Ah, the old "language changes" line. People like you would say "math changes" when you get called out on saying 2+2=5. There's a difference between change and being flat out wrong. Calling people who eat dairy and fish vegetarians is simply wrong. This only started happening in the past few decades, and yuppies and hipsters doing it en masse doesn't make it correct.
There is now ambiguity as to what is meant by the word "vegetarian". You have to consider whether or not the person writing the word knew what it meant, when they wrote it, and if they're a tool bag like you who knows it's wrong but continues to use it incorrectly because they're stubborn clinging to a label. You're as bad as the jackasses who want people to use "kibibyte" or "non-flammable". You create ambiguity and confusion instead of removing it. People suffer for it, as does the language.
The Earth isn't, but people are, and a good many are living in fairly marginal areas, and not just in terms of agriculture. Will humanity die out. Most certainly not. But there will be consequences, and they will ultimately be fair more expensive than if we had tried to curb emissions.
Some people might die? I'm with Goldmember. Too bad for yooooouuuuuuu! Losing a few (billion) people would ultimately be a good thing, not a bad thing.
How about look at the current weather in the north, north central, midwest, and eastern, and southern parts of the U.S.. How much global warming do you see? I see JACK $H!T!
It's climate change now, not global warming, so they can never be wrong. When it's hot or there's a drought they blame you and Al Gore takes your money. When it's cold or there's a storm they blame you and Al Gore takes your money. When it's nice and the weather is calm they say it's thanks to their continued efforts.
"Continued efforts" means Al Gore continues to take your money.
You say the big advance is in power, then mention the 290X, which has a single precision GLOPS/W figure of 19.4, between the new GTX750's 19.0 and the GTX750TI's 21.8
The 290X has a double precision GFLOPS/W of 2.6, the GTX750TI gets 0.68. Compared to the 65W TDP Radeon 250's double precision performance of 0.74, its a loser.
This is just hype and selective benchmarks for a new architecture that was supposed to be 20nm. They couldn't get it built on 20nm so they've had to stick with 28. If it was 20nm, it probably would be better all round.
You can't compare the flagship 290x to the low-end 750, lol.
Beyond that, nVidia doesn't give a shit about double precision compute - never have, never will. Most other people don't, either, even people doing computing on GPUs. nVidia is still very much gamer-focused, despite CUDA still having a huge market advantage over ATI Stream / OpenCL / DirectCompute / AMD APP Acceleration / etc. nVidia's new architecture is promising, and this card's launch is giving us a taste.
Well your wifi network should not have any access to the internal network... period.
What the fuck? My girlfriend has a laptop. We both have phones. Those devices connect to our internal network via Wifi. We need to access the LAN over Wifi. If you want a separate network for your home automation shit, then you've got to have some means of controlling it, so you're inevitably going to end up bridging the two networks at some point.
5-10% better than a cheaper rival card that came out 5 months ago. Go nvidia, go!
I'm no nVidiot, but 5-10% improvement at a substantial power savings in the same price bracket is indeed an impressive feat. This being a brand new architecture means that later cards can also reap these benefits.
AMD and their OEMs are still slowly trotting out 290X cards with decent cooling at inflated prices. The sooner nVidia gets their next architecture out there the sooner we'll see new products / price drops on the AMD side. The sooner that happens, the sooner we see new products / price drops on the nVidia side.
This competition thing has its benefits, you see. Meanwhile, in CPU land we've been stuck for years of Intel charging $BUTT for marginally better (and sometimes worse) shit that, as usual, requires a new mobo+chipset to fully utilize.
Run the program a few times, so the probability of errors in the output is close to zero.
No. If it's indeed a proof the probability of errors must be 0, not just close to it.
He's referring to errors during runtime (electrical noise, bit flips, not enough spiders in the case, etc.), not errors in the logic. If the generator's logic is provably correct, then the things it generates are as well as long as your hardware it working properly. There is no way to rigorously prove hardware works correctly for all input strings, for all time, for all environmental conditions, across all variations due to manufacturing, etc.
did you even read his response? They look for indications that the cheat is in play, THEN they check DNS as verification, and send a HASH of the dns name to their servers for comparison. This means they don't even see the actual dns name on their side, they can just check against known hashes of the sites the DRM used for verification. That is why it is two staged. Simple existence of the names in your DNS cache won't trigger the ban hammer.
You're a tool.
"indications that the cheat is in play" can be anything or nothing
"they check DNS as verification" is bullshit
- what if I got my cheat from a friend? I'd never be banned since the DNS verification step marks me as clear. This is not the case.
- what if I looked up videos of cheats for a game after encountering cheaters in a game to confirm my suspicions? DNS isn't verifying anything, it's circumstantial guilt by association
"send a HASH of the dns name to their servers for comparison" means nothing
- a hash comparison needs a known hash to compare against
- that known hash has to be generated from a plaintext source
"they don't even see the actual dns name on their side" bullshit

If all of them are going to become mainstream, LGBTQ is going to need a whole lot more letters. I think it'd be best if we picked a handful of definitions and allowed for ranges within them. Vegetarianism has done this - sure, there's various names like octo-lacto-vegetarian for different degrees of it, but most of the time getting that specific only matters in the context of certain situations. I have no problem with recognizing different genders, but the more you try to granularize it, the more trouble you're going to run into defining them until every person on Earth uses a slightly different definition.
