"falling back to earth and breaking the sound barrier in the process."
So it wasn't powered by a jet engine, meaning less noise to begin with.
the point is to reduce the sound from a sonic boom, not the engine, genius.
Ya know, I'll bet that if we didn't have so many science haters and pork barrelers in Congress playing games with the budget, that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration could do similar research.
do you really think NASA should be wasting any brainpower on this corporate horseshit? if companies want to make supersonic jets quiet, let them do/pay for the research. frankly, i would prefer NASA stay on the task of helping humanity, not corporations.
if your enemy doesn't like you on their networks, they can always disconnect or turn off their machines.
the only way to win is not to play.
look, none of this is a problem as long as nobody asks about the worst case scenarios.
Umm... you mean what's the worst that can happen?
dammit man, haven't you ever seen a disaster movie?!

the real question is when will we advance this technology far enough to not just be an assistive device for surgeons to actually being the surgeons?
But can it play Crysis?
ftfy.
technical issues with 3d aside, to get any meaningful information about it fitting, you first have to have actually have meaningful information about the product! this means that you would need a full 3d model of each article of clothing for each size from every seller. furthermore, you need information about the material it's made of and most importantly, how it reacts to being washed which means information about how the clothing was constructed. with all that information, you might as well be the one making the clothing.
stores aren't going by the wayside just yet.
this is only an issue for spectators because all the competitors bring their own food for good reason.
competitors don't want...
* to become ill from food you aren't used to eating.
* to get disqualified because a jingoistic jerk spiked their food.
AMD engineers have contributed OpenCL code which is an open standard that can run on many different accelerators (some not even GPUs). this is distinctly different from CUDA which only works with Nvidia stuff.
TrueCrypt (now VeraCrypt) is still alive and kicking. better than that, it's been security audited. so why go from a multiplatform system known to be secure to a bunch of scripts that only work on linux?
stop trying to fix what isn't broken.
if it moved, just ask for it's forwarding address.
it has the net effect of making every printed document uniquely identifiable.
wrong. it only applies to color printouts. the jillions of black and white text pages printed out are unaltered.
Is this any different that our government forcing printer manufacturers to put secret watermarks on pages printed?
actually, yes it is! the point of the watermarks made on color printers is to make it easy to track down counterfeiters, specifically those printing USD. fun fact, North Korea loves to counterfeit $100 USD notes.
