Personally, when reading pdf articles, the difference between 1080p and 4k make a world of difference. The aliasing is almost invisible in 4K. Also, thin diagonal lines in plots are much more clearly defined. Because this difference is so large, I have little doubt that 8k will also make a difference, although maybe not as much as from 2k to 4k. I have not yet had the pleasure of comparing video on 1080p and 4k.
As soon as we have 8k video commonly available, which could be as soon as 2020, if Japan gets to host the Olympic Games, we will run out of storage, out of bandwidth, and there is not even a standard for an optical disc that can hold the data, at the moment. So our period of rest will not be too long.
So what would be the difference between SSDs for gamers and those for non-gamers? The specs appear to be fairly normal high end for the current SSD market, but nothing exceptional. Maybe a sticker on it displaying a demon wielding an oversized SF gun?
Wantint to breed give rise to higher degree of civilisation in what way, exactly? The people that breed a lot tend not to be part of the civilised part of society.
Indeed, otherwise heat pipes would not be so fashionable, these days. It is simply because they work. And if we have a look at air coolers and their reviews, the cooling capacity is not very strongly related to the surface area. It was even remarked that modern heat sinks place the fins too close together, and that air had difficulty going between them. That heat sinks with the fins wider apart, and as such less total area, were more effective coolers.
And it is quite easy to get dust out of a finned cooler. But getting dust out of a copper sponge is different matter altogether.
Kimberley did a great job here. I hope she gets a promotion over this fuzz. It would be well deserved. I cannot travel first class with my family, when I am the only one of my family with a first class ticket. And as such, he cannot have priority boarding with his children, when only he has priority boarding. Easy as that.
This factor of 500 is a strange number. The copper fins of my CPU-heatsink also have a quite a large total area. A claim of two orders of magnitude needs a bit more justification than just a mention. Otherwise is just seems like a movie title.
The underachieving kids are usually held back by their parents. If their parents can be convinced that it is a good idea that their child is educated, half of the work is done.
I do not think the internet is the answer to young children. It is used only to shout "yolo" on network sites, post naked selfies and hashtags and whatsapp messages and [pick your deity] knows what. Is this is an advantage to a child? The amount of information bashing on a child's brain is so massive that it can no longer make the distinction between relevant information and nonsense. Parents of children that do not have a computer and/or internet are usually not capable of teaching their child to make this distinction.
You may call me old fashioned, but school going children would have a bigger advantage learning their native language properly. In my country, people write job application letters with dozens of language errors, because they literally do not know any better, because that was all they needed to communicate with others over the internet. Next they are surprised and threaten the potential employer when explained that that is not the way to go. The conventional library is the way to go.
The past years have taught that releases by EA are not finished and not reliable. Because they keep selling software to customers, they get away with this, though. The only way to educate this company would be by wallet.
Child pornography is the Digital Godwin. So if budget has to be made available, and ridicule from the thinking part of the world ensured, this is a valid argument.
It is about early to ask about smart watches. How about first asking what it would take people to buy a smart phone, or a smart television?
Personally, perhaps threats of cruel death, on all three accounts.
In the Netherlands, many immigrants drive old run-down mercedeses, because of status, and because they are fairly cheap to buy. However, they cannot afford the maintenance, which is rather expensive with old run-down cars. I can imagine a similar situation in the US.
But for road maintenance there is car ownership tax (called road tax) 30 to a 100 dollars per months, depending on car size and weight. And rush hour tax coming soon. Fuel tax is just general income for the government.
The first prototypes for 4K and 8K were demonstrated at the same time, somewhere about 2010. I think we are moving a bit fast through the standards, hence I will skip the 4K hype and perhaps I will hop back on the pixel train when 8K monitor enter production, in about 5 years. Moreover, edgelit panels will likely have vanished completely, by then.
And that is why Dutch customers prefer foreign hard disks, which do not have the movie-industry-fee on it. I have bought hundreds of empty CDroms in Germany, in bygone years. That was 20% to 30% cheaper, without the music/movietax:)

going down the drain. They probably have a bigger chance of profit and fame were they do check Mersenne numbers with all that CPU power.

The article clearly mentions 'tiny'. Now in Dune they are all but that.
... required to operate those space mechs? Child Labour is frowned upon, these enlightened days.

The 10-core Xeon E7 4860 is 2.26 GHz, for example. The processor was available from February this year and costs 5k euro, or almost 7k USD.

Very low quality pdf, and in Dutch... but it is what you asked for. :)
