Damn straight, why worry about the safety of yourself or others when you can be having fun.
For Americans death by car accident is about a 1 in 100 lifetime chance not massive but hardly minuscule. If you could say half that is that not a reasonable thing to do.
Thou of course everyone is an above average driver so the odds don't apply to them.
1 in 100 my ass. You have more than 240 million cars in daily circulation, just in the United states. Over the course of a year the total number of cars active is 200 million+ times 365 days. Out of those total vehicle transactions 40,000 fatalities and you come up with 1 in 100? Fail. Try 1 in 1,825,000 auto transactions per year or less result in a fatality. Of course, the total train fatalities were 10 last year and yet no one seems to realize how a mixed use of both would actually reduce your odds of being in a fatal car accident either.
Idk how it can be double or triple the cost. At $16,500,000 for 2500 kindle(assuming that's correct), it's already at $6,600 per kindle. If the majority of the costs are just side costs, then iPads will just raise it marginally.

Eff you on repleas of Copyright. Go create something worth reading, hearing, admiring and then if you want to give it away so be it. Don't tell me I'm going to have to suck it up and lose my Copyrights.
Great point. Everyone prefers a piece of shit out of box that you have to shine and polish to make look nice.
Really? You must have preferred a polished piece of shit because Gnome 2 was never anything but a polished piece of shit that took shit from Mac OS, Windows and threw up on the desktop, but because you could customize the piece of shit it was cool?
Clang was created by Apple, on top of LLVM, along with LLDB, and turned LLVM from a research project into a multi-billion dollar replacement to GCC. WebKit is not KHTML/KJS. It's all new. launchd, Bonjour, etc., are all Apple opening their internal stuff to the public, not to mention Darwin.
OSX screws up just too much. The whole interface is dumbed way down, it is not configurable to any real degree and it is missing lots of normal features. One of the first that springs to mind is having one wallpaper across more than one monitor. Instead I have to cut the image up into two then place one on each screen.
Hate to crap on you, but your complaints are vapor. Routinely getting Xorg latest stable with latest Nvidia drivers and Linux 3.2.x to lock up routinely is not a problem for me with Debian Sid. Hell, I can get any OS to lock up when you push it hard enough.
NeXT bought sole rights to Objective-C from Stepstone long before the Apple merger. They also hold all rights to Objective-C and if they wanted to be vindictive they could cancel its inclusion into GCC, but the don't. Instead, they chose to produce a solution for the entire toolchain in LLVM/Clang. LLVM/Clang has come a long way in a very short time span since Apple invested in it giving us all a choice to leave GCC--a very welcome choice.
Irrelevant? Not quite. For your particular use, maybe. But most Linux distros are still built using GCC, and most embedded platforms provide a GCC-based toolchain. So if, by 'irrelevant', you actually mean, 'the compiler with the most-often executed output code on earth', then yes, I guess you're right.
The fact that Debian is making it's packages LLVM/Clang ready to build against, especially for the obvious FreeBSD branch it should be abundantly clear that they are aware of the architectural advantages of LLVM/Clang/LLDB/Compiler-RT, etc.
Take the cars off-road and into the Rockies, Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, Cascades and anything off the beaten path that doesn't have all the pre-stored mappings for it to help aide it. When it reacts instinctively then they will impress me. Otherwise, it's an AI circle jerk.
get your hardware fixed. I dont have that problem on my horribly old 2009 17" macbook pro or the out of date 2011 13" macbook pro my wife has.
The only time I experienced that ws with a piece of crap Wireless router from belkin. Ripping it off the wall and smashing it solved the problem, well after it was replaced with a netgear.
Macs are notoriously finicky about wireless connectivity. Before you reply with [citation needed], just do a quick web search for crying out loud.
Horse crap. This isn't Mac OS 9 and earlier. Macs are ten times easier to set up wireless than Windows. Then again, the Apple Base Station Extreme is a dream compared to the 3rd party crap on the market, for Linux, FreeBSD and OS X. The only one that's a pain in the ass is the XP laptop.
I have a 5yo Vaio that is perfectly capable of running Ubuntu with XP and Win7 VMs (for testing websites in IE7-9).
My (web designer) colleague has a 5yo Mac that he can't even run any 2yo browsers on NATIVELY!?!
And when X Windows or Wayland requires OpenGL 3.x throughout the OS to run then we can talk. OS X 10.8 baseline profile for OpenGL is 3.2. That means system-wide Quartz Extreme is accelerated via that baseline profile. Seeing that GNOME and KDE latest are just now sucking hind tit with OpenGL ES 2.0 bits which is a subset of OpenGL 2.x it is rathers clear that older GPUs will be supported on those DEs. If they don't complain when KWin and GNOME's equivalent requires OpenGL 3.x accelerated GPUs tells me they'll have grown up.
Tool makers waiting for “clarity” on 450mm costs
March 28, 2012 at 10:45 am by Larry Rulison
The companies that supply the costly manufacturing equipment to computer chip factories – also known as “tool” makers – are waiting to get “greater clarity” about how much they will be asked to pay for the industry’s transition to using 450 millimeter silicon wafers.
The Times Union reported Tuesday that the tool makers will be asked to foot $450 million of the $1 billion price tag for the first phase of a 450mm transition program that will take place at the University at Albany’s College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering.
Deborah Geiger, a spokeswoman with SEMI, the San Jose, Calif. trade group that represents the tool makers, said the organization is hosting a forum on April 4 at the NanoCollege that will touch on the issue of how the 450mm program will be structured.
“We are not aware that definitive details and amounts have been established and publicly communicated,” Geiger said. “SEMI members are interested in greater clarity around the program structure and funding, including the cost share scenarios.”
The details included in the Times Union story were included in documents used by the Empire State Development Corp. in its approval of $300 million in funding for the NanoCollege for the 450mm program and another IBM program to shrink chip features nearly in half, down to 14 nanometers.
New York state is providing $150 million in cash and $50 million in cheap power, for $300 million total, toward both programs, which will be located inside the college’s new $365 million NanoFab Xtension building under construction on Washington Avenue Extension.
Five leading chip companies that make up what’s known as the Global 450mm Wafer Development and Deployment Consortium – Intel, IBM, GlobalFoundries, Samsung and TSMC – will each contribute $75 million over five years toward the 450mm program.
Geiger says that a meeting is expected to be held in May in which suppliers to the G450C will be provided with a “more complete communication” on the 450mm program and how involved the tool makers will be.
Computer chips are currently made on wafers that are 300mm, or smaller. But the move to 450mm would save incredible amounts of money for manufacturers since output would roughly double with the larger size wafers.

It's almost half an order of magnitude slower and by saying so you come off being far more accurate without getting down into the weeds of accuracy and precision.

He ranks as high as Mr. Magoo.

I could give a rat's a$$ about GCC. They blew it and will be replaced by LLVM/Clang industry-wide, sooner rather than later on.

Do you folks even realize IBM, TSMC, Global Foundries and Samsung announced their 450nm production back in March?

You lost the argument at the concept that everyone considers their fellow person an equal, beyond rudimentary existence.
