ISPs pay by the bandwidth used. The price you pay for your home internet doesn't cover the cost to your ISP if you used the max bandwidth 24/7. If it did, it would be much more expensive.
By making rules like this, they are protecting mom and dad who don't use the internet much from having to subsidize joe hacker running a porn site out of his home.
Imagine if you paid for gas by the month. Would it be ridiculous if they said you weren't allowed to drive a commercial semi and fuel it there? No. You'd have to buy another plan and pay a bunch more.
You would simply go to the players' union and ask for permission. All the players in the union will have pre-agreed to allow the union to bargain for the palyers as a group. That's what unions do.
that's what the unions are for. It's not going to be hard to make a game, but the athletes will be paid for their likeness.
I'm not sure how I feel about this. I don't think that a famous person should have their likeness used for anything any commercial venture wants to use it for. What if they made a baby-killing simulator and used his likeness. Shouldn't he be able to stop that?
With regards to biographies, it seems like that should fall under news/reporting and be excepted.
The goal of a company isn't to move units, it's to make money. Saying they could move units if they sold them -- what amounts to basically giving them away -- isn't a revelation.
I mean.. it depends on the speed of the treadmill and the friction of the wheels and the ability of the rubber to not disintegrate.
From a physics problem perspective, which is the only situation where a question like this is appropriate, this type of thing is usually ignored, and has no effect.
Like I said, the treadmill is meaningless. It's *EXACTLY* the same (assuming frictionless wheels - but relative to the engine thrust they may as well be) as if the plane is on a regular, boring, non-moving runway.
Uhh.. I think you're putting way too much into this.
The wheels can spin as fast as they want and will not create a significant amount of drag on the airplane. This means the treadmill has (virtually) no effect.
Second, the engines produce thrust regardless of whether air is going across the wings. This will generate forward movement which WILL cause air to move across the wings and generate lift. But if the air is stable, the plane will go forward, not stand still.
The whole treadmill thing is a red herring and has no effect on the problem.
The reason for the question is that nothing in Moore's law says anything about single-threaded performance doubling every 1.5 years as many thing.
Moore's law is the observation that, over the history of computing hardware, the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles approximately every two years.
It really doesn't seem like portability should be a huge goal for writing code for top-100 supercomputers. The cost of the computer would dwarf (or at least be a significant portion of) the cost of developing the software for it. It seems like writing purpose-built software for this type of machine would be desirable.
If you can cut the cost of the computer in half by doubling the speed of the software, it seems a valid fiscal tradeoff, and the way to do that would be to write it for purpose-built hardware.
Why did you even say this? "PC users" aren't even mentioned in this article. This article is about supercomputers where the workloads are by virtual definition extremely parallel and the restrictions are around price and power consumption, not "FPS on a single game".
Basically the rebellion knows that lawyers maintain order in society and in order to throw it into chaos they need to get rid of the lawyers.
Also,
"The first thing we do," said the character in Shakespeare's Henry VI, is "kill all the lawyers." Contrary to popular belief, the proposal was not designed to restore sanity to commercial life. Rather, it was intended to eliminate those who might stand in the way of a contemplated revolution -- thus underscoring the important role that lawyers can play in society.

They pay for the infrastructure required to route that traffic, even if what you say is true -- though I'd be interested in sources for that.
It's still reasonable for them to say you didn't pay for 100% 24/7 utilization.
They've already said that if you stay under their radar you're going to be fine anyhow.

Hrmm.. I don't know.
wow.. I'm in the wrong place.

apple gave people money back for original iphone purchases after the very early price drop. If apple will do it, it means it's possible for anyone.
(I think it was an apple store gift card, but still.. if you bought an early-release iphone, that's as good as cash)
hard core gamers never left pc.
with home theaters getting better and more affordable movie theaters need to be better. giving in would make me even less likely to go.
its a dying business but no need to hurry it up.
Is accidentally leaving a copy somewhere copyright infringement? How do they know the person they sold it to is the person who leaked it.
Also, it's never been clear to me when copyright infringement actually occurs.

Huh? you're right, but that's what I said, too.
The treadmill can move as fast as it wants, assuming the wheels don't fall apart.

Turns out the F-35 program is a red herring to the chinese!
Now THEY can spend billions trying to get it to work!
German beers don't have to do this anymore, so there is no actual worry about getting in trouble.
Lots of German beers don't conform to the very narrow ingredient list anymore and the world is a better place for it.

You know this because you run large-scale datacenters running millions of machines?
You know this is a common misinterpretation, right?
