Notice that no computers where involved in the proof — this is classical mathematical proof involving logical deductions rather than exhaustive search.
Exhaustive search for a result that holds for every integer? Good luck with that one.
Everyone knows integers only go from 0 to 4294967295!
Correct. Negative numbers are not prime. 1 is not prime (though it never fucking matters since it's always the trivial/base case when you're doing anything useful).

Luckily we're getting both. I just purchased a video card that's twice as powerful as my current one, and only uses 2/3 the power. I'm upgrading from a CPU using up to 130W to just 77W, but still gaining 20-25% performance.
Those are some good jumps in performance, but great leaps in efficiency. Total power consumption is a big factor moving forward in trying to reduce what we need from the grid.
Because poor people need an xbox NOW, and can't wait a couple of months, right? This isn't food, of a roof over their heads, it a video game console!
Which actually is something the poor need far more than the rich.
Seriously, I earn a decent living. As a result, I like to spend my weekends skydiving, and my vacations renting a house for a week at the mountains. I remember when I didn't have any money (relatively speaking, I know there are truly poor people out there who don't have a roof over their heads), and spending time glued to my TV playing video games was a reasonably cheap form of entertainment.
Entertainment is a human necessity. Food and a roof over your head keeps you physically healthy, entertainment keeps you mentally healthy.
Fuck you, Wifi. I didn't buy a 300 Mbps router and 300 Mbps receiver to transfer files at 2 MB/sec despite having line of sight and great reception.
Start advertising real-world speeds instead of peak, theoretical speeds (including overhead), in the vacuum of space, with 0 interference. Then make sure those speeds deal with communication between 2 wireless clients connected to one AP. If we only had one client we'd use wires and put the fucking modem/router next to the single fucking client!
The claim that a 10-bit file is better even if the source is 8-bit is bullshit. My counterclaim is that the processing being 10-bit helps, but the final file does not need to be 10-bit to retain this benefit. My evidence is the same paper people wrongly point to when they claim that a 10-bit file is better, and that professional encoders know this and work at higher precision than they output.
From the article "The Microsoft Research team is reporting a 90-100% accuracy rate for SoundWave, even in noisy environments."
Now, let's turn on a room fan, or have the HVAC system start blowing the air around...
Plus, as I said earlier, 18-22 KHz is definitely audible for the vast majority of the young gamers they are targeting, so I declare this an EPIC fail...
I ain't no spring chicken, but I can hear that shit. The most annoying sound in the world wasn't featured in Dumb & Dumber, it's a dozen disposable cameras with fully-charged flash capacitors. Thankfully, people rarely use disposable cameras today.
It is quite funny to notice the hypocrisy of general human population. They love their cats and dogs, will go out of their way to help an animal who is in distress, but will not pause to think for a moment before ordering their next chicken wings, beef/pork hamburgers or lamb chops. These animals undergo a lot of suffering including their throats slit, being burned/cooked alive before they are ready to be served up as food. In my point of view, there is no problem in killing your game and eating its meat as our ancestors used to do. But raising cattle just for the purpose of food, keeping them in horrifying condition and then killing them in even more horrifying ways is morally repugnant. The modern meat industry allows a general sensitive, virtuous person to be insulated from all this torture and indirectly make him/her responsible for all this.
We can't feed everyone without raising animals for slaughter. I'm all for fewer people and better conditions for livestock, but if you think a soy burger is any better, you're retarded. The negative impact caused by growing and harvesting that soy, and then processing and fortifying it so you can live off of it, is as high or higher than that of the beef industry. The crops worse are corn and tobacco.
Yes, I linked to a paper that disagrees with what I'm saying. It's the same paper everyone quotes as gospel when they state that 10-bit formats are better than 8-bit formats regardless of the source material. And it's wrong.
It's the 10-bit processing that helps, you don't have to store the final output as 10-bit, you can store it as 8-bit. Doing so is completely unnecessary and only makes it more complicated and less compatible for the various decoders out there.
I know the paper doesn't say a word about that. And that's where it's wrong.
It's not the colour space that is enhanced, but picture precision.
In general, going from high profile to hi10p (high profile 10 bit precision) allows you to compress a bit more while getting the same quality. Anime folks like it because it lets then shave around 10-20% of their not-so-small 720p and 1080p filesizes. Problem is that decoding hi10p takes more calculating power and there's not hardware decoding support for hi10p worth talking about while the typically used high profile (which uses 8 bit precision) is supported pretty much everywhere.
