What you were decribing sounds like what Intel did to produce a high bandwidwith chip (the Pentium 4) when their Pentium 3 failed to scale against the origonal AMD Athlon . That would seem to indicate they finally hit the wall CPUs ran into 10 years ago..
However i do recall a developement from a few years back that effectivly placed something like heatpipes inside the layers of the chips allowing it to be pushed out to the surface of the chip. TBH I wonder what level of fragility our CPUs are running on...
Others have said it. I'll repeat it. You don't HAVE to buy multiple cards that need to run on aux power from a 1000W PSU. You just WANT to. I can appeciate the desire to run something like Skyrim on 9 uberHd monitors at max settings, but if it's that good a game you'll probably enjoy it with a single 42" 1080p display and a $90 videocard.
Your UID is far too high to be confused by this summary. You should have posted as a title "Old News" and then at least linked a speculative summary from another tech site.
I on the other hand am old and crusty enough to compain about marketbabble terminology and RTFA... wait a sec... OK I just scanned it. Looks like theiy're claiming that Volta will have ~3 times the memory bandwidth of their current top offerings. So yeah that's a good thing as it would mean you could make what runs a triple monitor setup comfortably on three cards today, on one card "tommorow".
Also they've got this, which sounds like a bargain.
"Pricing for GRID VCA systems will range from $24,900 for a base single-CPU (8 threads) / 8 GPU / 192GB configuration (4GB frame buffers for each GPU) to $39,900 for fully-loaded dual-8-core CPU (32 threads) / 16GPU / 384GG setup. Licensing for the GRID client will be $2,400 annually for the base configuration or $4,800 annually for the max configuration"
That,01% that can do that math in their heads gets larger in real numbers every year. The oddsmakers don't want to do business with you. But they'll gladly use you as an example to punish those that can't. Move on, learn to golf.
You're abolutely right. But they also have the right to refuse service. It's their house.
My dad quit blackjack in Vegas in the 90's over odds changes. I kinda did the same when they increased the shoe. The difference was expectation, I just wanted free drinks while I did the CES thing. Though we'll still play occasionanally at the Peppermill in Reno to see who loses first.
If someone calls me and the call drops I'll call them back, immediately. That, to me, seems like common curtesy. But only if I know who the hell you are. If you block your number I'm not answering. If I don't call you back, fuck off and call someone else.
Well in the olden time (BBS days) there were two main reasons something or someone was called a troll. One was a person that would jump out into the conversation like the troll in the Aesops Fable, Billy Goats Gruff, who would jump onto the bridge they were trying to cross. The other analogy came from fishing, where you took a baited hook and let it drag behind your boat until a something took the bait.
I always favored the later.
Of course Slashdot segregates Trolling from Flamebait. In moderation, I tend to regard Flamebait as something like a repetitious ongoing polarised argument that won't be resolved by discussion. Whereas a Troll would be something most people would ignore like a GNAA copypasta.
I don't really think keyboards fail that often and when they do they get replaced with the same POS that you and your users (and my users) are used to using. That's where we are basicly. I also don't imagine keyboards really being something you could dispense from a vending machine. I don't think the OP did either.., he was making a joke and I was expanding it.
Really it's no different than sharing a postit note with your password.
I've never worked anywhere where biometric scans wouldn't involve a full fake hand and a PIN to go with it. I'm guessing doctors would just sharpie that on the back of a rubber hand... and the pin would of course be 1-2-3-4-5-6.
I think it's pretty easy to fall into dispair when you are young. The truth is that for anyone sane, money does buy happiness. You know what makes you happy and nothing will get you what you need to do that but money...unless your happiness focuses on being a monk.
Of course I'm assuming the western notion of property rights that taunt the people of China...
When I lived in Atlanta I liked my IT jobs, hated the non tech execs, dispised the South, and hated my life even though i had a lot of great friends. But the day to day realy wore on me.
Today, I still enjoy working in IT and I live 8miles from Snowbird/Alta. It really is the best snow on this Earth. In the summer I can push my bike up Cottonwood Canyon and put my bike on the lift in Park City, that's pretty fun. And I can see Mountain Goats and Moose on a hike. Hunting too if you're into that. Or climb a little moutain for a nice view. I've got plenty of excitement,
I don't have anyone to talk to seriously yet, because I'm basicly not a dogmatic asshole (religious, liberal or conservitive) and I'm not LDS or a tatooed freak methhead. If you're into that kind of drama there is plenty of that here in SLC. But the slopes are full of normal humans too. I'm sure i'll find that conclave of like minded people that exists here full time eventually.
Yeah pretty much. I think they mostly mentioned because of their relatively indestructible construction. People that had other keyboards that they maybe liked better than anything newer were forced to buy, use, and adapt to the new crap eventually.
I don't know about old vs new guitar quality, but the Model M holds alot of the same reverence as a pre-'64 Winchester 70 for many of the same reasons
If you know that it can only bounce off walls and suck up dust bunnies,then you can trust your robot.
If you program it yourself, or have an open source peer review you might want to keep an eye on it like a kid or your pet pitbull, depending on its capabilities.

Nah, St Mary's is still in but I wouldn't get excited until they beat Memphis. Then we're talking about the end times.
This.

Whatabout Google Glass Contacts?
I'm kidding, they already track that.

It's that thing that allows your users to access their web client at work.
If the Apple Safari browser on Apple OSX had Java disabled it let it run anyway? Glad they fixed that.
Such an hero.

Another opinion...
you can sleep when you're dead.
If you don't push yourself you might as well be sleeping or dead.
You don't need to try to kill yourself, but at least make the health insurance pay for it.

But on excitement I'm OK and i recommend it.
Model M keyboards were removed from the machines because they don't need to be replaced that often.

This is NASA's business oportunities page. Very cool...
I recommend stationwagons (estate cars) loaded with tapes... never underestimate them.
Why did the Loknar go after Stern? Was he competition?
I think the issue is that the price is high enough to be a barrier to poor domain squatters but not rich ones.

Otherwise you should pull its batteries.
