What market is amd shooting for? Haswell with iris pro will probably beat out amd for integrated graphics performance and will have better battery life. On the top end, desktop users will always go for a dedicated graphics card. On the mobile end, these things will eat up battery and have no reason to be on a tablet. All that's left is the cheap oem side of things. Haswell is still fairly expensive on the low end. If intel can bring down the price a bit and make it competitive they will beat out amd in every category.
Just for clarifications sake, please tell me what is a basic human right? Is freedom of movement a basic human right? In some places of this country (the US) there is no public transit, there are no local airports in walking distance. The nearest store can be miles away. In many places such as rural areas there is a necessity of mobility to survive and cars are the only choice that makes sense in that matter.
Before you say biking, lets use the case of a wheelchair bound paraplegic who relies on their automobile to get from point a to point b as a necessity to live. Does it not then become a right? At what point exactly does a privilege, which by definition is not necessary to live, become a basic human right? And if you agree that in certain circumstances what most people consider a privilege would become a right when it starts infringing on a person's ability to live, then what about your notions about taking away that privilege? Do you deny a person's right to life freely?
The second part of my argument is in the false notion that somehow having a phone in the car, whether near or being held or strapped to someone's head somehow, according to you, and in-arguably affects a person's ability to drive. I personally believe that being distracted is the main cause of issues, cellphone or not. This list of distractions includes the radio, climate control, children in the car, being late, obtuse traffic signs, unfamiliarity with the surroundings, being sleepy, driving for too long, reading, applying makeup, accidents on the side of the road, flashing lights, advertisements, good looking women, etc. How many laws have been passed for those things? Before cellphones penetrated the general public, you're saying accidents didn't exist or were way down statistically? I find nothing of the sort. The same people who are easily distracted and bad drivers are the ones using their cellphones and making bad decisions. Yet all this talk about licenses for drivers and regulating it does not take into account how bad of a driver a person is. Everyone is treated the same whether or not someone has a perfectly clean driving record or has totaled 18 cars in their lifetime.
Given this unwritten social contract of driving (considering when i started to drive there weren't anything of the sort such as breathalyzers, but apparently in my lifetime failing to take one is the same as being guilty), i find it highly unlikely that anyone has silently agreed to give up their rights when driving.
So let me ask you this. In the state of california, is the garmin hud also illegal to have in your car? If so, why? It's safer than any other alternative to navigation displays.
I'm sort of conflicted. First off they're supposed to be friendly countries. Second, do you want other countries spying on you? And what's to stop other countries to resell that information back to the US or other interests? Third, wasn't the US trying to establish how hacking into the US is an act of war? Now it turns they've been doing it to everyone else?
Lastly you're undermining the internet in general. Less trust in an open network will turn people into making fragmented segments for their own countries due to spying. It will hurt business, it will hurt freedom. It's ridiculously short sighted to do any of this.
He means the kind that pollutes the environment the least. Your solar panels are dirty to create, ditto on battery technology. Coal is one of the worst polluters because they just throw everything into the atmosphere. There is no clean up costs yet everyone pays for it. Nuclear is the most viable. Even with ever nuclear disaster that has ever occurred including testing and bombing, it has harmed less people than coal. You're literally burning millions of tons of crap into the atmosphere. Also coal is partially radioactive. Since it's so hard to correlate as a causation, it's hard to put a number on direct linkages to lung cancer, but i'm sure it doesn't help.
hmmm i understand the costs of keeping the equipment running, but what's the cost of, lets say for arguments sake, 0% bandwidth utilization (idle) vs 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. If no one uses it, there's definitely still a cost. but how much more expensive is it to run it at 100% than 0%?
If i pay for bandwidth, it has to really cost something. No i don't lease the equipment, i already pay an isp for connectivity. Why should i pay extra for bits that mysteriously use a system, which even if i wasn't connected would still be draining tremendous resources?
Bluetooth tracking has been used in many different areas. It's not required that a connection be even made. Sure this is just an extra grab by gov't to track everyone. Because it's already done via cell phone or bluetooth (that's in your car stereo) or license plate readers or traffic cameras, etc etc doesn't make it right.
isn't the whole point of individual cars so that when one goes bad or needs maintenance, you just disconnect it from the rest and attach something else? I'm sure you can do the same with articulated, but it's probably a lot more of a hassle. That or if you can't and they're all attached for life (like an articulated bus), that would mean any failure along the 8 (I'm assuming it's 8 in nyc) would send the entire train to the maintenance yard.
No one would want to sit on the articulated section anyways. The suspension between the two and the floor moving near where you're sitting would probably be unnerving to some.
Seriously. Show up at invitations to illegal aliens like this and arrest all those who are here illegally. Then fine the crap out of whoever sponsored such an event. Zuck is making money off of slave labor yet no one wants to call him out on his tactics?
It's not even a copy, it's derivative work. He doesn't have the source code, he did not copy anything, he probably replicated portions of his own experience in playing the original game.
