"will continuously operate at more than 1 petaflop" makes no sense. You could say "1 petaflop per second", construing "flop" to mean "FLoating point OPeration", or say "1 petaflops", if you prefer "flops" as "FLoating point Operations Per Second". If you leave out both the word "second" and the letter "s" from the abbreviation, then it doesn't mean anything. It's like saying that your car can "operate at 250 km".
there's reasons why she doesn't capitalize i and her name.
From that essay of hers:
Why must it follow some New York Times standard guide for naming?
If she's trying to hold the New York Times up as some sort of bastion of traditional naming, it's sort of a bad example, what with Jennifer 8. Lee and all.
DNF was announced in 1997. That's *ten* years. If it's 2015 and Spore still isn't out, then maybe.
There's a great quote on bash.org somewhere (can't get to the site now at work), something like "I bet in 1998 you'd have never guessed that you'd get married before Duke Nukem Forever came out". As someone who got married a year and half ago, I can definitely relate.
Why did you think that? I really enjoyed Caesar IV. There were definitely some weak points (anything relating to the military, mainly) but the core city-building parts I thought were excellent.
I would go buy Link's Awakening (the first Game Boy Zelda) right now if it were available. Original or DX (for the GBC), I don't care either way. I hope it happens eventually.
I guess I'll just have to quit watching baseball games. Oh wait I find the sport boring and asinine and don't watch it anyways.
Wow, thanks for that stunning insight. My day has been brightened just by knowing that your superior intellect is out there. I only beg that you continue to be willing to share even a small portion of your greatness with us mortals.
(Next time, just don't read the articles that don't interest you.)
um, do you read the same Slashdot I do? Because the one I read features front page articles about how Republicans are going to outlaw elections, and always manages to have comments bashing Bush in every article, no matter how irrelevant. How you can claim that "the flavor of politics around here" is anything other than crazy left is beyond me.
Do I really need a deep backstory for my 'kill ten boars' quest? Not really. And because I skipped reading that, I also skipped some thing important. Now I'm lost, and starting not to care.
But you know what: we voted in a new House and Senate who will hopefully change America back to the way I think it should be.
You're either an idiot, 10 years old, or just have amnesia. The Democans are just the same as the Republicrats. Politicians are politicians, no matter their letter.
indeed. Found a copy of Planetfall floating around on an old hard drive just the other day -- should give it a go again, see if I can remember the way through.:)
Sounds mainly like you were expecting something completely different. It indeed bears no resemblance to actually playing guitar, but it's not really supposed to... it's DDR, but with a guitar-shaped controller instead of a dance pad.
I play guitar also, but love GH for what it is. Shit, if it were the game you were describing, you really would might as well just play a real guitar.
Um, he wrote Thinking in Java, one of the best Java books out there, and he fully admits in the article (which you obviously didn't read) that he now works for Adobe to promote Flex.
- "disgruntled"? With the continuing budget shortfalls, IT resource expansion always lagging company growth, lusers opening virus email,... I have yet to meet a "gruntled" IT professional.
"gruntled" is actually a bad thing -- "disgruntled" means, more or less, "extremely gruntled". It's not the same "dis" as in "dissatisfied" or something.
Need more than just patching -- I used nLite last time I needed to reinstall XP, and took out a bunch of the useless crap that XP comes with. (Luna, OE come to mind first, though lots of other things as well). But once all that was done, and SP2 added, and everything -- XP works pretty well for me, as a desktop machine. I was actually surprised how much taking out the crap helped. Buried deep within XP is a decent desktop OS, but it's hard to get to.:P
Because Elbereth knows, the thing that's been missing from Settlers of Catan is a 13-year-old screaming "give me some bricks you fucking faggot mexican jew lizard!"
This is because at the amount of evidence, even by simple observations on the climate changes in the place where we live, it's obvious it's not a kidding matter anymore.
You're an idiot. Even if the worst theories about "global warming" are true, *you* haven't observed anything. If it's true, many data points all over the world will be showing an average increase in temperature over the course of several years. Just because there was a warm day last week where you live doesn't mean shit.
Frankly, the fact that so many people say "OMG SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS" (as if that means anything -- 150 years ago there was "scientific consensus" about the luminiferous aether) despite not really knowing anything about the actual theories besides what Al Gore told them, means it really is a "kidding matter", as you put it. You were probably spouting doomsday scenarios about an upcoming human-caused ice age 30 years ago, and ranting about acid rain and ozone holes 15 years ago. Mainly it's amusing.
Ok, I'm ready for your inevitable "I bet you were paid off by Exxon!" response. Let's have it.
Slashdot Mirror
You sould see the kind of yelling I do in the car if I accidentally scan the radio and Rush comes on.
Man, I like to sing along with "Spirit of Radio" too, but you don't need to get crazy about it!

Well if they are willing to go drm-free, how about a site
to buy their 'tunes if you are NOT running M$.
Hm, I hadn't realized Apple had sold OS X to Microsoft. Must have missed the Slashdot story on that. (I shouldn't worry, it'll be duped soon!)

Caesar IV wasn't a very good game
Why did you think that? I really enjoyed Caesar IV. There were definitely some weak points (anything relating to the military, mainly) but the core city-building parts I thought were excellent.

Wow, Vista has NT technology! Will this new OS system support LCD displays and NIC cards too?
(Excuse me, I need to go put my PIN number in an ATM machine.)
It's life, Jim, but not as we know it!
Oh, and there's Klingons off the starboard bow!
We come in peace, shoot to kill!
download the new Avril Lavigne album (for the record, I did, and it's shit).
well, yeah, but i'd still fuck her up the ass.
Do I really need a deep backstory for my 'kill ten boars' quest? Not really. And because I skipped reading that, I also skipped some thing important. Now I'm lost, and starting not to care.
...and this is the game's fault?
I'm having a hard time believing it, but apparently it's true....
Yes, I guess they are still selling Zunes.
"Obviously these guys never played GTA3, since it was also set in the "fictional" Liberty City"
um... or the first GTA, which was the original source of the GTA Liberty City? seriously, can no one remember anything more than 3 years ago?
But you know what: we voted in a new House and Senate who will hopefully change America back to the way I think it should be.

Then again, I am the one that ran XP with absolutely no virii
Of course, it seems that you can't grasp how to write English correctly, so apparently we all have our faults.

Now you know, and knowing is half the battle!
XP SP2 patched is a decent OS.
:P
