What's NFL?

Does anyone remember NVIDIA's own console announced a couple months ago? There may be reasons NVIDIA didn't want to spend resources on PS4...

Synced to the cloud doesn't mean there's no local copy of the save...

So true and well-said. Grad students' first papers should be reproducing results from other published papers and they should be accepted for publication if well-conducted and well-written. Wish I had mod points.

That's also what amazed me and gave me the doubt of credibility at first. However, Xinhua Net is one of China's official news agency...

Your "eventually" will be very very long away in the future. Even Lieutenant Commander Data in the 24th century has trouble replacing human. The pool boy example somewhere above is a great example. No robot in the foreseeable will replace the pool boy, even if the robot does pool better than the pool boy. The are many jobs that robots cannot replace, such as pool boy, waitress, sommelier, chef, and many other service jobs. What human needs to do is to adjust how we value stuff in our life.

Believe is not for facts.

BTW, I don't believe in global warming. Facts just show that it is happening.

How the US has become one of the most scientifically/technologically advanced country on Earth in the past hundred years is beyond me...

Eh.. if you work at Apple, you get to develop the next generation of marketing technology...

While they have great fuel efficiency, their power is not acceptable in the US market. People often whine about things like "merge-into-traffic", with good reasons...

IH-10 in parts of west Texas has a speed limit of 80 mph, and it may become 85 mph soon. I have driven that route several times. The fuel consumption of my 2.4L sedan decreases from about 34 mpg to about 29 mpg when the speed increases from about 65 mph to 85 mph.

Well, they actually plan to do it starting 2018, and we may have a sample around 2022: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_sample_return_mission

The very well written story How Digital Detectives Deciphered Stuxnet, the Most Menacing Malware in History on Wired.com describes an attack on an Iranian nuclear plant through inserting frequency changing commands sent to the PLC to damage centrifuges. The papers the OP mentioned are probably something very important if encrypted FPGA bit streams can indeed be meaningfully tampered with easily.

The medium height of 90 cm for human is at about 25-30 months old. I don't think it's a good idea for human children of that age to pilot any real test plane...
