What’s next? Rename New Mexico? Oh how about the Capital District of CoLuMbiA!?!? Wait the United States is just one country among many in just one of the American continents. Why not call it the Gulf of the Americas?

Almost easier to set up a share or ssh on the pc and use an easily installed app like Ghost Commander to connect and transfer.

I’ll imagine that there is a rising tide of Amiga desktops then.

Sensational claims require sensational evidence.

Carl Sagan, probably

Known unknown(s) at 7.14% and rising over the Linux stat. Could these also be Linux and perhaps BSD desktops?

Fossil fuels are absolutely the cause for extreme heat, who could have any doubt? Electricity is also capable of extreme heat so why don’t we use this more instead?

Oily rectal discharge anyone?

Ni-MH production for EVs was effectively shutdown by Texaco and later Chevron through patent acquisitions.

The modding is the true game

Not unlike the species of it’s creators, go figure.

I guess this means that not having to rely on dkms for hardware means being able to run the latest kernels without the hardware being disabled.

I found PROTON_LOG %command% insightful.

I hope having a transporter device is more like folding space than particle-scanning and reconstruction. The scanning and reconstruction would still be great for replacing or repairing lost or deteriorating structures. Regardless, I have a number of questions that come up as we learn more about how our brain might work.

If our brain is changed in (near) death how would we determine what was lost?

Could we even reconstruct consciousness (this could be also gradual, but what is the speed of consciousness)?

It seems more like we would have to gradually move our conscious processing from per-existing wetware to whatever replaces it (even more wetware). It should behave like our brain as much as possible, but I don’t think we could avoid being different from what we were.

Our own brain changes over time, do we think the way we did when we were 5? How different will we think far later in life (assuming our brain is at least healthy)? I think we would have to accept changes in our fundamental being (which is already very challenging). The difference is that not only could we live for longer physically, but within the pure consciousness an entire lifetime could be lived in less than a second. We experience this temporarily in dreams, or while experiencing a life threatening event such as an automobile accident or the final moments of death itself. What if that was extended over physical months, years, decades? How would we deal with such a inheritance, who would teach us how to cope and find meaning?

Would we want to live life at the speed of the physical world after such an experience?

In other news, social interaction is linked to higher risk of everything else that can happen to a person.

We have a fusion reactor in the middle of our solar system solving the spicy half of the problem already. If we are having a solar heat capture problem, how is a new source of virtually unlimited power (and heat) here going to work? How is superconductivity coming along to help mitigate this?

There was mention in December that Collabora are working on supporting Maxwell (Geforce 700 series) based cards.

Awesome! This is next on my skills to learn list. Can you suggest some resources for starting out?

yup plain whole yogurt is so versatile! You can always add jam or honey for a sweet tooth. Plain is also great with curries. A good yogurt has no thickeners like corn starch (eew!) or added sugar.
