Well, if you put it that way there is zero reason to ever buy a console during initial release.
Well yeah, you always buy a 2 year old car that someone returned from a lease...
...unless of course you like new cars.
I'll be buying an Xbox One. I'm looking forward to the convergence of living room entertainment and social features. Should be fun. I want to get in on it early, and $700.
...the bad guy will point his gun at the server room, threatening to shatter the glass case with the server cooling liquid in it, he'll shoot, and use the rushing liquid to block the heroes from stopping his escape.
If you have no idea what the numbers mean, then perhaps you should leave analysis of the numbers to someone with the requisite basic computer hardware knowledge. This isn't challenging stuff. Perhaps you'd be best just leaving the computer alone completely. Really, what are you doing on the internet?
Did someone forget to take their meds?
Unless you follow these like some sort of religion, there's no way for the average bear to know if they should get an R7 260X or an HD8730, or an HD8760, or a HD7730, or what the difference between the -30 and -60 are.
If you stare at the article above, it's a blob of numbers worthy of A Simple Mind.
I left the PC gaming rat-race a while back, and I've never been happier -- the only real downside is that I can't possibly suggest to people what video card to buy beyond saying, "meh. Go spend $200 on Newegg."
Along with this card, AMD is also announcing an update to its game bundle, and beginning November 13 Radeon R9 270 – R9 290X cards will include a free copy of Battlefield 4.
There is absolutely no fundamental difference between this and other existing VR technologies as far as what it appears like to the eye or how the image is projected.
I've avoided "monitors on eyeglasses" for a while, feeling the technology still a bit weak, but damn am I ready to just turn on my direct-to-eye virtual system.
We're turning the corner, kids. I can't wait to see what's down the block.
If you want a decentralized, unregulated currency, then you don't get a FDIC promise when your bank vanishes overnight.
I understand why some currency is transitory on these sites, but why are people using online wallets beyond coins in motion (escrow or pending transaction, etc.)?
The number of people who want book collections - as physical things to put on shelves to impress the rubes - are dwindling rapidly. Soon it'll be like music: A few holdouts with a bunch of vinyl shopping in dusty shops and yard sales and the rest of the planet with music in the cloud.
Other than a tiny bit of techno-political double-speak from the project manager in the Meeting Notes Template that gets copied to every new day's meeting notes, it reads pretty much like any large multi-departmental IT project that I've ever been involved in.
And, considering some idiot in Congress is going to read the meeting notes some day, the TPDS is understandable. The Jr. Senator from the Great State of Fly-Over needs to have it explained that CIRT is a "Tiger Team" -- or as us actual workers call it, "the smart guys who fix other people's fuckups."

For the enthusiast, the multitude of options are welcome, but for everyone else... ...not so much.

What do those numbers mean?
Maybe someone else has a decoder ring, but it's alphabet soup trying to figure out what video card one should get.

Beginning November 13th, you say....
Screw Crysis. How fast can it mine Bitcoins?
Will that be more or less processing than HTTP/2 with https and ssl?
...or, you know, https everything now for starters, since the processing increase is negligible.
A lot of sites are already on board.
There is absolutely no fundamental difference between this and other existing VR technologies as far as what it appears like to the eye or how the image is projected.
Yeah, this it so totally lame.
Retinal "projection" is just a fancy term for "making it look to your eye like there's a screen in front of it". There's no magic.
Just projecting images into my eyeball that (in time) will be indistinguishable from actual sight?
Sounds pretty goddamned magic to me.

I'm going to guess it was faster to type your last post than:

But here's the first result, which explains how it came from Nibble magazine:

As recently as 31 years ago...
...in theory.
...how much faster does it mine Bitcoins?
I need to mine some so I can put them in a totally safe online wallet.
Indeed. Pick your poison.

QT the convenience store chain? Quicktime video?
I can only assume that WxWidgets is an Android home-screen widget that shows me the location of the nearest QuickTrip convenience store.
Also, yes, explain what this shit is in the headline...
The vocal minority wants to have big SD card full of music.
Nobody else has cared in a long time now that phone capacity is big enough to store thousands of photos and songs all by itself.
I can't be the first guy to read this today and go, "Seriously? We infected computers on the ISS? That's freakin' awesome."
People said that about books.
The number of people who want book collections - as physical things to put on shelves to impress the rubes - are dwindling rapidly. Soon it'll be like music: A few holdouts with a bunch of vinyl shopping in dusty shops and yard sales and the rest of the planet with music in the cloud.
Government projects often come with deadlines and mandates for availability.
If you're ahead of schedule, great.
If you're behind a Congressionally mandated deadline, you're screwed.
This, a thousand times this.

....the guy who installs your logging software has a good chance of subverting it.
It's more like we had $30,000,000 for a number of classified projects, of which we broke it down into X1 through Xn.
