And if you think that's a scienfically smart practice. You need to pull your head out of the textbook which is stuck in your arse.
So if it's not "scientifically smart" then you can clearly point out the medical studies to show this, right? Otherwise your just spouting empty rhetoric.
Fine. Keep yourself and your brats away from other people and their kids if you want to be disease carriers. You have no right to harm others because of your stupid decisions.
Wrong. Democracy only means that all eligible citizens have equal say in the decisions of the body politic. This can be either directly or indirectly through elected representatives. Both are still democracy.
Isn't 2.7Bn larger than the combined market value of every yellow pages business in the world combined?
Doubtful. AT&T sold 53% stake in their yellow pages business for $950 million which would put the estimates for solely AT&T's yellow pages business around $1.8 billion.
the US Govt and mainstream media blather on about terrorists half-way around the world in the middle-east yet ignore the drug smuggling terrorists just south of the border
And yet I've read dozens and dozens of stories about them from the "mainstream media" for some time now. Maybe you just have blinders on?
To further add, this is doubly compounded when running such things on, say, ARM processors. Anything multimedia related that doesn't have NEON SIMD or isn't using some form of hardware acceleration will run terribly slow relying only on compiler optimization.
Compilers surpassed humans when it comes to optimization a very long time ago, except for very small programs or very short inner loop bodies.
Hahah, no they didn't. If this were true anything multimedia-related would not still require tons of hand-optimized SIMD code. Even the best of C or C++ compilers are terrible at vectorization of code. Just compile something like x264 with the best C compiler you can find and compare it to the assembly-optimized version for, say, the latest i7 processors. The difference in speed will be quite huge.
I think the point is that just because something is hard is no reason not to teach it to people. If no one knew every learns these low-level details who is going to be maintaining the compilers?
The correct solution is to switch from C-based imperative languages to pure-functional implicitly parallelised languages, but that's not likely to happen before the heat death of the universe.
Well, yes. Are you going to be the one to pay the 10s of billions of dollars, if not 100s of billions, to rewrite all software in existence into a functional language?
Having the compiler identify things which could run in parallel and thread work to run as A B&C D would be a huge step forward as long as it doesn't introduce bugs.
Compilers already try to do this for example with auto-vectorization. The problem is that they are usually quite terrible at it. Even Intel's compiler which is probably the best at it usually misses out on most of the obvious places that should be vectorized. This is why pretty much all code dealing with multimedia content (audio/video/image codecs, games, etc.) still rely on tons of had written SIMD to be optimized to their fullest.
Who are these idiots that continue to spout this inane crap trying to fool?
The very people they want to be able to hire on the cheap and force them to work 12+ hour days. Telling people to not go to college has nothing to do with wanting people to succeed more. It's about wanting a less educated populace so that tech companies can depress wages.

How about you people explain why the only studies showing any links were to due to fraud and any legitimate study shows no links?
What next? Jenny McCarthy and the doctor who carried out the fradulent study that started this madness get called as expert witnesses?

Yeah because friends never move away from you to the point that you rarely get to see them in person very often.
Which are redundantly backed up all over the world. Have fun with that.
According to the Crysis 3 specs, it won't even launch on this system.
Where do you get that it won't launch? It'll launch but Crytek is telling you it probably won't run very well.
But no need to ever check out the generated code assuming the compiler is bug free.
Do unicorns exist in this fantasy land of yours as well?
Let me repeat myself: except for very small programs or very short inner loop bodies.
Yes, and you're still wrong. Video/audio decoders are not "very small programs" nor are game engines which also extensively use SIMD.

You seem to have replied to the wrong person as I'm not seeing what your post has to do with mine.

And it must be hell trying to debug without digging deeply into the generated code.

Except this is being seen even on the non-BTO models.
Because that didn't get a front page Slashvertisement?
Because the Chief Marketing Officer says so. Surely that is an unbiased source.

How is Launchpad useless without a touch environment? It's quite awesome to use with the trackpad.
They're off in la la land thinking you can put together a database of all streets and businesses in the US in less than a year
Which is why they bought data from established players like TomTom.
