AMD's fault in was keeping the details hidden before releasing Bulldozer. Bulldozer isn't far off the I7s ( at least, not the 1000$ extremes ), but neither were the Phenom IIs. I7s are impressive, but most is hype and post purchase rationalization.
The problem came when AMD fans started spouting how the Bulldozer chips would stomp on I7s, and AMD didn't stop them.
Also, why did you choose examples of GPU intensive tasks ( those that typically aren't performed on the CPU ) to make the case for keeping around consumer grade, high performance x86 CPUs?
You have that a bit sideways. Cheney was a warhawk and big elephant politician that later became the CEO of Halliburton, and later still became VP. It is misleading to leave out the other bit.
There might have been some dirty dealings with Halliburton, but the Iraq War was far from a corporate conspiracy.
Sure, this would be great if programs required no math, were short, single threaded, didn't require complex algorithms, and didn't require interfacing to other things... but that isn't how programming works in the real world. If your design can be done by someone with the education levels or mental faculties of a welder, it can be done by outsourced talent more cheaply anyways.
What we need is more specialized, difficult, and deep CS programs, not programs that people can sleep through and come out of with little technical knowledge beyond Java application development.
Well, typically satellite images come from satellites, not planes. There are plenty of satellites that take pictures of arbitrary things, which is how Google Earth came into being.
It is a shame they aren't better quality. It would be nice to crowd-source the hunt for bigfoot.
Need data from 2011 and 2012 as well to dispute GPs claim. Also, try to stay away from pop media and blogs (your source was both) as both have agendas and cherry pick numbers. One should be able to find crime statistics from the U.K. gov't.
Maybe one day, but a boat is much easier to build and send to another planet than a submersible is. All a boat requires is a film and lighter-than-hydrocarbon gas, while a submersible requires pressure/liquid proofing, some ability to maintain neutral buoyancy, and some way to transmit information back through a medium thicker than the atmosphere.
Actually, it is pretty easy. Any spacecraft gives off heat, and infrared radiation is easy to spot in clumps, compared to celestial bodies that aren't planets or stars.
The summary should have posted the raw number instead. Increasing by 361% doesn't really mean much. 100 to 461 isn't impressive, compared to, say, 100000 to 461000.
Quality, you mean. American cars, in general, are exceptionally reliable. They might be cheap and have plastics that rot in the sun, but by god they will get you places, thanks to simple, big, low compression engines. European cars are notoriously unreliable(special marks for Peugeot), but the finish is much better.
Neither are in the same league as Toyota in quality (precision, quality, and reliability), but to say that American cars in general are unreliable is a stretch.
Rapidly shrinking in comparison to standstill, sure, but what does that matter in comparison to a technology lightyears away? We are still 15-30 years away from being able to model the synapses, maybe 50 from the full brain. And even then, without supercomputing, it would be drawing on the GW scale.
Our brains are the product of many millions of years of design improvements, as the less efficient the brain is, in power or power usage, the smaller the chances of survival. I doubt we will ever reach brain efficiency on silicon.
Typical of the DHS. A bureau of people who don't know what they are doing, and doing it loudly and expensively. DHs is constantly fighting with DoD and NSA for control of the cybersecurity initiatives, from the only people in gov't who know anything about or have experience in that area. And when they didn't get what they wanted, they decided to make redundant and less efficient/useful groups than the DoD.
DHS is analogous to a two year old. "I don't wanna share! Mommy but I want a new toy! My daddy can beat up your daddy!" And the rest of gov't has to put up with it.
CS typically covers algorithms and high level languages, things useful in entry level programming and application development (Java, "thinking outside the box"). ECE typically covers a larger number of more varied languages, signal analysis, parallelization with hardware, realtime systems, embedded programming (ISRs, VRAM on low clock processors), etc. Things that would be more specialized, much of the algorithm and OOP content that C.S. delves in to.
In comparison, C.S. is very broad and shallow( OP's entry level) while ECE is deep and narrow (OP's advanced). Also, in the engineering school I was at, CS covered O.S. as their capstone, and was an elective for ECE, but an outlier compared to the other electives like Mechatronics and programming for networks.
I would say whenever the system is operating faster than humans can understand or react. The way it is now, HFT is just a layer to siphon off money from people who do not have their own system.
A 5 minute hold on a purchased stock, either before delivery or before another transaction with it, would fix the HFT problem.
Though, if you listen to the people making money off HFT, there is no problem, and HFT benefits everyone through "increased liquidity". The problem is, the HFT system is flipping stocks on the ms scale, causing stocks to be less volatile (stagnant), and not really filling large time gaps of supply or demand that would cause liquidity issues.
No, that would be a straw man. Misguided because most ethanol sources in the U.S. are from subsidized corn, which requires huge amounts of fossil fuels to produce for little fuel compared to sugarcane/beats
Storage is something both costly and tangible. Social media is not. There is nothing nherent to Facebook that keeps users there. Popularity and convenience are the two draws, but like with Myspace, it is easy for a competitor to appear and fill the void with a free service. And the chances of people paying to have no ads is lower (due to noscript/adblock/etc) than it is with phone apps, which are already an order of magnitude less popular than free versions.
Lose your customer base or have the pay service revenue consumed by tech support/payment problems/fraud. If there was an easy way to monetize Facebook, they would have already done it before the IPO. They are the smartest guys in the room, not you.
At the same time, we have massive bee die-offs because of the GMO crops and nerve agent pesticides provided by Monsanto, that allow us to be so productive. Frankly, I'd rather replace corn farmland(which is heavily subsidized for the production of high fructose corn syrup), than risk sharing health effects of other animals impacted by BigAgro's products.
Because water doesn't run down arms when you dip them into a muddy red river? If you look at the other pictures, the water is very cloudy, almost like tomato sauce. If you were to let tomato sauce drip down your arm, surely it to would have red streaks?

I think if slashdot taught us anything, it is that websites operate in dog years.

And it's a feature that would keep the game selling and relevant. Plenty of games do it. Look at GT5.

I don't recall a time when talking to other people in line was the thing to do. Most people either daydreamed or tuned out everyone else.
That is because they obtained patent licenses for Jobs's Reality Distortion field.

Or... as the previous attempts at rewiring the brain did.... lobotomies.

I would consider the third option to be unflattering. Remember, it is popularity based, so "Mitt Romney sucks cock in hell" probably won't be there.
This is the beginning...
Fortunately, this isn't a virus easy to pass between humans. Unfortunately, it is one of the contagions in our biological weapon program.
