The book is NOT about pedophilia, there's some alleged fiction about pedophilia in it. Not the same. Also, he didn't advocate it, more describe the pulsions of a middle aged man succombing to it... tamer than Lolita.
At least HE can make the difference between fact and fiction (the book is fiction), and keep things in perspective (the young boys part is very small in that book).
They are in a legal dispute with Intel and currently cannot produce chipsets for Intel's new CPUs.
They probably find that they cannot recoup the costs of developing an IGP chipset for just the AMD platform.
And in the quite short term (1yr), Video will move off the chipset and on to the CPU package, making IGP chipsets a dead-end.
Since the Video part has always been the strong point of nVidia's chipsets, they see no point in continuing in the chipset business with non-IGP parts. I understand why.
If I were them, I'd jump into the CPU business though, for fear of getting Matroxed into irrelevance.
True for me. The last nVidia chipset I was happy with was the nForce 1: perfect reliability, outstanding sound. Since then I've always had small problems, like RAM sticks working everywhere except with their chipsets, heavy HD loads causing OS crashes, heavy USB loads causing OS unresponsiveness...
I had blacklisted nVidia chipsets years ago, I personally won't miss them. A mono/duopoly isn't ever good, though.
The DS was a luxury car, I think De Gaulle used one, with a hydraulic suspension, you could make the care go higher or lower on its wheeels. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citroen_DS
The 2CV was a very cheap, noisy, reliable and easy to maintain people's car. It set some kind of record, with 40+ years in production. I had one for a while, I remember trying to go as fast as possible when going downhill, so that I wouldn't slow down to 10 mph before I reached the top of the next hill. Felt kinda like a bike. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citroen_2cv. The one in their picture looks classy in black. Mine was bright yellow, with duck stickers all over
It's almost funny how the pain in the ass measures dreamed up by politicos have no impact on security. A while back, there actually was an "I am a terrorist" check box on the little cards you have to fill in when you enter the US. Come on...
Do the guys who create those idiocies actually have to go through them, or is there a handy "i'm a politico" cut-through card ?
Surprisingly, Sony made a couple of business decisions: - kill the second-hand game market, and force every one to buy from them, every time - force punters to buy a whole new set of peripherals, alos from them
That's not a design problem. That's a company deciding to fleece its customers for every thing they can.
Also, if we see laws as a bunch of code, I'm amazed there's zero maintenance done on them. We're still stuck with 200+ years old texts, whose language is so outdated as to be barely comprehensible.
Exactly that happened to me with my first automatic + assisted steering car (a while back). The thing was big, and heavy (as far as european cars go), and I had no "feel" for it at all. One evening, I stayed late at work to test how it really handled, did a couple of tailspins...
Still, a month later, late at night but I was not drunk nor asleep, just a bit tired, I got into a tailspin on an access ramp. I never figured out how it happened, I was not speeding, not even going fast.
I'm not sure. To (badly) paraphrase Orwell, the problem of the poor is not si much that they are poor, but rather that they are idiots. In particular, given the same amount of money, they'll buy much worse food a richer and more educated person.
So subisidies may not be it. Education rather. Plus there's the added moral risk of deciding what's good and what's bad. Red wine has been found to lessens circulatory problems, cigarettes to lessen Alzheimer... The US governement doesn't seem able to realize that good cheese is good for your health and your quality of life, and has you eating plastic instead. I wouldn't trust them to sensibly define what foods are good are bad.
Stop the hysterics. Universal healthcare = slavery ? take a chill pill !
Healthcare in France has been "socialized" from times immemorial. Everybody has basic state-funded health insurance, with doctors and clinics allowed to charge more than a sometimes very stringy "basic" rate. People are allowed to contract additional insurance to cover more treatments, and not at all pay the customary small % of treatment cost.
There hasn't really been any impact on our right to eat/drink anything we want, nor on our right to not exercise at all.. The overall cost of health care (as % of GDP) is lower than in the US.
On the contrary - life expectancy is better - obesity is much less of a problem - the drinking age is lower - the food is much better:-p
You need to brush up on the slippery slope fallacy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slippery_slope). You'll sound less like a lunatic with absurd rants.
Lucky bastard. Mine locks up once a day, and that's with 2 third-party apps: an e-reader and a media player. It locks up even when I don't run those 2 apps between lock-ups, so I'm fairly sure they've got nothing to do with it.
Also, I just love having the Windows Experience on a tiny screen, with no real keyboard nor mouse, but lots of windows to scroll, tiny red Xs to click... It makes me appreciate how easy Windows is on a real PC !
The worst of it is: I blame Palm. If those suckers hadn't screwed up so badly towards the end, we might be able to get Palm V's usability in a phone ! As it is, i'm switching back to a dumb phone + Palm TX combo. Best of both worlds.
The problem is that on top of economy and culture, politicians also take into account... politics: what will benefit most MY home state, what will please MY core constituents most... When an administration does not even heed simple facts (there's no link between Al Qaeda and Iraq, condoms are the most efficient weapon agains AIDS...) , there's no chance it all Science will get a fair hearing.
I was selling MS software and services a few years ago. What really hurt Open Software was: - lack of marketing. there's very little communication even targeted at techs, and 0 targeted at decision makers / purse string holders. - lack of references. this may have changed, but many projects only had a handful of true entreprise-scale users; - product immaturity. ergonomics (both user and admin), documentation, sometimes even reliability could be often iffy. - training and consulting were less widely available than for MS/Oracle... products
The actual license cost is often negligible for a complete project, once you factor in training, implementation, maintenance...

He recently denied having had sex with kids.
You ARE flaming, or an idiot.

I don't know if nVidia stole his girlfriend or killed his puppy or what, but god, that man is on a mission !
have you tried AMD IGP's ? theyr're quite good for HTPC.

They cheated, I think later models had up to 6HP, instead of the basic 2, then 4.

Is anyone surprised ?
That's very true.

Well I don't know what race you are, but you weren't very lucky: but you have 2 nations inventing calculus...
If only greenhouse gases were the sole pollution type produced by cars. Heavy metals and such are used both in the product, and in the process.
you mean E actually equals MCÂ ?

do you really think the dev kit cost is significant, alogside code/ressources/marketing ?
answer: a long time. It's always been, and always will be, this way.
I don't, the computer does. Doesn't seem to complain, either.
Which is the exact same reason people stick to Windows.
