I wish they would teach it better in the US. I encounter a situation every morning that is perfect for parallel parking yet most people fail at it. I've taken parking spaces in bigger vehicles that people in small cars passed up. What's even worse is that people can park in this area much more compactly because there are no marked spaces yet they continue to leave almost enough space for a car to park between them.
Way to miss the point. Tea costs very little to make and is sold for far more than the expense of making it. I have a box of tea that cost $2 and makes about 5 gallons with simple equipment and minimal effort. A restaurant can do it on a much larger scale. Very few people go to a deli just to buy tea. That is why it can't stand on its own. People enjoy tea with their food. Thus, tea is almost pure profit though it isn't a large amount.
I didn't think I'd have to say this, but, a 2000% profit of $1.99 is still only $1.99. If your Sweet tea is popular, it is basically a license to print money but you can ony print small bills. It brings in decent money but nobody is, certainly not I, claiming that it can stand alone.
Ok, let's throw in some costs. Some quick calculations(labor, price of water, cost to heat the water, etc) brought it from 4000% profit to 2000%. Still insane profit.
Of course they are paying for all of that stuff, but the tea is almost pure profit. It is very easy to make, requires few resources, and the greater income from the food easily pays for the rest. My point, though, is that the pure cost of the food itself is usually more than a tiny fraction of a percent of the price charged.
You want misrepresentation of cost? Try Sweet Tea at just about any deli. It costs me about $.25/gallon to make it at home without a bulk discount but delis will often sell 16-20 oz for almost $2. They could charge less, but why would they? People are already buying gallons of it for at least 4000% more than cost and very happy about it.
Not only does the user not have any say, what the user says cannot be trusted. Users do what they are told. Show them something they want and if they want it bad enough, they will install whatever plugin you give them to get it.
I'm skipping blu-ray and just using streaming to get HD movies. I got a Star Trek blu-ray combo pack mostly for the download code. With the built-in VUDU app I can watch it in 1080p/7.1. I can't get that with the DVD. Technically, it doesn't look as good as the blu-ray that I have no player for but it looks better than the DVD. The best part about the download code, though, was I also used it in iTunes for the audio commentary special feature.
It also doesn't keep the case as cool, though. If you are worried about keeping it cool, the best strategy is pulling the warm air out instead of pushing cool air in. I can't find the article at the moment but one group tried several fan configurations and found that many popular concepts weren't true at all.
That's a fair question. I can think of many things that I do and new features in programs that I love that would probably easily run on a very old computer. I used a 2003-era laptop until 2011 that met the vast majority of my needs. That's why I choose an i3 for my new desktop. It had excellent bang-for-the-buck and was so much faster.
Your P4 at 4GHz can't do nearly as much as a single core on a newer processor. My 2.4GHz P4 coverts DVD movies to low-res in 8 hours or so, my 2.8GHz i3 does the exact same thing in 20 minutes, 24x faster overall and 6x faster per thread.
Anyway, in response to the original post, lower power means cheaper power components that can't handle as many watts so it actually limits the amount of power the CPU can use.
Do you have any evidence of this? That sounds like pure conjecture to me.
They still accept shit, though. The Avengers is only available in stereo, though they did finally get a 5.1 copy of Captain America(it was previously only in stereo). I find it utterly amazing that they even have recent movies only in stereo.
McDonalds doesn't even flip burgers any more. The have machines that cook both sides simultaneously now. It wouldn't take much to have a machine place and remove the burgers, as well. The fries are already dispensed from a machine so the batches are always the same size.

We can't use something until everybody uses it?

Somebody mod this guy "informative". He clearly knows what he's talking about.

It appears that you can do arithmetic, so it shouldn't be hard to figure out approximately how much longer it will take.
You have to be pretty unlucky to get hit by a tornado, though. Very big ones are only a mile wide and typically run for a few miles.

There had better be a factory seal. I don't want someone showing up with a kit missing what I need.
The ISS is anything but raw materials.
The author did mention that this was a consumer-oriented review and a review that focused more on the new APIs is in the works.

Many websites have wised up to that. They'll often just print the page and not the whole article.
What about all the other colors of people that this also happens to? It isn't exclusively to black people.

Speed vs Price is important when comparing similar speeds. Price doesn't matter if the speed isn't good enough, which is where Intel is winning.
