And I think that will happen when 4k TV takes off. I don’t hear anybody talking about shipping physical media for that format.
No way will this work. Bandwidth caps as they are today will prevent people from downloading 4k video. Here's a reference to a 4k documentary that is 160GB. Does that sound like something that's going to fly with the ISPs we currently have?
So because he can name the parts of SpaceX and their general function, you have decided that he knows more about hydrogen than a random Slashdot account? I'm not personally attacking him so calm down.
Besides, you'd still have to get around the problem of hydrogen making steel brittle.
No, I don't. I'm not trying to do anything with Hydrogen. I'm just refuting the idea that Elon Musk is an expert on metallurgy and hydrogen chemistry, just because he is CEO of a "rocket" company.
Would a fellow that runs a successful rocket company not know a little something about hydrogen?
What does running a company have to do with technical knowledge? I'm sure a CEO of a "rocket" company would have to have some knowledge about hydrogen, but I would not quote them as an expert on the subject.
A Bank of America card I have has the feature. I have no relationship with BoA other than the card, and I only have it because they bought out the bank I originally had the card with. The temporary CC # feature is enough for me to keep the card around.
... and my current pet peeve are entities that have an upper limit to password length within the current range of rainbow-table attacks
Do people still use rainbow tables. I was under the impression that they become prohibitively large after a certain length. I've not seen too many sites that don't let you go to at least 10 characters. That should get you out of the realm of rainbow tables.
You might not know all the best practices then. That strong passphrase should not be used anywhere else. That way it is useless to anyone that cracks it.
Those 38 million people take the heat off me. I don't reuse passwords. A compromise like this will get them my password to an obviously insecure site. That password will not work for anything else. On the other hand they have 38 million other passwords to use. My information will quickly be found to be of little value and they'll move on.
It's like the idea that if a bear starts chasing you and another person. You don't have to outrun the bear, just the other person.
And to be extra paranoid, I have a credit card that allows me to create temporary CC numbers that are only valid at one location for a certain dollar amount. This way Credit Card information can't be reused anywhere else either.
GTA was traditionally not about being real, or living out crime fantasies - more about having fun doing silly things. IV felt like it took itself too seriously sometimes, but hopefully V is back to form.
If we want to get technical GTA was originally about stealing cars, with some elements of gang warfare... And before people think I'm misunderstanding the original game, it was from a top down perspective and was out before the PS2 was a thing.
is primarily tweens and teens who worship Bieber, Swift, and company... not you/. eggheads.
Sorry, wrong. GTA V is rated M, so it's not supposed to be for tweens and teens. Although I'm positive a lot of them will play the game, I would wager the target market is 20 something and 30 something males.
I had to stop playing Fallout because it corrupted my autosave one too many times. That is just fucking unacceptable. No GTA title has ever done that to me, although I'm sure it's happened to someone somewhere somewhen.
I have indeed had this problem with a GTA game. GTA Vice City had a save game corrupting error. If you saved the game at Cherry Poppers Ice Cream Company, you would not be able to load the game any more. You would also have lost a lot of time as it's only available a bit into the game. I know it's not the best citation but here's the page at gta.wikia.com. I've had no other problems with the games and enjoy them all, but that corrupted save file pissed me off and really soured me on the Vice City one.
so, a service pack for a 3 year old piece of software is evidence that windows will continue to follow the service pack model? Win 8.1 is the service pack to Win 8
And with PAE your phone can use more than 4GB of RAM. Do you think a phone will have a single process that will need more than 4GB of RAM anytime soon?
32-bit can address up to 4GB of RAM. So 32-bit will be fine until they create a phone with > 4GB of RAM.
Seriously, has no one here heard of Physical Address Extension? 32-bit architectures can definitely access more than 4GB of RAM. There are MS Server 2008 editions that can access 64GB. MS uses it as leverage to get customers to buy more expensive SKUs. A single process is what is limited to 4GB on a 32-bit system.
I think they should add another option to partially enable javascript. By that I mean enable javascript for the current domain, but disable it for all other domains.
Google Docs could be written to be a native app that access data from Google servers. There's pluses and minuses to both approaches. Anyone that is willing to tic the box and turn of Javascript should be aware that an app like Google Docs will require it on. I'd like to see some data on the number of people that turn this off and really can't figure out why things aren't working right.
if they do they intentionally put themselves in a disadvantage.
Notice your use of the term 'intentionally'. Are there really a large number of users that get into the configuration menu to turn off javascript and then can't figure out why the internet is broken. A good percentage of sites will flat out tell you that javascript is disabled and you need to enable it to use the site. I don't see why this option can't persist.
Why don't you put something on your index page that detects if javascript is enabled and show a message that it is required. There are plenty of sites that are perfectly useable without javascript enabled. More importantly to me, there are even more sites that can be useable if I allow scripts from their domain, but still block scripts from other domains.
This is why you shouldn't be categorizing things into broad categories. You might not like some of the things that fit the definition of the category.
For a nuke that killed 100,000 people, you could call it, "a nuclear bomb that killed 100,000 people". What would you call a nuclear bomb in the middle of the desert that killed a couple of people? That's not exactly 'mass destruction'.

Whoosh you say? So your story is that you intentionally misused Volts as a unit of charge?
Besides, you'd still have to get around the problem of hydrogen making steel brittle.
No, I don't. I'm not trying to do anything with Hydrogen. I'm just refuting the idea that Elon Musk is an expert on metallurgy and hydrogen chemistry, just because he is CEO of a "rocket" company.
Why does everyone seem to think fuel cells can only run on pure Hydrogen? Why not use a methanol fuel cell?
PE ratio. What are these earnings it mentions?
Would a fellow that runs a successful rocket company not know a little something about hydrogen?

I'd mod you funny if I had points. I haven't heard a reference to BC since I had the Colecovision game BC's quest for tires.
You forgot kids in a sandbox and 2 girls 1 cup.
I think the later is covered by NumberGenderNumberContainer as that is exactly what it is.

If you want options, don't run Windows. Get a Linux distro and make all the choices you want.
I am not surprised that Microsoft decided against supporting several different approaches to the same thing and made a choice on the start screen.
That would be one of the pluses of the web app approach. I also didn't mention that there would be a single native app for every platform.
