If you have a very rules-oriented IT department then military guys can fit right in, just don't ever think about assigning them to supervise any non-ex-military staff, it will blow up like a claymore.
So what you are saying is that if you have an ex-military staffer supervise non-military staff, then it will result in a quickly expanding cloud of gasses and steel ball bearings and fragments of claymore casing will fly in all directions, blowing body parts and shredded human flesh and blood in all directions until they splatter across the shattered walls and equipment in the room they were sitting in...
The Chinese already developed ship killing missiles, making most large navy ships no better than targets. Unfortunately that won't change until you get the WW2-tactics trained admirals retired.
The answer to ship killing missiles is to never let your high value ships get within range of the missiles in the first place. A carrier battle group's power lies in its aircraft, which have a longer range than the missiles. Intelligence is key.
Recently released documents confirm that our then-president nixon committed treason, which directly resulted in the deaths of more than 20,000 US servicemen.
President Nixon committed treason?! This is an utter outrage! It cannot stand that he is left unpunished!!! Now we all know what the punishment for treason is, dont we...Death!!!
Death to Nixon for the Crime of Treason!! the man should be dragged out of whatever hole he is hiding in, and he should be executed by the State! Death to Nixon for Treason!
Why is the European Weather Forecast more accurate than the American/USA Weather Forecast model? Also, Intel takes short cuts with their CPU. Intel CPU truncates the math and maybe taking other shortcuts.
You really are pretty clueless about this computing stuff. Please stop posting about things you only have a vague understanding of. It's not a good look.
Otherwise: you get treated like shit, whichever side your on.
What's an on? I didn't even realize I had one.
Welcome to Western English for Speakers of Other Languages, I will be your affable tutor for this short session. Lets begin: I am going to assume that you are a male, for obvious reasons. What this means, is that you are not a female, therefore you are "not on" the female side. Now with some mental gymnastics, you can then figure out that you are therefore "on" the male side. If you do not understand this, please start reading my post again until you do.
Therefore, a female can be said to be "on" the female side, and "not on" the male side.
Thank you for joining me in this Western English short tutorial, remember to keep practicing, and try to speak and write English as much as possible to improve your English skills.
Have a Nice Day.
p.s. this post assumes that English is not your first language. I made this assumption as it would not be proper to assume otherwise, as that would imply that you are a complete fucking moron with not even a basic grasp of the most basic English.
There are 4 boxes to use in the defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, ammo. Use in that order. Starting now.
What use is a soap box to defend liberty? The only soap boxes I can find in the supermarket are the size of a bar of soap (obviously), and I fail to see how this can be useful in any way to defend liberty. Is it a subtle hint that the enemies of liberty need a shower? Buggered if I know....
Ballot box? Lets see...choice #1 or choice #2....how can you choose when neither choice changes anything?
Jury box? I guess thats a way to defend liberty...but how can you in secret courts that have no juries?
Now the ammo box I can understand...Murica! F yeah! Murica! MURICAAAA!!!! Land of the FREE! Freedom! Democracy! Liberty! Guns!!...but the government have bigger guns and tanks and armored vehicles and drones and aircraft and ships and missiles and....yeah, fat lot of good your guns will do.
Maybe its tile to finally retire that faded old meme. Its utterly meaningless nowadays.
How does this stop them from wearing it all day in pants pockets, while at the Apple Campus In Cupertino(tm)? That facility is more tightly controlled than a nuclear power station, no member of the public will ever see it within that building.
I cannot see how they failed to test it in house with real world conditions.
But thankfully, Apple being Apple, if there is a genuine issue, they will fix it. Antennagate was fixed when they realised their mistake, it will be the same with bendygate if its a real issue.
What your statement doesnt realise is the possibility of a nuke being used, not by a rogue state, but by a terrorist organization. You have to remember that these Islamist Jihadists are very very happy to die in the service of Allah. They WANT it. They will be instantly admitted into Heaven, and they will have a fun filled literal eternity to enjoy their 72 virgins and other fruits of Heaven. They will be heroes and martyrs and will experience an existence far more enjoyable than this comparative hell on earth.
If they can set a nuke off against their enemies and non-believers, they will in no way shape or form have any fear of dying from the response, they will look forward to it. They desire to die in the name of God far more than they desire to live.
These people truly believe this, deep in their hearts.
This changes everything. The normal rules of war do not apply to those who really really want to die for their God. The rewards are far in excess to any pain and suffering they may experience on Earth.
