What I'm really interested in is the future low-cost, sub-USD$100, entry-level, 10-series GPU cards. If they can do it with laptops, surely they can do it for graphic cards too. Would a fanless version be possible, given the area available for a card in a desktop computer?
Apple won't be able to put M-version nVidia GPUs in their computers anymore. And with Skylake having less powerful integrated graphics than Haswell, they'll have no choice but to use these new nVidia GPUs for their Macs.
Although I'm sure they'll prove me wrong in a few months.
"The level of sophistication required to exploit most of the vulnerabilities we found is somewhere between that possessed by a coffee stain on the Duo lunch room floor and your average potted plant - meaning, trivial."
That sounds like something Douglas Adams would have wrote.
This planet has a problem, which is this: most of the people living on it are unhappy pretty much all of the time. Many solutions are suggested for this problem, but most of these are largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it isn't the small green pieces of paper that are unhappy.
Many are increasingly of the opinion that we've all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some say that even the trees have been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans.
The thing is, almost everything we do these days in our modern world is run by a computer of some kind. While I agree that not everyone should or even can learn to code, they should at least be given a basic coding level course, it could be in BASIC for all I care. The only thing people really have to learn from these classes is that computers have memory (like the memory on a calculator, but a computer has millions of them), can perform math operations on these memory cells and can decide do to things based on the values of those memory cells.
The thing is, what they really need to learn should fit inside a single one-hour class, maybe two hours if you have a Q&A session.
Even a simple Arduino Pro mini clone on eBay costs under 2 US Dollars and is much more powerful. You could probably get a classic Arduino clone with a color TFT LCD shield with a built-in gamepad and buttons for the price of that BBC Micro:Bit with its lame LED matrix.

You know we're all in big trouble once the Department of recursivity department merges with the Department of redundancy department.

Hey guys, look! An HTML Wizard is amongst us!
After sending people to Mars, I don't expect anything less than plans to colonize Jupiter and Saturn!
I prefer the videogames with the amazing boobs physics! Especially the swimsuit editions!
And who cares what religious idiots say in 2016?
Can't we just use warp speed, light speed or ludicrous speed?
Cause, effect, causality, preserving the timeline and the human race. How hard is that to understand?

Just put solar panels all over the car body. Problem solved, once and for all.
On Slashdot, I always assume people are both.
C'est clair que Anonymous Coward est un osti de moron.
Hey, at least he isn't sexist!
I see what you did there.
Who's to say I'm not mailing myself in a huge box?
I send my phone on a country-wide trip once a month or so. I'm in New Brunswick and I send it to an invalid address in British Columbia.

Just on the inside.
Not a TFT colour LCD, but still better than a simple LED matrix. It's under USD$6.00 too.
12.99 British Pounds equals 18.71 US Dollars.
The Raspberry Pi Zero only costs 5 US Dollars.
Even a simple Arduino Pro mini clone on eBay costs under 2 US Dollars and is much more powerful. You could probably get a classic Arduino clone with a color TFT LCD shield with a built-in gamepad and buttons for the price of that BBC Micro:Bit with its lame LED matrix.
It works on Windows XP? Windows 98SE? Windows 3.11?
