    Last chance to see Discovery in orbit

    There could be a few more space shuttle missions with Endeavor and Atlantis! The final Discovery mission went completely flawless.

    Sweedish woman has the fastest residential internet in the world?

    I do not believe that speed. Mostly because the fastest residential speed I have in my area is 6mbps download and 1mbps upload... The United States, where I live, is so frustrating to me about internet speeds. Every major ISP I see sits on their *** and is not distributing faster speeds to...

    Moore's law is quickly becoming obsolete, what will they to next?

    On Wikipedia, there are plans for Intel and other companies to go as small as 11nm. After that, there is a big gray area which points toward nanotechnology. This is going to be in well over a decade, so I'm not really worried about it at all.

    Will computers ever be smarter than humans?

    Love the '2001' reference. It is possible to simulate this and have computers show decision making processes - but only at a simple layer. The only way I can see this becoming possible is perhaps integrating organic life with computers. Scientists have already made microbes act as hard...

    Calculators Free anti-virus software advice please

    AVG, Avast!, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials. Avira Free has some really good detection scores! As well as an Antivirus, I suggest downloading an on-demand anti-malware. The best of the best seems to be SuperAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes.

    Can You Reformat a Hard Drive Without the Original Windows CD?

    Why would you reformat your hard drive to downgrade your OS? The majority of all laptops have an OEM protected partition with Windows 7 on it, ready to install. My laptop has a nice little button that once pressed when the laptop is off, it let's me reformat and reinstall Windows 7 in a snap...

    Will computers ever be smarter than humans?

    Probably the best recent example is IBM's 'Watson' that appeared on Jeopardy. It stored all this stored information on its 16TB of RAM and had lots of processors to sort through that information. What the most impressive thing about this was the software developed for it was able to discern...

    Invisibility Cloak - Read about Latest Developments

    I do not recall watching anything about a tank. However, the episode I saw about the cloak on a soldier was pretty lame to say the least. It was more of a demonstration to a theory than anything. But with better technology of screens that can wrap around objects, this can totally happen.

    Should Schools Switch to Free, Open Source Software?

    That's a common misconception. Linux powers 99% of all servers. So if a hacking group wanted to take down a large portion of the World's websites they would develop it for Linux. Fortunately Linux is much more secure than Windows in that is a Permission-based operating system and requires the...
