    IBM implements programming language that substitutes a human brain

    IBM has started working on implementing a programming language that can substitute a human mind. This may take a decade or so before becoming a reality. However, it will only take several decades before AI will be smarter than the human race and wipes us off Earth...

    Why you should start using FLAC

    Everyone has one but the difference is whether you use it or not and for what purpose you are using it for.

    Microsoft Crashes, plane into houses

    On a serious note, how can helicopters not be safer than planes in terms of normal/non-combat flying. I know it can't fly higher to avoid storms, that should be all.

    Microsoft Crashes, plane into houses

    I've piloted several helicopters in helicopters simulation games such as "Take on Helicopters" and "Arma 3". Its far easier to control than flying a jet and most importantly, its slower. Slow means safe.

    Helicopters are safer than planes, just look at Apache - its a flying tank.

    Why you should start using FLAC

    @fisle There's actually quite a handy formula for you to calculate the loss so that you can show it to your cheap friends and convert them into quality product users. I would transpose to account for the curvatures of space time and the increasing density and slowing clock associated with data...

    Why Mac is the best OS

    VMWare is the worst virtualisation software I've ever seen. Parallels on the other hand is the best. Why? Parallels Desktop for Mac allows me to seamlessly run both Windows and Mac OS X Lion applications side-by-side with speed, control and confidence.  Unlike VMWare, I have to wait for the...

    Why Mac is the best OS

    I'm really sure what you're trying to say but personally I am a full-on MacFaggot. I don't give a fuck about gaming and most Windows based hardware can't into multi-touch as well as Apple, so that's my excuse. Also, I have always felt the mouse-cursor connection on Windows machines is clunky...

    Why Mac is the best OS

    I'll like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU...

    Why Mac is the best OS

    Mac > Windows > Linux I know, it's not what you want to hear. But Mac OS is stable, secure, and has tons of free, easy to use, and open sourced software. There's really no reason to use Windows or Linux, which aren't as easy to use. Mac is more secure than Windows Mac is easier to use than any...

    Why you should start using FLAC

    Use Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, etc. Another thing to remember is to not to install Gentoo. No, but seriously, your computer loses mp3, ogg etc. FLAC has a gps chip embedded in the file so it is lossless

    Why you should start using FLAC

    I'm an expert on these matters, so listen up and listen good - I'll try to keep this simple but it won't be easy, because I am an expert, as I mentioned previously. Hearing the difference now isn't the reason to encode to FLAC. FLAC uses lossless compression, while MP3 is 'lossy'. What this...

    Internap public cloud - I'm as mad as Gordon Ramsays

    Hi Andrew,  Thanks for the reply. Internap has a mix of good and bad staffs. (Probably because its a big company) Some of them are really incompetent and gets me all wrecked up while some are nice like you. Just one question, why is the cloud running on AMD bulldozers? I mean, really, why...
