That's begging the question, sort of. Who said anything about needing it?
If your spreadsheet needs a gpu to speed up calculations, you are possibly misusing spreadsheets.
FTFY. If a spreadsheet is capable of doing what someone wants, who are you to say it shouldn't be done that way?
But if you have a spreadsheet that needs this much of cpu time to recompute
Again with the "need." This isn't being done for the people who need fast spreadsheets. It's being done so all spreadsheets can go faster. Who wouldn't appreciate a spreadsheet recalculating in 0.1s instead of 0.5s?
you should probably be using a full fledged data base with multiple precomputed indexing.
Well, now you can draw your arbitrary "this is too slow for spreadsheets" line further away from Calc. That's all.
It is believed the prevalence of dyslexia is around 5-10 percent of a given population although there have been no studies to indicate an accurate percentage.
Those numbers are out of date. The number of dyslexics has tripled in the last six months.
For entertainment, wider is significantly better except for splitscreen multiplayer. There's almost always much more important things happening along the horizon line roughly
There's an element of chicken and egg to that, though. Films are shot with widescreen in mind because that's what everyone watches.
Sorry, I forgot to add the "serious question" disclaimer, since apparently everything on the internet these days is to be treated as sneering sarcasm unless stated otherwise.
By cyberwarfare, I mean the capacity of groups — whether nations or not — to attack, disrupt and possibly destroy the institutions and networks that underpin everyday life. These would be power grids, pipelines, communication and financial systems, business record-keeping and supply-chain operations, railroads and airlines
Hey, guess what? Ordinary warfare can disrupt and destroy those things as well. Guess we'd better "repeal" those, too.
a terrifying danger: cyberwar
I don't know about anyone else, but compared to actual war, I find cyberwar to be about as terrifying as getting up in the night to go to the toilet.
Uh. Are you sure it wasn't a bra that doubles as an emergency facemask? I mean, I guess there may be times when a woman urgently needs frontal support, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.
Slashdot Mirror
Write code so it is easy to understand. Then compilers should understand how to make it fast.
Could a compiler have come up with the fast inverse square root?
I once got a 10% speed increase just by moving a pointer offset increment. The compiler missed that one.
If you need it you are doing it wrong

Even things like Siri. Are horrible at sound recognition.
Dictated, but not read.
'Boston Patients' Still HIV Free After Quitting Antiretroviral Meds
Is this something to do with a "Boston Marrige"? I thought we'd moved on.
Eventually the substrate heats to nearly the temperature of her hand and the power generated drops.
So then you let go, and it comes back on... right? Or wrong?
Reasons why the light is not interesting:
I'd say not practical rather than not interesting.

New Thing Will Get Better Over Time
How about using a metric that does not change, such as .. maybe the height of the screen.
In what sense does the height "not change"?
Yeah, and they only weighed 27lbs!

your... your... you...
I'm quite happy developing on one screen, thanks. But feel free to dictate what's best to everyone else.
I twitch at the subject line of your post.
That same with you Big Bang losers. I don't give a crap about your stinking show. Don't mention it to me. I don't want to know anymore about it.
That's weird, the only person I can see mentioning it right now is you, so...
Why don't pretty girls like me?

It's supposed to be a rock-solid system at this point - the most reliable commercial launch vehicle available.
So what is the most reliable commercial launch vehicle, and how does its failure rate compare with Proton's?
I don’t know the odds of this technological Armageddon. I doubt anyone does. The fears may be wildly exaggerated
Wildly exaggerated, you say? Who would do such a thing?!

Is that a serious question? Or has it got to the point where I'm going to have specifically declare which of my statements aren't meant sarcastically?
The Emergency Bra that doubles as a facemask
Uh. Are you sure it wasn't a bra that doubles as an emergency facemask? I mean, I guess there may be times when a woman urgently needs frontal support, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.
Also, the default Firefox start page now shows a foxy-looking character lighting a fart in front of a mobile phone.
Have you ever tried multitouch on a 1.5" device?
Much less touch?
Touch, yes, on the iPod Nano 6th gen, and it's surprisingly good. You can get watch straps for these little square nanos.
Some of them aren't much bigger than 1.5".
I used to bullseye them in my T-16 back home.
Yes the name XP might be but over the years the various service packs changed it dramatically.
In what ways have the Service Packs changed XP such that average (or even "power") user would notice?
