There is very little Intel can do to stretch thing by another 5 degrees.
They'll either agree to the guarantee with their standard chips or they'll bin the chips just like they do with speed grades. My company does the same thing with the chips that it produces. We have a commercial temperature range and an industrial temperature range - they're the same chip, but some are binned for the higher temperature.
Oswald Chesterfield Copperpot (and I) most seriously doubt that Opus was the Greatest Penguin Evar. I'm pretty sure Burgess Meredith would put in his two cents' worth as well.
Actually, if he's that worried, he's being overly paranoid. I've taken my laptop in and out of the country four or five times this year, from Asia, Mexico and Europe. No problems, no searches, no nothing.
I'm prudent, though - there's no business data on my laptop. I either download what I need when I get there, then delete it when I'm done, or I VPN back to the corporate network. But that's not because I'm worried that the gubmint is going to swipe my notebook. I'm far more worried about regular old thievery. And, to be honest, I'm not terribly worried about that!
Now that there is funny, I don't care who you are!
You know why I don't use the camera on my iPhone? Because, like every other cell phone camera that I've tried, it takes crappy pictures. Oh, the iPhone is a special case, of course, because after I've taken the picture, I can't MMS it to anyone. But that's not a hardware problem.
Oh the humanity! If you think 1200 clicks per semester is bad, think of the millions of pixels that are being wasted displaying the EULA! Think of the CPU resources that are unnecessarily spent rendering the text that NOBODY IS GOING TO READ! It's a travesty! Somebody should write a sternly worded letter!
Statistics be damned! I'm fat and happy as a pig in shit. Although I have to admit that the thought of grinding my paladin from level 70 to 80 in Wrath of the Lich King does make me a little morose.
Oh, I'm pretty sure that if I was asked to present the information in a different medium, I'd be completely capable. I thought that it was quite clearly written - and I've seen some pretty obfuscated legalese before.
My point was that using a software algorithm to determine the level of education required for comprehension of something isn't particularly useful without a set of human eyes to serve as a sanity check.
Well, not me, but Roald Amundsen did it over a hundred years ago. And it's been navigated so many times since then that it's not exactly news anymore.
Last year, the European Space Agency said that the passage was "fully navigable" without any special equipment. So I guess that the invading horde from the US will be overhauling Canada any time now.
I read Insight's privacy policy. If it really takes a PhD to understand that document, then I guess my undergrad degree must have been a lot more powerful than I thought!
It strikes me that the results of this "study" suggest that a human sanity check of the programs that evaluated the level of education necessary to understand the documents is in order.
Yeah, I'm not getting it either - Sn63Pb37 is pretty standard solder. I mean, if you're going to speculate about problems, why not suggest that Nvidia got a better deal on new solder? Or found that they got better performance out of a different solder?
Given that Nvidia wouldn't tell Charlie Demerjian that the sky is blue, anything he says is just guessin'.
If only there was some kind of an award for recognizing superior achievement in revealing completely humor-impaired/.ers. And the converse for the the humor-impaired/.ers who, like a horde of nerdish lemmings, followed one another off the cliff of absurdity.
I get 'em all the time, too, and I own a piddly little insignificant web site. But what's worse than the trollish emails is the god-awful white on green format of idle.slashdot.
The tiny little comment box is kind of cute, though.

Precisely - and since the temperature is lower, you must cook it longer.
Taters take a lot longer too cook, too. Same problem.
Google doesn't use (or uses very few) hard disks. And who's to say that they have not asked for guarantees of performance from other chips?

I wondered as well - our lab has thirty or forty motherboards and no cases - it's a pain in the butt to try to maneuver scope probes in a case.

I don't know about that...if you can pop an old battery out and a new battery in, where is the old one going to go? The trash is my guess.

Continuing on this tangent, "So Neal Stephenson" means (to me) that the author has a torrid love affair with his thesaurus. And gets paid by the word.
His first few books were very, very good. Something went wrong when the page count exploded.

Are you also an ardent defendant of Zeno's Dichotomy?

My god, it's only Monday and I'm already seeing things...
What the headline said: India Joins Nuclear Market
What I read: Indiana Jones Nuclear Market
I was actually kind of excited to see what that was all about!

Uh oh, looks like Spain might have beat you to the punch...
Nothing for it but to head to court!

It was an OK joke, but the response? Hi-larious!
How about "just vote"?

No, it's still pretty bad. And the tiny comment box is kind of strange, too.
Some people just don't get it...
Oh yeah, and be sure to give credit where it's due.
Some of the French may disagree. Of course, most of them surrendered in 1914.
