Its not a separate tcp stream for each remote device.
You think they're doing multicast over the internet? Of course it is a TCP stream per endpoint. Well, it might be UDP or some other protocol, but every time someone connects they get their own stream.
It's not stupidity. Most ways of saving money require an up front investment, from buying the big value pack of toilet paper vs. individual rolls to re-insulating your house and replacing your heat pump with a high efficiency model. If you have no money to make the investment, then you have to use the more expensive option. This is one reason being poor is a trap.
Sure you could replace your bulbs with CFLs, but then you might not have enough money for food/gas/electricity at the end of the month. Your choice. Sure the CFLs will save you lots of money over the long term, but they'll cost you even more if they cause you to miss work because you couldn't afford to gas up your car or get a bus ticket for the last three days of the month and get fired.
Plus there is the constant stress and mental tax of having to weigh the cost of absolutely everything you buy against your limited budget. Being poor is hard.
The immediacy of the message is lost when you use it for multiple decades. The Doomsday clock should have been retired at the end of the cold war. It's a relic, even if it's underlying message is basically still true.
In the long run Climate Change could be that bad, but unlike Nuclear Weapons you aren't going to wake up tomorrow to discover that Kansas has turned to dust. The whole concept of a Doomsday clock doesn't really make sense when you're talking about a slow process.
They should. Congress's approval ratings are in the single digits these days, nobody wants to be associated with that. MRSA is more popular than Congress.
Eliminating incandescent bulbs is nobody's priority anymore, because CFCs are getting cheap enough that that they sell themselves, even to poor people who don't have a lot of money to spend on expensive bulbs, and the market penetration is almost universal, except for those situations where CFCs still don't work well.
I think you mean CFLs.
Poor people still won't buy them, because the incandescent ones will still be cheaper. It's one example of why it's so expensive to be poor.
Official policy is that you're not allowed to talk about the Presidential election for 1 more year, and you really should be waiting 2. At this point, speculation as to what might happen to him politically in two years is a complete waste of air.
The problem with matte screens is that it is much harder to clean finger grease off of them, because it pools down in the little valleys of the screen. For a regular screen this is only an issue when you have that burger eating coworker come in and paw up your screen. With a touchscreen it is a constant problem.
It's not going to void a hardware warranty, what it's going to void is their useless support staff's ability to charge you $50 to install an antivirus application when you bring it in with bad memory.
The horrible primitiveness of cmd.exe is one example of neglect. The documentation available from a console only interface is also quite lacking. I'm not sure if Microsoft even ships a remote commandline access solution for Windows.
It didn't help that for years and years the console was nigh useless on your typical Windows box. Microsoft has made big strides in improving it, but it's still clearly a redheaded stepchild in Redmond.
He's referring to integrating the compiler into your IDE. GCC makes this intentionally difficult, which is a big reason why there is no Visual Studio equivalent system that uses GCC. CLANG/LLVM is designed much more openly and should allow developers to really reach (and exceed) feature parity with Visual Studio.
This headline seems rather sensational since the numbers are so small. The US has roughly 100,000 public schools. The fact that only 49 of them (well, probably some of these are full districts, so the number of schools will be greater) are banning books should be celebrated. This is people fighting the good fight against highly local ignoramuses, not some big national problem. I'm glad they're doing what they're doing, but I'm more glad that it's almost unnecessary.

Call now! Quantities are limited!

Has it ever been anything but political? The whole point was to send a message to the world that hey, Nuclear War is bad, mmkay?

50 year old CFLs?

I was thinking the integrated GPU might be useful for PhysX calculations while the discrete GPU does the graphics.

Calling First Contact "great" is stretching the truth a bit. It was watchable, mostly.

Yeah, until Canonical finally realizes their dream of making a Linux UI just as terrible as Windows 8.
Also, I find matte screens to be more pleasant to the eye than glossy ones, which means no touchscreens for me.
Indirectly, since the Mystery Men character was a parody of one of the most recognizable characters in comics.
Also, they're not in as much danger of losing their jobs if they admit it.

What they can't do is micro-compile snippets of code to find errors, do auto-completion, etc...
I'll let the clang guys explain it better.

That's an asshole headline. The article in question would almost certainly make an argument for "no".
Why do you have a picture of Jamie from Mythbusters?
Tell the woodborers that.
