Or Congress. This agency started its life with a leader that used blackmail as a standard law enforcement technique. The FBI should have been dismantled from the ground up when Hoover died as his ghost still haunts the agency in all it's actions.
Funny, but these are probably be fixed because Cisco is absolutely being destroyed in the enterprise security publications for all the unfixed vulnerabilities including things that are 10 years old like SSL 2.0 still being enabled. They were absolutely destroyed in the press for unfixed vulnerabilities a couple weeks ago by IIRC CERT, I have a feeling it's starting to effect their sales and they are responding so they don't loose all sales.
Up here in Utah we had the same warming at the same time period it was 60degrees on the week of the 17th. The flowers have already started to come up and the birds are returning. More than 2 months ahead of schedule (normally wouldn't occur till mid April to may). I'm a little over 40 and I cannot remember, nor can my 80 year old parents any time in their lifetimes or mine when this has happened. And it's not a freak occurrence, though this is the earliest it's been, just two years ago this was in the 2nd week of march, still months ahead of the normal time frame.
It seems that every year it's happening a little bit sooner and the freak occurrence isn't the warming being sooner but a winter that runs a normal length. At least in the desert southwest this scares the daylights out of me because this area won't be habitable if rainfall/snowfall patterns change. We could end up with water riots and the exact same thing could happen in Phoenix but worse because a good chunk of Phoenix's water comes from the Colorado which draws it's water from snow melt in Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. Not to mention the Arizona rivers that could dry up as well.
The year of the Linux Desktop was achieved long ago with the success of Android. In 2015 Android controlled 65% of cellular phones in the US, 70% in Europe and similar or higher numbers throughout the rest of the world. Nearly 3/4s of the world cellular devices are now Linux based.
That success is expanding rapidly in things like Chromebooks which have been in the top 3 sales spots on Amazon for something like 3 years straight.
Linux is here and has been for a long time now, did you miss it? Or are you trying to argue that it's not a "desktop" because it's on a phone.
Dividing a check by 3 isn't long division. No one does long division by hand. He's very very right about long division. They should still teach it, as in the methodology behind it, but they shouldn't spend 4 years in elementary school teaching something no one will ever use. And not just teaching it but making students spend hours doing problem after problem. If they hadn't wasted all that time on long division they could have been introducing more abstract mathematical concepts that are far more valuable like algebra and trigonometry.
To this day I have no idea why I had to do so much long division. I'm not even sure I could still do it many many years later because I've never ever used it.
Too noisy? Are you for real? In real life people don't get handouts with all the necessary information on them but they do have books and learning to use them and in particular when to use them is a critical skill you are failing to teach.
Open book exams don't just teach the material, they teach other very important things and I'm surprised as a teacher you don't realize that. Open book exams are standard in the applied sciences (Engineering) for this reason. As the previous poster mentioned, if you don't know the material an open book exam isn't going to help you but it sure as hell teaches you how to prioritize learning, test time management and how and when to look for information.
Iceland is not part of Europe. I know they want to be part of Europe but there is no geographic or political definition that can put Iceland within Europe. They aren't part of the Asian Continent, they aren't relatively close to the Continent. They aren't geologically part of the same continental plate and they aren't part of the EU.
Yea you can but them from re-sellers. His point still stands, you aren't getting those NDA protected design documents from Broadcom from that re-seller. The only people that get those documents are the clients willing to buy enough parts to interest Broadcom directly. Sure you can buy a chip from Digikey or whoever with 3 times third party markup, but that chip comes with zero knowledge and support. All you are buying is the raw silicon.
This is the problem with government run energy. An accident can embarrass the politicians so there will be a cover up.
Almost half the superfund sites in the US are government caused. Typically by the military. They were dumping all kinds of toxic stuff on the ground for decades and never told a soul because they were the government, they weren't accountable to anyone but their superiors that told them to do it.
If we're looking ahead by more than ten years, it is by no means clear that an EDF-built nuclear plant would generate cheaper electricity than a 2025-market PV installation in southern parts of France. So an economic argument makes perfect sense here.
