It would be difficult to find any modern x86 CPU that is not good enough for those tasks. Heck even a pretty old CPU should work for most of those. The amount of CPU power available today borders on the unbelievable. Outside of power users like gamers, developers, CAD, Video editing, and other high end users a Pentium is more than good enough. Frankly they would get better value out of an SSD than an I5.
1. Nobel did not make TNT and that is the difference. 2. No you did not have to haul saltpeter across the globe to make explosives before Haber since their was another way to make nitrates before Haber that was must more expensive. Take a look at the US civil war and you will see no shortage of explosives.
Nobel was a person that wanted to save lives by making a safer explosive. He was vilified as a merchant of death "wrongly BTW" because people thought that dynamite was going to be used as a weapon which it rarely was. He decided that he wanted to do good to make up for the potential bad so he created the Nobel prizes including one for peace.
Haber created something that save millions of lives but then because of his self-loathing decided that he wanted to stop being Jewish and become an ultra German. He then went on to make weapons of mass destruction. The only parallels I see is they both dealt with Nitrogen compounds. Now the contrast between them is interesting and the fact that Haber really seemed to become an anti-semitic semitic I find really interesting. Nobel was just an admirable person. Haber despite his best efforts saved far more lives than he took which is also interesting.
I understand your point. I just do not agree with it. of course TOS is subject to change and this is a free service. It comes down to Google saying "We are no longer going to pay for you publish this" I do mean pay since they run servers. They are not deleting the blogs so you can get your material off and move to a different platform.
And no. Google is not preventing you from publishing anything. There are a great number of other platforms available. Saying that we do not want x on a platform is the same as saying we only want x, y, and z on the platform except more inclusive. So what you are saying is that a magazine which is being more exclusive is not censoring while google who is being more inclusive is.
"Reality is, democratically elected parliament isn't supposed to be a bunch of elites but a cross-section of electorate." Yes and no. No they are not supposed to be elites in fact the whole idea of anyone being elite is counter to a democracy society in my opinion. But the UK does seem to like there royals and giving people knighthoods. But the people elected are supposed to be the best person to represent the population and that should include again IMHO a certain level of education and intelligence.
" A "farmer's market" is not an open forum to sell whatever you want - there is an expected type of product that will be sold there." Blogger is not an open forum to publish whatever you want - there is an expected type of material that is published there.
Here is one that is closer. You publish a newspaper that publishes freelance writers. You don't pay them they do it for exposure. Someone offers an article in praise of rape, or claiming that President Obama is the anti-christ, or that Hitler was right. If you decide to not publish those is that censorship? Would you have an obligation to publish everything submitted?
And they are wrong. BTW my Uncle did die of lung cancer and never smoked a day in his life. The served as a member of a tank crew during WWII and they used to line the tanks with asbestos. Yes he was about 17 years older than my mother and I am a good bit older than the average Slashdoter these days.
"it's not the radiation most people are afraid of" Ahh... No. Sure you are right about some people but their are a lot of people that are terrified of the term radiation...
I guess then your point is unclear to me. I thought that you where trying to draw parallels between Haber and Nobel. I would also question the idea of Haber developing artificial materials using the Haber process. It made ammonia which is a naturally occurring compound and ammonia made by the Haber Bosch process is identical in all ways to that which is formed by nature. Also the Birkeland-Eyde process predates the Haber process it was just more expensive. Too expensive for fertilizer but that is not an issue for explosives. Also by the time the Haber process was discovered other explosives like TNT had replaced dynamite for warfare. So what exactly is your point?
Let me explain this with science. You have two groups. One that is exposed to peanuts as infants. One that is not. Fewer children in the exposed group developed peanut allergies. In other words SOME peanut allergies can be prevented by early exposure.
Your argument is the same as. "My uncle never smoked a day in his life and died of lung cancer. Smoking does not cause lung cancer".
So if I run a school paper or a fanzine that only has free content and I choose to not publish something because I do not think it is good enough or on topic I am censoring?
