not if you want your high performance rendering for your video games.
Cant we have a choice? Security or speed?
The last time I played it computer game, it was DOS based. Or maybe
colossal cave? I don't Need a GPU (and would not buy anything from NVidia if
I did. Their own support for Linux is terrible, and Nouveau does not even work).
our web surfing history is to be available to EVERY official without a warrant
The message from Snowden is that that the government cannot keep secrets. If they have your surfing history, it is probably available on a USB stick in all markets in Karachi for $1.99 ONO.
And probably everyone's surfing history can be bought for download for $49.99 from QVC or BlackHatsRus.com for 0.5 Bitcoin.
Oracle is such a pile of shite it does not actually work unless you have a support contract. and even then, the features you use are likely to be abandoned without warning unless you are a major first world government (and probably even then, but I cant speak from experience on that).
OTOH, your "theoretically correct" Oracle implementation, is probably actually correct, and can trivially be ported to Postgresql. If your are lacking performance, spend the money you saved on Oracle licences (and managing them) on buying another Sparc Txxxx (or as many as required), and you are back in business.
Look how different a 1968 Ford Galaxy looks to today's Ford Galaxy! And think how much pollution you can create with a supercharged 500 cubic inch engine! Forget about VW's puny 100 cubic inches.
My 89 year old mother was a Fortran programmer in the 1960s. Two of my friends had fathers who taught programming in the 1950's.
Why is it not possible that the correct amount of urea can be applied during any combination of RPM, throttle position, air temp, etc. when we can do that just fine for fuel (in diesel or gas engines)?
Because, unlike for combustion, where all these are inputs to a single combustion process, the urea injection takes place down stream of a length of exhaust pipe whose condition is cycling very rapidly through a huge range under the influence of a huge number of variables. In a heavy truck (I am not talking about 1.8 litre VWs but 18 litre trucks - these are what causes the majority of London pollution) which cycle continuously from idling to full speed and back in about 30 seconds as they go through the gears - at 10HP per ton you need full power to keep up with normal traffic acceleration, and they typically have 12 to 24 gears. There is massive variability in completeness of combustion: temperature of exhaust gas, pressure, velocity, turbulence etc are all unstable.
urea consumption is only ~1/20th the amount of diesel the engine consumes with diesel consumption in the order of 3MPG, and the large number of trucks on the road, that is still a lot of urea.
As to "safe" - I agree it does not kill you, but I remain unconvinced that having it continually sprayed into your eyes and nose is OK. I live in the middle of a one-way street system that is effectively a large roundabout, and I am a former truck driver. I have a degree in engineering, have rebuilt petrol and diesel engines, and studied chemistry to first year degree level.
I do not claim to know everything, but I do know that "Euro 4" and later engines (with urea injection) cause massively more irritation to ears, noses and lungs than (cool burning) 1950's smoke emitting horrors ever did. And DPFs can be made in other ways that the system that needs to be reheated (will only explain how to do it my way if you pay for the patent).
If you can point me to any document describing on road exhaust pollutant tests done with urea injection on both slightly overloaded and empty trucks accelerating away from a standing start uphill (after rolling down hill with the exhaust brake on to cool the engine) in heavy traffic, in a variety of weather conditions, then I am quite prepared to be overruled.
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice???
On a test bed, sure the right amount of urea is dispensed. While accelerating through 24 gears from the traffic lights up hill? there is not a bat's chance in hell that the amount is correct.
The so called "clean diesel" is not only emitting vast amounts of NOx, it is also emitting vast amounts of un-reacted urea.
The entire VW story is a red herring to protect the urea suppliers' gravy train.
Older engines did not run so hot, and so did not produce NOx, but were marginally less fuel efficient. The way to remove smoke/particulates is with a filter. Nothing to do with NOx/urea.
Out of "Old world", "New world", "Third world", Australia is most definitely "New world".
I think the Australian government is most definitely guilty, and most unlikely to be proved innocent, about anything, ever. I proclaim the present Australian government completely wrong, about almost everything, and I suspect that I am not alone.
Should the State of Texas sue God for the storms and hurricanes they are suffering?
Hell, yeah!
Its more sensible than a lot of other things that happen in Texas, and the movie rights would be worth even more than the legal fees. Unless God's legal team actually win and Texas has to pay - where is Chuck Norris when you need him?.
I can do this with my Galaxy S3. I have yet to find a way to plug a SCSI card into my S3, and I doubt your iPhone is any different in that respect. However, I live in hope of scsi-over-ip being implemented by a third party on Android.
Hell, I would do it myself if anyone would fund me.
You are the idiot. He is describing his own experience. It may not be the same as yours, but its the same as mine. I have not seen a Surface yet, and the only person I know with a Windows phone thinks it is an iPhone.
Mint vanishes? simple as a pimple - go to Ubuntu-Gnome. Same apps, same performance, marginally different UI perhaps. Moving from one Linux distro to another is trivial (if sightly annoying). Not like moving from Apple to Windows or vice-versa.
MS problem is that they have spent the last 20 years pulling the rug from under their phone users' feet, and expect them not to remember.
Before you get off my lawn, let me remind you:
In the beginning there was a mainframe with no software. Since no one had used one before, no one noticed the lack of software. Then there were loads more, but one or two had an OS and a compiler or two, and before too long, large numbers of potential buyers had been burned. All the manuf's without software were toast.
Then there was a minicomputer. Suddenly the market was 1,000 times bigger. Since no one had used one before, no one noticed the lack of software. Then there were loads more, but only one or two had an OS and a compiler or two, and before too long, large numbers of potential buyers had been burned. All the manuf's without software were toast.
Then there was a PC. Suddenly the market was 1,000,000 times bigger. Since no one had used one before, no one noticed the lack of software. Then there were loads more, but only one or two had an OS and a compiler or two, and before too long, large numbers of potential buyers had been burned. All the manuf's without software were toast.
Then there was a smart phone. Suddenly the market was 1,000,000,000 times bigger. Since no one had used one before, no one noticed the lack of software. Then there were loads more, but only one or two had an OS and a compiler^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H app or two, and before too long, large numbers of potential buyers had been burned. All the manuf's without software were toast.
Now the market is everyone on the planet. Everyone has been burned by crap hardware, lack of support/infrastructure, etc. PT Barnum was right, there is one born every minute, but a market of one is not great if you product relies on volume to fly.
The warm, fuzzy feeling you get from buying MS is like the warm, fuzzy feeling you get from a blow on the head with a blunt object, not like the warm fuzzy feeling you get from a fine Single Malt Whisky
The moral is: if your customers end up feeling shafted, you can only get away with it for so long.
Unfortunately, the option you are probably faced with is paying a premium for cable that will burn your house down. Theoretically EU standards mandate performing tests that demonstrate your cable will not burn the house down.
However, Govmints are evil, so your house burns down. Its the Murican way, hell yeah! And we, in the EU suck the Murican dick.

However, there are no flying IEDs. The whole idea is terminally stupid - there are so many better ways to deliver explosives.
Just don't mention the lasers!
Here, we only get Pita bread!
Failing that, we now have class actions here, so how about it guys?

And the fact that it produces dangerous waste that must be supervised "for ever" and the cost of infinite supervision is infinite.
I think you will find infinity is larger than the (proposed cost of all other energy sources)^10.
Your pork barrel may differ.
Unless you are selling horse shit.
