if Einstein's views were regularly brought up in conversation to determine if something is smart or not (which they're not), yeah, that'd *still* not be deification
Using Einstein's brain as a metric is nothing short of religion, for the simple purpose that a single man can not be used to define what intelligence is. There isn't an even an objective answer to that.
To develop this further, Einstein is mostly used today as a symbol and an icon used to represent "the bright scientist". But like most icons, posthumous studies are making him larger than life.
Yes, just your average run-of-the-mill scientist......one who managed to answer a hell of a lot more questions than others did...and create even more.
There are several hundreds scientists which made major contributions to science. None of them were average, but that doesn't make Einstein that extraordinary and godlike.
Food exports? Since when is Europe eating any american food? Even stuff like mcdonald's is produced from local ingredients, which happen to be of much higher quality. Remember France, Italy and Spain are part of Europe, and they all have important agriculture and food culture with many labelled products.
People don't care about whatever justification potheads will come up with. Weed smells and it is lame. Alcohol is social, elegant and tasteful. Get over it.
You have a proxy driver that remaps OpenGL calls. Assuming it works (doesn't work so well in practice), this is nowhere as efficient as direct access to the graphics card.
Bond wasn't even looking at the first girl that saved him while having his Heineken® on the bed, and he left without even telling her anything. He appeared like a creep behind the second girl while she was showering and just fucked her. Women were just sex objects. Despite the film being very long they didn't get any character development at all.
Optimus is most of the time used as a marketing argument to sell laptops with powerful graphics yet low power consumption, so it is hardly undocumented.
The component responsible for decoding video with the nvidia GPU is vdpau, and it is unrelated to OpenGL driver performance. vdpau kind of sucks anyway. I frequently get both better performance and better quality using the CPU.
x86-64 has twice the amount of GPR registers and SSE registers. It necessarily has SSE2 and other extensions. It has a much better ABI, yielding better performance, in particular for everything tied to SSE. It will also allow better PIC, as used by shared libraries.
32-bit x86 distributions are built for i386, i486 or i586. All of which do not have all the instructions available in your processor. On a 32-bit distribution, essentially everything is built for ancient processors in the name of compatibility, and it doesn't use your processor effectively.
So no, sorry, but a 64-bit x86 linux distribution will be MUCH faster than a 32-bit one. Anyone installing a 32-bit one is doing something extremely silly.
What is surprising is that 64-bit is clearly better than 32-bit for performance, and the whole point of the exercise seems to be to get higher performance.
In the English world, namely the US and the UK, it seems that everyone has the same name. As a result of this, you simply can't look up someone on Google or anything else. It is extremely inconvenient.
Couldn't you people try to get unique last names at least?

Gifted implies there is something special, almost magic, which makes things entirely different.
There is the difference between being smart and being the reference of what smart is.
It's because I understand things that I know there is no "gift", just regular people that happen to have good intuition and ideas sometimes.
Studying is brain is being used to define traits that make humans smart.
How is that anything short of deification?
Seriously.
He was just a scientist among many others.

How exactly is Canada any different than Sweden in this regard?

Fucking up your liver is ok, fucking up your brain is not.
The choice is supposed to be transparent.
You can probably force to always use one in the BIOS.

Sorry, that's still ancient.
Is Bond as sexist in the novel as in this film?
Bond wasn't even looking at the first girl that saved him while having his Heineken® on the bed, and he left without even telling her anything. He appeared like a creep behind the second girl while she was showering and just fucked her.

You're suggesting setting up a VM so that you can install video games that need to talk directly to the graphics card?
What a funny guy.

Apple's toolchain is GCC 4.2 or Clang 3.1.
Both are good compilers.
You don't to go through the stupid IDE to do things. It works just like on Linux, except that GCC 4.2 is old and outdated.
Running a jacuzzi in a cold storage room maybe.

This is 2012, there is no need for swap files.
