Skynet! Duck and cover!

I agree. Teaching children to subvert the dominant paradigm! \m/

Ok this is retarded. Majority of posts are confused about basic energy nomenclature: Amperage, Watts, and Joules? The achievement of building a cluster and having to know the inner workings of an OS etc is a remarkable feat to occur in a short timeperiod. Kudos. And yes I did say retarded. Retarded people don't care, why should we.

If you are that paranoid about keeping your job, find another job. Life is too short.

It's a pity bacteria can survive in space. I was hoping when we colonized Mars beer would never spoil.

Hi. We are Iran. We are friendly and wish only peace. Here is our new drone bomber! All we have to do is point and click and * boom *. Nice meeting you friend, we want to be pals!

Why should a phone call be treated any differently than a letter or email? Arizona places no restriction on recording phone calls. One may do it with or without consent of the recorded parties. In my opinion, this makes perfect sense. Assuming positive intent, it helps a person remember details of a conversation they may not recall. I for one cannot recall precisely all details. Perhaps it is a "handicap" of mine. I challenge anyone to recall with perfection a recorded call, including tone of voice, pace, accent, and finally verbiage. If you have something to hide that would make you embarrassed if it appeared in the newspaper, maybe it shouldn't be said at all.

Dammit. I was going to post that.

While it is true that parallelization does not necessarily assist a single program to operate more efficiently or faster, it is true that multi-cpu systems allow more concurrent programs to operate. In a major corporate context, there are 1000's of jobs running at any given time. The more effective number of CPU's (and memory) the better to keep costs down.

SETI has been interesting only in that it has demonstrated, at least at our technology level, nobody is home and using electromagnetism to communicate. The next level of communication is utilizing "ansible" technology which leverages quantum entanglement, aka Einstein-Rosen Bridge. Quantum entanglement has been demonstrated recently at a distance of 10 miles, and there is no reason to believe any amount of "physical" distance is relevant for the "effect". Lots of luck detecting communication using this technique.

A 10 to 1 ratio of women to men vill do nicely. Prepare ze bunkerz! (based on Dr. Strangelove...)

I was under the impression we were talking about Google Chrome and how an add-on has the capability of capturing user data / ids and passwords!
