In the words of the fed, inflation is too low. Some countries are trying to figure out how to avoid deflation. Target inflation is ~2% per year. Last year it was ~1/3 that.
It's a french word, and it is is definitely pronounced with a "sh" at the beginning, not a "ch" sound.
The woman in the commercial got it right. If you don't want to pronounce it right, just say "chair" instead of telling people who can speak french that they're saying it wrong.
Just because it wouldn't make calls any more is no reason to junk a smartphone. Making calls is the least used feature on smartphones. And since the internet worked, she can still communicate via email, facebook messenger, skype, twitter, etc. And there's always texting if that part still functions. And it's still a pocket-sized media player, camera, music player, radio, video camera, etc. For calls, she can get a cheapie flip phone if she really needs it - but since she's the next generation, she probably doesn't.
Absolutely. And the title is realy stupid. "One Hoss Shay" - if the horse dies, get another horse, and vice versa. No need to throw everything out just because the horse died, same as no reason to throw a vehicle just because the engine died.
Their fixed costs would be lower because they wouldn't be spending money on producing or buying shows that don't have enough viewers to justify it. Supply and demand 101.
I've been 100% OTA for decades. I don't *need* to watch any particular show.
As I pointed out, the adhesive makes both a way to spread the pressure and act as a sealant for cracks. The "we could melt the snow" is obvious bs, unless they've embedded reinforcing wires that have the right resistance in the upper layer of laminate, which could work.
As far as the "use expensive materials in a complex sandwich". glass laminates aren't complicated at all. And the best part is, the glass doesn't even need to be totally transparent for this to work.
Look at the good side - having users report regressions makes them more involved. Sure, they'll be cheesed off when they hit a snag, but that's the only path to get them to be grateful when it's fixed:-)
Most people would just say the kernel name. Simple. We don't need to excessively label stuff - that just leads to more confusion (just look at the explosion of stupid cpu names to see what I mean).
How is doing the same thing as someone else has done (it's been done before, as I think was mentioned in the comments) funnier the second time around? The problem is, nobody is going to take him seriously, so it's all for naught. Changing his name a second time in several months is not only going to cause him problems with the provincial health plan, the motor vehicle dept, income tax and withholding taxes, but probably flag him. Even in the US, where name changes are as cheap as $25, doing it too many times, they will insist you get a court order to approve it.
Also, most people do not need state of the art. Want != need. Let them pay the first adopter price, same as gamers. I'll be able to buy the same stuff a few years later for 10 - 20 cents on the dollar, and the games will be very heavily discounted (if I were into games, that is).
Include and source files on one drive, temp files on the other. (you'll only be reading the include files, so more cache hits and less movement). Same with reading files off the temp drive, since the temp drive cache won't be polluted with include files.
Your source sucks. The estimate was from 2011 (click the "Further info" tab), when estimated market share was predicted to be 1.8%. (predicted, because 2011 obviously wasn't finished). No wonder you post AC.
You don't seem to understand - even with constant repetition, your opinion does not magically materialise (sic) into facts.
And I would say "right back at you." You haven't provided any facts, whereas I've noted that many new laptops still have VGA - even those with expensive i7 chips. Just search tiger direct - you'll see them there.
Gaseous water doesn't have to just be steam. Think of how hot it feels on a humid day. That's not steam, because it would condense out into water droplets when it hit air below the boiling point, creating the "steam clouds" (which are actually liquid water condensate) that we associate with steam.
They've already solved the problem of slickness. And laminated glass, with the topmost layer being considered as sacrificial, works far better than just tempered glass. For even more strength and tolerance to flexing under load, you can embed carbon fibers or nano-wires in the adhesive used for laminating the layers of glass. Light still gets through just fine. And the adhesive gluing them to the road surface will also help spread any forces, to help prevent an initial crack under stress.

I suspect almost as many phones get lost as fail.
Ever dropped your phone on concrete and not have it show any damage? Phones are pretty good in terms of build quality.

It's yet another submission by the hack-a-day shill. That's pretty much all he does here - try to get people to his crappy website.
The whole thing is called a "dogcart" in english (read enough sherlock holmes, you'll figure it out. A one-horse carriage.

We get it, you're a hackaday shill.

No need to over-react :-)

Truth hurts, doesn't it?
And if you had actually read a few of the articles, you would have known that Norse wasn't in the security field either.
I wouldn't bother with anyone who brags "not just in real-time, but live"
"It's not a bug when you can feature it" :-p

And nobody gives a damn. It's performance that counts, and if the performance is great, who cares? Same as if the chip were from AMD.
I'm not going to pay several times the price for an i7 when I can get everything I want done for less than half the price and a lot less heat.

Irrelevant if you're going to build the road to support trucks anyway.
