The 360 is PowerPC for the same reasons the Wii is PowerPC and the PS3 is essentially PowerPC, and why it is used on the NASA rovers. For the pricepoint and use (not doing general computing), PowerPC is the most powerful instruction set out there. Far more so than x86-64.
Exactly! That's why I keep my son locked in a cage, except when he has to go potty. God forbid he ever leaves my sight, as he might buy nuclear arms behind my back... or worse... download some old music illegally!
That doesn't say whether they tested to the breaking point or to 0.001% of its lifespan. 1 million contractions is a small amount for many muscles. About 12 days for the heart.
Chemistry isn't the problem. Realize, muscles evolved to be not as powerful as they could be for efficiency reasons. It won't help to have people that have superdense muscles, but have to consume huge amounts of calories to feed them. Even if you use tiny amounts of the material.
It's not like our police force has the resources to enforce this. The worst that might happen is your picture is taken down for terms of use violations.
These dogs, most German Shepherds, are effectively weapons being brandished around one's property. Doesn't Florida have applicable Stand Your Ground or Homestead laws for this sort of thing?
Doubtful it is possible, otherwise we likely would have evolved with it. Instead, we got the Immune System, which is highly effective at adapting and eliminating many forms of diseases... but isn't 100% effective.
Depends on the area. Here in N. Va, 3000 sq feet is a small house, smaller than the smallest you can buy in some areas. A moderate is around 4500 sq feet, and a big house is over 7000sq feet.
Of course you can. All IQ tests are essentially different cognitive games you must play and do well on. Unfortunately, the rules for each aren't given to you, so you must figure them out on your own. There are a finite set of these games used in tests, so if you take the effort to learn or figure out the rules ahead of time, you can absolutely affect your score, by dozens of points.
And? They have to regularly readjust the raw scores upwards to keep the score required to be average at 100. If they didn't, the previous years' raw scores for 100 would shift the curve so that most people get a score of 101 or more.
Realize that there is a time component to the scores as well, as averages cannot be found for a single, instantaneous point in time. Because of this, people taking IQ tests furthest forward in time for a time range that the raw scores are calculated for will, in fact, tend to have higher IQ scores.
Chicken before the egg, as with many things. It is expensive to produce because not much is made, there is low demand because it is expensive to produce. The CEO seemed to lack vision, and never made the leap to find uses for it and reduce cost.
You are cherry picking numbers, we already know the single threaded performance isn't as strong as the multithreaded performance (where it matters, for many). Also, TDP is a measure of worst case power usage, not average case as the GP describes.
The Chinese might support Obama, but they love Romney buttsechs long time because of all the American jobs Romney outsourced to there. And no, Amenijad does not support Obama after he broke the Iranian backyard science experiments. The others? Who cares?
You are off your rocker if you think ANYONE should have nukes, let alone a nation led by batshit crazy leader. And yes, Israel doesn't like Iran, but they didn't pick Iran out of the blue. Iran has been spouting off that they want to wipe Israel off the face of the earth for just as long.
Really though, unlike with Intel or Microsoft, I've never felt like I have been wronged by Google, which is probably why my knee jerk reaction is that this is just another extortion racket and an organization hired to cause a stir.
There isn't much of a difference in other countries either. China, North Korea, and the USSR were (are) primarily athiest, mostly because the emotions in religion were redirected towards nationalism.
Iran did the opposite, but the effect is the same. In those countries, either religion worshipping the government, or government worshipping religion runs your life, and you don't get to pick which.

Yea, which is why it never outsold the other consoles, or remains the most popular of the three.
Reality is, there are many great titles for the Wii, just none worth mentioning for COD fans.

As opposed to generating that kind of social friction towards Microsoft for making that mistake? It's not like it was the mod communities' fault.
My storm story is well documented in Henny Penny, with the public as the role of Chicken Little. The one without a happy ending.

I don't know if I would call them quality.... they were cheap in design, feature, and materials, but were more durable than other cheap peripherals.

I wonder if these tech blog/articles would stop posting crap like this if M$ paid them in Windows 8 copies instead of cash.

What's stopping them from extorting people by blanketing these notices and collecting $$$ for "reviews"?
Can I sue them for defamation instead?

Or the opportunity cost when his kid mixes bleach and ammonia because he doesn't have the background to know better.
I'm not a chemist but having taken chemistry has saved my ass with DIY more than once.
That is what happens when you take with one hand and flip everyone the bird with the other.
One of those Karma things.
