That'd hurt both GPU companies. OpenCL and CUDA are used by both education, science, and big compute industries. That math is is very similar to the same that crypto-currencies use. The sword cuts both ways.
Where Fi really works for me is the per device cost. I've got a phone and cellular tablet but I'm barely using only about.9 - 1.1 GB / month of mobile data between the both of them. Fi only charges for data costs on data-only devices.
So with Fi I'm playing $30-33(+taxes) for both devices. T-mobile wants 90/month for the same number of devices. Even when I was grandfathered in with T-Mobile, It would have been $70/month for both devices on T-Mobile. Verizon wants 75/month for just one line alone... And T-mobile doesn't charge back unused data...
2GB isn't a whole lot of RAM for an android device in the mainstream usage. This should be an optional run mode across all devices. Also what happens as applications grow and increase memory usages over the years?
For example: My 2GB devices may have been more than enough RAM for the apps when I bought it. Now apps are using more and more RAM can't use it like I used to. Why shouldn't I be able to tell the apps to run the lower RAM usage versions?
I think she'd be a good person for the part if she was younger. I'm not talking in a hollywood sense. I'm talking that she nearly 70 and her being an active bounty hunter seems a bit off which Samus is not. If they wanted to use Sigourney for a middle-aged veteran bounty hunter, I'm all for it. I just don't think she a slam dunk for the Samus part.
I agree Metroid could be good in the right hands. The only director I could see doing this well is Ridley Scott. He knows how to get the atmosphere of the movie right and the obviously the creatures.
As for as actresses playing Samus, the actress that first pops into my my head is Scarlett Johansson. She knows the action movie genre and has a good look for the part. Also she understands how to physically talk with her moments in a low dialogue movie.
My biggest problem I find with Perl is that there were SO many ways to express a similar operations, conditionals, etc. While this may be nice for single developer projects, it is utter hell if someone has to read that code. This has happened because of Perl's long life and its iterations to add more and more contemporary programming concepts. This has made it possible (and thus it will happen) to make Perl code a spaghetti mess of syntaxes. This makes perl code difficult to read much less grok.
I'm not saying Perl is the only offender of this. PHP has the same issue with its older functional programming syntax style and its OOP syntax. But PHP has kept it mainly to two styles. Perl has way too many styles so people get lots in syntax and find it hard fallow the code.
There's definitely a market for a Nexus replacement (stock Android, fast updates, medium price ~$400-500 and close to top specs) and I'm curious why companies shun this idea.
Why manufactures don't want to do this? Because there's little profit margin... * The bill of materials (BOM) is a larger portion of the overall cost of the product. * Moderately priced phone with almost all of the features that the consumer wants would undercut their flag ship devices that have bigger margins. * Stock Android doesn't let them make something that's uniquely theirs so you come back to them. It doesn't build brand. * More (fast) updates mean greater development / QA cost with no real benefit to the company. If you add more features, there's less reason to buy new hardware that could possibly be theirs.
I agree that the AMD's k5 were crap. But AMD was good even before they released the Athlon line. My AMD 66 MHz DX2 did loops around my friends Intel Pentium 100Mhz.
The question is that was the content on the website illegal? Hate crime and hate speech are illegal in the US. Organizing protests and objecting to a president's actions or speech is not illegal.
Good, let Google and the opensource community make a UI. Most hardware manufactures do a crap job at it. Now lets actually have some hardware differentiation. Many of these things came from @TechyImmigrant
Physical isolation for dual personalities / dual boot or maybe some hypervisor situation (like for access to a work network).
Isolated dedicated external storage slot per profile
Isolated dedicated SIM slot per profile User Replaceable batteries and placed where 3rd party options are available USB-C with full support for the power delivery specification. Most phones really need fast charging. USB-C is the way to get the voltages you need in an standardized way. An device (phone) with a physical keyboard built in Have an rugged device choice with a better IPS rates at the removable of audio jacks, external storage, and removable battery.
No. The Rysen chips are running cooler than their similar Intel counterparts. Also there TDPs are better too. The days of the FX's heating a room are over.
Raises...? That's funny. Most raises to don't even keep up with the rate of inflation. So effectively everyone who doesn't get a raise equal to the year's rate of inflation, means they are getting a pay cut.
And non-US workers wonder why US works don't use vacation and sick days when they have them...
Companies that get caught doing this need to made an example of. Major fines. The fines can't be small enough for a business to chalk it up to the 'cost of doing business' because that's what they do already.
It's amazing how many 'power' issues there are with remote Indian support centers. If it truly is the power issues, way are aren't there rigorous disaster plans because these power issues are so common. If they are in place, and they still aren't helping, then why are building these data centers / support centers there anyway? If the country has an unstable power grid or is prone to natural disaster that cause issues, once again, why are there data centers there in the first place?
It sounds like someone is blowing smoke up someone's butt. The question is, where is that smoke starting....
I think you need to your asking too much and forgot some important aspect. No one cares about SPDIF. Also GPU repleacement... really? "Plenty of useful ports." What the heck does that mean? This is a laptop, space is limited, 'unlimited space' is the realm of mid-towers.
Here are some things I'd love to see in a laptop. - Long, exchangeable battery - At least 4 USB ports. One still being USB 2.0 for those damn non-forward compatible devices - 4-ring analog input/output (if you need more audio options, get a USB / Thunderbolt DAC/ADC.) Hardware disable switch - Thunderbolt based Docking port. None of this proprietary crap. - Replaceable RAM, Hard drive with industry standard connections. - Latest in WiFi technology - A DAMN pointing stick/trackpoint option - Optional numpad keyboard layout - A high DPI/PPI screen. I don't have to be the latest and greatest, but you need at least 300. This is to reduce eye strain. - Optional High Dynamic Range color gamut without going to 4K screens. HDR give a better screen quailty. That doesn't mean you need the expense of the extra resolution and the bigger batter drain because of it. I'd love to see 1080p HDR screens.
XML didn't kill RSS Feeds. Switching to JSON isn't going to help it either. What is killing RSS Feeds? It is the big social media data silos. Facebook, Google+, maybe Twitter.
Facebook is the 200lbs elephant in the room so I'll point to them. Instead of letting end-users select what RSS feeds / 'subscriptions' they wanted to add to their timeline, Facebook made their own non-standardize API that that content authors need to work with in order to let the end-users access the content the way they want. Google+ did the same thing. This takes time and energy from the content creators which is a limited resource. Instead of building an RSS aggregator in to their social media site, those companies decided to create custom APIs that can only be used with 'their' social media site. All of these moves are to get you consuming on their site and not how you'd want consume it.
Just because some processing power gains don't apply to you doesn't mean that don't happen or exist.
And you lucky you to live in place that has reliable and cheap power. Not everyone has that luxury. Places in the world that need to have reliable computing with unreliable power have to make sure that have properly scaled generators and power storage. This limits what they can run. If some lower power chip comes out with
the same Ghz, it extends their ability to process.
I agree. That's why I moved to Linux Mint Mate for desktops. Ubuntu's version of Mate that I was using on 14.04 was old had still had lots of not-so minor bugs. I still use Ubuntu LTS for servers. There is don't have to deal with Ubuntu's GUI craziness.

But don't worry, it will never be rolled out in your area because of the incumbent's monopoly.

Now we maybe we'll be get some decent gun control legislation passed.
Don't worry, Comcast will make it back. Especially now that Tom Wheeler is gone and we have this corporate cronie running the FCC.
