Can't the "waste" from conventional nuclear reactors be, uh, "recycled", for lack of a better word? I thought I read about pilot projects here, where the spent nuclear fuel would be put into a different kind of reactor and continued to emit heat until they finally decayed to something stable (or something with such a small amount of damage that it wouldn't matter).

Yeah, wait for 2013.

That's TWO years from now. It's been well over a year since Elop killed MeeGo, S60, and Symbian^3 in one shot, and we're barely starting to see nokia ship windows handsets. Really guys? Is this what we've become? Does nobody remember this is exactly how NT got its foot into the door?

And we all know how well that went. Arguably things didn't even start to work out until 2003 and 2008. Ten years. They didn't even deliver on half the promises. Where is Cairo?

Empty promises. Son, I am disappoint.

Gizmodo isn't exactly an unbiased source...

The Sims is the best selling PC video game franchise in history. I'm pretty sure each individual generation has outsold plenty of other household names.

Comparing anything not Nintendo to The Sims?

Good. Fucking. Luck.

Whatever happened to that image from ArsTechnica, they had two screenshots, one of Mac OSX, and another of Windows Vista, with typical apps loaded up...

Most of them were by microsoft/apple.

Not a single one looked the same.

"Consistent" my ass. Compare that to GTK2 and Qt.

I guess you've never heard of this:

Today, I had drunk sex with a girl that I barely know. I didn't have a condom and was nervous about getting her pregnant, but she assured me that I could pull out. Right when I was about to pull out, she wrapped her legs around me and yelled : "BE MY BABY'S DADDY!" I couldn't get out in time. FML

what happens then? is it impossible that a girl goes on a guy? yeah, he's the one with the penis, but she's the one who initiated the action.

A lot of Davinci and OMAP chips from TI now feature ISPs. Assuming it's easy to rig this to normal linux software, you could have it react differently based on what it recognises from the video feed (or from still frames).

It would be interesting to have something that could place various "targets" at various "levels". For example, for a stranger, the locks remain shut, and if the user is out, the sensors in the house turn up to 11, and the user gets a phone call letting them know someone's at the house (or a MMS/e-mail might be better, with a photo of who's at the door). Or you could configure it to fire tasers out if you feel like goin' back to jail.

Ideally you'd just have it to recognize when a friendly shows up, so you'd get an alert telling you $friend was at the house.

But the asker has an apartment, so I guess an ISP is a little harder to use, unless he can set up a camera to check outside his door without having it break easily. These sort of things can be networked to a DVR, be it a hardware solution or a mythbox or something.

(I guess all that to show that video cameras are not useless, just not thought out enough)

Could they be looking at an equivalent of Jazelle but for C#?

I don't see microsoft having enough engineers willing to work on an ARM core unless MS has something they want to try and pull the industry with. The idea of an optimized core might make sense, but i'm not sure how much they could change it without running into problems.

can you put it on pastebin maybe?

Apparently, licensing terms for access to the x86 designs forbid it passing to non-US hands. I think VIA is working a loophole here, because Centaur is doing the CPU designs, VIA does the branding, chipsets, and sometimes the motherboards.

However, it might work if nVidia aquired VIA and Centaur, and merged VIA's chipset departments into nvidia's (and segmented them or something) because otherwise they're only looking for Centaur and it ain't going to be pretty. I'm just disappointed in nVidia myself for letting Nano go the way it did, and not partnering GeForce+Nano properly.
