For starters it reduces memory contention because the display device doesn't have to read and send the display data over the wire 60 times a second, while rendering the next frame. Theoretically, if there's nothing happening on the screen, such as an idle desktop, the display device won't consume x*100 Mbyte of bandwidth just to show a still image on the screen.
Now we just wait until they finally figure out to employ a smarter protocol than sending the whole frame buffer over the wire when only a tiny part of the screen has changed. It would do wonders for APUs and other systems with shared memory.
This has been the U.S game for a long time, importing and collecting the intellectual resources of the world. And god knows they need it, we all know the sad state of U.S public education, and how colleges and universities to a significant degree seem to revolve around "getting wasted, bro", not to mention how American culture is excellent at keeping many Americans young, dumb, aggressive and ignorant. It would be interesting to know how the U.S would have fared had they not been fighting to attract the intellectual elite of the world.
This pooling of intellectual wealth in the U.S just furthers an already poor global balance, and countries need to invest in motivating their educated people to stay to work and contribute to better their own country, rather than the U.S.
We're so used at looking at reviews and videos of stuff and ordering on the Internet. We even order clothes on the Internet without having a way of trying them on, so why not cars? Even grocery shopping can be done over the Internet these days.
Just like oil sales in non-Dollar currencies, these phones pose a threat to the Dollar. When it's oil sales, U.S will fabricate reasons to start a war to "correct" Middle East political attitudes and thus oil-sales, but with smart-phones you can just place an import ban. U.S is getting desperate to save their Dollar, who knows what they will do next. Industrial sabotage aimed at Samsung? Start a war over smart-phones and other popular electronics?
The whole god damned world seems to be out to hurt the U.S if you listen to these people. The U.S is psyched up on its on self-entitlement and is behaving like a violent bully, and it's time the world comes together and stand up against it.
It's too bad about all the people getting laid off, but these companies have exported too much "defense equipment" used to "defend freedom and democracy" in the Middle East already. The American invasion machine must shut down.
That's such a stupid thing to say. Everyone knows whales differ greatly in size from one species to the other, and they increase in size greatly between birth and mature age. It would never work!
I love how the dilemma of what units to use is highlighted by mixing feet, pints and the generic gym water bottle units. The Imperial system has dumbed Americans down to the point where they can only understand measurements by comparing distances, sizes, weights and volumes to things like football fields, elephants, bowling balls and water bottles.
Let's leave the creation of content to the big music and movie companies. They only want to dictate our consumption and the development of culture, for our own benefit. Maybe eventually we'll leave all science and innovation to big companies as well, finally freeing the general population from the burden of creativity and thinking. How could this possibly be bad?
Since I first heard about 3D-printing I've dismissed it all as some fringe-tech in development, not practically usable, and just ignored every article on 3D-printing, but this machine here seems mature and amazingly useful. I'm curious about the toxicology of it all and how much the plastic materials cost, and how durable they are.
China and Russia must step up the game. I don't trust U.S gov in their ambitions to rule the world. They care less for the good of everyone, and more for securing their own place at the top.
No you're the clueless idiot. Read my original post and note particularly my expression "ironic justice" and let it hit you this time around. It completely flew over your head the first time.
What my post is saying is that justice is getting nuclear weapons dropped back on you if you drop them on someone else, but it's not right to kill innocent civilians, hence the irony of that justice. Is that simple enough for you?
You get zero credit for hand-waving or philosophical rants.
Keep your stupid homework assignments to yourself.
An incredibly murderous, careless and risky bet, wouldn't you agree? What about dropping the bomb on enemy forces instead of civilians, wouldn't that have gotten the message across? There is no way to justify dropping nuclear weapons on civilians.

It looks like something you would see in one of those ridiculous pictorials from the early 1900s, envisioning the future.

I wouldn't want it chasing after me either - I would probably die from laughter.

Developers should implement Keccak, and NIST and NSA can have their SHA-3, whatever it becomes, all to themselves.

Haha, you know, that's a good point :)

with that.

I am using it correctly, it's just you who have a strangely ingrained understanding of it. Dipshit.

I agree. And I think people should work hard and prove they can read and interpret before being allowed to post.
It seems my use of the word "irony" confused you and everyone else here.
No, but the nazi forces would've deserved it. I'm surprised how much confusion my use of the word "ironic" causes around here.
My "rushed" judgement is that it's not right to use nuclear weapons on innocent civilians.
