I know what you mean. I don't want to play games but am looking to carry sacks of grain through the Andes, and these cards lack the qualities of a trusty burro.
Bring me more of these... Salted. I work better with salt. Did you know that in the 20th century they actually thought that salt was bad for you? Listen to the animals I say. The lion will sit down with the lamb to share the salt lick. Good enough for them, good enough for me.
This GPU has nearly identical performance to the R9 280 that came before it
Which had nearly identical performance to the 7950 that came before it. Which came out nearly three years ago.
Meanwhile, this says it all about the CPU. Sure, the AMD might save you $100 over the (faster) Intel, but you'll pay that back on a beefier PSU and cooler and electricity bills to support the beast.
What happened, AMD? I loved you back in the Athlon64 era...
Probably between one and several hours. Half the moon might have an extra long night every month, but the planet would retain enough heat that it shouldn't threaten the biosphere.
Well, except for the hordes of flying monsters thirsty for blood that emerge every eclipse...

I'll give them this one, considering one of the purposes of this project is to prove the feasability of extraterrrestrial flight in atmospheres as thin as that of Mars.
Almost all air purifiers are nothing more than a fan blowing through a filter. Thanks to fans and filters being commodity items, there are many retail HEPA air purifiers on sale for close to this guy's price. The article is little more than a cherry picking fallacy.
Next up: Man rigs cheap alternative to $500 Denon patch cable.
The android anthropologists then went back to university and learned traits which benefit the survival of the group do not necessarily benefit the survival of the individual.
Palm had one thing going for it, at least in the early days: excellent battery life. With no wireless, no background serivces, and no traditional backlight, battery life was measured in days—or weeks—or months!
While they don't hold a candle to modern devices in every other respect, I loved being able to tap away at the thing forever without ever worrying about finding a charger. And the EL backlight was pretty darn cool (though it made you really hate dimly lit rooms)...
It's hideously slow and limited by today's standards, the standards are horribly out of date (802.11b anyone?) the ten year old battery is surely shot, and the platform is dead, dead, dead.
If you're looking for a cheap hackable device, get a no-frills Android tablet. If you're looking to get into mobile development, get any decent smartphone.
Still, if you really want to work on that old Palm, you should still be able to find the Garnet OS Development Suite.
Making wildly exaggerated claims always has been legal. Imagine if it were otherwise: you'd have to arrest whole advertising companies, and political parties, and organized religions, and the people who send me forwarded emails...

...What? Oh, sorry, I guess I kind of drifted off there.
As the author points out, each phone release is accompanied by a major OS release. With a major software release comes bugs, as well as a raft of CPU-eating new features to play with, so it makes perfect sense that there would be a spike in complaints about performance and a host of other issues. No conspiracy necessary.

They're obviously using my HorribleNameGenerator library. I'm proud to have contributed to so many FOSS projects.
Frankly, I would have expected Dremel to come out with a small desktop CNC, not a 3D printer.
I felt a great disturbance in the force, as if the WD-40 company had created a product to make things stick together.
Tighten a loose bolt! I can always use a good wrench.
It's five dollars well spent, in my opinion.
I wish them the best of luck, but the headline reminds me of the joke about the optimist falling from a building...

"Ancient of Numbers" is my new title, thanks.

It is according to the 9th amendment, which gives the people the right to claim the Constitution says anything they want it to say.
OCZ's storage division was bought by Toshiba, who now sells Toshiba drives under the OCZ brand.
Not sure what the thinking was on that one.
He has someone for that now.

Don't forget CEILINGCAT.

He managed to attach a square filter to a round duct; that's NASA-level ingenuity right there.

Not that I can blame you, but I guess you've all blocked this from your memories.

Right here, it's a bit confusing because the maps in the article are turned ~90 degrees.
