This contest pits Human artists against Human machine programmers (who are also artists, but opinions on this may vary). One holds a paints brush, the other a violin, a third one a computer.
It is not the computer that generates the art works, just as the paint brush and the violin do not create the art.
I have an extraordinarily heavy CPU heatsink, of about 2 kg, that would tend to bend the motherboard, and maybe damage it, or lose close contact with the CPU because of it, so I have supported it with a Meccano support beam and suspension to a higher part of the case. So far, this has worked perfectly.
I have a heavy CPU heat sink (Thermalright True Copper) that could easily bend my motherboard with its 2 kg coppery goodness.
To prevent that, I have made an extra support structure using Meccano. Luckily, the distance of the holes was precisely right for the support.
The USofEUis just the desire to become bigger bigger BIGGER MUAHAHAHAHAAH.
The EU is even having longstanding plans to incorporate Turkey, while it is a theocracy where journalists who write critically about the government are 'vanished'...
The EU is just a money game for people high up the asslicking ladder to have their asses licked more thoroughly
They should send somebody from a very small country, so it will be an alien to most of us. Perhaps Paddy Roy Bates from Sealand: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P...
So an employer can either cite a law that allows the company to do this, when a muslim applies for a job, or, as was always the case before these laws, use vague arguments such as 'we have found an other candidate that better fits in the existing team' or 'an other candidate better fits the current company culture.'
So effectively, nothing changes, just the way it is motivated changes.
That is quite surprising, because China is one of the world's biggest manufacturers of solar panels, and has a lot of open area with a lot of sunshine. An much easier and much cheaper solution seems to be at hand.
This makes me think that the orbital city-zappe... uh... I mean... solar power plant is not entirely what it appears to be.
Indeed.
But in defense of OpenCL, These three pages are mostly initialisation stuff. Once you have that done, the remainder of the code is similar in length to the length it would have were it written in CUDA.
That all depends on the graphics you use. I run many games on my 6 year old i7 920, with an equally old NVIDIA GTX 265. The card is old, but for the games I like, it is more than sufficient. It all depends on how much 3D stuff you want to use.
Even if scientists in the Western World ban human editing, there are many parts of the world (For example China; India; South America) where ethics are not always that high up the list of priorities. The technology will be used, as long as there is money to be made by doing so.
From that point of view, we might as well open up the technology for every one to use, and let everybody handle it as he or she sees fit.

They can always join the latest hype and dump all the money in Greece. Dumping tax money abroad is totally fashionable these days
Because it is awesome. And because it cools like crazy. (Thermalright True Copper, with push and pull fan)

before you start useless investigations like this...
I am so ignorant to have absolutely no clue what this is about? What is this 'Prenda' of which you speak?

But the good ones are the first to leave. So at the end of this period, you will only have the idiots left.

I have a few keys, and a cheap plastic Ferrari logo thingy. Fitting well to my cheap rusty but trusty Honda Civic

This reminded me of an experiment from the eighties to detect life on earth, from space. It actually worked:

No company wants to hire a muslim.
So an employer can either cite a law that allows the company to do this, when a muslim applies for a job, or, as was always the case before these laws, use vague arguments such as 'we have found an other candidate that better fits in the existing team' or 'an other candidate better fits the current company culture.'

5 to 6 square kilometers. Or 125 to 150 square furlong, in equestrian racing units, or 45 to 54 square kilofoot, in freedom units.

Secret Service? And we are reading about what it does on Slashdot... Not so so secret, are you?
Yeah, yeah, I got it. No need to put on the sarcasm generator. ;-)
Do they not lease a connection, with a certain speed, and that's that? Data caps are a thing of the nineties...
Is just paying more than you have too for performance, but you get some design in return.
As a developer, it is the performance that counts, so no Apple stuff. Easy as 1-2-3.
Indeed. But in defense of OpenCL, These three pages are mostly initialisation stuff. Once you have that done, the remainder of the code is similar in length to the length it would have were it written in CUDA.
And then, a Hello World in CUDA is about eight lines. A Hello World in OpenCL is three pages.

Gaming on Linux is done with NVIDIA.
The fact that hereditary edits can me made, does not imply that we can immediately cure all hereditary diseases as well.
Although, do not mistake me, I am all for it, were we able to remove those diseases from the world.