It absolutely does not let you compress more with the same quality. If you have an output range of 10 bits and a source with a range of 8 bits, you're only ever going get 8 bits worth of useful information out at the end.
The only places using 10 bits (over 8) matters are: When your source has a range > 8 bits. During the quantization (or filtering) process to prevent the buildup of rounding/sampling errors.
The final output only ever needs a range equal to that of the source. Anything more is useless. If your final output is using 10 bit precision for an 8 bit source it just means you can quantize the same number of times and get a larger file with the same quality (perhaps imperceptibly better quality due to the lack of rounding errors, IF the user has a 10 bit display and path). Or you can quantize more and get the same file size at the same quality. Either way you get a huge bump in complexity for encoding and decoding.
Anime folks like it because they like to use the most complicated crap possible. Anime is ridiculously conducive to compression (once you properly deinterlace and IVTC it, have fun with that). You can get away with relatively low bitrates for anime. The same goes for most pure CG movies like your Kung Fu Pandas and your Toy Storys.
You can read the (shitty) explanation here: http://x264.nl/x264/10bit_02-ateme-why_does_10bit_save_bandwidth.pdf It's 10 bit processing that is better, not 10 bit storage. It's the same reason TVs, projectors, etc. have advertised 10 bit, 11 bit, etc. processing filters. You absolutely do NOT need to output to a 10 bit file at the end.
x264 should offer 10 bit processing along with a final 10 bit to 8 bit scaling step. You'd get the benefit of not having the errors build up during compression, and you'd have all of the compatibility for hardware decoding. Professional encoders do exactly this.
I didn't mean color space as in Y'CbCr, I meant potential color range. I avoided the word depth because I wanted to distinguish between the depth of the original source (8bpc) and the possible depth of the final stream (10bpc) and the precision of the compression operations.
I've seen it choke before on high-definition video and iirc they only added Hi10p playback recently. WMP with K-lite codec pack does not ever choke, and Smplayer is the best way to go on Linux. VLC is probably good enough for most people, but it has its technical flaws.
VLC is nasty. MPC-HD is best. Also, K-Lite is trash, CCCP is what you need.
And 10-bit encoding for 8-bit sources is fucking pointless. Higher than 8-bit precision while doing the compression is useful, but outputting to a more granular color space at the end is fucking pointless.
First rule of any tech repair, 'authorized' or not:
1. Always have a method to account for every screw and part removed!
I'm not authorized to service my own laptops, one of them has been disassembled literally dozens of times, and yet this scenario is very unlikely to happen to me. I have sets of interlocking parts compartments that I have labelled specifically for teardowns of each laptop; the screws are grouped by progressive steps or layers of the teardown, and further by size in some instances. This is critical even for someone performing the same teardown every day, as no one is perfect, but it's especially critical for those first or one-time teardowns.
This screw got misplaced not because the guy was 'unauthorized' but rather because he was careless and foolish. Just because a person is indeed authorized (or degreed) is no exemption from carelessness and foolishness.
Little plastic compartments? In my day we used an egg carton.
91 million watched the super bowl. The largest NASCAR race gets about 18 million. There are far more foot ball players then NASCAR driver.
That said, it's irrelevant because the vast amount of NASCAR fans also watch football, the reverse is not true,.
Under what possible measurement is NASCAR more popular them American football.
Attendees, viewers, merchandise moneys, etc. etc. Comparing the Super Bowl to a random NASCAR race is retarded - there is no ultimate championship event in NASCAR like there is in football.
FYI I hate NASCAR AND football, so try not to be so defensive.
We've had 'rules' like this in Ontario (at least my school board) since I joined high school. You have to wait until you leave the school to friend your teachers. They explain it as affecting the teachers opinion on a student (Or the other way around). At are school Facebook is unblocked and we have facebook groups for classes, but teachers make different accounts for those things.
Shitting in the teacher's coffee and turning in your homework on time both affect the teacher's opinion of a student. I should be allowed to do both or neither.

Are you seriously claiming that science deals with proof and not evidence? Wow, you deniers sure are ignorant about science.

You fail, denier.
Your claim about climate models is also a massive failure, and only exposes your ignorance.
