It did a pretty good job of it. Not only is it all over the embedded space, it has over half of the servers on the internet. So much so that the big expensive commercial Unix alikes went away.
Oddly enough, no. The darts don't weigh enough to drive the tip in. Add weight to fix that and then the launcher won't have enough power to launch the dart.
Because the uses are highly illegal, nearly certain to intercept the calls of law abiding citizens, and absolute proof that they intend to become big brother as soon as they can.
If the Nerf or Airsoft gun plausibly look like a gun, the effect on the victim is the same (unless you actually shoot, that is). It makes sense but unfortunately some prosecutors stretch it past the limits.
You mean like that the last 0.5 GB runs slower (you know, the clocks is wrong) and creates bus contention? Or how it can only do 7 accesses in parallel, not 8? Even Nvidia admits they gave out incorrect information, how is it you are so sure they didn't?
Or Canada, or South America, or the U.S. or Norway, or.....
If it is a problem for Europe, let Europe spend the bux and deal with the heartburn. Most of Europe made it quite clear they don't want us involved anyway.
So we take X - 800%X = -7X, hmmm I say to myself, spinning it backwards at 7x normal speed seems unlikely. They must not be using percentages right.
Note how the absurdity of the statement when interpreted the standard way tips me off that something is wrong. Doesn't that make more sense than pretending to be baffled when someone uses it correctly?
They certainly didn't do testing before they got a test unit. Then, once they did, I'm guessing they ran a very standard test suite that probably doesn't try to stress memory capacity.
I'm quite sure the numbers in Nvidia ads and on the box didn't come from review site tests.
And yes, I'm sure some sites actually tested, but I'll bet more than we would like just grabbed the numbers from Nvidia.
However, it happens under a condition that is within the spec of the card. Had the card been specced as 3.5 GB and it just happened to be able to go to 4GB (outside of spec), all bets about performance would reasonably be off.
If specifications are to mean something they must be met. They COULD have qualified the specs by saying 4 GB max ram and then explicitly state that the performance figures happen at 3.5 GB and they would be fine.
Allowing the fast and loose approach distorts the market and shafts the best in the market. Consider, what if another card was out there that cost $5 more but didn't have the massive fall-off when accessing the last 600M of it's RAM.
That depends. If the certification process is highly regulated, they'll find new and more spectacular ways to fail. It the certification itself is left for the market to figure out, they'll vote with their dollar and select for the rubber stamps and drive the people who actually know the standard and expect it to be met into another line of work.
I'm not the one who used the phrase in the first place. I'm just the one who somehow managed to understand a perfectly common phrase that really doesn't have a lot of ambiguity to it.
Perhaps if more people would take a moment to explain 'bi-weekly' (fortnightly), there wouldn't be so much confusion there either.

Even if not, mitigating the heat island effect is a worthwhile goal, especially since lite colored roofing is no more expensive than dark.
OK, so I suppose Linux isn't doing well in the ass diamond industry, but otherwise it is widely used.
And just look at them now! Severely marginalized and barely clinging to existence.

I wouldn'ty be surprised if the name BOOSTS sales because it IS funny.

None, but that's because corrupt courts have exempted them from the law. It's the Citizens they fear in this.
I don't think they're fully there yet but they're trying as hard as they can and that is in itself damning.

It doesn't mean they can't do the spending for their own benefit.

Two problems: we need the oil the ME provides
No. We really don't. The Middle East is not nearly as significant as it was in the early '70s.
Mod parent up. The terrorists are Bugs Bunny and we are Yosemite Sam.
Yes, but now that the several things you named are gon, it is nothing but clothing stores and bad restaurants. Like OP said.
But in this case, the clocks and RAM data is wrong.
You may be on to something here!

Functional healthy markets cannot coexist with deceptive specifications (even unintentionally deceptive).

You might not realize this but most of those review numbers came right from Nvidia's marketing department.

Nvidia has already admitted that it's own people were confused by the claims. That says a lot about who the courts might blame.
As for computers in general, I find that when I do access all of the memory (HPC), those accesses happen at the rated speed.
As for the rest, an anti-emetic might keep you from being shoved in a locker.
