Survey Finds Nearly 50% In US Believe In Medical Conspiracy Theories
How many of those started believing in the conspiracy - or, in fact, had only heard of the conspiracy - the moment they were asked about it in the survey?
You know, when you commit a crime and another person is aware of that crime and does nothing, that same person is guilty as well. If theres any legal repercusion to this...
a) They're not guilty of the same crime b) What crime are you talking about?
some games like Killzone don't even run at 1080p due to it not being powerful enough to handle it
That was the game developer's choice. If the PS4 was twice as powerful, they'd have just thrown in twice as many* effects and explosions and it would still run at 720p and 30fps.
and yet their star games had to sacrifise resolution and framerate in order to run on the ps4
No, they didn't have to. The fact is, no matter how powerful the console, you can always chuck in more effects and more realistic asplosions by reducing the framerate and resolution to a (debatably) acceptable minimum.
This is the decision of game designers who choose effects over framerate. The PS4 is perfectly capable of delivering 1080p at 60fps, or 2160p at 120fps*, subject to a reduced graphics budget, but none of them seem to want to go that way these days.
*by which I mean, it could calculate the values of 8.2 million pixels 120 times a second - other technical qualifications notwithstanding
If I told a room full of people with a background in IT that my file was exactly one kilobyte, I'm pretty sure the vast majority would take me to mean, sans further information, 1024 bytes.Yes, kibibyte is unambiguous. But in most circumstances it's not that helpful to start throwing around obscure terms for the sake of avoiding the slim possibility of misinterpretation.

I wanted to, but I couldn't work out how to use the three seashells.
Why can't Reiser continue? Just because he is in prison?
Yes, exactly because he's in prison, where they don't allow you your own personal computer hardware or general access to the internet.
Shocking, I know. They'll be locking him in at night next!
Damn right. We need more mavericks and less pen-pushers!

Hey Steve,
You wanna go out this weekend and do some terrorism?

Bart: A conspiracy, eh? You think they might be involved in the Kennedy assassination in some way?
Homer: I do...now.

ps4 struggles with 1080p to a TV
No it doesn't, at least not inherently.
some games like Killzone don't even run at 1080p due to it not being powerful enough to handle it
That was the game developer's choice. If the PS4 was twice as powerful, they'd have just thrown in twice as many* effects and explosions and it would still run at 720p and 30fps.
*yes, I know, it doesn't really scale that way.
and yet their star games had to sacrifise resolution and framerate in order to run on the ps4
No, they didn't have to. The fact is, no matter how powerful the console, you can always chuck in more effects and more realistic asplosions by reducing the framerate and resolution to a (debatably) acceptable minimum.
(probably 1080p 30FPS.. ugh..)

Is it supposed to be obvious why?
But you CAN'T try out the software first.
It's for exactly those cases that the GP is suggesting letting other people try it out first.

a kilobyte means 1000 bytes.
That depends on what you think "means" means.

It reminded me more of this.
Who decided these were a good idea? Even the BBC did one a few days ago.
Are you high? That exchange doesn't show hindsight.
I was talking about the poster's hindsight, not Romney's.
It shows foresight and understanding by Romney
Taken on its own there's little to differentiate it from a mildly informed guess.
And nor is my wife.
Not that kind of high.
Hindsight is 20/20.
How many other things were said at the time by either candidate but weren't borne out by time?
Russia is the only country in the world realistically capable of turning the United States into radioactive ash
The US could do it too. Haven't they seen T3?
Oh yeah, wasn't that the filter designed by an advisor who was later arrested for CP?
No.
...whose brilliant standards of morality lead to the persecution and destruction of everyone from Oscar Wilde to Alan Turing?
Are you from the US? If so, would you like to discuss standards of morality in the US 60 years ago?
everyone from Oscar Wilde to Alan Turing?
What does that even mean? I think what you meant was "some people, including Oscar Wilde and Alan Turing."
Yet Google wants to take our content, devalue it, and make it available for criminals to pirate for profit.
Who's paying for pirated content? Will piracy go away if no-one can profit from it?*
* Rhetorical. No, it won't.
How long do you calculate it would take to kill someone by this method?
Some say nitrogen narcosis is the way to go.
The era of Facebook is an anomaly.
Well, no shit. Facebook wasn't around for 99.99999% of humanity's time on the planet.
The idea of everybody going to one site is just weird.
It's also false.
Give me one other part of history where everybody shows up to the same social space.
Give me one other part of history when it was even possible. Also note that it's not actually happening.
