Concorde was, for decades, the fastest any 'ordinary' person with 4 grand burning a hole in their wallets could go, and it's no longer here.
Fixed that for you. Easy jet is preferable for ordinary people, because it's affordable. Video conferencing is preferable for business, because it's cheaper than flights + hotel rooms. There is a common theme here - money! (and a desire to retain as much of it, as you can).
But some people won't try to fix the error - and that's actually a much bigger problem.
We tried something similar in one of our software products. If the software detected modifications to the binary, it would run, but some features would perform 'erratically', and periodically we'd slow the execution down to a crawl. We thought we were being clever until we started seeing a few reviews appearing that panned the software as slow / buggy / unreliable. If you add a scheme of this sorts, you're potentially sacrificing the reputation of your product, and of your company / development team. For every person stupid enough to seek support for a product they don't own, there are another 5 or 6 who aren't that dumb (and will forever remember your company as the one who makes buggy software)
When someone at FemiLab tells you they've created antihydrogen, they also tell you how they did it - should you wish to repeat the experiment and corroborate their results.
Unless someone steals *your* DNA, makes hundreds of thousands of clones of you, and then sells them as 'happy home helpers'. You might get a bit annoyed with random people assuming you've escaped from domestic service, and a bit miffed with the profits generated from selling copies of you. At that point, you might, just might, see the positive aspects of DNA patents. Admittedly, as a justification for DNA patents, that's a pretty thin excuse based mainly in tin foil hat land.... In all other aspect they are rubbish.
Because each of the 10 cores can handle 2 threads via hyper-threading (i.e. 20 vs 12). In addition you have AVX instructions which allow you to process 8 floats or 4 doubles in a single instruction (vs SSE's 4 floats/2 doubles). Assuming there are no bugs in their chipsets, it should be a bit of a beast...
You've obviously never lived in the UK! A quick history:
In 1982, most of the country had 4 TV channels. About 15 years later, some parts of the country got a (really bad) 5th. That was never a problem though, because UK viewers only ever watched countdown, the news, and neighbours. More channels were never really wanted.
The biggest problem with cable (and sky) in the UK, has always been vorderman. Basically you'd get no more vorderman with cable than you would with terrestrial, so it wasn't worth the extra expense. Even after digital TV started broadcasting, the uptake remained slow, because again, no more vorderman for your money. Early on in digital TV broadcasting, ITV digital collapsed spectacularly, and it was only in the aftermath of the collapse that people realised how the vorderman effect worked. Sandwich in some vorderman in the ad break with some vague maths (insurance quotes, loans, anything really), and the channel would succeed. If you graph the number of digital TV viewers in the UK against the amount of vorderman exposure, there is a direct and striking correlation between the two...
You can render your radiosity results using phong shading or other shading techniques.
You could, but that would be a very stupid thing to do. Why go to the bother of computing an accurate colour for a point on a surface, to then modulate it with an in-accurate plastic surface approximation? That makes absolutely no sense.
The parent is half right. What he should have said is:
1) contaminated cardboard is not recycled into food packaging.
Just a few days ago, a few companies were told to stop using recycled cardboard for their food products (possibly kellogs?). The reason was that the cardboard contained lots of nasty chemicals, encrusted burger sauce, poo, etc, that could contaminate the food, and therefore pose a health risk to consumers....

The competition is from consoles (where you are free to buy and sell second hand games without any of this DRM nonsense)
No, that makes it 5 year old hardware. The i7 is effectively a pentium 1 on steroids, but that doesn't make it 18 years old....

indeed, it's not surprising he got caught, he was only behind 6 proxies.
Then you should have posted as anon. I'm sending the fuzz over for you now :p

The exact location is classified.

The Blackpool quake was 2.2
Not true. Students who graduate, are all happier than the ones who flunk their finals.....
DNA being patentable really, really sucks.

It accelerates ssh in exactly the same way that fmul accelerates a calculator. I don't think microsoft will be concerned....

Because it's impossible for someone to sign at a conversational speed?
Did you not see the sign for Barbados?

Poorly when compared to Cook-Torrence, Blinn or Oren-Nayar.
For you maybe. For me however, the connection between the Queen and Congress wasn't immediately obvious....
Well yes, that's why people buy the Intel compiler.
Agreed. Especially since it was ultimately the fault of the earthquake.
Well, assuming the game gets an 18 rating, the youngest player would have been watching teletubbies when development started.....

.... but the burgers come with tomato ketchup and a Gherkin, so they do include fruit and veg with every happy meal !!
