Not around here. Local ISP was running fiber through another citizens lawn and that person wasn't even a customer. Trenched a line right through. If you're in the city, ISPs have 100% access. They come through my property to run to someone else's land. Never even contacted me. They did a great job though, very professional. I couldn't even tell where they buried the fiber without getting up close.
If a search engine returns bad results, then fewer people will use it. Lets try another headline shall we?
Taxi bad service drops people off at competitors of the requested destination based on how much the competitors pay the taxi service. Yeah, that taxi service will be used a lot./sarc Search engines are in the unique position that the service they provide almost entirely overlaps with advertising. If I search for computer parts from Newegg and Google results results from Amazon, either I'm going to stop using them or there is a damned good reason they returned Amazon results.
Get involved with helping under-funded important opensource project, like NTP, OpenSSH, and getting hardware into the hands of reputable open source programmers for better support.
GPU "cores" are quite different than CPU cores. I don't want them to be like CPU cores, I want GPUs to be dumb number-crunching vector-manipulating computing units.
Never retire? Where do you think your first job came from?
You seem to assume there is a fixed number of jobs that never changes. Do you really think there were billions of jobs billions of years ago? Or maybe you think there will only be billions of jobs billions of years from now.
We should stop treating graphics as something special. We just need a compute unit that can just so happen to convert buffers into a signal a monitor can understand.
Hey now, a single photon could really be two photons and two photons could really be 4 photons and... 1.1579208923731619542357098500869e+77 photons could really be 2.3158417847463239084714197001738e+77 photons. The double slip experiment should be outlawed because if you loops the experiment back in on itself, it may destroy the Universe by spawning an infinite number of photons..
Don't worry, all of that global warming is making for colder winters which dries the air and we get less snow and what snow does drop tends to be light and dry, so it blows itself off. In my childhood, my parent's childhood, and my grandparents childhoods, we all had several feet of packy snow every winter, but the past decade has been only a few inches of this wispy crap that can't even cover the grass. Every year we seem to get less snow, but lots of rain during the summer. But damn, seem like every few years we break another record for high temps.
I can immediately see the mach banding if I'm about 1.5' away, but if I sit back in my chair, about 2.5' away, I don't see it at all for the first few seconds, but it can be see after a few seconds. I do have a cheap $130 LED LCD 2ms gaming monitor. Very power efficient though, 23 watts.
The FDA thinks disease means "Health related condition". Damn near everything is a disease in their eyes, Kind of a useless word except in their usages.
If you use a ZFS mount to mount a volume under a volume, and you snapshot the parent volume, you get the child volume snapshotted atomically. All datasets in ZFS share the same uberblock, so they can all be in perfect sync.
The scaling of productivity to the number people on the team can be very strange. going from one person to two can over double output, doubling yet again may be slightly less than double the output, yet another doubling may be more around 50% increase, doubling yet again may be more like 25%, and doubling yet again may have negative performance gains.
Measuring productivity is situation sensitive where everyone is in a different situation and the number of situations are infinite and can vary wildly between any two people. You also have the whole issue of "quality" where increased quality can reduce the current situation's productivity for an overall increase of productivity in the future.
Other than breaking conservation of energy and cause and effect, yeah, all peachy. We may not know anything 100%, but all science ever has been based on these premises and we have no reason to think otherwise.
Information is irretrievably lost
Advantage: Seems to be a direct consequence of relatively non-controversial calculation based on semiclassical gravity.
Disadvantage: Violates unitarity, as well as energy conservation or causality.

The only thing that can remotely attempt to "compete" is Point-To-Point parabolic dishes or some crazy awesome advancement of MIMO.
I assume gravity existed in the past. I have no way to prove it.
I like pseudocode, my favorite language. I wish more people used it, very useful.

In Netflix' SuperHD, 700MiB is only about 11.66 minutes.

dtrace and a flame-graph is incredibly useful. I can't wait for Linux to be able to do the same.
I also think it's stupid the way DRM is being handled, but damn, it may be time to move for some of those people.

It's only a choice if you have other options. Not working is not an option for most.

Would be nice to compare it against PNG, but the context is if you're storing other people's data and you have no control of what format they use.
Restless legs are a symptom of the very real neurological disease that causes restless legs
Wiki: RLS is considered idiopathic or with no known cause

Forgot to mention, 0ms down and 20ms up of bufferbloat on DSLReports with no traffic shaping on my part. Sadly, no. Small ISP.
Society needs to stop being so anti-social with the whole "screw them" mentality. That's a first step to having respectable citizens that care.
