And fun fact: Mr. Coffee makes some nice, cheap K-cup compatible machines (work with the refillable cups) that are also as small as my wife's old one cup drip coffee maker that somehow always made a mess and had more to clean out after each cup then the Mr. Coffee with reusable cup (we got a nice all stainless steel reusable cup for durability).
I'm currently bidding out a pretty hefty workstation (128GB RAM, RAID 5 disk array, highly parallel workload).
From what I'm seeing, AMD is pretty competitive on price/performance. Our work load is integer heavy, and I can get a dual 16-core 2.8ghz AMD machine for $2500 cheaper than a dual 10 core 3.2ghz Intel machine. Even if you assume the AMD is 20-30% slower per core, it stacks up quite nicely.
The MBs are cheaper, the processors are cheaper, and the registered DDR3 DIMMs are waaaaay cheaper than the DDR4 RDIMMs that Haswells seem to love.
Agreed. What's more, modern energy-efficient fridges use smaller compressors and run them longer than older ones.
I just replaced my old brick with an LG refrigerator (a big one, too) with their linear compressor. Because it's essentially a continuously variable displacement compressor, there's no big startup inrush current like the older style compressors. Instead, it just starts gently until it gets up to full speed. And the compressor doesn't even need to run a full power, it cycles around 50% most of the time.
Hah! In the movie they shaped it like a regular cartridge, with a shoulder on the casing and everything... except that the "motor" is on the back of the cartridge, meaning the entire thing is actually a huge bullet.
I hope this wasn't something that was supposed to be able to be fired from a regular rifle in the movie!
Wow, that guy just kept causing problems. That he eventually strangled himself on a bed pulley system of his own design seems like a pretty fitting (and ironic) end to his life.
I would enroll in Netflix just for more Better off Ted. C'mon, Lem and Phil are my favorite TV duo! That episode where they have the timer set to switch which one is in charge every couple minutes is frigging genius.
It's not. But politically, he's calling it the most important because it's something humans can't do anything about. If fits in perfectly with the right's narrative on AGW. By making the problem out of their control, they can claim anyone wanting to do anything about it just wants to "kill jobs" or "redistribute wealth."
The '05 Corolla is 5 inches shorter and 3 inches narrower than the '15.
It also weighs 2,530 to 2,670 lbs, vs 2,800 to 2,875 lbs for the '15.
Sadly, Toyota no longer sells a car that size to compare to. Nissan sells a Versa sedan (ugh) that is a lot closer in size than the '15 Corolla (it's a bit smaller). Base price is $12k.
Cars always bloat and become larger with time. Then they introduce a "new" small car at the bottom. People love it, but they think "it'll sell better if it were just a bit bigger" every time they redesign. Rinse, lather, repeat. The size/weight of a brand new Honda Civic is actually larger overall than a 1987 Accord. Go figure... now we have the Fit. Which jumped up in size with the '09 refresh.
Not sure why Chevy's gone resistive. Both Tesla and the Nissan Leaf use a heat pump... I mean, if it's already got the compressor and radiators for A/C, why not do it that way?

Mine does the same.

Went and bought a 2.0 machine not knowing there was a difference.
Ended up returning it the next day... also bought a Mr. Coffee K-cup machine.
Way to fail, Keurig.

This is the most sadly insightful thing I've ever read on Slashdot.
Insightful.
And sad.
Correlation is not causation?
What do you think came first, the high crime rate, or the restrictive gun laws?

We don't have time to go to Starbucks now.
You know he means NO as in Nitric Oxide, not an emphatic "no," right?
NOx would be better though, since it's really a mixture of a bunch of things.
I thought LagFix just executed an SSD TRIM.

What's epic, is that I just tried inputting cursive and had 100% recognition success (although I was writing extra carefully to play with it).

As would sitting in a jail cell awaiting trial.
You're right! Argh!
Bing Maps is like what you'd get if you updated the old version of Google Maps, but made it better instead of worse.
I feel so dirty now :(

"super magnetic levitation motor"
I wonder what that means.
Um.

Um, you do realize that desalinization plants don't desalinate the ocean, right?
He's calling it an (the most?) important component BECAUSE we can't do anything about it.
Think about it.
You treat your marriage as a job... ?
There's a big difference in negotiations in your personal and professional life.
Lewis' Law strikes again.
They HAVE a resistive heater, but they don't use it... unless it's -10F out. Especially when you have nice pre-heat scheduling options.
Whereas the Volt is running resistive all the time, no matter what.
