The real solution is to apply the thermal paste anew. On my laptop it's very problematic, so I left it to a local electronics magician to do.

For the record: I just got my laptop back from the magician and I can barely hear it. The thermal paste was the way to go.

It will be back. In 2008.

I won't have been working here yet in 2008, so I guess that's fine :lol:
Time travel does weird things to grammar...

You have not yet seen what German public construction project management does to the German language... the need to introduce a "Futur III"...

For events, that will probably not take place in the future, but should have so according to official decree.

Too calm. A human intelligence would have beaten this guy up. :rofl:

at +:39 to :41 seconds it looks... cautious or leary... very interesting!

edit: it walks somewhat lower, slower, and approaches in a slightly rounded arc

Been following Boston Dynamics for a while. Big Dog is a favourite:

Ok. I know it's just pile of servos, electronics, plastic and metal structure and clever programing but I actually felt bad for it. And I must say that those moves look very "organic".

Strange hoe they generate emotions, even though they are obviously machines. Probably some good sci-fi themes n there.

Not too strange... uncanny valley avoided, but complex enough to make humans estimate the behavior emotionally. Much like using robots of baby seals to cuddle in Japan.

After all - what else are we humans, if not extremely sophisticated machines?

I think I'm getting there...
One of our Olympic ladies fell over, and didn't win. Must admit I wasn't surprised, though lots of Sports Presenters appear to be.
You would think they would their research.

Quite like the Winter Olympics, usually bags of light and the pics are good. Do like the ski jump thing, must take some nerve.

Everything ever made by Boston Dynamics is nightmare fuel. And I bet they do it on purpose to get more publicity. If you build something that looks like a Cylon or a Terminator you are guaranteed to get attention. I'm surprised their machines haven't turned up in any movies yet.

Beer is its own placebo...eventually.

Truly random tidbit I learned today:

During the last 20 years, the information density of storage media and thus the bandwidth of an avian carrier has increased 3 times as fast as the bandwidth of the Internet.
