The op didnt have a problem believing they could compress that rapidly at their end. He had issues believing that people on rubbish computers with no gpu support could decompress fast enough on the recieving end.

There are techniques in use similar to this already. Show people pictures of the scene or of a murder victim and then use a device monitoring brain activity to see if it triggers recognition.

(southpark reference) We could just tell the Japanese that Jellyfish were responsible for hiroshima and let them sort it out.

If they didnt want to be eaten then why would they taste so good. Answer me that.

I don't care whether my browser is power efficient or not i'm still not using it online without virus protection on a windows machine.

I couldn't agree with you more. Ragnar Tornquist has been saying he will finish the dreamfall saga with Dreamfall Chronicles for the past 3 years. Considering Dreamfall had a huge number of plot holes and a massive cliffhanger ending i consider it a bit unfair how long we will have to wait to find out what happens. Especially if it ends up being another 3+ years.

If your flirting with cute women your obviously not the nerd you claim to be

But if there are so many examples of scientists providing fake data how do i know the results of the survey in the FA are correct?

Ill just wait and pirate the full copy when it comes out then. Thanks for the heads up EA i wouldnt wanna pirate a substandard version.

Wow a post that actually deserves the insightful tag

Although it would be an impressive demonstration of the power that google has. A threat of being removed from google is basically like removing someonne from the internet for the majority of people.

AS a long time eve online player i can say that yes lag can be pretty terrible sometimes. But after alot of time and effort things have improved massivly. recently ive been involved of battles of about 1200 people were there was some lag but the game was still playable (generally what happens is there is some lag on modules but you can see move around and warp in and out ok which is the important bit that keeps you alive) Now days pretty much any server on the cluster can handle a 600 man fleet fight and the reinforced servers which handle the major crunch points can handle 1000+. The future of eve though is making it so that the resources of the cluster can be dynamically allocated to systems (at the minute a system can only utilise one server). This is a long term project that they have been working on which will allow the eve cluster to utilise the huge amount of unutilised power it has atm.

Interestingly CCP the makers of eve online appear to have taken up that mantle and are working on a white wolf MMO

Check out eve online thats been doing the one universe thing for years. The universe isnt seamless since its split into a number of seperate systems but the entire population exists and plays within the same universe.

Im on virgin and yes they will throttle your download if you download more than a certain number of gigabytes between their busiest times which is fair enough. I prefer that to a download limit dont you. In my experience though it doesnt alter my ping so you have some other problem going on there. My tip with virgin is to do any of your large downloading in the evening or at night.
