the concern for pulmonary disease is that you inhale water droplets with these germs inside them.
The concern of whom? My only concern would be that my immune system is not equipped to deal with them.
Put crudely and stealing from George Carlin, the people who swim in sewage never get sick.... the others do, and they lead pathetic lifes on top of that, as if to add insult to injury.
who was the first to claim brain cells can't regenerate, and what reason did they have for their claim? why did anyone take them seriously to begin with?
For testing, we load the three sites into tabs on our test web browser, wait 60 seconds, and then reload all three tabs.
LOL! So, uhm, you did your best to make it as distant from real life browsing habits as possible. Good job.
the best battery life on the NV52 ends up coming from what most consider the slowest browser, Internet Explorer 8. Our thought is that Microsoft has optimized IE8 better than most of the competition, since it's a major part of the OS.
Yeah, or it just takes longer to display the time consuming things haha... or a myriad of other possible explanations... what's the point of testing this, when you don't even have a closer look at how the browsers operate? It's like leaving the meat of the subject as an exercise to the reader..
You might also wanna look into "how fast do you get from point A to point B (on the web) using browser X and battery power amount Y, without your hair turning grey", which is a far cry from "sitting there idly and pressing F5 three times once a minute".
At least for me, it always was gameplay -> graphics/sound -> plot. Unless the plot is really, *really* good.
Maybe the question the article really should be asking is: "Why are so many people buying and playing games without when they could just as well watch a movie or chew bubble gum, and how can gamers be protected from the resulting degradation of their environment and aspirations?" ^^
By the way, if anyone here is in advertising or marketing, kill yourself.
Just a little thought. I'm just trying to plant seeds. Maybe one day, they'll take root. I don't know. You try. You do what you can. Kill yourself.
Seriously, though. If you are, do. No, really. There's no rationalisation for what you do, and you are Satan's little helpers, okay? Kill yourself. Seriously. You are the ruiner of all things good, seriously. No, this is not a joke, if you're going: "There's going to be a joke coming." There's no fucking joke coming. You are Satan's spawn, filling the world with bile and garbage. You are fucked, and you are fucking us. Kill yourself, it's the only way to save your fucking soul. Kill yourself. Planting seeds.
I know all the marketing people are going: "He's doing a joke." There's no joke here whatsoever. Suck a tail-pipe, fucking hang yourself, borrow a gun from a Yank friend - I don't care how you do it. Rid the world of your evil fucking machinations.
I know what all the marketing people are thinking right now too. "Oh, you know what Bill's doing? He's going for that anti-marketing dollar. That's a good market, he's very smart." Oh man. I am not doing that, you fucking evil scumbags! "Oh, you know what Bill's doing now? He's going for the righteous indignation dollar. That's a big dollar. Lot of people are feeling that indignation, we've done research. Huge market. He's doing a good thing." God damn it, I'm not doing that, you scumbags. Quit putting a goddamn dollar sign on every fucking thing on this planet! "Oh, the anger dollar. Huge. Huge in times of recession. Giant market, Bill's very bright to do that." God, I'm just caught in a fucking web. "Oh, the trapped dollar. Big dollar, huge dollar. Good market, look at our research. We see that many people feel trapped. If we play to that and then separate them into the trapped dollar..."
How do you live like that? And I bet you sleep like fucking babies at night, don't you? "What did you do today, honey?" "Oh, we made arsenic childhood food. Now, good night. Yeah, we just said, you know, is your baby really too loud? You know... yeah, the mums will love it, yeah." Sleep like fucking children, don't you? This is your world, isn't it?
Perhaps it's not so much that I'm intelligent and interested enough to have read a bit about how this INTARWEBS we all use *actually* works, instead of repeating snippets I picked in the 90's...
... but just that you're a big mouthed idiot (turning whiny bitch once that has been pointed out)? oh look, you posted anonymously to protect your precious karma... and then call me nerd... hmm.
don't flatter yourself, it wasn't really a joke until I came along to point it out ^^