Nice made up numbers you've got there. Installed PV without subsidy is currently cheaper than nuclear and installation and panel costs have continued to fall at around 20% per year. Wind is way cheaper, and the UK has some of the best wind sites in the world just off shore. Why don't you research the real costs and come back with real current numbers, not something from 20 years ago or that you made up.
GaN isn't cutting edge. It's just super expensive. The only real use for GaN, due to the cost, is in radio transmitters and a few other niches where they need the ability of GaN to run at faster MHZ than silicon can support and can afford to pay the ridiculous process costs. GaN will remain a niche in process tech until they can find a way to make chips cheaper and they've been trying for a very long time. A lot of companies have come and gone trying to improve GaN because of the promise.
I can remember in the 90's is was the big fad that GaN was going to replace silicon. You can hopefully see how well that worked out.
Microsoft buys game companies and a few years later shuts them down. You can almost guarantee that any game company that MS purchases will be run into the ground in about 3 years. See once all the higher ups have fulfilled their obligations to stay for a certain amount of time they flee Microsoft and start another game company using all the funds they extracted from MS. Shortly after it's a bloodbath and everyone that's any good jumps ship.
Microsoft, it's where good game companies go to die.
Deflation is very very bad. Japan calls an entire decade the lost decade because they suffered through 10 years of deflation where the entire economy declined while their currency kept getting stronger. At the end the Japanese economy was so damaged that they may never recover.
Gold is great until you need more of it, which you always do, because economies grow (all being well) and extra money is needed to support that.
Or you have an accident or theft that loses a vast quantity of gold. When the USS Central America Ship sank in hurricane in 1857 it was carrying 15 tons (in today's dollars $50 Billion) of San Francisco gold rush gold in it's holds. This single event caused an economic crash and run on the banks in the US due to the gold standard.
When the sinking of a ship can cause a run on the banks you need to rethink what you are basing your economy on.
There are no proper external PCIe because of electrical limitations. PCIe is a high bandwidth low latency connection that has limited distances, it was never designed to be used over cables. I can't recall the distance limit but it's something like a total trace length of less than 15 inches.
Intel use Thunderbolt and a couple custom chips to convert and transmit only 4 lanes across a cable and the whole thing is ridiculously expensive. Your graphics card needs 16 lanes, or 4 separate TB connections all with their own chips embedded on both sides.
Code that is instructions to tell a computer what to do is not "communication."
So if I'm telling you how to do something it's not speech? You've just destroyed education, the government can control who teaches and what they teach.
Code is speech, it has an artistic component and is primarily functional but it's still speech. The courts have already rules on this several times with good precedent.
The 14th amendment would prevent the government for retaliating at apple by revoking their use of unrelated public property. Talk about an abuse of power the court would absolutely stomp.
Like any employer some of their employees hail from each party, and some of those are rabid believers just like there are elsewhere. The FBI is broken into little fiefdoms where individual leaders have say over what cases they pursue. Those leaders have various political affiliations and levels of enthusiastically in their beliefs. Some are undoubtedly influenced by political motivations just like the rest of the country.
The FBI has always been relatively independent since hoover founded them and stayed in charge for his entire life by blackmailing congress people and presidents using FBI resources. This history still has impacts on how the FBI behaves. I personally don't trust them at all and think they should have been broken up years ago.
No IBM wants to get paid because they are trying to hit some super ridiculous profit margin growth targets. They are laying off 10's of thousands of US employees right now and it's going to be the death of IBM IMO because they are selling out the future for short term profits. They are going to turn into the biggest patent troll the world has ever seen but their profit margins will be phenomenal when the only employees are lawyers!
So you are under the assumption that Obama went through the FBI and justice department and fired every single person that was not Democratic. I see your malfunction.

Not enough bandwidth. TB is 4 PCIe lanes. Your graphics card uses 16 of those lanes. Trying to use TB would handicap the GPU.
Only problem is you've still handicapped the CPU by "trying to cram the cards into the laptop format".
Maybe they can put the CPU in the external enclosure too.
