1. Is this operations per second per watt or operations per second?
2. Is this LINPACK metric something that exercises the Crey's massive pipeline architecture, where huge arrays of numbers (the vectors) were operated on at lightning speed through pipeline (assembly line-style) chip design? Or is it just a looping test?
I hope that when people in these countries search for censored stuff, they get presented with a page that says:
Results hidden from you because angry men with guns pointed at us have made us hide it from you. This is part of their control mechanism over you that lets them maintain their power over you.

This. [b]more[/b] things are using bigger processors and non-trivial amounts of RAM now. When they can show fewer rather than more people having computers at work, let me know.
And look for home tablets to have keyboards and mice as optional accessories more and more, as the novelty of a touchscreen wears off.
The thing is, ya gotta ask, "Would old King George III of England have used it against the colonists?" If yes, it probably should be banned Constitutionally.
Oh wait, this is Texas. Ummmm, would Santa Anna have used it against Davy Crockett at The Alamo? Yes he would have.
Try watching the extended video with the sound down. It's closer to Monte Python quality then you think and a complete riot.
There's a scene where some Arabs or something run around with huge beards that look incredibly fake. I thought of the scene where the women are all lined up to be the stone throwers at an execution.
There is a good strategy to let people have their say, so we can all laugh and mock them, rather than silencing them.
Freakonomics details the one-man crusade against the KKK in the US, basically by exposing all their secret rituals and so on, essentially changing them from a truly active, vicious organization to a good ol' boys bitchfest and knitting circle.
The human tendency is to want to shut people up, when in fact, the opposite is what's successful.

Methinks you have your order of operations backwards. Politicians seek power so they can lord over people, and corporations, and use laws to get in the way, in exchange for donations legal or otherwise, to get back out of the way.
A corporation who, golly, stands up to government can look to less help and more harm in the future, as these laws are Lovingly Crafted For The People's Benefit.
Except once knowledge of the accurate model is wide spread it will change the outcome events, in sort of a societal uncertainty principle.
Only if you can do anything about it. What can you do about global warming and peak oil, at least in the short term?
Let capitalism in a free economy do its work.
How many of you are driving around with $5+ a gallon gas this summer, as news media and disasterbaters this spring were screaming over and over and over again?
We need to track these predictions and mock them when they fail so we stop seeing Slashdot articles about inanities. Don't mod me down, fools. RECORD THESE AND WATCH AS THEY FAIL YET AGAIN.
Ok, quick question -- how do they determine what set of chemical markers in DNA constitute a "gene"? It seems like that could only be known by outcomes research by "running" the DNA to see what each little chunk produced.
They claim it's been successfully decoded, but that code rule and examples are not provided. As they give the steps to generate such a picture, it would be otherwise easy enough to verify.
Either someone at Slashdot is a major league communost or Putin-apologist, or actually thinks this retread of 20 year old show science is something novel.
May we expect a piece on the cool scientific discoveries of Dr. Mengele next?
Assume they were US-funded. So what? A proper nation still reflects free speech. Russia, like other dictatorships, hires public relations firms in the US.
This will flop miserably, and nobody will hear of it again.
I recall the year after Katrina (and 3 other hurricanes that year) where "experts" predicted that year would also have many severe hurricanes. It was a mild year.
These "experts" have not heard of things like regression to the mean. The unusual result is not the standard, even in the presence of a slowly shifting standard.

It's the Argentine government that's gaming the system, not PayPal or the Argentine people.
They fuck around, people want out, government clamps down to keep them in as part of whatever scheme it's trying.
That article is a poorly-written piece of shit.

Be careful of new laws: "No company can track you, but the government can do whatever it wants."
They're perfectly content to let you rage on about the pseudo-evil of corporations while Sauron bides his time.

Isn't deciding this really the job of the legislature? Clarifying new things?
But that would require elected officials to grow balls.
It's lower case, but "weeeesh". They're using helium, now. Didn't you read the article?
Zomg I'll bet they did the coconuts sounds from Holy Grail.
And if that works, can they use the developed technique to fix the waving back and forth from every single release of the 1980 Heavy Metal movie?

Or...it's the work of extremely elite developers. Now that the cat's out of the bag that the major powers are actively engaged in cyber warfare...

The temptation to misuse this system to spy on girls in the locker room must be terrible. You poor men.
In any case, they now have a reference for goon behavior they can also include in the game.

Putin jails his detractors, or murders them.

I hope nobody remembers those clowns, either.
