I thought the same thing at first. However, assuming that the simulation implements only the very fundamental building blocks of physics at it's core, it is interesting to see that they translate to match our observations on a macro scale. Given that, it's just a matter of what else we can glean from the simulation runs that we have yet to observe IRL. These new insights don't have to be taken as truth, but rather lead us to new observations.

from "may" and "could" to "can."

Actually, the article states that Cyanogenmod uses the same blob as well.

I've kept my passwords in an AxCrypt encrypted spreadsheet forever - think I'll migrate to KeepAss now. Linux, Windows and Android clients? Perfect.

Bummer, Winamp + Shoutcast DSP is perfect (and free) for broadcasting to Live365 and such (aside from stability issues - which now will never get fixed). MediaMonkey is close except for metadata updates.

I *WILL* notice, especially when the person in front of me reclines back at full speed.

Wasted space, useless pictures, makes digesting the news more difficult.

They've been doing this for years with old F-4s for target practice over the Gulf. Must be running out of lead sleds. QF-4

Say it ain't so!!

I'd argue that the spirit of 35 USC 101 refers to physical processes, not abstract ones; at most a practical implementation of an abstract algorithm is what is patentable, not the algorithm itself. The Juducial Exceptions explain this further. This was decided by Gottschalk_v._Benson, and seems to have been confirmed by the current case.

I hope SOF2 is next ...
