Intel's onboard SB / IB graphics are pretty darn competitive for an "integrated" solution. I believe they support DX10, and certainly are sufficient for most games on a "modest" setting.
The top end non fusion CPU genreally comes between the i5 and close to much more expensive i7, sometimes beating out the i7 in multithreaded benchmarks
Wish it were true but its not. Very little that AMD has is "close" to the i7s. What AMD has is value, and pretty decent graphics cores, as well as top end core counts.
Static power gives you the upper bound for how much power will be consumed over a given period. Benchmarks will give you the workload per period. Math will help you bridge the two.
Wattage has been a standard way of comparing the power usage of chips for a long time.
Basically, 2 military officers briefly discussed the idea in letters. Noone knows if they actually went through with it. I am not aware of their particular religious views, but certainly this was discussed in the context of a military conflict.
The claim you are making is absolutely absurd: no source, no proof, and an acknowledgement that no historian can confirm it-- but YOU have the inside scoop!
The church taught these good boys and girls in Sunday School how they should conduct themselves, and how they should view the world. Generations of Christians grew up believing that black, brown, and red men were "differetn",
This is also ignorant. Many people taught that, and christians like all people are influenced by the times they live in. Fact is a lot of the early abolotionists were christians, and views like the ones you mentioned were not unusual.
The beliefs that made it possible for good Christians to send small pox blankets to reservations.
Which, again, we have no proof ever happened, and no reason to think if it did it was civilians doing it.
The crusades-- a series of armed conflicts spanning 200 years-- has a wikipedia death toll of 1.5 million from both sides. Comparing that with Stalin or Hitler is a little bit ignorant.
I am unaware of any restrictions on the first amendment based simply on whether the expression has attribution. Surely you can see the "chilling effect" that would occur were all "protected" speech to require attribution?
It seems like every 4 years on leap year, one of Microsoft's products breaks in a hillarious way. This year, it was Microsoft Azure (which was completely unavailable). 4 years ago, it was Zune and Exchange 2007 (Zunes simply did not function, Exchange had some management issues).
Not sure if they had anything in 2004, like SBS2003 devouring all files edited that day or something, but Id be interested to know.
I dont believe it is possible to do Calculus by "rote memorization" except in the very general sense that learning and using rules and patterns is "memorization"-- but then I guess ALL learning must be considered memorization as well.
So what discipline would you put Calculus and Trigonometry under?
You might as well complain that you dont learn Real Science (tm) in high school, since they never get into advanced biochemistry or quantum physics, or that Orchestra is only "fake" orchestra because they dont churn out NSO candidates. Probably we can throw Civics into the "fake" category too, since you dont learn to litigate or draft bills.
Maybe the schools in your state need to be improved. I basically didnt need to study in Bio 101 a few years ago because I remembered a lot of the info from 9th grade biology. The math class I was required to take for my degree was several notches below the Calculus, trig, and even algebra 2 classes I took in 10th, 11th, and 12th grades. The civics class I took in 10th grade is responsible for a great deal of my working knowledge of how our government works.
Honestly, if more people had paid attention in Civics, we might be in a much better situation politically than we are across the board. Maybe YOU should have paid more attention in highschool.
in order to hopefully get to college, where one can then be saddled with explosive nondischargable deb
Sounds like you could have also learned about fiscal responsibility and cost-benefit in highschool too-- though I will agree most places dont warn you about the dangers of $30k+ tuition, one would think a rudimentary math education could serve as a warning. Most in-state tuition runs less than $6k, which is earnable (after taxes) by waiting tables-- I know because I did it, and ended with 0 college debt. One could attend UVa ($12k / year), Va Tech (~$7k / year), William & Mary (~$6800/year), or GMU (~$6500 / year) without breaking the bank, and I believe theyre all considered "top universities".
The trick is to go to in-school colleges that you can afford; and if you consider it a "big deal" to go to a certain university that you cannot afford to pay out-of-state for, you could always establish residency there. The trick is also to make your decision with a mind to reality and your ability to pay for tuition; but it seems from the entitlement mentality on slashdot at least that that is a lesson still not learned.
The whole idea of campaign contributions as speech is based upon a court interpretation of the Constitution. As such, it would require an amendment to separate the concept of slipping someone a few bucks from that of petitioning the government for a redress of grievances.
I thought the non-strawman version of the issue was "is it protected speech for me to use my $1million to advertise for $_politicalfigure." Not quite the same as "slipping someone a few bucks", which is commonly known as bribery and is already illegal.
Forgive me if this is a silly question, but isnt "sending fake credentials to the front-end app" significantly less worrisome than "can send arbitrary SQL commands to the backend DB"?
Skype has treated Linux as a second class citizen for a very long time before it was acquired by MS. I mean, it makes MS an easy target that now it looks like vendor lock-in, but its also unfair-- very shortly after the acquisition, MS released the first new Linux version of Skype in about 5 years.
I'll admit it's very amusing but I'm morally torn on this one. Is it right to do wickedness to wicked people just because they would do the same to you?
No.
That you asked the question makes me think you dont understand what "moral" means.

I would be astonished if you could get the numbers from witch trials and the inquisition anywhere near what stalin did.
The native populations in North America didn't fare to well, at the church's hands. Smallpox blankets sent to reservations, for instance
How, exactly, are you blaming that on "the church"?
I speak more of having an intuitive understanding of why something works.
Not everyone's brain works that way, and its silly to demand that everyone have an intuitive grasp of mathematics.
Very possibly there are ways to improve our system, but you cant expect everyone to love mathematics or have it be second nature to them.

Because people have forgotten what the purpose of government is; it is however still "restraining what you can do", namely how you use your money.

Quick, as part of an equation I need to calculate area under a curve.... but im not an engineer, so apparently I cant use calculus?
What about calculating limits, are they off-limits to me as well?

Apologies those were per-semester rates, except for UVA which was indeed the per-year rate.

I dont know of anyone who pretends inflation doesnt exist.
Its a lot better than the tyranny of the minority.
Newsflash: The entire purpose of government is to restrain people and limit what they can do.

Old biddies have a right to political views, too, you know.
Why wouldnt someone simply re-encode the film?
Not everything is a conspiracy; increasing filesize in a format where excess data can easily be stripped out is a pretty terrible way to fight piracy.

AMD didnt have a class action lawsuit requiring them to purchase new laptops for end users involved in the claim.
we already have a selection function, its called antivirus / heuristics.
