Depends on what your definition of "need" is. For example, I could say I need to run Minecraft with 220 mods, at 30 FPS, with hundreds of machine blocks. (with an i7-7700k I usually get around 11-12)
The straight up implementation of the Multi MMC Predictor algorithm over 1,000,000 symbols takes 20 minutes to run on my laptop. That's a problem when you want to test every device in a production line. I'll happily take a faster CPU.
So.. why not make tickets non-transferrable (like airline tickets) and also refundable? If you can't make it to the game/concert, return the ticket for a refund (less a nominal fee). Those returned tickets go back into the pool and can be sold again. On the day of, at least one person on the order must have appropriate ID to enter the venue.
>Yes, the public will not be happy, but what are we going to do?
Unlikely to happen, but if everyone refused to buy scalped, or re-sold tickets of any form, the pre-scalped concerts would stand empty and some change might result.
Pedestrianized zones in city centers are common across Europe. It's typical to see 'loading hours' in the early morning when delivery trucks and garbage collection can roam. Emergency vehicles and police tend to get a free pass so the roads need to be passable.
3. HyperLoop: SF is 83% going to get the HyperLoop according to sources and when this happens you can be almost anywhere in the Bay Area in under 15 minutes. With stops.
The hyperloop just isn't going to happen. Get over it.
That's what they said about the London underground.
Didn't you have projects that involved turning in your code to the teacher/graders? The graders don't want to see every which language. Multi-lingual graders are more expensive. Most colleges dictate a narrow set of languages for such projects.
Yes, but it was hardly narrow. We had homework to hand in using a variety of languages, depending on the course. Pascal tended to be used for general algorithm stuff. But Smalltalk, Prolog, ML and other usual suspects were used when they made sense for the course. You were supposed to leave with a CompSci degree where you understood the theory of languages more than the details of specific languages. Usually, for project work, you were free to choose your language and would be expected to justify the reasons. For one project I implemented a SCSI target controller for a ram disk on a board I made with a 68010, using assembler. Being able to cogently explain the complexity and potential roadblocks of getting a C cross compiler to play nice with a custom boot loader necessary for my custom hardware, compared to the lesser complexity of an assembler implementation was apparently instrumental in the good grade I got for that project - which was kind of important since it was the only 3rd year project and counted for about 1/3 of the degree result and you were supposed to do something ambitious.
I don't remember herds of graders. That's what postgrads are for.
My university (Manchester University, UK) certainly didn't pick a language.
We studied many languages, compiler design, formal semantics and a boatload of other computer science things but at no point did they try to teach me a programming language. In fact at induction they said explicitly that they expected us all to know how to program before we arrived.
It may be because I'm not a native English speaker, but in all my years reading and speaking English with friends all over the planet I have never seen the word 'née' used before.
I'm a native English speaker and I've seen it used plenty of times.
Static encryption keys are fine as long as you keep them secret and randomize the protocol. It's when you set about inventing key update protocols that it all goes to shit, Eh TLS?

I have a few wafers of the 432 in my desk draw at work.

Because the one who decides is Ticketmaster

I got it. But it was a convenient place to unload the FMV experience I had been through minutes earlier.
It had one job to do.
... ah, great point! None of these improvements matter; you have identified the one salient issue!
FMV? *looks up FMV* - Oooh, I want that for my crypto libraries (using rdrand, aesni, etc,).
FMV matters.
I do now. It came in the evening.
Which iPhone model do you have?
A 7 plus
Mine finally came through this evening.
Obviously your iPhone 5 isn't receiving this update...
Did you just assume my iPhone model?!
It's a 7.
My iPhone says "iOS 11.4.1 Your software is up to date."
A bit bloody arrogant don't you think, Blizzard?
Philips is out of business?

That was 30 years ago. Things might have changed.
I'm holding out for Jai.
The ones with brass rollers still work.

It's called a shuttlecock you blithering idiot.
^^ This.
TiVo still make the best consumer goggle box appliance. MythTV is still a bear to configure.
What changed is we took the TV off the wall and don't watch it any more.

That's because they threw away Skype and put the Skype logo on Lync. There is no skype. It's all Lync.