Everything is derivative work. Do you think plumbers are new? That pipes are new? That stomping on turtles are new? Strange as it sounds, nothing in Mario brothers is uniquely new. Putting it all together in some lsd world is basing it all from work that can be defined as derivative. Since it's release.. 25 years ago, it has become part of culture. To think that someone can't relive their youth and create a similar, but totally new game is absurd. There's no money to be lost at this point, but that's besides the point. The copyright has long outlived it's usefulness to Nintendo.
I know. It's not like battery technologies are any different. I always expect my alkaline, lead-acid, agm, nicad, NiMH, etc batteries to go up in flames at all times. Hell i remember when my tv remote exploded once.... ohh yeah that never happened.
No one said anything about putting lithium in carbon fiber, unless you are suggesting that you are. If so i would like to subscribe to your amusing newsletter.
Fighting back is the only way bullies will respect you and leave you alone. There's a fine line between being bullied and bullying back and it's easy to pick on others because you're being picked on. It takes a stronger person to know when they should defend themselves and willing to put themselves at risk of harm or punishment for standing up for themselves. That being said, the environment at schools all over are ripe with opportunities to bully and harm others with no one intervening which is sort of close to real life. But then again kids are not adults and should not be left alone. They should be monitored and bullying should be addressed as well as appropriate ways for the bullyee to deal with it.
You're talking commercial leased vms and such. If an entrepreneur wants to start his own company and hosts a website on his home computer, what's the harm in that? Besides it being against the TOS, he's using minimal bandwidth. If i created a song and hosted it on my home computer and even it was popular and got downloaded a million times, it's still low bandwidth.
So in your scenario, if a hosting company or a data center moved to oklahoma city to save on bandwidth/connection costs by using google fibre, yes i can see the concern. You define exactly what a server is and i'm sure others will completely disagree. The definition between a server and a home computer is pretty blurred at the moment.
Btw thanks for the definition of a GB in terms of DVDs. I had no idea that DVDs are 4.7 GB. No idea whatsoever. While you're at it, please define "typical website".
The logical fallacy in your statement is that servers do not use 100% of the bandwidth all the time. There is no service that i'm aware of that will use a full 1gbit link 100% of the time. If i put up a moderate website, i doubt that'll get more than 1 gigabyte of traffic a month. That equates to ~10 seconds of full speed on a gigabit connection. I'm fairly sure google can spare 10 seconds out of 2678400 seconds in a month for a simple website. Even if it's a terrabyte of traffic (year right), that's 9000 seconds of that 2678400 in a month. You'd have to transfer ~300 terrabytes of traffic to utilize it 100%.
I guess if you run a torrent site and allowed full bandwidth with unlimited connections you could use a bunch of that bandwidth, but then again, you don't need a server to run that. You're also limited to the bandwidth on the opposite side.
until that time that your clutch is raised ever so slightly and you rear into the car behind you or you didn't notice the cyclist creeping from the side, or the motorcyclists between your car and another... You can imagine the scenarios. It's not about the 10,000 times it went right, it's about the one time it doesn't.
You know... this same scenario could be because they were eating, legally talking on bluetooth, yelling their their kids, checking out a hot guy/chick in another lane, focused on anything else. Singling out one possible but very unlikely event that *may* cause an accident and saying it's a ticketable offense is pure silliness. If the car is not in motion then it's not being actively being driven. People at red lights are very distracted doing everything else other than watching the road and their surroundings *because they are at a complete stop*.
There is no way a cop can enforce all laws mainly because even they don't know every single law. And yes, after speaking to a cop, it's extremely selective. They can choose to enforce any non-felony offense. They can decide to give you a warning or ruin your day. That kind of power is highly abused.
I recommend a 4 hour work day with same pay as the standard 80 hour work week.
No i sort of jest. You have to figure a few things. Management isn't rated on how well the code is written or how productive the people they're managing are... well in the most cases where you have the upper management who are brain dead. What instead is how much they can push their employees to make them look like effective managers. Let me give you a basic example. If i work 8 hours a day, and the work i have assigned will take 3 weeks but i only have 1 week to do it in, a good manager will convince you to work twice as fast but not meet the deadline and then complain that they don't have enough resources. A bad manager will say it can't be done to upper management. Guess who is rewarded? The guy who puts on the dog and pony show for the upper management showing they can rally the troops in doing extra whether or not they met their goal.
So back to the point. It doesn't matter how effective you are. It matters how much they can squeeze out of you. Change that mindset and you've won. Good luck though, i doubt you'll change anyone's mind.

Try VisualWget. Might save you some time in general.
Then again that's for windows. Fairly sure there are a few apps that do the same thing though.

Fairly sure that glass doesn't come standard with tv reception. Sort of a stretch to apply it.

Gravity is also a product of quantum entanglement on a universal scale.

uhh, nexus 10 has a 2560 x 1600 resolution on a 10" tablet. It's been out for maybe a year now? Have you even been looking?
Maybe he was talking about eating and reviewing yogurts while driving.

Or you could just use uranium to power the coal mining equipment.
