    They see both current parties as out of touch and not fighting for their needs.

    What people need to keep in mind is that while we are in fact a two party system, it was not always these two parties.

    When you vote for the lesser of two evils, you are still supporting evil. All a 3rd party needs is a little momentum and it will steamroll over and replace one of these two jokes.

    When I was still running XP and microsoft was pushing Vista and beta'ing Win7, I had noticed that I was getting screen artifacts where a part of program windows (menu bar frequently) sometimes wouldnt update right. This was a new issue and it clearly had something to do with changes to the OS because it was suddely happening in many programs.

    When I upgrades to windows 7 this problem went away completely.

    Fast forward to today, I am now noticing the same problem, but this time with Windows 7.

    This observation isnt proof of wrongdoing on Microsoft part, but I dont need proof to assume wrongdoing.

    Your post is jaw-droppingly ignorant.

    Just about every computer scientist is unaffiliated with any institution that pays the extortion for access to these papers, covering a wide range of topics such as artificial intelligence, data compression, image processing, graph theory, statistical analysis, ....

    Your seem to be amazed that I might want to see the 1977 Frei and Chen paper on a complete set of basic functions for both line and edge detection in images. You seem to think that I would be satisfied with the commonly used but inferior Sobel or Prewit operators which dont distinguish between lines and edges and so forth.

    There is a reason that almost nobody uses the Frei and Chen's masks even though its superior.. and it has everything to do with access.

    They don't really compete with TSMC in a substantial way though.

    When AMD can buy time on TSMC's 10nm fab while Intel can't buy time on anyones fabs... you are obviously just an ignorant person that doesnt understand the business.

    It is technically possible for Intel to buy time on another manufacturers fabs, but it would be suicide for that company as they will lose their Pure-play or IDM status.

    Haswell i5s should be under $200 by now. What's the hold-up?

    They havent actually gotten good yields from either of their last 2 shrinks and the next shrink isnt scheduled until the end of 2017. Meanwhile TSMC opens up a 10nm fab this year.

    Intel is now as fragile as Motorola was.

  17. As for economics, laying of 12,000 people really sucks when its so easy to low ball the next graduating class and quietly hire others, as needed.

    Thats not what Intel is doing. They are laying off people because their own forecasts are grim. They lost the lead in fab process, and by the time they finally get a 10nm fab up and running they will only be catching up to the two other semiconductor manufacturers than have already had 10nm fabs running off chips for a year.

    If you have Intel stock, its time to sell.

  18. Re:Not really news on Intel Declares Independence From PC, Prioritizes Cloud, IoT and 5G Efforts · · Score: 1

    The elephant in the room is that this is the year that intel falls behind in semiconductor process technology.

    Intel has been enjoying a comfortable lead, but this year TSMC opens up a 10nm fab. Intel recently disclosed that they wont be able to open up a 10nm fab until at least the end of NEXT year.

    Dont believe their press-release bullshit hype. Intel forecasts big trouble for itself from here on out, because they just dont have the lead in technology anymore.

    Things would be different if Intel was running a Pure-play or IDM business model, but because they arent there is no way that they will be able to keep their fabs busy when Pure-Play and IDM fabs have the same or better process technologies. On top of all this, Intel had locked in lower yields than everyone else in their rush to be first to a 14nm fab.

    If you have Intel stock, its time to sell.

    Your definition of information appears to be lacking.

    That facebook propaganda picture with the divisive text in it and around it.. isnt informational.

    The problem continues to be a government with too much power, being run be people that arent good people. Nobody would throw money at the people in government for the purpose of influence if the people in the government werent influential.

    We need governments whose powers extends only so far as to protect the people from other people. Absolutely no further. No protection of industries. No social engineering. No grand plans. No big ideas. No social contracts. The introduction of a new federal law is supposed to be a big and rare deal, but instead many laws are passed every year and pretty much nobody even knows anything about any of them.

    The founding fathers had it right. Then we let it get fucked up in the name of social engineering and so forth.

  24. And then you'll get bored and start a business or work. I know many retired people that can't just 'sit around'. If you are a motivated person that doesn't go away.

    Thats because retired people so far are, in point of fact, mostly motivated people. Not only didnt they get these sorts of handouts and still made something of themselves, they had no chance of getting them because the population as a whole didnt think handouts should be "normal."

    Social Security had to be sold to the population as "insurance."

    Wait until the post-war end of the baby boomers start hitting retirement. They think differently because in their world there have always been handouts of one kind or another that they have been told they have a "right" to.

    The baby boomer generation raided that social security trust fund and spent all the money. Now that they are retiring, the have no intention of paying back what they owe to the trust. Instead they expect others to pay into it like they did, just to cover what the boomers demand from it, without the advantage of being able to borrow it all and screwing the next generation like the boomers did.

    To quote the late George Carlin, "I only hope that when the Generation Xers are finally running things, they’ll have the courage to kill all these baby boomers, one by one, in their hospital beds and their nursing homes. Kill them and loot their pensions and estates, and throw them out into the streets with nothing. If they don’t, the boomers will take everything they can and keep it for themselves. "