Try editorial control. "Additionally, saying that only government censorship is bad is simply denying the reality of the modern age. "
Okay tell me which of these acts of censorship is censorship and which is not? An organic food co-op offers a "free" farmers market every saturday and one of the vendors wants to sell Pepsi? A tee shirt store refuses to carry KKK tee-shirts. A drug store refuses to carry tobacco products.
There are multiple blogging platforms so these people are not being prevented from posting on other platforms.
Simple we got swipe terminals years before Europe. Chip and Pin is here now in the US. In fact I used it yesterday at a Jon Smiths Sub shop. Most people would not even notice it but I did. Also credit card fraud was not a big issue in the US until a few years ago. The US will be Chip and Pin by October. Now bringing the terminal to the table may take a while. Nicer restaurants will probably not want to do that since for some odd reason the taking of the check and bringing it back is a sign of a "quality" restaurant. Chilie's here in the states has a card reader/tablet at every table and I have seen people complain about it! Frankly I hate waiting for the wait staff to bring the bill, then wait for come back and take my card, then wait for the card to come back!. It would seem that I am in the minority.
I think that they are missing the real market. I see it as a replacement for paypal/square. If I went to a small event and want a tee shirt I can see taping my phone to pay for the shirt. Or if I want to by a drill from a friend.
There is a speed issue. You tap your phone and it launches wallet. you put in a code you tap again.
I find it fastest if I launch and put in the code before I get the reader. The one issue I worry about is could I be charged for someone elses purchase.
Selling guns and live animals is not illegal in the US. Google said, "We are offering a free service for people to publish blogs that meet these requirements." It is no difference than if I opened a free market for people to sell organic food and someone wanted to sell cans of Pepsi in their booth. That is not the rules. I would say that you are confusing the word suppressing with the word not supporting. Find a different blog service or get a cheap host and Wordpress... Google does not say you can not have the blog. You can have the blog but just not on Google's servers.
"The full quote is Voltaire's, "I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it."" To quote Google. "But I do not have to pay for you to say it."
People keep using that word but do not really seem to know what it means. If I own a store I can decided what is for sale in that store. If I own a newspaper I can decide what I publish in the paper. If I own newspaper I can decide what kind of ads are put in the paper. Ebay does not allow the sale of guns or live animals is that evil? Craigslist does not allow "adult services" adds anymore. That is all called editorial control. The government saying that you can not publish something is censorship. Google is not preventing them from publishing anything. They are just enforcing their guidelines for their free service. If you do not like it find an hosting service, download a free blogging platform like wordpress and you are good to go.
I do not see it. Nobel made a safer explosive. At the time Nitroglycerin as used for tunnel building and mining but often killed workers because it was so dangerous to handle. Nobel wanted to save lives from the start. When it start to be used by the military Nobel felt very guilty " I don't feel he should have felt any guilt" so he took his wealth from dynamite to make the Nobel Prizes. Haber wanted to fix nitrogen. I am sure he was fine with using it for explosives as well as fertilizer. He actively developed weapons of mass destruction. I do not see much in common with the two. What I do see is that Haber seemed to have an issue with the same kind of self loathing I see with a lot of people today. He was a Jew but renounced his religion. He felt that he could not be a good German and a Jew at the same time. A lot of what he did seemed driven by his need to be more German than German. Even Hitler kept him in his lab.
Back around 84 I read about Intel running CPUs at 100mhz in the lab! Since 8Mhz as the fastest Intel CPU you could get at the time it sound like pure fantasy. Sure in a lab with some exotic cooling you could have 100mhz CPUs or maybe in a super computer but not in a PC anytime soon... I will not be shocked if I see 7mn in four or five years. I also will not be shocked to not see them.
They tried that with the Itanium and it did not go well. What Intel might do is faze out older parts of the ISA like the 16bit x86-x286 instructions to free up some space on the die. Even that might not be worth the effort since I am pretty sure those are already "emulated" on modern CPUs in the decoder. I thought that it would a good idea for Intel to go only 64 bit on their mobile chips. They have no real installed code base in mobile to worry about.
