You can order a truck load of off the shelf cards and have them at your bunker tomorrow.
It doesnt work like that.
If you want tens of thousands of video cards, you are going to have to make a deal with a manufacturer.. contracts are involved.. delivery dates of more than a few months will apply..
This is exactly what the big distributors do. First they hunt down a lot of small contracts (retail outlets that want anywhere from dozens to a thousand), so that they can make a large multi-thousand unit contract deal with a manufacturer.
There is no way in hell that you could have a truck load of video cards delivered to your door tomorrow. Now stop being a naive dipshit that doesnt know how business works.
Please show me one source, one form where she consented to have tissue samples harvested from her for medical research.
Why are you moving the goal post?
She went to that hospital because she had cancer. During her treatment they cut out some of her cancer. She did this all willingly. Nobody stole her cells without permission.
So the argument goes right back to if those cells, after her willingly let them extract them, are her property or not
This is why your scenario of going to someones house and taking their cells against their will is different. This is why your made up scenario does not fit the real scenario. She had cancer. They removed some of it. She did not say "please don't cut out the cancer".. she said "please try to cut out all the cancer"
So I can come right over and extract tissue samples without your consent?
Are you suggesting that thats what they did in this case?
Since it isn't, nothing you say that relies on this tripe bullshit actually matters. They did not kidnap this woman, strap her down, and forcefully extract her blood without consent.
She consented. Nobody at all seems to think otherwise 'cept for you.
I say that they are not one and the same. I say no.
No means no. If your force it on me, thats called rape. Get it through your heads that you are raping Americans that don't want to take part in your unconstitutional experiment in forced commerce. No means no. Its called rape. Fuck off.
Not true, its more than that. The linear dimensions are 1000x smaller, so the area is 1000*1000 times smaller, thus the area difference is a factor of 1 million.
10nm is a measure of length, not area.. so his statement about 1000 is correct (the opposite of "not true")
Then, he performs the area calculation and specifically mentions that 1 million transistors fitting in the same area (you even quoted it.)
I wish you were worthless, instead of worth less than worthless.
Well I also dont think that the bondholders are victims.
The victims are the Detroit tax payers that were not of age to vote when those pension deals were struck. The city council and the unions were both complicit in depriving these tax payers of their right of representation, basically attempting to turn them into slaves for retired people.
This is in sharp contrast to the "new" (really asset swapped) money from QE, which is "real" government money which can't simply disappear the way private credit can.
Tell this to the people with savings. Tell them how the FED creating $80+ billion per month doesnt make the value of their savings disappear.
Of all the people who wasted and squandered the money of thousands, if not millions
The closest thing to a currency loss and "squandering" was when the FED started rapidly printing money well beyond what the GDP growth indicated was needed.
he Detroit pensions (though not the health care), were supposedly funded. But one of the ways they did that was by borrowing money from bondholders.
Yes, but the extent to which this is true cannot be understated. The last round of borrowing to make up delinquent pension contributions was a whopping $1.4 billion, a significant percentage of the entire pension liability.
When you examine the history of it, you see that earlier (in 1991) the unions had to go to court to force Detroit to deposit any money at all into the pension funds.
It is simply not rational to claim that the public unions of Detroit are victims here. The shit was already hitting the fan over 20 years ago.
The point of insurance is to cover potential expenses that you cannot cover yourself by joining a risk sharing pool.
Tell that to health insurance in America.
The kind of insurance that you are talking about (classic catastrophic coverage) isnt enough to avoid new federal fines for not being insured enough. You must "share the risk" of things like yearly checkups, too.
Fox News demonstrably has a conservative bias and they "interpret" facts (when they aren't just making shit up) accordingly.
You dont actually seem to be saying anything. If you had a valid argument you would be showing that CNN and MSNBC werent biased.
We both know that you cannot do that.
So what are you doing here? You are showing us your own bias. You don't seem to mind at all that CNN and MSNBC are biased because apparently its the right kind of bias in your book.
Thanks for being exactly what you accuse your "enemies" of.
Do you want to bet that you'll get less screwed by a data intrusion than by the insurance company? Go for it!
That is in effect the essential idea of insurance. Its a wager. Clearly it only works if more money gets taken from "losers" than gets paid to "winners."
Fox just gives the appearance of objectivity. The host picks the topics, not the liberal counter-point guy, and the topics tend to be those that make Democrats look bad such that the counter point person is always on the defensive.
Oh come on...
FOX, CNN, and MSNBC all cover the exact same topics.
This idea that FOX cherry picks topics that make liberals look bad is ludicrous given that fact. The only difference between the big 3 cable news stations is the panel selections and thusly the opinions expressed.
You really dont seem to get that this is theater that we are looking at. The exact same topics covered by all three.
I don't envy fools, but I do wish we'd move beyond victim blaming
Making stupid decisions doesnt make you a victim, even if you are a member of an entire class represented by a poor decision making entity.
The Boston Newspaper Guild represented most of the workers of the Boston Globe.
I also do not consider the Detroit public workers who will not be getting a big chunk of their pensions as victims. The victims were clearly the citizens of Detroit that weren't even of voting age when those pension deals were struck, yet are now on the hook for them even though they weren't represented.
People have to start taking some responsibility for their own shit. The entire idea of "blaming the victim" is flawed here because it assumes that there is one. There isn't one. Bad outcomes don't always create victims. Sometimes a bad outcome is just a bad outcome.

Graphics cards are cheaper.
Since when did the government care about cost?
Please show me one source, one form where she consented to have tissue samples harvested from her for medical research.

.. she said "please try to cut out all the cancer"

You can't vote them out.
People in cages (or dead) can't vote either.
How may traffic accidents are caused by these?
The number has got to be non-zero.
Not only that, but the entire system itself is so inherently flawed it amounts to little more than “crime-control theater.”
How is it not worse?
My ISP doesnt have an army of men with guns, nor cages to lock me in.
After all, the physical order of the circuit traces related to a register need not relate to the logical order of the bytes way off in main memory.
Registers. Cute.
No argument about registers matter because registers dont have the concept of endianness attached.
But how much worse is it to have your own ISP doing so?
Its not worse. Its not good, but the idea that its 'worse' than the government doing it is complete bullshit.
I blame little-endian on a sort of backwards compatibility.
Little-endian simplifies CPU circuits that perform multi-word operations. Its really that simple. End of discussion.
Who said that they are not one and the same?
I say that they are not one and the same. I say no.

SO,how about fixing the compression ratio and padding more when compression is more efficient to mask the actual secret?
You seem to be thinking that everything can be compressed.
This is in sharp contrast to the "new" (really asset swapped) money from QE, which is "real" government money which can't simply disappear the way private credit can.

I'm quite certain that Steve Jobs didn't have anything to do with creating the digital music market.
You know who I think did? Shawn Fanning, John Fanning, and Sean Parker.
