They will make judgements based on email addresses. They may be able to rationalise them. The rationalisations may or may not make sense but they will still make judgements.
You can either change human nature or change your email address.
Yes, and you can get a lot of 16GB MicroSD cards in one of those things. Still need to get the data off the card onto the PC though.
This sort of thing can also apply to very fast network connections. If the processor is slow and the software inefficient you lost a lot of bandwidth as buffers fill while waiting for the CPU to actually copy the data, and packets are rejected. Well, in practice it doesn't actually happen because network engineers use a fast enough machine, but it's a factor to consider.
For that matter, how much information can you send if you load up a 16-Gb USB drive (or a few) and send them off in a tube?
You have a last mile (or last metre) problem there though. Getting the data through the tube will take seconds. Minutes at most. 16GB through USB2 will take a few minutes even if you actually do get the maximum theoretical throughput.
Yes. Vector processing is a useful addition, which explains why many modern chips implement it:)
Despite the waste, x86 instructions are still really compact compared to normal RISC instructions.
Is this really an advantage though? Pipelined processors are much simpler when you can just grab 32 bits (or whatever) for an instruction. I'm not a hardware guy (have worked on a CPU design but was involved more in the compiler side) but it seems that it makes more sense to be consistent. Size of binary hasn't been a factor for years, even on handhelds.
Modern x86 gives you 16 integer registers, the same as ARM.
x86-64 made some great improvements. What did Intel actually do? Is this an entire parallel instruction set? I will admit to being a bit of a dunce when it comes to this. Can we multiply using a different result register than AX:DX (this one has always annoyed me)
If there is a difference worth mentioning, it's that x86 chips are often designed to dynamically map the architectural registers onto over 100 hidden implementation-specific registers. This can even be done for memory in some cases.
The clever stuff that x86 chips do with register renaming and out of order execution is quite brilliant. It makes them great for running existing code. Still, it makes more sense to leave optimisations to the compiler rather than on-the-fly in silicon. And the conditional execution is a useful feature that I really can't do without.
In other words, a pig will fly if you provide enough thrust.
Lol. True. It does seem though that the comparison is between a nimble stunt plane and an H-4 Hercules (maybe unfair. an x86 is pretty useful, the Spruce Goose wasn't).
For a desktop PC the ability to run most PC applications is extremely important. For a smartphone, who cares? I don't want to run Paintshop Pro, Word, or Call of Duty on my smartphone. The apps that I do want to run already work on ARM. I do want low power. The improvements Intel has made are barely significant next to ARM's huge advantage here.
RISC was actually developed because most people were using compilers, so instructions for things such as BCD and ASCII and such were seen as a pointless waste of silicon.
The main point of RISC is that it's cheaper. This isn't about penny pinching. It means that a chip of the same cost can work faster.
Plus if we're looking at any modern CPU vs. x86, the extra registers are very useful for optimisation. It's a lot easier to keep a value in a register if there are more of them.
Nexus is a generic word. However, Nexus One is a direct reference to the Nexus Six in Blade Runner - or at least that's what the plaintiff will try to prove. The Nexus in the movie is not a direct reference and nobody should think it is.
Well, CDs use 14 physical bits for each 8 bits of data - the extra data being error correcting information. If you're willing to sacrifice some of that then you could store more data that way with a firmware upgrade. Not the same technique of course.
The same basic hardware can be used to read more data. Sega's GDROM drive in the Dreamcast used CD-ROM parts so I suspect that you probably could store more data just by adjusting some timing.
Nobody ever told me to take 10 off for every 20; if I did that I would have flunked out.
Really? I studied for 30 minutes and took a 15 minute break. Stopped earlier if I was feeling tired. Worked 9-5 every working day and had the evening to myself. I didn't flunk out. I knew the meaterial much better than the people who stared at textbooks for 12 hours at a stretch.
Am I lazy? Who cares? My results were the same as yours and it sounds like I had less stress. Am I stupid? Well, I got a good grade, so once again, who cares?
The trouble with selling this argument is that nothing is entering the public domain so we don't have a nice poster child of something based on a newly public domain work.
This is exactly the sort of the The Yes Menthrive on. Nobody was looking at the parody websites. Now everyone knows Environment Canada has a poor policy.
The Yes Men's entire raisin d'etre is publicity. It would make sense for them to specifically choose ISPs that are willing to roll over easily.
This is vague musing hoping that someone else can expand.
The BBC Micro's BASIC had a series of plot and draw routines built in. It was fun actually getting something tangible out of very limited beginner's knowledge.
Not sure whether something with built in OpenGL would work. The basic GL operations are very flexible and easy to understand. Downsides are that actually setting up a window is a more effort than just typing "MODE 0" and glut is slightly distracting from a low level understanding.
It's not like the X-factor winner's song sold badly. A song that gets to number 2 has made incredible profits. And it's unlikely that RATM displace many sales. The facebook campaign has made huge profits for both.
Sure, occasionally it's essential that something has to be delivered the next day. In general, working longer hours doesn't reduce development times. It tires out developers and produces shoddy results.
Work to reach specific goals. You shouldn't need to stay late to show solidarity because there should be no occasions when they're all working late for extended periods.

Well, I've noticed a fraction of a second can take years sometimes depending on the context.

ARM: Low power.
x86: Runs most desktop PC applications.

After 1980, the amount of text plummets considerably. Even the wordy ones typically only have half a column of text. I wonder what caused this shift.
I never liked Quake as much. Duke was fun and funny and brightly coloured with interesting worlds.
Quake was technically much better but I found the whole thing a little drab, being in shades if grey and brown.
Oky, there were probably other aspects to Quake that make some people prefer it, but a lot of it is subjective.

It will work just as well at 25fps, 60fps, even 42.77654fps. Maybe you'll have trouble below 24fps but the main importance is consistency.

Okay... but that doesn't explain where babies come from!
That is indeed a big problem. However, the submitter seems to think it's his problem.
Certainly, a professional will solve these problems but there's a big difference between being a professional and being a doormat.
