Integrated GPUs suck in general and will continue to suck for some time. Let's assume for the sake of argument that AMD and Intel both understand that x86 performance matters little and the future is power efficient SOCs with decent graphics performance. Let's also have a look at what they've done recently:
AMD - created an atom-like chip with decent graphics performance
Intel - created an even more powerful x86 chip with OK graphics performance
NVidia - announced an ARM chip together with MS announcing windows support for ARM
So long Wintel, Hello Winvidia! I think it's clear that AMD and Intel are crapping their pants and swiftly ousted AMD's CEO to prepare for the merger of AMD and Intel.
I remember some interview with an onLive tech representative talking about leveraging psychovisual properties. They could use these illusion videos as marketing materials!
Regardless of the fact that they told him otherwise, since the check hadn't actually cleared, the bank basically allowed him to overdraft his account by $400k and then took his home to collect the debt. The whole Malaysian scam thing is irrelevant. Does this bank let all of its customers overdraw 6 figures? I think this guy, his lawyer and the bank are all dumb as shit.
worked for me
have you ever seen a cd/dvd repair kit? it's just rubbing compound (about the consistency of toothpaste) and a buffing pad.
extra gritty toothpaste could be a problem though
Making a digital copy of something just doesn't feel like stealing. It's no wonder that people do it all the time without moral qualms.
App stores should prove to be a great thing for software developers since they tend to eliminate casual piracy and make it much more convenient for users to actually purchase.
It's a sickening display of ignorance coming from people who are supposed to be professionals. Nobody takes issue with people investigating alternatives to SQL but SQL has come under heavy fire by NoSQL proponents and yes one can become very sick of hearing the same old fallacious arguments again and again.
unless you're going faster than 2500mph gravity will pull you back into atmosphere (it doesn't thin out to nothing until 700 miles up or so) and you'll slow down without thrust. also you'll probably want thrust to slow down or to change direction if you are going 2500+.. just guessing though IANAw/e
when will we stop calling it 3D? tv/games have been 3D for a while - these new screens are stereoscopic or just stereo seeing as how we don't refer to our stereo speakers as stereophonic
I'm at the Premium Buyer's Exhibition in New York — the 1950's equivalent of the Consumer Electronics Show — and the massive halls are dominated by color TVs made by everyone from RCA to GE and Honeywell to companies you've never heard of. The manufacturers seem pretty excited, but color has so many downsides — most of all the lousy image quality and unimpressive color effect — that I can't imagine consumers are going to go for this. 'As a medium, color remains remarkably self-trivializing. Virtually nobody who works with it can resist flaunting garish stuff at the camera, just to make clear to viewers that they’re experiencing the miracle of color. When Elvis banged away at his piano during RCA’s event, a cameraman zoomed in and out on his ridiculous shoes for no apparent reason, and one of the company’s representatives kept robotically flicking his tie forward. Hey, it’s color — watch this!

there's already an extension to add the status bar functionality back

further more, if you rtfa (or just watch the videos) they demonstrate the effect works when varying color, shape, brightness or size

Just what the hell does that mean anyway?
Not as bad as "sport injected" IMO.

I broke a pin off an old 486 chip once. Didn't do anything about it and the computer worked fine.

Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, coastlines are not circles, and bark is not smooth, nor does lightning travel in a straight line.

given a well-behaved axiomatic system A, questions of the form "Is there a proof of statement s from axioms in A with the proof length at most k?
Didn't Gödel prove that you can't prove this or any statement like this?

most geek arguments are based on the Highlander principle
PS. Don't mix terms like NoSQL and SQL. One is a product, the other is a query syntax.
which one is a product?
it seems crazy but the purest form of Delphi these days is Prism for .NET
what ruined Delphi was its chief architect leaving for MS to create C#
Borland -> Inprise -> Borland was just an annoying thing that happened around the same time.
If you're building a new system you can easily save enough to get your Intel SSD by choosing an AMD CPU