Can we please stop the use of logic, deductive reasoning and empirical evidence when debunking conspiracy theories? It is a complete waste of time due to the first rule of conspiracy theories:
Rule #1 of Conspiracy Theories: Any and all evidence debunking a conspiracy is part of the conspiracy.
The typical response will be that NVidia is part of the conspiracy, therefore all results from Nvidia are completely and utterly wrong in every possible way.
Trying to convince a conspiracy theorist that he/she is wrong is akin to trying to convince the Pope that god indeed does not exist. You are wasting your time no matter how right you are.
One will be 10,000 meters above the surface while the other is 33,000 feet above.
Be very, very careful there. NASA once mixed up normal and American measurement units, with disastrous mission ending results. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M...
I tried the old and relatively crappy DK1 Rift, and for all its instantly perceivable limitations, and as a VR first timer, it was still an exercise in pants-wetting, literally jaw-dropping awe. No technology has ever come close to it in the levels of amazement and excitement for the future. ( seeing my first 3D video card render from the days of software rendering is the closest, but not that close)
But im pretty disappointed at the typical new-Slashdot reaction to what is truly an exciting and literally awesome technology. The Slashdot Hate Machine is inexplicable and relentless, and nothing is spared from the stomp of its soul crushing boots. It seems, no matter what technology is created, the hate and adolescent invective knows no bounds.
I want the old Slashdot back. It was very informative, genuinely funny at times (dont tell me a shark-laser joke is genuinely worth the now-guaranteed +5 Funny), and was the only place on the 'net that I could find and share in that level of expertise and genuine interest and excitement in Science and Technology. The last few years have been a sad and disturbing decline in the quality of commenters in Slashdot.
Dark matter simply means matter that is too small to be detected by what humans have so far developed to see, but which gravity study suggests should be there. Seventy years ago, Pluto was probably "dark matter". Giving a name to "everything" we can't see and then finding evidence that there's something more is a bit curious. What hasn't been "seen" yet is "dark". We will eat away at "dark" matter one snapshot at a time.
No, thats not correct. Dark matter is not matter that is "too small" to detect currently. Its matter that does not interact with electromagnetic radiation ( light, radio waves, gamma waves etc ) in any way, shape or form. We know its there from its gravitational interactions, that is correct. But it is not affected and does not affect electromagnetic radiation, or electric or magnetic fields. Its size is not the issue that makes it so difficult to detect.
I can hear the screams from the obsessively outraged already.....
"The summary and article are completely unacceptable in this day and age, and are totally politically incorrect. You cannot call it "Fire Retardant", that is a grave insult and a huge slap in the face for all intellectually disabled people the world over. You should be calling it Oxidation-Challenged-Fire Control Liquid"
Wow, thats pretty impressive that this "retina" can do this in real time, but whats most impressive is that it can do it by a factor of 400 volts. No other machine even comes close, they are sitting somewhere in the 250 microvolt factor range.
Champagne for the first team to break the kilovolt factor barrier!
For everybody living out the the Bahamas, Palau, the USA, Belize and the Cayman Islands who struggle with the odd Imperial system, the temperature range of this SD card is between -25C and 85C.
James Clapper. So why was he not fired when he was found to have lied under oath to congress ?
Because he is one of the most proficient supporters in the USA. Anybody asks him for a hand, and its an immediate *clap clap clap*. Nobody in recent memory is as skilled in the art of clapping as James Clapper. If anybody needs support, especially in crowds, he is the first one people think of asking.

"Ultrasmall" is not a word.
"Ultra-small" or "ultra small" are better, but sound way too stupid.
"Extremely small", "smallest yet" are better alternatives.
Why does it matter?
No, seriously, I would like to know why it matters enough to whingepoast.

All that matters to me is that Minesweeper is now in sync. Have you played it without sync technology? It's uncivilized!!
What is this minesweeper you talk about? I looked on Steam, but cant find anything.
Please dont tell me this is some ancient analog card game or something...

Keep it classy, Religion.
We were never able to destroy the world several times over...
Over 1,000 nuclear weapons have been detonated on Earth in the past 50+ years...
We're all still here...
It would take more than we've got to kill everyone, much less do any real lasting harm to the planet...
Those "1000 nuclear weapons" were not all detonated at once on top of populated major cities and military bases.
Try that and see how many die and how the planet responds.

Im sorry, but its too late. We are living in the Orwellian world right now.
We are being spied upon and tracked and monitored and analysed in ways that would make 1984's Big Brother very very proud indeed.
All we can do now is try to live with it as best we can.
And before anybody comes up with that quaint idea of voting it out of existence, please come back to reality.
Coffee is shit.

Thankfully, you are in no way, shape or form the "target market". Your "640k" argument is irrelevant.
