For a moment there I was excited. You mentioned the 4 GB and 2 GB (ram) models, followed by "add more memory". The video was about upgrading the SSD, though. Not surprisingly, as it's generally much easier to change the disk than ram, although there are exceptions (my trusty/mouldy Powerbook has a simple RAM bay, but you need to dismantle the whole thing with O(100) screws to access the HD).
because you've dumbed down the language to make it more user friendly, you've likely also taken away a lot of its power. The archaic syntax of languages is often for a very good reason.
IMHO, good languages are fairly terse, because they allow you to see a bigger picture at a glance. Mathematics has plenty of examples of this -- you often devise some ad hoc notations to make a complicated problem easier to visualize. In programming, the obvious equivalent would probably be functions and classes etc. but it helps if the language is not too verbose to begin with.
But my old boss is definitely a "genious," and has had more than 10 years experience as a computer technician. (I wouldn't trust him to insert RAM sticks.)
That's why they are called "ram" -- you don't insert the sticks, you ram sticks.
Noise can also be defined as comments that are moot and not conductive to the thread. Hmmmmm.... I can't really think of an example right now. Maybe you can post something asinine yet without understanding and someone can point out that it is noise as well.;)
In this case (pun intended), I too would be worried about thermal conductivity.
To get back on topic, I'm aware of the general meaning of "noise" in physics/electronics, but I couldn't help the comment, since people generally mean "unwanted sound" when talking about "noise", and unwanted sound is one of the first things to come to mind when discussing badass computers.
It's great that Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency out there, and there are absolutely no advanced alternatives with serious anonymity. After all, Bitcoin was released in 2009 and there's no way for the scene to evolve significantly in mere 5 years.
WARNING : may contain MKPUPPET triggers. Processed on machinery that may have also been used to process peanuts. Oops, maybe we should have put that up front.
IMHO, the point of X network transparency is a no-brainer in the same way as local OpenGL acceleration. Instead of wasting bandwidth on raw bitmaps, you just send the drawing commands, whether over the network or PCIe. (It's like MIDI vs. raw audio for the keyboardists out there.) I don't know all the programming details, but I've done 3D modelling over 2 MB/s cable this way, and I can't imagine it would have worked as smoothly using raw video.
So where does this leave ITER, the European project. There's little point building a 500MW experiment if 5 of these babies will work and produce useable power.
That's a big if. Having done my master's thesis on plasma physics, it's great to see multiple different avenues towards fusion in action.

Your comment violated the "postercomment" compression filter. Try less whitespace and/or less repetition.
A vegetarian/vegan diet is also about saving money and energy, thus it would be a great choice for public facilities such as prisons.
Large Hardon Collider? I see a cockfight coming...

Shirley, you're joking, Mr. Fey-man.

Don't forget the acoustic noise.
As opposed to non-acoustic noise - the kind of noise you cannot hear?

"Data" is the plural of "datum" in the same way that "recta" is the plural of "rectum". I suppository you are talking out of a single rectum only.

No, because it is not an obvious compound word, so it cannot be easily MisSpelled in CamelCase CorporateSpeak.
Great, another snake oil salesman.

Fusion is often designed to fuse hydrogen into helium. This process seems sane because...
It all sounds sane until you hear the process operators talking.

An African or a European SQRT(-1)? i don't know that!
Gentoo is no more about compilers than astronomy is about telescopes.
Of course, this has nothing to do with the possible phallic symbolism of telescopes.
