No that's what they used to use... these days they have gotten very good at cloning western technology and manufacturing them better, they just haven't gotten down the original design part yet - not that it's an obstacle in a country where all foreign copyright has no rights:P... In all seriousness though and as much as I dislike Baidu that's actually not very kind because there are some really smart people working there on original AI research.
What printer from 2017 or even >2000 would not outperform a 1980s dot-matrix... HP fail: compare your product to something that no competitor should be worse than by far.
OMG who the fuck voted this troll... this is literally a fact posted about a previous story and a note on the relevance and irony. I swear Microsoft's minions must be here to manipulate posts.
RTFS. They're not just staying in one city, they're staying at one address. This means nobody is buying houses. It's another sign the Millennials are getting screwed.
It means, that they're still living at Mommy and Daddy's house, waiting for the world to give them the high paying dream job they "deserve" and would enjoy doing.....and it ain't happening.
Previous generations understood this, but apparently the snowflakes do not.
I'll stop you right there...
The previous generation don't understand how much of their success is built upon luck and the generation before them, they tend to be biased in attributing all of their good fortune to their own hard work - because that's human nature, when you're down it's bad luck (Gen-Y), when things are going your way it's all you (Gen-X). In truth it's a combination, but you can't have the hard work without first having a substantial amount of luck, even if that just means being born at the right time and in the right place, the concept of being completely self made is wrong... by all means try it, go out into the desert with nothing and see how far you get, YOU are dependant upon the system, the system was kind to you.
You are either part of that generation or a lucky outlier... either way shut the fuck up or we will rob you of all your luck including any hard work built upon it and then you will finally be more humble when looking upon those without a foundation to build their life.
Scientists actually don't believe this particular instance to be caused by climate change. So, if people could read up a bit and post something thoughtful instead of having a knee jerk anti-Trump comment, that would be awesome.
Yes, the world is divided into 256m3 chunks and z-indexed into a quadtree... at the largest chunk size no interaction occurs with adjacent chunks, this is believed to be a bug introduced by an intersection test optimisation implemented by the creator. A nice side effect is that global warming doesn't affect other things around the world.
Sometimes Etch-A-Sketch is better, Photoshop has a multi GiB installation size, a growing hodgepodge of not very unified tools because they grew there and can't change cos user-base, requires a subscription service and insists on "managing" your media library and by extension you life... You yearn for the power and simplicity of Photoshop v1.0, but it's no longer available, enough is enough - you say fuck Photoshop and you settle for an Etch-A-Sketch, spend more time actually drawing things rather than being distracted by shit.
Of course sometimes you're still forced to use Photoshop because the Etch-A-Sketch doesn't have a fricking magic wand, although the overhead of going back and forth between AFF (Aluminium Fillings Format) and PSD is such a pain that sometimes you just grind through it manually with those primitive x y dials. I've considered at least patching multiaxis input device support (AKA a mouse) to make this easier... too far? what are we talking about?
Social networks are overrated anyway, i'm convinced they are a long fad, just go cold turkey and enjoy life with more meaningful communication. Twitter is at least focused on the actual communication part more instead of "profiles".
Seriously I though the only interest in chromebooks was Linux users who want a cheap netbook subsidised by Google... Do mythical end users actually consume these devices?
For those that didn't read the article or summary, apparently the gunman hated the new MacBook Pro so much that he shot that instead of the man.
Airports... One of the few places on Earth where the Apples' are separated from the fan boys, BAM! the distorted anodised aluminium body of a Macbook Pro slams to the floor, a T420 preloaded with linux thrust into the shaking hands of the owner by the gunman, BAM! the spindly casing of a MacBook Air splits into layers and cartwheels down the x-ray conveyor belt like paper plates, a Dell XPS 13 is dropped into the now empty tray, BAM! BAM! BAM! a myriad of traumatised fan-boys litter airport security clutching their replacements in the fetal position, conflicted with the void of their precious and the strange non aluminium chassis of their new device.
This is what happens to your brain after being exposed to South Park for too long.
The end of the UK internet, first legislation f^&*ing encryption and legalising mass surveilance and now the copyright mob are poking their fingers in. Time to pipe everything through another country. Also don't use any services with the end point in the UK which you expect to be encrypted.
They go to 65536 if you hack the soundcard firmware, this enables the hidden dancing speaker diaphragms dangling from speaker coils feature. it's the latest trend and it takes COURAGE! get with the programme.
I've noticed it's been possible to retask ports for input output on most sound cards or both for a long time... The smaller the headphone the better it would work as a passive microphone, I thought this was always obvious. This is hardly something that no one ever though of before like air gap hacks.
Electronics noob here:P The failure modes of normal super-capacitors appears to be quite different to the smouldering ceramic or exploding electrolytic based capacitors. From wikipedia on normal super-caps:
...theoretically supercapacitors have no true polarity and catastrophic failure does not normally occur. However reverse-charging a supercapacitor lowers its capacity...
So assuming nothing vaporises when multiple tiny shorts occur from blunt force, puncture or over voltage etc... then i guess the question is what else happens after all those shorts? would it heat up a lot to the point of melting or causing an external fire? would it try to discharge suddenly and cause electrocution?
I always find it such an exaggerated way of presenting statistics to use a percentage of a percentage, the number gives no context (percentage of what), and the smaller the group of people the more the number is likely to fluctuate wildly.
Whats wrong with a absolute percentage? "No. of people with dementia dropped by 2.8% between 2000 and 2012"... is it just not sensationalist enough? Otherwise when dementia only affects a handful of people it will be improving worsening by 9927648% every year! what a useful way of measuring it.
I am 100% certain that they would only be able to collect only crash data from EU citizen, as anything else, including usage or even something as simple as the percentage of pink pixel would break privacy laws and the right of correction.
The sample data from the article: http://www.canardpc.com/downlo... at a glance it looks mostly like detailed hardware info and then a list of all the games you own.
I was speculative that FPGA implementation could not be done cheaply, as they come in a range or capabilities and costs... So I thought I'd have a look at what HDL source is available and what would be required to run them... without much googling you will find many people have already done this, this was the simplest i could find in terms of hardware (although not accurate or complete) https://danstrother.com/fpga-n...
It is difficult to gauge from these projects what a production cost would be, as they are all using development boards obviously and not necessarily choosing the smallest chip for the job, even so if you take the board from that project and search for the FPGA chip unit price it's less than half that of their board, ~£28, it would be interesting to know from someone experienced in this level of hardware how low the cost could be driven down by selecting an appropriate size FPGA based on the HDL and low frequencies those chips ran on the NES.

Also just noticed they made it about 5 times larger than the dotmatrix... so not such a win win in specs even against a 30 year old machine.
many of these studies asked people whether they remembered having cats
So the original studies asked crazy people if they ever owned cats? what did they expect?

Hate BBC's opt-out "TV" licence. As if it's obligatory to watch their content.
