the first commercially available integrated microcontroller (the Texas Instruments TMS1000) wasn't released until 1974. The design specification was scored in 1971, the same year as TI also released the first system-on-a-chip which consisted of six modules in a common package (the TMS1000 was basically the same six modules on the same die).
Not bad considering the solid state transistor was invented in 1925 (Lilienfeld).
For a GIF of less than two million pixels, say 1600x1200, and each pixel's colour selected from a palette of 256 colours and dependent on neighbouring pixels' colour values derived from the same iterative algorithm run 1 million times to maximise value stability per pixel, you're looking at running the same line of code 4.9152*10^14 times.
Assuming 100% (as in perfect) saturation on a 2GHz processor core, that'll take just over 68 hours.Or, to use the old industry yardstick, 63.2 P90-days.

How so? Property marked as stolen cannot be sold; ergo, it is worthless to the person holding it, it's just taking up space. He might as well just hand it back to its rightful owner, as continuing to hold it is just fucking spiteful.
My assets are my assets, your assets are your assets until you gift them to me at which point they cease to become your property and become my property.
You make nothing evident except your vast ignorance of the Law of Title.
Like I said: you may try and remove any item from my home, but your hands will become my property. YOU will lose title, ownership and control of them and I will keep them in a jar.
but an identifiable mark, like oh ridiculously low exchange pricing, or a fluorescent exploding dye pack... notwithstanding the fact that EVERY single Bitcoin has a FULLY TRACEABLE history.
DVDs are 720p not 1080p. And that's provided it's original qHD material; transfer (from cine or from VHS) is done at 360p. So "My cock is bigger" fail.
By the way, I have a 266MHz Dell CPt that can play DVDs and that DOESN'T have a hardware decoder.
not that the XBox can actually decode a 1080p stream (being an SD box via SCART), but... no. Just tried it. It'll do a buffered transcode, but not live streaming. Can a Raspberry Pi do it? I would think not being a 700MHz single core. Please don't throw out challenges that you know damn well can't be fulfilled with common gear (and no, a 2.4 quad core is NOT common gear).
Backend: commodity Pentium 4 2.6GHz PC (that I was given) with 2TB RAID & laptop with XBMC and 11TB USB storage->Softmodded XBox Crystal Rev. 1.1, 20GB HDD (£15 at good gaming stores), XBMC->TV
my email address is at gmail and is the same as my slashdot username. I get *average* amounts of spam, and zero redirected. That's with a five letter alias. And no, it isn't a random string.

that is actually... really fucking sad. So sad it made me laugh. Is that in itself sad?
and once again, you not only demonstrate your abject ignorance of the Law, you further demonstrate your wilful lack of understanding of English.

wrong.

those 35,000 lost jobs in America in 2013 turned into 70,000 jobs filled in China for one tenth the cost.
Such is the price of offshoring. Still a great idea?

fault.
My friend's assets might not be *my* assets but they're still assets. Gifted assets are under new ownership. Or would you be interested in a bridge?
You're welcome to try and remove anything from my home without MY explicit consent, but I guarantee you your hands will become my personal property.
point still made.
no you're thinking of the nuclear membrane (or lack thereof) which is what prokaryot/eukaryot refers to. Every living thing contains DNA.
I'm a third grader, you insensitive clod!
theft=taking without consent
seizure=taking without consent
therefore:
seizure=theft
You're welcome.
OK. since these bitcoins can be uniquely identified, how about the BTC community REFUSING them? That'll piss in the Fed's cornflakes.
and deprived the Fed of tax revenue because they did it in a currency that the Fed don't control, the Fed get pissy and fucking STEAL IT!?
Something is VERY FUCKING WRONG with this picture!

am I the only one who knows what every term used in the summary means?
giggity.

damn.
well, I'm at... wait, you look familiar.
yeah that was pretty much it according to Hoffman. He was all but drinking the stuff neat and all it was doing to him was intensifying the experience.

all it brings to the top in me is the urge to drink ludicrous amounts of lucozade.
Maybe I have two things... latent crazy carpentry addiction and hypoglycaemia.
