If Curiosity's wheels fall off and can't move anymore, there might be another use for Curiosity
As long as the camera still functioning, as long as the power generation unit still functioning, and as long as Curiosity can still send messages back to earth, the rover can be used as a "telescope" stationed at Mars
The air of Mars is clean, with no pollutants, and the sky is clear, VERY VERY CLEAR, out there
In the case of the Muslim Brotherhood, the grudge is more aiming at the "immorality of the Western world" than anything else
The Internet (at least that cable) is a symbol of Internet, and to many of those holier than thou folks, the Net is a "tool of the West" that brings in all kinds of filth
It really sends chills up my spine reading TFA --- it IS that easy to identify and track and predict the location of any individual based on what TFA has outlined !!
Man... I think I gotta get more cellphones with different phone companies, that way I can rotate the use of the phones to cut down of the chance of being identified
I wonder if if there was any collaboration between those from the Linux camp (Redhat / Ubuntu) and those who are behind UEFI, prior to the wide adoption of UEFI on new computers ?
The troubles that are faced by Linux users (for example, the bricking of Samsung laptops) could have been avoided if there was more collaboration / understanding between those two camps
They could have... hired some decent writers instead of spending 70 million on fancy CGI and celebrity voices, and then making the same cliched shitpile we see every two or three months
I can't agree with you more !!!
The development of the CGI technology has opened up a lot of possibilities and leveling the playing fields for many MANY people
But on the other hand, the relative ease of applying CGI animation and effects into movies also gave rise to a whole lot of JUNKS
Hollywood is indeed in decline - back in the days when Ben-Hur was made, it wasn't only the epic sets (it was the largest ever made) that made waves, but the story line, the scripting, the twist and turn, and the suspense, that grabbed the attention of the audience
Nowadays we have movies that are essentially "flat" --- the storyline is flat, the acting is flat, even the overdone CGI animation/effects come out looking "flat"
They have taken the FUN out of movie making, and also, movie watching
There are stories that are straight forward, and making an informative summary for that type of stories are no brainers
But for stories that are a little bit complicated, it's not that easy to condense it into an informative summary of that story
I have submitted enough stories to slashdot (and end up with 99% rejection) to know that to do the job well requires much more than a word-selection algorithm
Since Yahoo is paying a hefty sum for that app, perhaps Yahoo knows something that I don't
With so many people calling themselves "journalists" - I think we have the most number of "journalists" in this world right now than any other period of human history - it is ironic that REAL JOURNALISM has gone to the dogs
As one of the 2nd batch pioneers (since late 1970's) of the Silicon Valley I have assembled myself a portfolio of very lucrative investments, including, but not limited to Amazon
As for the divestment of the Amazon stocks, rest assure --- even if I sell out the stocks I will not sell them to you
Everyone is indeed, entitled to vacation or hobby of one's choice
That is, as long as the vacation and/or hobby does not take away the time, the needed attention and the effort of a CEO in steering the company to new heights
As a CEO myself I know my priority and arrange my daily life accordingly
I do not understand why everybody and their great-grandmother's dog are drolling all over and goo-goo--gaa-gaa over the "memory bandwidth" thing
Even if that rig is dedicated for massive game-playing, what portion of the time the GPGPU needs to tap on the full strength of the 1TB/s memory bandwidth ?
Furthermore, the average rig wouldn't even use 0.1% percent of its time hitting the 1TB/s threshold
Which means, 99.9% of the time the GPGPU can get by with lower memory bandwidth requirements

Yes, but who might have a grudge against Egypt?
In the case of the Muslim Brotherhood, the grudge is more aiming at the "immorality of the Western world" than anything else
The Internet (at least that cable) is a symbol of Internet, and to many of those holier than thou folks, the Net is a "tool of the West" that brings in all kinds of filth
The MB does not like the West very much, and that cable links Egypt to (in their way of thought) the West
Maybe that's the reason they cut the cable
I learn something very useful today !!

Nexus devices are available in Hongkong and in Taiwan

That "IOIO-OTG" thingy is out of stock, unfortunately
...surely if a tea bag exists than a coffee bag does not deserve a patent
Please correct me if I am wrong ... I do recall that someone did receive at least one patent related to coffee bag
90% of new solution may be, as TFA stated, re-adaption of existing solutions into other fields
But that's not "innovation" in pure sense
Innovation is something that is new
It may be a combination of two old items, like putting tea leafs in a bag made of paper, the result, however, is a brand new thing
That "90%" quote from TFA is akin to replacing "tea" with "coffee" with the outcome of "coffee bag" instead of "tea bag"
Thus, having a software that "innovates" may offer us some "re-application of technologies", but it won't give us new ideas
You guys can laugh at the Vietnamese
Go ahead, have your laugh now
In Great Britain, they do have "computer classes" in their high schools. But do you know what they teach?
How to use Microsoft Words
How to make a Powerpoint Presentation
Back in those days, the problem with "random flip bit", brought on by space radiation was already present
Apparently NASA has successfully dealt with that phenomenon - or a lot of NASA's spacecrafts would have spun out of control
Since NASA has decades of experiences dealing with fascinating problems like that it's UTTER FOOLISHNESS if we do not learn from NASA
If you couldn't handle Ubuntu, Arch will drive you insane
Methinks that guy may find the Slackware distro packs more punches
NASA sent out spaceships to moons and brought them back to earth, back in the 1960's
They did that without using Linux, or Unix, or any type of "nixes"
If there is a real need to learn a "lesson", methinks the best lessons we can learn are from those who develop original programs for NASA
Nobody else even comes close
You really think the US congress cares about anything but the oodles of money they got from MAFIAA ??
This is it, folks
Journalism has gone comatosed
With so many people calling themselves "journalists" - I think we have the most number of "journalists" in this world right now than any other period of human history - it is ironic that REAL JOURNALISM has gone to the dogs
Anyone knows ??
... don't sell any iPhone
No need to tie oneself to a contract with an impossible number of iPhone when there are plenty of other kinds of smartphone out there
1GB/s line, only 70 bucks / month
How do they make any profit ??
Then shut the fuck up
Ooooh, what hostility !!
I guess you must be a bozo fanbois, huh ?

The pedophiles and creepy stalkers are sure to love it
How so ??
What's the duty of a CEO ?
Is it to make the company better, or to fish out rockets from deep sea ?
What kind of message a CEO wants to send to his/her colleagues in the company ?
That I am here working with you to make our company better ...
or
That I am the CEO and a I can do whatever FUCK I want to and you can't do nothing about it
1TB/s of memory bandwidth is indeed impressive
I do not understand why everybody and their great-grandmother's dog are drolling all over and goo-goo--gaa-gaa over the "memory bandwidth" thing

Which means, 99.9% of the time the GPGPU can get by with lower memory bandwidth requirements
Remember, 1TB/s of NOPs is 1TB/s of NOPs.
