This is golden stuff right here.

Perhaps they need to do this more?

Yeah I think they could take a good hard look at SS2 and try harder with the sequel. Co-op would be something pretty fun too I think, but a lot of games lack co-op these days that's hard enough to make it fun.

Could be handy if you were already dead on scene and they got there fast enough as well. Roll up a bus full of freezers to toss corpses in, then unload them at the hospital where they can be properly tended to without having to rush or worry about 4-5 patients crashing all at once in critical care.

Getting registered as a Sex Offender isn't so much of a reputation ruiner as it is an entire life ruiner. Good luck getting hired anywhere above minimum wage or keeping your current job, good luck talking to anyone in your neighborhood again, good luck explaining things to people for ever. As parent said, even if you get a court pardon, the public doesn't see it as cut and dry as the legal system might.

Very good example haha

I want to know who in their right mind would pay someone to write this? I could make a small shell script to write an article exactly like that. Type in your two topics, multiplied by however many 'battles' you want, and voila, pick the second topic every time as the winner and rejoice.

I can confirm a similar occurrence in my 2008 Ford Escape. If I tap the accelerate button once or twice, it will only go up a small bit, hitting it again will suddenly increase the speed a lot (I don't know how far it would go, I've let it go from 120km/h to 140km/h before I tapped the brakes to turn it off).

It may be smooth enough going 2-3km/h, but will it be smooth/stable enough to hit 50-60km/h* down some steep slopes? I highly doubt it, most humans aren't stable enough when moving that fast because of reaction delay's and such - unless robotics and gyroscopes make huge leaps forward very quickly I can't see this happening.

*Downhill Speeds

You seriously just provided a google search of people who posted google searches and gave that as proof? /Facepalm

Maybe we could use this to absorb any Gamma Ray Bursts that happen to come our way.

You know who 'Facebook' is as much as kids in Africa know who Steve Jobs is. Not only is Facebook insecure, but they're reaping the benefits of tards everywhere putting their entire lives up for grabs. The amount of information and pictures of people they sell (and are entitled to sell because you agreed by signing up!) behind the scenes supports the massive server base needed to run the entire clusterfuck that is Facebook, it's not just ad revenue. No one ever questions why Facebook happens to be absolutely free of charge, same with Blogspot. (Tinfoil Hat Time)Google bought blogspot to move the information on the blogs hosted there to it's own servers to make it easier/faster to datamine and sell the information in them.

In a response to your post, I think you're right in saying 72 MHz processors fed to each other by serial connections is a bit preposterous versus the 3GHz chips we have powering nearly every computer these days. However, what if we start amping those chips up to 500-1000MHz per chip, and throw a better connection between them (I'm assuming something must be faster and easier than serial, I don't know speeds or electronics well enough to guess), more RAM/EPROM and voila!

This would have a much higher chance of competing with the chips we currently have and still have a pretty low production value methinks.

Anyone else with more knowledge care to comment?

Thanks for that link, was a good read.

Only problem is getting enough bandwidth to/from New Zealand to make the data center worth it. It's one thing to build one there and have it be super efficient and climate effective, but it's another to have all that greatness and not be able to get enough information to/from it.

This picture only shows 1 cable from NZ to NA, and none to Europe, so I'd say it's out of the picture.
