No, Wikipedia is right... as Section 1.1 of the MIPS R10000 Microprocessor User’s Manual says, "MIPS has defined an instruction set architecture (ISA), implemented in the
following sets of CPU designs: MIPS IV, implemented in the R8000 and R10000"
The point is that if editing documents on the phone is important to you, you'd buy a device that did have a way to output video to a larger screen. (My Android phone can do that, although I have no use for the feature and have never tried it... I bought it because it was cheap--LG Nexus 4)
I've been there many times--was just there two months ago. Of course, people recognize it as a former name of the island, but they don't commonly call it Formosa (or fuermosha, for that matter).
What is the most disturbing part of this story is it seems that box.com doesn't have any major infrastructure for backup of users data. I would have thought that it would be as simple as pressing a button "undelete" for the box.com support people to restore last available data before deletion.
Well, maybe they do. As the Fine Article says, he did get his data back. It just took them a while to figure out the chain of events that caused it to disappear in the first place.
Yes, please, lets mention them. Or wait, we can't because they haven't been stopped. Anyone who had difficulty one day, has been able to get through later that day or the next day at worst. Remind me again what your dictionary has listed for "disaster"?
"Anyone"? It only takes a single counterexample to disprove that, and here I am. I signed up for an account on Oct 1--took me a couple of tries, but I was eventually able to do it. Got my confirmation email, confirmed it, and my account should be active. However, I have never been able to actually log in. When I try, I get a red error message under the username/password boxes saying, "The information you entered isn't valid. Review this information." If I use the "Forgot Password" link in an attempt to reset my password and enter my username, I get an email with a password reset link--so my username is obviously in the DB and associated with the right email address. But when I click that link, I get a page that tells me that "We weren't able to process your request because we couldn't find a Marketplace profile that matched the information that you provided." Wut.
And although it only takes a single counterexample to disprove a universal, I'm certainly not the only person having the exact same problem. Do a web search for those error messages and you'll find many others saying the same thing.
Which is easier: getting your local idiot bankers to roll back a fraudulent debit, or doing a VISA chargeback?
Why yes, I've done both, and they were about equally easy. Someone printed up some checks with my account info, and pretty much all merchants turn checks in to ACH debits these days. I called up Bank of America, they looked at the check images and other stuff, agreed that the checks were fraudulent, transferred my money to a new account (including the amount that was fraudulently debited), and mailed me an affidavit to fill out, sign, and send back. The main difference with a VISA chargeback is that depending on the situation, they might not insist on sending a new card with a new number--however, I suspect if the amounts involved were the same as in the check fraud case (almost $2000), I would've gotten a new card number.
How is it a "huge problem"? ASCII has a number of control characters too. A whitelist is a great idea, but why is the whitelist so restrictive? Just grab a copy of the current Unicode Data file and whitelist all current non-control characters. And if you're concerned that Zalgo might come, I suppose you could omit any non-spacing chars from the whitelist without people complaining too much (though perhaps it'd be good to include the ones that are actual letters in various Indic scripts).
I was replying to Sable Drakon, who said, "But DisplayPort and Thunderbolt aren't in common deployment on PCs..." in response to someone who said that "display port and thunderbolt are already widely deployed." DisplayPort is widely deployed on PCs, and anyone who doesn't have DP but wants this computer monitor (see headline, "4K Computer Monitors Are Coming (But Still Pricey)") can easily get DP. If someone wants 4K for their home theater, they'll have to deal with the HDMI limitations for now, but that's not what we're talking about here--we're talking about computers.
My Gigabyte Z77 chipset motherboard has a DisplayPort connector for onboard video. Many other motherboards also include a DisplayPort. They're rather common.
No, DisplayPort and Thunderbolt aren't widely deployed.
I don't know when you last looked at video cards, but pretty much all of them have had DisplayPort for the last 2 or 3 years. NewEgg currently lists almost 300 video cards that have at least one DP or mini-DP connector: here are the 195 that have exactly one DP connector.
Damn, I keep forgetting that slashdot removes anything that looks like an html tag.
Sure, if you use a posting mode that allows HTML tags. If you don't want your comment to be interpreted as HTML, click on the little gear icon and change your comment posting mode. Also, Preview button.
Really? The Postscript printers I've used, network and local, have all required drivers. Maybe this is a stupid question, but how do you control duplex or not, color or B/W, which paper source, etc if you don't have a driver for the printer?
A PPD, a text file which describes the printer's capabilities, and the commands to send to change various options.
Every time you buy RoundUp at Home Depot, they give you small speech about the dangers of RoundUp. Seems like Home Depot has their ass covered. Thats how dangerous RoundUp is.
You mean 4G speeds. It's still right there on their prepaid plan page. "$30 per month — Unlimited web and text with 100 minutes talk: 100 minutes talk | Unlimited text | First 5GB at up to 4G speeds"
Too damned many alliterates here these days (and no, that wasn't misspelled, look it up).
Fine, I'll take the bait:
Merriam-Webster says it's a verb, but you're using it as a noun. Wiktionary agrees that it's a verb. So what were you trying to say? In English this time.

The R10000 is MIPS IV, not MIPS V

That's true, but has anyone bothered to do it yet? Cars have had electronic throttles for quite a few years now, and I haven't heard of that feature.
Toyota? See: Smart Stop Technology.
Nissan too. And Ford, Hyundai, BMW, etc....
Actually, after the Toyota scandal, I'd be surprised if it wasn't standard on all cars with electronic throttle.

I think the point is the browser in Windows Phone DOESNT SUPPORT HTML5 YOUTUBE.
Then you think incorrectly, since that is false.

Unlike Amazon's bullshit system, Newegg ships us reviewers the product itself that we can keep for free and then we write a review about it.
In what way is that unlike Amazon's system?
That strikes me as a tad bit more restrictive than calling a driver's license a 'privilege.' (A privilege now required to vote in Texas.)
That's not actually true--you definitely don't need a driver's license to vote in Texas.
No, the key has to be inside the passenger compartment to start it.
I'm counting all devices here, not just PCs.

Are you off your meds or something? I have no idea what /. would need to save me from. Certainly not from you.
Khybering up another thread, I see...
There are strings attached, namely that he wouldn't be able to get the .com domain....
No, pretty sure he could also get the .com domain if he paid $250K. Regardless of whether or not he accepted the free .org. I don't see any strings.
