Until ATI has good Linux support I'll only be buying NVidia. Actually I've generally bought AMD CPUs and NVidia GPUs, but if AMD starts slipping then I'll be forced to go Intel.
An inflection point is when the second derivative of a curve is zero, and is generally where a curve changes from concave down to concave up. I'm assuming the guy was talking about a profit over time curve or something.
What we need is small, independent, companies competing directly in the same way Linux distros compete with each other. That will encourage innovation.
The president can also order troops to invade another country without congressional approval. It would be political suicide to, say, wake up and invade Norway. But he can.
Among other things, requiring you to log in to view youtube videos someone has flagged as "offensive". They also remove search results that the US government doesn't like for whatever reason, being an American company. The UN can do better because it theoretically represents the interests of more than just the US, and since the internet is international they should be the authority on it.
Too bad they censor the internet. Why doesn't google just get into hosting as well, then they can rebuild the entire internet themselves (hosting, advertising, and certificates). We need a UN body to take over the internet so that one country or one corporation can't have a strong influence on it.
How does censoring the internet help consumers? A smart consumer will recognize that "rollex-official-site-buy".cn isn't the official website for rollexes.
When CVS tries to sell people Cherokee Hair Tampons I'll be worried. For now this is some scrub scammer preying on cancer patients. Although I do find it funny that he expects to be taken seriously when he has to sue the critics to get them to shut up.
It's not just about game theory. Space invaders will teach concepts such as blitting, game loops, event driven programming, arrays + for loops (with arrays, lists, etc), and the use of threading/timed while loops. It will probably be a great example of implementing object oriented programming, and requires support skills such as the creation of sprites in an editor such as GIMP, and sound effects in things like Audacity. It's not a big project, but it does cover a broad spectrum of topics in a very short span of time, and the student will have fun doing it.
Assuming they do this the way public schools in the USA teach programming, don't bother. They've managed to suck all creativity and wonder from the process by making every activity copying code from a textbook without teaching the theory behind it, or mentioning the possible applications. I've seen so many people take high school level programming courses and come out not knowing how to program. This isn't because they're dumb, this is because it is taught in the same way you make someone memorize a poem they don't want to read. College courses are fine, but public school courses need revision. Creativity and real world applications of programming concepts is completely missing there.

But it helps grow bacteria. By not bathing, you're creating millions of lives.
I'd jump with joy, but I might get an aneurysm.

It gives the USA free surveillance on China. Go USA!
Damn, not the command and conquer servers. My weekend is fried.

Obviously it can also change from concave up to concave down, before the flamers and math nazis reply.

Actually we're a secular nation.

Age verification is censorship.
Damn Chinese hackers. Now the Congress can't have their LAN party, and the lack of recreation will greatly reduce their efficiency.

So they're saying that businesses can sue their competition out of search engines. This can't end well.
So they're creating an alternative way of working with the iPhone? Oh man, apple lawsuit incoming.

If you need to sue your critics in order to sell your product, your product is useless.

At least at my college they've discovered that games actually make students want to learn programming. Shocking isn't it!

There are many diseases that heuristic measures fail against such as HIV.
