There's more than that. There are no 100 ISK notes in Iceland anymore. It was changed to coins a long time ago. Perhaps the virus found a way to print the old notes again?
The question was about disk io, not cpu or ram.
Anyway, some of us develop server software that should run on these nuclear-powered, warp-10, FTL machines - if only reality were that rosy. And no, at my workplace we only have mediocre dual-cores with 2-4GB RAM.
The Monte Carlo method was what I thought of when RTFS. In the wikipedia article there's for example a neat way to calculate pi with whatever precision you want. And as a little anecdote, I used this method once for a board game in a school project. It beat the hell out of some minimax variants.
In contrast a skilled unarmed martial artist will find it harder to fight off many unarmed people at once (some poor bastard may have to be the shield, but too bad).
End users come with very varying abilities. And the problems that need to be solved are very varying as well. I totally agree with you that end users shouldn't meddle with routing issues and similar. That does not mean that the GP can't have a valid point as well.
I think that genius density isn't necessarily increasing, but rather the visibility of genius. I'd say that education has become much better and more widespread in the last 100-200 years, and thus your modern day genius has a much better chance of both getting a good background for his/her genre, as well as an opportunity to get the genius products out. History must be full of local geniuses that the rest of the world never heard of.

If you deliver an app that doesn't work, then you're just incompetent. Doesn't matter what name the programming language has.
I just had primordial soup for lunch.
That's what she said.
Horrendous overuse of StringBuilders is probably the most common example of this
If you have a more efficient way to concat large strings of unknown length, I'd like to hear about it.
Apologies to xkcd
Based on your username, I am sure this is just wishful thinking.
Still not everyone agrees, see here

With twelfty sub-pages in the store, and twelfty links on each, what more do you need?

Thank you for taking me seriously. Never saw that coming.

Not true, just watch any Jackie Chan movie!
Iraq: Lots of oil
North Korea: It's difficult to find a poorer country on earth
I bet the researchers were at least semi-conscious while doing their experiments. Coincidence?
One bunch of retards fighting another because "God told them to."
I think "God" is often framed when people say this, no voice-hearing necessary to explain that.
Code is code. It isn't like it has feelings.
That hurts. What do you think half of us posters here are, you insensitive clod?

Reykjavik University in Iceland here, any course with a foreign student enlisted is taught in english.
What can stop them?
Competition, one would hope.
Damn you! Is there a sequel?
What plugins is he talking about?
ActiveX FTW!
Tightly bound indeed. I've been postponing the inevitable reboot all day long (GMT here). It's ridiculous to need a reboot just for a browser update.

To use a car analogy, do you think that a fly sitting on your car's antenna will drastically alter your fuel consumption?