you are so utterly wrong. what you posted just specifies that the page expires at that date, it doesn't say anything about any linked elements. those send their own HTTP headers. speaking of that: never use META tags when you can send HTTP headers instead, and please just use "0" instead of making up dates in the past.
Older tests have proven that SSDs have a massive impact on the minimum framerate for texture hungry games.
Any reviewer measuring FPS in relation to SSD performance should go get a job painting fences.
Uhm... no.
Average FPS of average games is not the same as the minimum FPS for texture hungry games (lots of textures get loaded on the fly all the time, so random access times are a big factor).
Summary: A reviewer having a look of the impact of SSDs on the minimum framerate for texture hungry games will get some interesting insights... while a poster making pompous and false claims about that reviewer may modded insightful, but actually isn't.
You just made that up, right? Most paper is made out of trees that are planted to make paper... at least so I'm told, and I have no troubles believing that... the actual problem of course is recklessly cutting down rainforests which need many centuries if not more to become as diverse as they are, not planting trees and cutting them down a few years later... HUGE difference, and saying "every bit helps" makes the issue muddy and therefore actually hurts.
If anything, one could talk about chemicals used when making paper, or energy consumption.
Quotes mark, ehm, a quote. You know, something someone else said, or usually says. Rhetorically it's also a way to distance yourself from their way of putting it. Or they can be used to express irony! "Albert Hall" is code for something nasty I suspect.
My laser printer does 2400 dpi horizontally and 600 dpi vertically (which they call 1200 dpi), and that is a LOT more than screen resolution, even with a really good monitor. Then again, that is not exactly the toner saving mode... but still: bitching about how this font looks on screen or with a crappy printer -> fail.
That doesn't mean all image processing apps are multithreaded, does it? I also mentioned "archiving lots of files"... so let's just say "spikes of CPU usage" instead... switching to browser tab with a complex webpage on it, for example, whatever... the more cores you have, the less the maximum possible speed for a single thread. It's neat when a single process cannot lock everything up, but you don't need more than two cores for that...
Most of these processes hardly utilize the CPU though, and if you have 8 cores, a process can use at most 1/8 of your total CPU power, right? That might be nice when browsing and e-mailing and such, but when converting a big image or archiving lots of files it means most of the CPU will sit idle.
So I tend to think 2 cores is kinda perfect: when a program does some heavy crunching, it can eat up 50% at most, and the other core can be used to run all those small trivial processes you mentioned smoothly.
"This guy has worldwide recognition for being a car thief for the rest of his life."
Yeah, right. To me wishing that upon someone - let's ignore the pompous craziness of actually believing it for a moment - can be much worse than stealing a car, depending on the circumstances. Not that I even read TFA, I mean, c'mon... vindictive little bitches playing sheriff on the internet, what else is new? I do that all the time haha.
Vista receives worse press than Bush. Let's take some REAL action here.
That's the most idiotic thing I read in a while. Just hook yourself up to some virtual reality shizzle already and refrain from polluting meatspace please, kthxbye.

"Why is this a problem? if I could get away with spending other's money for my comfort, I would too."
The problem then would be that it's so easy to get away with it, no?
"Man, you really have to disable the mind2text plugin before posting to /."

"if market pressures aren't the driving force behind this vapid propagandistic state of the media, what is?"
That's simple: the pressures of the powerful. The "free market" isn't really as free as people are supposed to think it is, anyway.
I just pointed out that doublespeak is a de facto standard most anywhere, but nice rant anyway.
Nah, it's okay, democracy is a popular word of not-so-democratic systems besides the USA.
Telling a water bag to go spill already is flamebait, not trolling. Anyways...

Story from the 5th: "satellite spotters" Current story: "satellite spotters make government uneasy" That's not a dupe in the slightest. Gah.
You left out the hinge: "considered an issue more carefully"
