Of course if you jack off with your eyes closed it will show anything *except* a Victoria's Secret ad. Probably some shit about five-dollar footlongs or applying directly to the forehead.
Nvidia's CUDA compiler will be able to create code that supports more programming languages and will run on AMD and Intel processors, while previously it ran only on Nvidia's GPUs. The company made the announcement today at the GPU Technology Conference in Beijing.
Continuing to call it a CUDA compiler is a bit misleading then isn't it?
Doesn't this open source compiler still compile code that requires an Nvidia-proprietary hardware technology? Anyone who wants to run on non-Nvidia GPUs should just use OpenCL.
Possibly, they should run an experiment where some people are asked a really simple and well-introduced question by someone who walks up to them in the first room ("Hi, I'm Jim, and I'm just going to ask you a simple question, what color is grass?"), and then others are asked the question immediately by the person who is standing behind the door to the second room ("Opening door...WHOA there's somebody right here!" - "What color is grass?"). If the reaction times are much longer for the second group then it might have something to do with how the question is presented.

Haha, I checked it out and found that it fakes results when you hit the homepage. It showed some British-looking women for the IP of an area with no women like that (the closest IRL version of the "women in Low Earth Orbit!" experiment). Also it allows you to sign in with Facebook credentials. What could possibly go wrong?
I entered the IP of one of my seedboxes which is also a Tor exit node (did the lookup through Tor, using HTTPS to the site, using a secure and anonymous browser). That exit node has Bittorrent blocked and it's on a dynamic IP that changes often. 4 out of the 8 torrents displayed were ones that I'd downloaded, 1 was recent and the other 3 had been on there for a long time. The seedbox has around 500 torrents on it.
It also showed results for the German exit node I was viewing it through.
Oh I thought I should add a note on an...interesting new car, the Nissan GTR.
In addition to being a "tamper-proofed" vehicle that won't allow unauthorized mods, it has a speed limiter set around 180kph that will only unlock if the GPS detects that you're on a Nissan-approved track.
An electronically limited speed? Some of those just don't have the power/gearing to go any faster. There would be no point to artificially limiting the speed so low. Most cars affordable to us mere mortals have a speed limiter set around 180kph, usually either because the stock tires aren't rated to go any faster or because they have terrible aerodynamics and would be very hard to control at higher speeds. When you hit that speed the fuel cuts out, the same way the rev limiter works. A quick ghetto way to work around it was to put a resistor in place of the ECU's speed sensor input, but on some modern cars the ECU relies on the speed input for more than telling it when to engage the speed limiter so it's not so simple, and you need to go for a full ECU system swap to something like a Megasquirt.
I imagine it's only a matter of time until similar licenses start applying to physical items sold to regular consumers. There are already some cars sold under similar terms, like the McLaren F1 and Maybach.
They first downloaded the movie and then were seeding it. The purpose of doing this is to log the IPs of other peers in the swarm. Call peer block lists ineffective but it hasn't harmed my activity, and I block the bogon ranges, and government and corporate ranges.
It's not spyware. Carriers want info on how people use their phones so that they can fix bugs and make better phones. It's no different from software that occasionally reports home with usage statistics.
Well then why did it have the capability to do anything but report basic network usage statistics, like dropped calls and failed SMSes? It was shown in the debugging output that it had much more detailed capabilities (and is logging more detailed information), and now it's been found that on some phones it may be sending that information to the carriers.

It's a status tooltip instead. It pops up in one of the bottom corners, displaying the same info that would have been in the status bar in the past.
No, sorry, it's not going in me if it isn't running Linux already.

I'm not going to lie, his arguments are impossible to counter, just like the Reptilian conspiracy.
No he's just started investing.
No I think you missed the point. No word of it needing your real name at all or transmitting any information.
D'oh, NM, I RTFA'd:

Sounds more like BonziBuddy to me.
Don't forget the pornographic copypasta and racist trolling.

This is your brain on Rand.

Not exactly the same thing:

I have this problem even when I walk to different rooms with no actual doors in between.

Progress!

Could happen though. See: McLaren F1, Maybach, Nissan GTR. You pay full retail price for them but never own them.

Fuck. That. Shit.

I don't recall ever seeing a well advertised spec that the cars on the showroom can't go above X mph.
It's ALWAYS in the brochure's spec sheets somewhere, you just didn't look hard enough.