Vegetarian - doesn't consume animal products. Vegan - doesn't consume or use animal products. Hypocrite - claims to be a vegetarian but eats dairy, or fish, etc. Moron - claims to be vegan but has a leather satchel.
"Vegetarians" who eat dairy or fish are absolutely not vegetarians and would never have called themselves vegetarians a few decades ago. But LA and New York hipster shits decided it was in vogue, then idiots who weren't vegetarians wanted to claim to be one, so they did, and now the word has been ruined.
Wrong. I have been a vegetarian for 34 years (long before the advent of hipsters). My definition is "does not eat anything that takes a shit." Yes, I eat cheese and eggs - you do not kill an animal to get these products (the proper term is lacto-ovo vegetarian, or just plain vegetarian). No, eggs are not animals - they arent' even fertilized in commercial production (and neither are my backyard variety).
Vegans do not eat any animal products, including eggs and cheese. Some do not eat honey (bee-vomit) and some go so far as to wear filters in their noses to prevent breathing in insects (I am not kidding).
And you forgot one label: Asshole - likes to mock vegetarians because of their own guilt over killing animals.
The term originated in the late 1830s and became popular in the mid 1840s, during the whole Ramsgate thing.
It is exactly as I stated it - vegetarians consume no animal flesh or byproduct (such as dairy), vegans neither consume nor utilize (e.g., skins, bones, cat gut stitches, etc.) animal flesh or byproducts in any way.
For someone so passionate about "vegetarianism", you might want to learn what the word means before you go commandeering it.
so you have a dumb phone or are part of the approximately 0.0% of the population that rooted their phone.
I have a very popular smartphone model. Bought with no contract. Not attached to any contract at all. My old carrier has never touched the phone. There was an OTA update available for this model shortly after I got the phone. I had to manually get the update and approve it even when I wanted that update ASAP. I am no longer with that carrier. My new carrier has never touched the phone. Hell, the phone is a model that doesn't work on my new carrier, but I was able to flash the radios to make it happen.
That would be assuming quite a lot on their part... most obviously it would be assuming that absolutely nobody else may be at the same address at the same time who also has a phone capable of calling 911 or streaming video. Reasonably, they would probably have to brick every phone within about a city block of where you are to be absolutely sure.
They'll FLIR your house and see just how many people are in there. But you're making the mistake of assuming they've got the right address to begin with. They'll chainsaw your door down and shoot you and your dog dead before they verify an address.
Riiight. Because you think local cops would come to your aid against the Feds?
Read the post you're replying to.
So you cant call 911 to get local cops when your home is being raided by black SUV driving feds that don't tell the local cops when they are about to bust you? So you when turn on the camera and start live streaming to youtube of the raid and set it down somewhere unlikely to be seen they can kill the stream. That would be my guess.
The local police will get a phone call about a home invasion and won't have any prior knowledge of any action by the federales.

Alright... let's skip the distraction of tying car fires to house fires. Your report states that there were almost 14,000 car fires on residential properties that didn't start the house on fire. Presumably, many additional car fires started in cars parked in places other than peoples' homes. That adds up to tens of thousands of annual car fires that we should be worrying about in addition to this single Tesla. There ought to be dozens of car fire articles per day here on/. so that we can hash out each one.
You posted horse shit and got called out. Just give up. I'm so glad Slashdot doesn't allow editing because it preserves shit like this so we can all know to ignore you in the future.
Car fires aren't a major cause of fires that cause structural fire - home or otherwise. Cars catching fire when parked and the engine is off isn't a common occurrence. It isn't rare in general, but it is extremely rare for a car only a couple of years old. The main causes - leaky fuel lines and corroded battery contacts - are present almost exclusive in old (10+ years) cars that haven't been maintained for shit.
The percentage of Teslas involved in fires far exceeds that of conventional cars of similar age and repair. Get over it.
"In fact, the Toronto fire department says the fire didn't originate in the battery, the charging system, the adapter or electrical receptacle since all of those components weren't touched by the fire"
maybe the fire was cause by something in the garage adjacent to the car?
Looking at the pictures, you see that from all appearances, the car itself wasn't even involved. It simply happened to be there.
The fire department has torn down large amounts of sheet rock, trying to get at the fire, which says they thought it it was in the walls, or the ceiling. This sounds like an electrical fire, or something hot enough to possibly have ignited the studs behind the sheet rock, so they have to tear it down to make sure. The firemen are paying no attention to the car, they are looking as something on the wall or floor in front of the car.
I'm thinking arson or a can of lawn mower gas leaked.
Another instance of there being a fire on the same city block as a Tesla and the press rushing to report it.
You can clearly see that the car was pulled in close to the rear wall of the garage and the majority of the interior of that wall is fucked, as is the ceiling. In the first picture, they've torn down the left side of the wall and are looking for shit (such as fucked wiring), but not finding anything. You can clearly see in all 3 pictures that the interior of the wall is fine - the wood isn't even blackened. The fire did not start within the wall, it started in the garage near the wall. The only thing nearby is the front of the car.
