Assuming that the terrorist group is bulilding the thing yes. What about a simple purchase / theft from a nuclear state?

If I've RTFA correctly, this is one layer. they are circumventing Abbe's law by superimposing 2 beams where an effective write only occurs at the overlap, allowing a writing beam of 9nm.

And to hell with convergence? How much extra would it cost to put in an sd slot? The alternative is to carry around 2 devices in that world. With just a little extra we can have all the local storage we want. I love my nexus 4, but I really wish it had an sd slot. Poor network in areas, download limits and the like means I can only carry about a 10th of my music collection with me reliably - about 4gig ish. I'd like to carry it all, or at least a more significant proportion. A 64gb card would allow that.

It's not about cost, it's about philosophy. Cloud storage means beign tied to one service. I want my files local, audio and video. I don't want to stream what I already downloaded. That's repeat downloading - what about efficiency?

And the physical dimensions of your second hand Core Duo machine is............?

Apples and oranges.

Wasn't there all this with the iphone though? Ooooh look, it's MASSIVE! You'll look like a dork holding that big thing next to your ear.

Personally, I like the idea of a smart watch, phone and glasses. Battery life should be a priority I imagine, and any improvements in that tech will flow out to phones pretty much immediately I'd say. I think of it as a smartphone wrapped around your wrist that will be monitoring your pulse. Anything else it can access by skin contact to determine health?

I don't know, but a monitoring system that can auto alert the paramedics upon a clear heart attack, even if you're alone - will call and give gps, and there's a prior, crude datalog of heart activity beforehand? Count me in. It might even be able to say - hey dude, I've been monitoring your heart activity over the past year, and you should go see a doctor to look at X Y Z more carefully! That's a watch that I want.

Did they have the machine that goes ping! in the OR?

Do you think we will ever create another probe that would overtake Voyager 1 for distance from the sun?

And again. That video is amazing.

I don't like paying for the thing and then it serving me ads over the internet. Can anyone detail an easy way to find where my TV is getting these ads from and block / replace them?

I've thought about a linux transparent proxy between the TV and my router, analysing the logs, then writing a script to replace the offending ad, but that just seems like too much bother, although replacing the ad with my own image has a definite appeal. Is there a decent router than can block a specific address or two to stop these ads?

Come on. What about a restriction to not allow demonstrations at funerals? Is that not reasonable? Is that really so 'fascist'?

These poor sods are burying their 6 and 7 years olds, and you think it's ok for WBC to do this?

You have mental people, we have mental people. But YOUR mental people use guns, and you say that taking the guns away isn't a solution? Strike up another mental one. That's you, by the way.

Are you mental? Saving a dying man didn't change anything? It saved him, and his family from their grief. Who will care if you torture me? I will, and my family will. That's called being human. Life is a fleeting wonder, and something to be saved and cherished and extended for as long as possible, not dismissed away. You are seriously sick.

That's perhaps ultimately worse. Giving someone false hope.

It would not be moral. If there's one thing I would not do it's lie to someone on their deathbed. You don't comfort them by telling them they will continue, you comfort them by reminding them about the lives they have touched. It's the human thing to do.
