Less toxic indeed. I'd personally prefer more renewables, combined with increases in energy efficiency, over nuclear any day. We've already had one windscale here in the UK, I'd prefer to not increase the chances of another. If accidents can be caused by nothing more than a stuck valve, human error, or a natural disaster; then I'd prefer to be a NIMBY in this case.....
Now they're just hipsters of the sea, living on a shellfish only diet, spending their entire income on in-app purchases for the latest freemium games. Damn those hipsters whales, ruining gaming for the rest of us....
Well how about that great value train service we now have? For the cheap price of £182, you can have a return fare between bournemouth and birmingham (which I was recently forced to pay) The flights to Belfast and back only cost £35 FFS!
Using a daily mail article to back up your argument, is no better than using the bible to prove the age of the universe.
FWIW, Have you tried city-link recently? They don't even leave cards when they fail to arrive for 3 days running, and then they expect you to drive 15miles to their nearest office. Great for those who have a car, but for me, walking a few hundred meters to the local post office is far more convenient than a £50 taxi trip.
Sorry, but pointy jabs at OSes are well deserved in this case (ex-film industry guy here). Linux is used extensively within the film industry, but each studio requires a small army of linux gurus to patch and modify the OS and kernel just to keep the OS from constantly falling over. Whilst none of the gurus complain (they get paid a healthy salary), it's a real shame that an artist simply cannot perform these tweaks themselves (recompiling a kernel is not for the faint of heart!). You'll also find a few Mac pros knocking about, but there the problems are just plain ridiculous. The lag between new OpenGL version & GPU features, v.s. the adoption into OS X is just insane. If you're predominantly linux, with a few hundred mac OS X boxes, it's kinda nice to be able to provide the same toolset to users on both platforms (As an R&D programmer, my role was to help improve the performance of art tools). Sadly, if you have OS X in the mix, this becomes extremely unpleasant. You end up with the high performance version on linux (leveraging any GPU feature available to give the artists the ability to work on scenes with hundreds of millions of polygons), and then you have the crippled OS X version that craps out after 10 million (even though the GPU used in both machines is identical). Windows isn't without it's problems (being effectively stuck with a single user->single computer mindset), but at least you can still exploit the underlying hardware. The reality is, if you're a creative professional, working with computers is still a massive ball-ache. It's a shame that people who write the OSes haven't really put much consideration into figuring out how their users actually use the things.
In everything else, yes. In the case of libel, if you make a statement about someone, you had better make sure you have proof first. You could argue that it stifles free speech, but on the other hand, it does at least prevent people in the media from saying things like "He's a communist Muslim from Kenya"....
AVX v.s. SSE4.2 : 8 x floats per instruction v.s. 4 floats per instruction. (Nehalem v.s. Sandy Bridge)
AVX2 v.s. AVX : 8 x 32 integers per instruction v.s. 4 x 32 bit integers per instruction. (Ivy Bridge v.s. Haswell)
The performance gains certainly are there. As per usual, meaningless benchmarks are meaningless.
Don't be so quick to judge...... In the documentary, you're never quite sure if she was like that anyway, or whether it's been triggered by some deep rooted psychological scar from being in the armed forces.
Sounds about right for a Core2 duo era laptop. Not everyone in the world wants to, or can afford to, upgrade their laptops every year. (I've only just upgraded mine to a nice new shiny one, and I'm pretty impressed by the 5+ hours battery life).
Sooooooo...., the climate didn't change on earth before man appeared here. REALLY?
Sooooooo......, you're a climate scientist who has spent a substantial part of their life studying the effects that man made atmospheric pollution have on the Earth's climate? No? Then forgive me if I ignore everything you say, and instead listen to people who are qualified to talk on this subject.
Can't speak for those at the NSA, but I grew up next to GCHQ, and knew a few people who worked there. Whenever the topic of GCHQ came up in conversation, it was pretty apparent that no one actually knew what they were doing. They are given small tasks from those higher up, but they have no idea what it's for, or why they're doing it. Someone might be writing speech regonition software, someone else might be processing some telephone numbers into a database, someone else might be writing some GPS software. No one is allowed to talk about their work to anyone else, and so no one gets the big picture as to what's actually happening. Individually the component libraries are innocent enough, but they turn positively orwellian when they are merged into a single tool (which is something the IT serfs will never see)

Are you sure you want to go with NT though? I heard that Windows 98 is better for games.....
= the GPU on an AMD A10

The same number of people, just with fewer limbs.
Be careful about saying that in public, you might get fracked....
That's why I tamper-proof my phone with Windows 8, and a picture of Justin Bieber for the locked screen.

All problems, given enough time, will morph into statistical analysis.
or, the conservative party.

Case in point: Jeffrey Archer. He sued the news of the world for libel, won, was later found to have lied in court, and was then jailed for perjury.

Clippy still works.

The compiler support was atrocious.
Visual C++ is the best compiler I've used for PPC. (It's a shame that's not available outside of the 360 devkit).
(alternately called "APU"s, "SPUs", "SPC"s, depending on who's talking)
SPE = Synergistic Processing Elements.
second attempt....
I'm sure there are people out there who use MS Paint and have no issues with its featureset.
