with satellites, big doses of uncontained radioactive materials? Shouldn't such materials be "glowing" to sensitive sensors from the space or something ?
wouldn't an embedded in the cpu xeon phi version, lack the necessary GDDR4/5 which exists in the PCI-express card version with its 200-300GB/s of throughput, and be forced to just access the main computer RAM at about 40-50GB/s?
Such races are very good for the overall development and progress of computing, as the new technologies that will be developed will eventually be used in desktops and mobile computing.
There are still challenges like the interconnects and the power draw, but IMHO these are problems that eventually will be solved.
POV-Ray: noun, the software ray tracer that could but didn't. Bloatware is known to reach sooner their next version than POV-Ray. It's also the ray-tracer which is coded for people living in a planet without GPUs.

just because apple sells more iphones than before doesn't mean it's going well. That just happens because the market itself is expanding and has not reached yet its maximum. the minute the market saturates - since there can't be infinite growth - apple will sell for that moment MORE IPHONES than before and will own like 5% of the marketshare. From that point and on it can only go downwards. That's why hard figures YOY or QOQ don't matter, but marketshare.
with smartphones as in the 80s with the computers. It followed a practice of a closed ecosystem, keeping everything proprietary and trying to control everything. Android today is what IBM and compatible was back in the day. The same way apple computers became just a niche market back then, iphones are becoming right now.
oh really? then why don't you - who obviously are not as deluded as the rest of the scientists - enlighten them and us about your centuries forward way of thinking by actually putting your claims to work ?

universal DPI (like for example 300PPI - god i fucking hate inches, metric ftw) and build every display with that standard density?
Yeah I know depending on the viewing distance, a 200PPI display could be the same as a 300PPI device viewed from a shorter distance.

or the "not invented here" post.
yeah geostationary orbit sounds like way far way, but maybe could be from satellites oribiting ~500km over the blue dot

IF intel would allow nvidia to print its chips @ intel (and I say if, because they now are kind of competitors with the xeon phi and co. ).
expect a number of science supporters who will bite and answer (with examples such as climate modelling) the troll's flamebait in 3 .. 2 ... 1...

yes we already know he didn't blow up the king and the parliament :p

i pity the fool
thanks, you're absolutely right and btw I meant abandonware, not bloatware. Bloatware doesn't make sense in that sentence. Greek is my first language.
sorry, i meant to say "abandonware is known to reach..."

I guess that's why atari does not exist today, while apple sits on 100 billion of usd :P (i'm not an apple fanboy btw)
the performance of your employees is, there will always be a top 10% and a bottom 10% in the bell curve or in any other system that is.

since every new version is twice as faster as the previous one, given the fact that we see new versions in less than 18 months.
unless apple's engineers are optimizing this infamous loop:
for(i=0;i1000000000;i++);
comes to mind with the vice president's ( the "walking dude" aka randall flagg actor from stephen king's "the stand" ) murder in the same way.
but does google offer google fiber for businesses for those who want to host their own servers ? Or the only service they offer is for home users ?

does the simplification that it mentions, mean that simulations will be way faster? does it in any way affect the n-body problem simulations ?

does someone really BUY the dvd boxset of the vampire diaries? Now I do watch the series mostly out of habit now, but buying it? I mean seriously?
