The new era of physics: reality show physics. Follow the hopes and dreams of your favourite physics stars with our live Labcam[tm]. Blew up the only dilithium crystal in the known universe?

Forget coding, nobody actually needs to complete this project to the pointer where it can code, it only needs to get to the point where it can write research proposals.
But the charade is going to continue as long as Intel is able to avoid serious competition with its high margin parts.
Embedded/ultra low power CPUs is where Intel does have serious competition. It's the desktop arena where they have a virtual monopoly.
Yes, and they keep trying to push crappy Atom parts into that market segment to avoid cutting margin on their low power celerons, which are better than Atoms by every measure including power consumption. I thought I already said that?
Even if the NYT was failing, which it is not, expressing himself that way reinforces the widely held impression that he does not act like a president and is not fit to be president. A failing, so-called president if you like.
People have been claiming newspapers are obsolete in some shape or form for 50 years, ever since television became everyone's primary method for keeping up with the news.
It's fair to say that the classic broadsheet is obsolete. Still hanging on at the local community level and motel lobbies, but pretty much fading overall as evidenced by newsprint production statistics.
And who is dominating news on the Internet? Oh, yeah, the newspapers. Most of us have at least one newspaper's website that's on our rotation of sites to check every day, despite the attempts to get us to use news apps or search engine news aggregators - both of which suffer in that they mix the latest from, say, the Daily Mail, with that of The Guardian or Washington Post.
Is Huffington Post a newspaper? I think not. It is a new beast: a news site. The New York Times is able to avoid obsolescence exactly to the extent that it is able to transform itself from a newspaper to a news site, which appears to be proceeding well, tweets from liar-in-chief notwithstanding.
We all know why he does that - spread enough misinformation about a companies situation and eventually enough people get spooked to make it true.
Indeed, that is Trump's reason at one level level. The overarching reason is that Trump is a self-serving thug who seeks to profit from undermining the democratic institutions of his homeland.
So it's like taking Pentium 3 and hacking on extras from Pentium 4 (the actual innovations around the core, not the GHz race) to make Pentium M, then putting several of these on a single die to make the Core series?
It's not like that. It's like inventing a new execution unit primarily intended to preserve high margins on core architecture chips by delivering substantially worse superscalar performance. Billed as power efficient, the latest generation with out of order execution still delivers worse performance at the low power end then celerons. It's a scam. Intel knows what to do to make Atom not suck: just throw it away and use core arch. But the charade is going to continue as long as Intel is able to avoid serious competition with its high margin parts.
I think that many people do not understand just now much the kernel dominates the thing the call "operating system". Some people might not even know that Linux runs a whole separate user space, complete with libraries and root filesystem, just to do bootup initialization, especially installing hardware drivers (initfs). No question whatsoever that that is all Linux, right? Then you have libraries, only a few of which are considered part of the "OS", including graphics and UI support, which are already in that gray area where marketing calls it OS but the computer science prof does not, then the vast majority of what's on the computer... applications... which are very clearly not OS. Really, you only need a very thin library, basically just Libc, in addition the Linux kernel, in order to run some serious machinery, for example, a web server. By the way, initfs does not use Gnu libc, it uses klibc, written by Peter Anvin, a kernel developer.
Ahem, someone with mod points has an issue with the truth and lacks a moral compass. Microsofty? Somebody who has a whole bunch invested in trying to spin Linux as not having achieved what it has.
Only market droids and technodunces buy the bullshit that the userspace skin is the OS. Anybody with a slilght clue understands that an operating system does scheduling, virtual memory, manages devices, etc etc. And has a user space that can easy be mischaracterized by marketdroids.
You can get console on Android and poke around. Its Linux. Some top level dirs moved around for completely bogus reasons, but it's Linux. It runs Linux binaries.
say what you want about Windows but I can grab a windows laptop and inside of 10 minutes be booting into anything from BSD to Zorin OS, just try that on a Chromebook
Right. I used to think that Microsoft was completely useless, but now I view them as a source of cheap PCs for running Linux.
the community acknowledges that "the kernel is not Linux"?
You must be talking about some other community, because the one I am in is not confused about whether Linux is Linux, and Android is Linux.
Well sheeit, by that metric you could claim Linux "won" half a decade ago since all those cheapo locked down routers used by millions are using the Linux kernel as part of the embedded OS.
Correct, Linux won about half a decade ago. Actually, further back, but let's not niggle. Some mopping up still to do.
My TV has not seen an update since 2011. It is an kernel from ~2008. I seriously doubt anyone is going to do anything about it including me.
It probably works fine and you know you want a bigger panel anyway, with 10 bit color depth, 4 times the resolution, twice the frame rate and 10 more inches diagonal, all for the same price.

Cue astroturf invective from aging Microsoft lifers, bitter that they backed the wrong horse.
3... 2... 1...
Linux arrived late and didn't had the support of hardware manufacturers.
Intel has the support of the most important hardware manufacturer of all: Intel. Not to mention many others, but Intel is the elephant.

It's even easier than that. Just specify that requirements must be delivered in the form of functioning code.
"Is developing", not "has developed". I understand that Dr Frankenstein was developing a perfect human, made of snippets gathered from graveyards.
Embedded/ultra low power CPUs is where Intel does have serious competition. It's the desktop arena where they have a virtual monopoly.

Slashdot posts a couple of articles a week that invite Trump bashing.
Yes, it's trolling in a good way.

Right, so insightful. The only real question remaining in consumer's minds these days is whether to buy their dangerous device from Samsung or Apple
Let me break it down for you: high end phone for a low end price. Everybody's a winner.
So it's like taking Pentium 3 and hacking on extras from Pentium 4 (the actual innovations around the core, not the GHz race) to make Pentium M, then putting several of these on a single die to make the Core series?

Dota 2 is the big money game.
OK, somebody has a lot of skin in this "Android is not Linux" game. Sucks to be you.
Technically 'Linux' only refers to the kernel...
I think that many people do not understand just now much the kernel dominates the thing the call "operating system". Some people might not even know that Linux runs a whole separate user space, complete with libraries and root filesystem, just to do bootup initialization, especially installing hardware drivers (initfs). No question whatsoever that that is all Linux, right?

Linux is a kernel, not an OS although we think of it that way.
No, you think of it that way because you do not know what you are talking about. The software that supports a computer's basic functions, such as scheduling tasks, executing applications, and controlling peripherals. Hint: if it doesn't have a scheduler, it's not an operating system.
Ahem, someone with mod points has an issue with the truth and lacks a moral compass. Microsofty? Somebody who has a whole bunch invested in trying to spin Linux as not having achieved what it has.
The netmarketshare Linux share increased by a factor of 1.13 since the July article.

I use Linux on the desktop for everything other than gaming.
Dota 2: faster and less stuttering on Linux than Windows. What else really matters?
