I look forward to the day when we are finally able to "cut and paste" with the speed of a monkey, due to our new tails. The performance gap is really bothering me, and Zimbu got promoted again.
I see this article as being myopically focused upon "main memory in portable end-user devices."
DRAM is going to stay vital for at least the server market, and I would guess the desktop market too (for as long as desktops last). Your iPad 3, maybe they have a point, but server apps would work current NAND into an early grave. The cost savings would be greatly offset by the service outages.
And since "the Cloud" is the new big thing, that means that DRAM is going to be around for a while. I don't see how the marginalization of the desktop is going to also kill the server market. The death of the PC? I'll buy that. But it's not going to kill DRAM because too many other platforms use it.
Now, if we ignore all those servers and just look at the magical end-user devices, well, that would be totally daft. Those devices aren't worth spit without something storing and delivering content to them. That something is an actual computer, rather than just a device, and it can't be using NAND for its main memory.
IMO, anyone who is doing actual computing is going to be using DRAM for the foreseeable future.
Cool. So now we have ballistics gel that not only will tell us the extent of physical damage a potato cannon can cause, but also the amount of mental disability that might be sustained.
My IQ dropped just reading the summary. If I click on TFA, I think I won't make it to 2015 because I will be declared legally braindead. This may be my new IQ speaking, though.
Seriously. We still haven't done away with mag-stripe cards in the US. What the hell makes PayPal think their products are so good that we'll do away with the only convenient way to carry our paleolithic cards? We are proud dinosaurs, and our (real) banks are amongst the most conservative set of last adopters in the world. You can poke this prediction with a stick and it's still not going anywhere.
Look, I understand it's the Chinese, and we officially don't like them or their human rights record, but if this sort of picture rises to the level of "propaganda," then we need to call what used to be named "propaganda" (i.e.: Pictures that inflame nationalism, demonize a political enemy, or move people to high emotion over what is actually mundane, or at least literally mislead or lie about the nature of something important) something else.
This is a publicity shot, as is every ribbon cutting ever filmed in the States or Britain. Not everything the Chinese government does rises to the level of "propaganda."
The Photoshopping is just "incompetence." Again, I don't think it rises to the level of "propaganda." It's hilarious, but not nefarious.
If you read the TFA's FBE (F-ing Blog Entry), you'll find that you just use a recovery console, run FIXMBR, and then run a system restore to a date before your system became infected.
Hardly intractable. Not a reinstall. If it goes unnoticed for a very long time, you might not have a restore point early enough, but that goes for any malware.
Indeed. All tyranny requires some measure of volunteerism. The pay cannot be enough compensation for the sort of things these people have to do/put up with.
A tyrant can't take your power from you. You have to surrender it.
The relevant question here isn't when they were sacked, or how many were sacked, but why they were sacked. The article doesn't really answer the question that matters.:^(
Nice thought, but wrong. Infringement regarding "copyright" means you do not have the right to copy, yet make a copy illicitly. Therefore, infringment is the act of copying, not possessing. It used to be, pre-DMCA, only copying for gain (charging a customer for an illicit copy) was actionable, and only such actions were criminal. Now it's the act of making any unauthorized copy, and it is all criminal. Possession of the data is a great big (not feasibly prosecutable) gray area, unless you happen to have shelves of the same item that you are clearly using as stock to sell. On a track for track basis, there's no way to prove where it came from, be it licit or illicit.
There is some statute of limitations on the act of copying, probably state by state. Can't be arsed to look it up. It's not really helpful. Here's why:
If you copy those tracks (upload) to a cloud service, or even to your new upgraded hard disk or even so much as back them up, you've gone and done it again, explicitly and illegally. Other legal arguments claim that even loading the music into RAM from a disk source to play it is making a copy, which would mean that when you *play* them, you infringe anew, but this is not settled law.
But simply having the stuff on media? No. Nobody is suing anyone for that. They're suing for making it available for mass download. Usually these are people who, whether knowingly or unknowingly, set up their own free publication service (via Kazaa, Limewire, etc.), that is in direct competition with the licensed publishers.
When the prominent drumbeat hits the major news agencies, and is on the front page of print-dinosaur-buggy-whip newspapers, I'll buy into that one. Until then, seriously, it's making the front page of Slashdot. Nobody is going to sway public opinion with that.;^)
Inventor of the aether. Staunch believer that God was a mathematician, and that he could decode His divine works. Best work in math simultaneously arrived at by Leibniz.
You're talking about a time when the university was the only game in town for an intellectual. Your example is relevant only to the modern scientific movement of the 19th century, which chose him as an authority to establish secular education (as opposed to Church sponsored), not the 21st century where folks can learn it on their own at the Kahn Academy. You might as well be bringing up the medicinal uses of tree bark in this context.
Torchlight is very much like Diablo, but not as scary, IIRC. Look into it. You can turn off any simulated blood, IIRC. There is a demo available at Gamefront file hosting.
BTW. These are TPL's (Third Person Looters), not adventure games. Usually, Diablo and FATE get called an RPG, which is a good enough classification. I almost recommended Zork I, based on the "adventure" genre, but then decided to RTFS. You can only imagine how disappointed your daughter would be cracking open a text adventure, wanting FATE instead!
If she gets into actual "adventure" games, the HER Interactive Nancy Drew series is a lot of fun, and has light to pretty difficult puzzles to solve.

On the day DNF is released, the CERN LHC will go to full capacity. Then we will find out that a time traveling Higgs Boson was what was preventing Duke from being released in the first place.

Because you need a "decision engine" that has access to all your personal data, because you are an indecisive fool, incapable of critical thought, and you never got to know yourself as well as a comprehensive personality algorithm could. John Anderton, wouldn't you like a Budweiser?
Google had best hire a brute squad to deal with the kind of crap this unholy Zuckerberg/Microsoft marriage is going to try to pull on them.
Think that's too steep? Well do your worst mods. Microsoft has always been unethical, and they are courting, IMHO, a criminal. Zuckerberg cracked his way through Harvard's network to steal personal data, hijacked someone else's idea without so much as a credit, and utterly backstabbed even his closest associates on his way to the top. He makes venerable old Bill Gates, in his heyday, look like a wide-eyed philanthropist.
I'll be making sure that my uplink is solid, that the UPS is giving power to it no matter what happens, and that God will not be downloading me unto his servers via UUCode. yEnc is right out. BinHex is acceptable.

Facebook gave Michael Lee Johnson a withering stare.
"You know what you did," she said.
"And if you don't know what you did, that's even worse. Pig."

Let's blow some up.

Yeah. It's legal discovery, not a determination. Hopefully everyone here has the critical thinking skills to know the difference.

Numa Numa Guy is a threat to O-Zone's bottom line. Damnit all to hell!
tl/dr
'nuff said.
It was Prof. Miyamoto, with the Wii U controller, in the Game Room!
But if that LCD does 3D without glasses like the 3DS, it's sure to be a smashing success.
Another thought: That's not a controller, that's a murder weapon.

So if it works for Macs, we need a similar study done on Emacs users. ;^P

No. Sharks can't survive long enough in the vacuum of space, and would freeze to death in the ionosphere. Think man! THINK!
