Overclocked 4.7ghz Intel i7 pulling 220watt/hr at the wall. Throw on a 200watt GPU and you have under 450watt peak. Few applications outside of distributed number-crunching and peg a multi-core CPU or GPU.
My 5 year old computer sits around 15% cpu and 8% GPU when getting 60+FPS in EvE/WoW and similar CPU and about 30%-60% GPU when playing FPS games with 4x AA @ 1080p at ultra settings.
More modern CPUs and GPUs consume even less power. The newer model GPU in the same price range is rated for nearly 1/2 the TDP and almost double the performance. The similar newer model for my CPU is about 2/3 the TDP, but about 1/5 the idle and about 6x the peak performance.
Next year, Intel's new high-end CPU is ging to be rated for around 20-40watt TDP and around 250milliwatt idle
Tell me again how modern computers need these 700watt PSUs.
Quality for quality, OEM is more expensive, but they usually cut out quality to make the average case work "fine" but cheaper.
I remember when I purchased my Dell. I tried to price it out on NewEgg and it was about 50% more expensive to build. Now, if I priced out a "high end" $1.5k+ system, then I would save money, but not on a low end $800 system.
I assume you mean civilian population because I know a few people went into right into the nuclear leaking part to manually fix things and they came out with radiation burns covering large portions of their bodies. I'm sure those people didn't live.
To be fair, it was "normal" back then for them to have sex that young. I'm sure 1300 years from now, certain "normal" things that we do today will be looked at as barbaric.
I don't know how true this is, but one of the blogs from MS during Metro's development talked about how the most long-term successful and usable UIs have all required learning the UI and have not been intuitive.
Something about a self-descriptive UI requires displaying too much information to the user. This makes the learning process better, but the average case that is after all is learned is much worse.
Only time will tell, but MS is banking on people learning what a charm is and eventually it being common knowledge. Kind of an "off like a bandaid" type transition. Hurts a lot up-front but should be better in the long run./meh
I'm not the best at math, but I've read about a 1/10^9 accuracy in modern DNA testing. If you test 8000 people, then it's 8000/10^9 or 0.0008% chance of a false positive.
I could be completely wrong. If I am, someone correct me please.
At my state uni, complaints about a teacher could land them teaching remedial classes. At the final session of class, the students got to rank the teacher. If the teacher scored too low too many semesters in a row, they could land in some very hot water and I have seen some "high ranking" long term teachers get in big trouble from bad student reviews.
As for students getting kicked out of the uni, only really two real ways to get kicked out of my state uni without being able to ask for a student body jury. As long as you paid your tuition and didn't do anything considered illegal in the normal sense, all students were given the right to ask to present their case to the student government and have jury of students decide their fate.
A house is just property, a computer can be a proxy of one's self and actually do actions on your behalf. It's more like a person attacking you and fighting back at that person that someone breaking into your house then you breaking into their house.
SQL injection "exploits" shouldn't be considered "hacking". It's more akin to someone leaving the door to the bank open than someone having to do any serious work.
That's like saying someone with a gun is shooting at you, but you say "guns are not fair".
Do you let yourself hamstring yourself and not use guns to fight back or do you fight back with guns and have people claim you're a bad person for using guns?
What is ideal is not always practical, but one can always aim for the ideal case. Google wants(I think) the ideal case, but must play dirty if they want to survive.
This is my view on the subject and am not in anyway trying to say that I am right and others are wrong.
The value of his comment is more than yours. You seem to have no concept of the idea of "wholesale" and seem to have some idea that Blizzard can magically get prices much lower.
1) Vasco advertises $6.5/unit wholesale for large batches
2) Blizzard buys large batches, then pays to customize them and then pays again to ship them to Blizzard warehouses
3) Blizzard incurs administrative overhead for processing and storage
4) Blizzard sells end-product for $6.5 and covers the cost of shipping 2 day priority mail(I've purchased 5 auths over the many years and all have come within 2 days from across the nation via USPS).
Really, how much money to you think Blizzard is making?
To add to it, when I purchased my original auths, it was buy one get one free, so I was able to get 2 for $6.5 and they were shipped from Cali and made it to the Midwest with in 2 days.
wow.. some messed up logic here. Next he'll be stating how letting people get cancer is better for the economy because it helps keep doctors in business and insurance covers it anyway.
It seems to me that the ability to "lock up" formerly free software has enabled the worst actors in the global market for computer software to accumulate wealth and power which they have then used to distort the market to the detriment of free software authors. The GPL is a response to this perception.
The software is always free. What they do is not make their changes free, but the original is still free as ever.
An idea cannot be "stolen" or "taken away". The original will always remain.
Personally, I think most people's ability to think breaks down once "infinite" is involved. I have no qualms with GPL, but your argument is full of holes. You are as bad as the RIAA claiming others steal their work and every stolen copy is a lost sale. Please revise your argument, it makes the GPL look like a bunch of zealots use it.
If I wanted to skip the "filler" classes, I would have gone to a tech college, got done in 1/2 the time for 1/4 the cost. Those filler classes taught me to appreciate other aspects of society and made me a more well rounded person.
The quality of one's work isn't the only measurement of their contribution to society.
Rags to riches stories are anomalies. They only happen a few times every few generations when a new market can be created. It's like a lottery ticket where you need to be at the right place at the right time, know the right people, and have the right skills when the opportunity presents itself. Your "huge number" is probably fewer than 100.
I don't directly work with routers, but how might a signed block help? Each network is different and has different routes, unless the owner of an IP block is willing to work with every network operator in the world, there is no way for them to sign a block to state said route is correct.
Not to discredit any optimizations that you may have done, but I have found that many people who program in C# forget to use bitwise operations, re-use buffers, or pin objects and use pointer operations.
I've gotten many factor performance increases from the above.
In certain situations, I have used structures instead of classes and changed up the order of for-loops and have gotten 15%-20% increases from being more cache friendly.
You'd be amazed how much performance you can squeeze out by knowing how.Net does things on the back-end or knowing how the CPU works.

7000watt? Are you running 3 GPUs?

But Google owns that part of Motorola now, so Google can just tell Motorola to sue MS.

I'm also retardedly excited.
I think what you were going for is natural processes tend to have a net neutral or even negative, but human activity is almost entirely net positive.

There are two ways to measure speed: 1) Bandwidth 2) Latency
Because latency is fixed by light, then there is only one type of speed. I don't see the confusion
Steam does not require DRM to be enabled. It is just a centralized distribution and management platform that supports DRM.
Steam has worked flawlessly for everyone that I know.
They shifted the bottle-neck. A positive multi-magnitude change in any bottle-neck is warmly welcomed.
