From TFA

3D Blu-ray movies will need screens with refresh rates of 120Hz, double the current standard of 60Hz, and 2x speed Blu-ray drives. As with all of Nvidia's 3D products, shutter glasses will be required to view films. The new specification raises concerns about the capability of current hardware to play forthcoming 3D releases, with Berraondo confirming that “future Blu-ray equipment will need more powerful chips” to play content smoothly, with “the majority” of major manufacturers set to release “brand new players” next year.

I'm sure the people who can afford a fullHD tv@120Hz and a new player to see shrek 3D will rush to buy it. All 20 of them.

Really? then wtf is that job offer on intel website for a CPU Architect in bangalore for?

In this position, you will be responsible for architecting advanced client platforms for 2015 and beyond. We are now in the early research and pathfinding for the 2015 generation of CPU products. Our team engages in early architecture analysis, microarchitecture research and/or development, performance and/or power modeling and analysis, including detailed architecture validation versus RTL

Here's what they do in Bangalore: http://www.intel.com/jobs/india/iidc/index.htm. Seems like some people in India have enough skills to design a CPU.

Just compressing air from solar, wind power, etc gives Zero emissions no matter if the efficiency is only 1% or 100%

Well it does matter if we need to cover 3 football field with solar panel for every person who wants to commute in an air car. We're going to run out of space. Anyway, 2010 is around the corner and my flying car running on recycled garbage should theoretically be available shortly.

You really think no-one in his empire is technically savvy enough to know that? He's just trolling. There is no way his websites would survive if he opted out of Google's index so robot.txt is out. Faking page specifically for google is against their terms of services and they might stop indexing him. So that's also out. The only thing he's after is a piece of the ads money.

The news is not that there's a rift of about 6000km long. Other people had noticed that. The news is that some very specific stuff that mere human don't give a frack about may happen there. Of course since I'm not a geologist I have no clue why it matters; if it's news or only news for that particular location or quack science.

For the first time they demonstrate that activity on one rift segment can trigger a major episode of magma injection and associated deformation on a neighbouring segment.

To me a the server is the machine running the application that provide me with a service. In this case the service is running twm and mosaic and I use my "XClient" to access it a bit like I use my Mosaic to access your personal homepage on the world wide web. Why my X display is called a server while my html display is called a client is not clear to me.

Whether the direction of who open a socket first matters to define which machine is the actual server is up for debate.
