Why not a smartphone app that hooks into the mapping/GPS/nav services, shows a large flashing arrow and reads out navigationally with vocal commands via a bluetooth earphone?
Yeah, it could even have voice recognition capabilities so that you can speak to it and ask it how to get to location XYZ.
I should go patent that before someone else.... aw dammit!!
So in violation of/. convention, I went ahead and read TFA in hopes that were would actually be something more than "we solved yet another parallel computing problem with GPUs." Nope, nothing. Not even some useless eye candy of a graph showing two columns of before/after processing times.
And the article just *had* to be split into two pages because it would have killed them to include that tiny boilerplate footer on page one. What a fail...at least it wasn't a blatant slashvertisement!
That's okay, they'll just buy up the company that came up with this technology and we'll see it as the next replacement for the finger scanner somewhere around the iPhone 7S timeframe.
I imagine that at the time, 32MB would have been a retarded waste of RAM for most people--
ObM$Bashing:
Have you see what windows does with RAM these days? There are several 32MB chunks of "restarted waste of RAM" scattered about the address space.
It's a combination of carrier & device. iPhones on Verizon have been getting these alerts for quite some time now. AT&T is the one "catching up" as you say.
Yeah, "nothing you could do." Except, maybe, TURN OFF that type of alert in your settings? So you were inconvenienced once because of your ignorance about the included features of the phone. How is that anyone else's fault?
There are plenty of settings on my phone (any tons of other devices & applications) for which I do not agree with the default value of. That is why one of my first tasks is to peruse ALL the options and set them up according to my personal preferences. That is, after all, what those settings screens are there for in the first place.
I'm sure there are some choice sentences in the installation/operating instructions of these new-fangled STBs that explain how they MUST be located in a specific position relative to your TV. You know, for "optimal performance" and whatnot.

SWOOSH!

I believe the plural of Columnbus is Columbii.
"...where even without internet access, malware can infect systems..."
What a preposterous thought! There is absolutely no way a virus could spread to other computers without ... The Internet!
And when it malfunctions⦠You have a GIR
2^3 = 10 ?? Must be that "new math" they are teaching these days, or some very large value for 2.
You don't have to wait for the animation to fully complete. It will unlock even when halfway faded in. Maybe even sooner if you have good aim :)

In Soviet Russia, robot unboxes you!
Fine then. s/penguin/ostrich/g Well shit, looks like they can fly too!
No, it meansturned down.
Turned is a term used in machining, referring to the "turning" action of a Lathe
8 lawnmower engines Ferrari But is it still true that 9 pregnant women can produce a baby in only a month?
If they all happen to be working in a genetics lab on a cloning project, it's entirely possible.
No, but there was definitely a high degree of parallelism going on inside her for approximately 9 months.

That he didn't die of dysentery.
It's because that was added in a later revision of the code.

Geez...doesn't anybody read RTFA?
Your super short summary was still 3 paragraphs long... TL;DR indeed!
... and other such "kiss your ass goodbye" national moments...
Like when dolphins need broadcast "So long, and thanks for all the fish" on their way out?

And I see it as twice as large as necessary you insensitive clod!
Because no one would bother de-soldering the LED off the board.......
"I don't want to know when they are spying on me."
Yeah, that makes sense. A lot.
Just put your STB inside of a small vacuum canister!
(Yes, I realize there are all kinds of problems with that idea...just stop thinking about it and enjoy the humor you oversensitive clod).
