Isn't that pretty much the Alienware market? Some dope will pay double for this tiny performance boost.
Not really. The Alienware market is wide and varied and the "best of the best" make up a very very small portion of their sales. Yeah they do move some units, but compared to enthusiasts who don't want to pay double on an already insanely expensive piece of kit... you said it yourself.
Of course it happens, the question is does it happen in a big enough market. I'm willing to bet the majority of 7980xes were not bought by SIs. But you even said it yourself there were mitigating factors that pushed you towards that decision. In the normal case it's not cost effective to go to an SI vs building yourself and typically the type of people who are into these kinds of specs are more than capable of plugging a few things together.
This is quite the curious move from Intel. Sure SIs have budget to buy in bulk and to auction, but the super enthusiasts who would be the likely target market for this chip aren't usually the type to go out to an SI and say "I want something off the shelf, please build for me".
The weird thing about America is having the number in Congress frozen since 1911
No the really odd thing about America is the amount of power given to a single person representing 326million people while at the same time complaining about the details or congressional representation. It's like complaining in the winter that the roof insulation isn't perfect while having a front door which doesn't close.
I've just skimmed over your post and I get the impression you're implying it's still possible. I've just done this and it doesn't hold the position, it's a temporary view while holding your fingers down.
Not OP, I'm not sure which map you're using but the only time it doesn't hold the position is if the forward direction isn't roughly facing forward: i.e. you're not in chase, but rather pointlessly looking behind you.
Before you continue preaching about how evil developers are, ask yourself why you're the only one who seems to have this problem.
Never ever forget, Google allowed some nobody app developer to pretend to be a major bank and run a pretend banking app, that is exactly how shite Google is.
An anecdote is not data. Don't fall into that trap or your arguments will forever go around in circles as people will show you examples of shitty fraud from other platforms. The best processes in the world will fall to human mistakes. Remember Apple's policy is not to duplicate core functionality in apps, yet they let an app into their store which gave a heart rate through the apple watch and then used touch ID to authorise an invisible $90 transaction from the user's account.
Now there's plenty of actual data out there on malware on Google's platform. Use that next time. Otherwise it's just a game of pointing out that everything is shit.
Australia has been doing this for years as well. The Bruce Highway still has a traffic light on it but they've put a lot of effort into actually bypassing the towns. A trip from Sydney to Brisbane now takes a tad over 10 hours. It used to take 16 hours.
The point is the locals are quite right. Google shouldn't be estimating for tourists, they should be giving the time to destination assuming a direct path with no stops. Google shouldn't be making assumptions about your diet or the diet of your car.
For your search it is. Who is to say that when they made the search they got the same result? Now none of this is to say that Google is at "fault" but when a main road is closed in the outback you can easily change a route that adds hundreds of km to a journey. Likewise it can put you on a shitty dirt track that drops you down to 50km / hour.
Last time I traveled through Far North Queensland Google took me off the highway and through Woodleigh Station. It cut 60km from my trip but at one point the road completely ceased to exist making the trip very slow and a short time later I was standing for 20min while 200 cattle were being herded around us and a cattledog was biting at my tires. We got to where we were going well over an hour later than the other car which left at the same time.
Was Google at "fault"? No idea. Maybe the road was listed as closed, maybe the previous driver through the station raced through it at 100km/h and Google recorded the road as being faster. Maybe everyone else pulled over due to a road train passing on the highway and Google assumed there was an accident. Point is, from 4 hours to 7 hours is less than double the time and far worse than that does happen.
But since you wish to be a Slashdot neckbeard and pontificate over commonly understood colloquial terms
No. There was no "consensus". Pointing out that that commonly "understood" terms are completely misunderstood and not backed by any science is not being some pontificating neckbeard, it's there for the betterment of society.
The MD highlights your comment just as much as it highlights my point: "The most important meal of the day" had no influence and was never backed by science which brings me back to my conclusion, which I will now re-quote for prosperity: Guess what: Skipping breakfast is still bad for you. Intermittent fasting is still good for you. Your problem was that you never defined "bad" or "good"
As soon as anyone uses the word "bad" or "good" to defined something as complicated as nutrition you have lost. If I am a neckbeard pontificating then let me pontificate this to you: BE BETTER. Don't dumb down science into worthless words only to reiterate the notion that our knowledge is changing. It is not.
In other news windows key + search still works just fine and explorer search has worked as good as it always has. Since it's safe to assume your entire work population didn't suddenly get stupid, maybe it's time to replace your IT staff.
Indeed. And a transponder is something that replies to a request. A GPS transponder is something that replies to a request with a GPS position. Just because the request doesn't come through via GPS doesn't mean the term "GPS transponder" isn't used legitimately in literature, descriptions, wikipedia, or even... https://www.raveon.com/m7-gx-g... the product names of the devices.
It's all a question of need. Do we really need redundant fuel pumps? Do we really need redundant transponders? Personally I think the most important thing to improve a plane's reliability is a redundant coffee machine. Can you imagine having a grumpy pilot? It would be nice if they didn't fly into the ground in a fit of tired rage... but at least we'd be able to watch them do it with transponders, we can't do that with fuel pumps.
Personally when I query a device I want to know how many burgers its owner ate for breakfast so I only buy Owner Breakfast Burger Transponders.
In other news, splitting hairs over english names is dumb when clearly everyone here knows just fine how the devices work. But since you're splitting hairs it's worth pointing out that regardless of what you think you are still *wrong*.
Straight from Wikipedia: "GPS data pullers are also known as "GPS transponders". Unlike data pushers that send the position of the devices at regular intervals (push technology), these devices are always on, and can be queried as often as required (pull technology). This technology is not in widespread use, but an example of this kind of device is a computer connected to the Internet and running gpsd."
Straight from a product name of a device you claim doesn't exist because you don't like the way the words are used: https://www.raveon.com/m7-gx-g...
You should tell all these vendors their devices don't exist before they find themselves in an existential crisis.
Just because something has a small effect doesn't mean it should not be treated.
That depends on if that something has a benefit. The GP's crack in the road doesn't have a benefit. The mixture of chemicals in sunscreen however dramatically help reduce skin cancer rates.
but really just sticking to food that's been on the planet for longer than 100 years
I can't remember us synthesising new food in labs (except maybe vegan not burgers). Your choice is arbitrary and doesn't help understanding of the issues at play.
20 years ago it was "skipping breakfast" and was bad for you.
One thing has remained constant over time, and that's people's ability to generalise highly specific studies and then draw conclusions that science doesn't know what it's doing.
Guess what: Skipping breakfast is still bad for you. Intermittent fasting is still good for you. Your problem was that you never defined "bad" or "good" and therefore you think these conclusions are somehow opposed to each other and inconsistent. They aren't.
Obviously wireless transmissions are subject to a wide range of interference from both other transmitters and the environment.
In a perfect environment I'd be dragging a wire with me everywhere I go. The environment isn't perfect. Even in industrial and critical applications Wireless finds a use.
You don't do remote surgery in a facility without infrastructure.
Indeed. Which is why they are testing 5G as suitable infrastructure.
If there is power, water and sewer then it is also reasonable to expect cabling to be tractable for communications.
You are clearly a city boy.
Also if there is a 5G access point within range there is very likely to be supporting backhaul links not too far away.
Presence of a backhaul does not automatically mean that running wires in every direction is feasible, and remember we're not talking about a fixed hospital here. Remote surgeries are not being considered so that poor overworked doctors can work from home.
