Google maps has been fairly accurate in Minneapolis the past few years.
It used to be terribly inaccurate and I would resort to using Yahoo maps for traffic.
It probably wouldn't be quite as bad as you think. They scrapped a lot of the old code when they switched engines. In the end they used a modified version of the Unreal 2 Engine so they were at least building off of something good.
There are a lot of good PC games with great graphics that completely ignore consoles. You just have to look harder. While console games have advertisements all over TV and stores PC games have stuck to the more niche advertisements they always have used. Look at PC gaming websites The high end PC games target future hardware and you won't be able to get a high frame rate on the highest settings even if you have the latest and greatest card.
Even for ports a super high end graphics card is beneficial. Console games are typically rendered at 1280x720 or even lower resolutions and typically target 30 frames per second, 60 if you are lucky. PC games are typically run at 1920x1080+ and people have 120hz+ monitors, some have multimonitor setups with enormous resolutions.
It would negatively affect performance to be more accurate in many cases.
In a program I made it took a playlist and copied over all of the files to a specific folder.
These files were varying sizes and from varying folders and could even be from different hard drives.
For the progress bar I just used (files copied)/(total files).
You could have songs that average 5MB but have some sort of megamix mp3 that is 300 MB, and maybe some sound effects that are only a couple KB. The progress bar isn't going to be very steady with inconstant file sizes.
If I wanted to be more accurate I could have looked at the size of each file, but that would take extra time because the program would have to read the filesize of each file. It would slow the transfer over a lot and it just isn't worth showing a more accurate progress bar for that.
Even if it did that hard drive seek time varies depending where the file is and files can be fragmented to varying degrees and you can use your hard drive for other things while it is running and a crapload of other variables.
The summary is misleading.

It isn't rated by the ESRB as AO. If it was rated by the ESRB it would be M.
PlanetSide 2 is one of the few games where you never have enough CPU.
But for 99% of games you can get a graphics card a couple generations ahead of your CPU and still not be bottlenecked by your CPU. It has always been like this.

People that don't live in shitty states don't get charged sales tax by Amazon. But go ahead and ruin it for the rest of us.
You gave me a great idea for a troll.

Almost all of those green energy investments actually are working out. More than 95% of them are.

I would never pay to go to an island and see a pigeon. I want to see a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Start working on the good animals.
idk, 10 mpg is a pretty big improvement over 8 mpg.
What could possibly go wrong?
Good luck playing Planetside 2 on that. Not all games are strictly gpu bottlenecked.
One of the many reasons why government should be more localized Instead of one giant blanket.
Is it normal for people to use hot air balloons to meet people out in the middle of the ocean or just is it a manager thing?

Very good. Now let's do it with flaming chainsaws.
You can easily distinguish multiple plotted lines in a graph if they are different colors.

That's why I said "1080p+".

If you use a condom it traps the excrement so it doesn't get released into the atmosphere.
Mirasol makes color e-ink displays that can do video. They are small e-readers though.

Reading and posting comments on Slashdot is for losers. You guys are freaks and should never have been born.
Finally they can keep their kills from rotting so they can eat them later.
