Comment The RISC processor architecture? (Score 1) 119

"runs on the RISC processor architecture – which gives the solution the equivalent of 1.2GHz of x86 processing power."

"comes with either a 333MHz (800MHz x86 equivalent) or a 500MHz (1.2GHz x86 equivalent) RMI Au processor."

I always enjoy when people write articles without actually understanding what they're saying.

Comment I think he needs a new sales pitch (Score 2, Interesting) 324

His argument will be that they are sanctioned by corporate IT departments? You mean, these tablets that don't even exist yet? How does he know? Did he say the same thing about Windows Vista-based machines six months before they were released?

Several companies, mine included, already support the iPad, so this "sales pitch" is less than compelling to me.

How this Ballmer guy still has a job is beyond me.

The Courts

Groklaw Summarizes the Lori Drew Verdict 457

Bootsy Collins writes "Last Wednesday, the Lori Drew 'cyberbullying' case ended in three misdemeanor convictions under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, a 1986 US Federal law intended to address illegally accessing computer systems. The interpretation of the act by the Court to cover violations of website terms of service, a circumstance obviously not considered in the law's formulation and passage, may have profound effects on the intersection of the Internet and US law. Referring to an amicus curiae brief filed by online rights organizations and law professors, PJ at Groklaw breaks down the implications of the decision to support her assertion that 'unless this case is overturned, it is time to get off the Internet completely, because it will have become too risky to use a computer.'"

this has always puzzled me.
i can't see believing in god as something that can withstand simple questions.
i mean, if the life on earth is too complex to have originated on itself and somebody created it, then that how did that somebody come to be ? did somebody else create him (and why not her ;) ) ?
if somebody else, we get into a loop, where we still have to break out at some point.
if not, then there can be no scientific, critical thinking that could accept the "he just exists, you may not question that".
so how could a chain of logical arguments convince a person of gods existence ?


God's existence and God's beginning are two distinctly different topics to discuss. But isn't it pretty much the same with the Universe itself? I mean, even if you accept the big bang theory, the contents that exploded had to come from somewhere, right? Just because you can't explain it's beginning, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
