It's my representatives that are the problem. By the time I get to vote, the field has already narrowed to all unacceptable candidates, so frankly I don't think there's any hope. The system will have to melt down to be changed.
Boy, no kidding. The democrats should be harping non-stop on the fact that congressional republicans are blocking them on getting troops out of Iraq. And frankly, they should have made a stand and refused continuing funding for the war effort. Not doing either of those has utterly screwed their positioning for the next election. Worse, Democrats seem bent on picking the one candidate who could possibly lose to a republican in the next presidential election.
My 10x was referring to the expected/average number of successful program/erase cycles. The expected lifetime gets multiplied by that, and then multiplied again if you don't write at maximum bandwidth 24/7.
Samsung claims an mtbf of 2,000,000 hours, which is only ~200 years, not 26,000. I've seen some specs listing 300,000 program/erase cycles, minimum, which would boost your 2 years to 6, and note that that's their minimum guarantee, the average lifetimes are expected to be considerably (as much as 10x) higher. Presumably these devices just write off a page if it goes bad.
I'd have to say that this person's trade is link farming. It's clearly how he makes his money. And so, within the domain of internet domain names, his trademark would seem to be valid for pursuit against any web site. If, of course, he had such a trademark.
Yes, if you watch to the very end of the video, the little super mouse just spontaneously combusts. It was pretty sad really, I bet the researchers felt pretty bad about that.
Those administrative fees are typically huge (in excess of 30% in most state lotteries, not factoring in the take for the prizes of ~50%). You might feel even better donating a dollar every other week, and playing the lottery on the alternate weeks.
Plus, come on, if you win the lotto, surely you'll come rub it in our faces at least once before you go!
The odds can't possibly be in the ballpark of being hit by lightning 10 times, or even 2 times, as there have been many, many big lottery winners, and I have only heard of a couple of people who have been struck by lightning twice.
Absolutely. My point was only that video games are not in a category of 'can't use multiple cores'. At all. They would love to have tons of cores. Whether or not their user base has multiple cores, is an entirely different question.
Sure. And the Simpson's game mixing in a bit of gta, with some humor seems equally innovative. Which was the original point I was making, if you follow the thread up the tree.
10% of the populace = ~35 million people. That's plenty of business for a lot of restaurants. Margins at that end of the spectrum are much better than at the lower end, which means a smaller market can support a surprising number of successful businesses.
On the one hand, while they might more accurately have said 'theoretically cannot contain all of the data'.... never is not an outrageous substitution.
On the other hand, technically, it is indeed wrong, because I guarantee you the analog groove has no more than atomic or planck precision.
On the gripping hand, recording the grooves with planck precision in a digital form would take a lot of hard drive space.
On whatever you call the 4th hand, you'd reach the limits of human hearing substantially before you'd need the planck or atomic accuracy.

And it would have been so easy to work in a postal service truck. What a grand missed opportunity.

It seems like firing him over that would be asking for a huge lawsuit considering how the CEO met his wife.
Being sacked by Bill Gates is a fate worse than death, just ask Melinda.
Inappropriate work relationship seems unlikely given the Bill/Melinda situation.

Heck, I would vote for him because I genuinely believe he'd be more competent than any other candidate.
Ah, possibly, I may have misread that.
Still, what kind of person condemns ten others to be struck by lightning for money?

The obvious key problem being that one is not a very long word. Even click at 5 letters is hardly a big winner for scrabble.

Video games are very parallelizable at the render and physics layers. They'll have no problem usefully scaling to hundreds of cores.

I guess based on the phrasing I had thought the OP was citing that as a regular occurrence.
Nevertheless, if you make 2x the median, even that puts you in the top 20%, probably the top 15%. You're not far off from the top 10%.
A mix of d2, smb, spyhunter, carmageddon, deathrace2000, syndicate.
Other than going more gory, there's not much innovative gameplay wise.
Rockstar's games (well, at least Bully and GTA, I don't know any of their other games) are extremely derivative.
I don't see why. Carbon exists in the universe, which at least theoretically started only with a combination of hydrogen, temperature, and pressure.

Mod parent +5 funny. That totally cracked me up.
