Where are mod up points when you desperately need them?

Sounds like a job for memristors. Petabytes of instantly accessible memory would probably do the trick. Likely 10 years out.

I have a Galaxy S sitting in my closet that's perfectly functional save for a loose USB power connector. Without that connector the phone is crippled to the point of being useless. Repairing it would cost more than the phone is worth. Multiply that by 10's of millions of phones per year falling into the same in the same state across North America. That's just wrong.

I wrote mine today telling him that this would be a election great pony to ride.

What about 'The Machine'?

If you have good genes and have taken care of yourself 75 can be a no-brainer. Personally I'd prefer a wait and see approach and see how things pan out. My mother is a vibrant 80 yr old who's currently having a lot of fun trekking around the planet. Sometimes you get lucky.

I've always thought http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U... ( from Poison Ivy) might be useful somehow in warfare. I got a dose of it last month from a trek through the woods and was really impressed by it's effects. I got a really light brush from a plant and the effects took better than a month to heal. Do a Google Image search and you'll see the effects can be very impressive.

I'm thinking these guys don't care much for studying history either.

Or at least data demand would if it could. Seems to me the focus should be on improving bandwidth and speed throughout the system rather than focus on prioritizing today's relatively low resources. In 20 years data transmission will be 1000x where it is today.

Are you of russian heritage by any chance?

Invest in a very high speed Internet connection and you can just download anything you want relatively instantly via torrent. Makes local storage a practical waste of time. IME anyway.

There a couple of torrents of the video there. Mostly it's all rhetoric, some of it voiced by Foley himself. The actually beheading isn't shown, just the start and end of it. My reaction to watching was simply that these bastards needed to be put down ASAP. Presumably not the response they were hoping for.

U gotta love Linux's repository model for this. Less choice but a lot more stability/honesty.

You would prefer that the studio keep the money instead?
