Quantum computers use ultra cold, but normal ones too. I know because I saw it in TimeCop. It was on the internet so it must be true.

Clark Defense Systems has been listed as making a jet pack for 7 or 8 years now. Just have to hope it comes in game. That is the same provider for the UEE marines armor.

I wonder whether huge screen solutions aren’t doomed by VR headsets to always be second place. As soon as the VR can tell you where to put your fingers for a glass cockpit, display screens will just be wasted real estate.

PC cooling solutions assume the thermal conductivity of the processor’s plastic case is sufficient, but that may not be true with all possible overclocking. Because engineers assume this is true, we never see active refrigeration on home systems. In theory, a Freon or other gas expansion system...

I’m not an expert but IIRC, clock speed is mostly limited by temperature. If you cool the entire system component by component, odds seem fair you can run them faster. They must have hit the thermal limit with their last SSD and decided this is what they need to run faster. Since SC benefits...

That was fabulous. I have one of these current gen light sabres. Hollow poly tube and super bright led makes for very fast and resilient. Makes all the sounds. Press a button and select from 7 brilliant colors. Smack it and it flashes like blades clashing. Mine has a shorter blade but it was...

Fair enough. So to return to the more central issue, let me ask “what do we actually want from AI?” Certainly there are blessings but I think the cursings are far greater. There’s no way to stop this and as Elon Musk notes, it’s probably too late anyway. Google teaches their AI to lie...

With five thousand posts over seven years, you are eventually gonna meet bad eggs. Still, this forum is overwhelmingly good eggs. Most of us can have adult discussions, encounter opposing viewpoints, even be offended and yet act with restraint. OTOH, when members haunt each other forum to forum...

So I see Aram showed up. No surprises there. BTW folks, I blocked him because he invaded a thread on home defense and tried to get me to remove my pro 2A posts from my own thread, which apparently offended him. He wanted me to remove the entire thread because though guns are cool in games, he is...

Yes you do. Someone taught you that because our system is not perfect, that it is not good when all the evidence you have is that it’s the best in history. Please read the last sentence in the second paragraph at the link you sent. Half of a thousand is 500 and none of the democracies in...

I’m a huge fan of the Alien franchise and like most of the movies. While I’ll agree James Cameron’s Aliens is the best of them, I have lots of guilty pleasure in the first AvP movie. I think it includes one of the best fight scenes in movie history, holding first place until Peter Jackson gave...

Not seeing anything new. You’d think whoever made the trailer would want to showcase that this is a new story. View: https://youtu.be/WzWi3Mhv9Jg?si=HAq1cAUSN3muVXCu

Look, Montoya moderates this forum. If he needed help, I think he would choose someone other than me or you. So far as I am aware, I have only ever had a serious issue here with one person other than you. I blocked that person and the problem is gone. Was years ago. I happen to enjoy most of...

No. I have no issues with Mudhawk. Stop making problems for others. There’s nothing wrong with the post. If you need to whimper, let Montoya know your knickers are all atwist.

If you’re asking me to remain civil you must think the above, civil. So where’s your complaint? Nowhere did I accuse anyone of anything but ignorance. I didn’t assign moral culpability. I suggested he read some. I think you’re being a little over sensitive. Absolutely, it is no crime to note...

To be honest, I hadn’t thought to turn this into a debate so I’ll be as brief as possible to address your points. There were over 64,000 separate democracies in Greece over the 600 or so years before Christ. Whomever told you it was a couple white guys lied to you. Also, anyone who led you to...

I agree with you, that examples of capitalism often fail to present a proper representation of human sanctity. I would just note though, that as a theory, Capitalism relies upon Individualism, which relies upon things like freedom of choice and private property rights. We’ve become so accustomed...

I think it would need to be the largest crowd funding in history. Lucas got $4B when he sold. To buy it before this next film you might have to pay near that much.
