was better than all the human actors. Part of it was bad writing keeping the actors from being anything more cardboard cutouts, but the Caeser's facial expressions really conveyed what he was going through. I was impressed by that. The rest of the movie, though, felt a little flat in comparison.

This is probably the most wise statement that will be spoken in this thread. Learn this lesson above all else.

That Star Wars Kid from a fews years back is finally gonna get his revenge once Star Wars comes out and he can use the Kinect controller.

There doesn't have to be an inconsistency with Cerebro. The Cerebro in First Class looks more like a first gen beta version. Magneto could have helped build the other one.

I had a (well known and respected) professor in college who used to use spreadsheets to build neural networks. After seeing that, I gained a lot of respect for both the man and the tool.

Amen to that! I have found the major applications that I need, However, the many annoying interface 'features' are really irritating me. I can only sort contacts by first name, I can't type in initials to get a contact, calDAV not supported natively, quick contacts cannot be renamed, I could go on and on....
