It is because PVR is a low priority. It is a low priority because there are relatively few places where you can actually record live TV, owing to the fact that cable companies rarely transmit even OTA stations in unencrypted format that can be decoded by a typical PC-based capture card.
... when you are a big top secret defense contractor and you attempt to unify your development processes across all of your business units to "save money" through homogenization.
You can design something as an "interconnected series of black boxes" when it's something simple like a missile.
A 787 and other development abortions like the F22 and F35 are infinitely more complex than a simple war munition, and cannot be properly designed as an "interconnected series of black boxes."
What difference does it make how much space is usable on the drive, when the O/S itself is a completely unusable, unfriendly, and counter-intuitive piece of shit?
A comparable situation would be if you purchased a 12-piece McNuggets lunch, but shat out 5 of them, and complained that you "only got 7."
The explanation is that your body can't use 100% of the nuggets, because you can't digest the stuff that is required to make it take the form of a nugget, and taste approximately like chicken.
"The waves propagating throughout the simulation require a carefully orchestrated balance between computation, memory and communication."
This statement seems to imply the outcome of the simulation depends somehow on the tuning of the system hardware. That has dire implications for whatever method they are using.
If a simulation becomes non-deterministic depending on how the hardware communicates, and gives different solutions to the same problem because of that, then I would say it is not a good approach to computational bogodynamics.
I tend to agree. Although, there is _something_ to be said for working with digital systems. There are still many "electronics" concepts to worry about when designing a digital board, or interfacing one digital board with another.
While one of the aforementioned systems alone does not really touch on it, once you start interfacing, or using the commonly-found "scratch area" on one of these systems, you need to know something about how to do it properly.
Strictly speaking, I don't think of an embedded development platform as dealing with "electronics," but it certainly lives in the house next door.
The government and/or the powers that be have simply decided to call it a War because with the wars on "drugs" and "terror" winding down, they need a new bogeyman to make everyone afraid of so they can get the next big round of taxpayer-funded defense grants.
Hacking has been going on since the birth of the Internet, and it will keep going on until global warming turns the Earth into a smoldering cinder.

So, now there will be a "Facilities Fee" or a "Convenience Fee" or a "Environmental Impact Recovery Fee" or "Carbon Footprint Offset Fee" or some other fee invented to recover this cost. A struggling pizza restaurant near my office recently implemented an "energy surcharge" of 3% of all checks. Gee, isn't that about the right amount?
Phone companies have been inventing imaginary fees for decades. Car shops charge "shop charges." Hell, even the bicycle shop I worked at in college charged a "environmental fee" for the chemicals they used to clean bikes (but never spent a penny on environmental disposal or cleanup).
Rest assured, all costs will be paid for by the consumer. Always. Just like ALL taxes are paid by consumers.
What happens to the heat generated by compressing the air in the first place? Is that energy loss considered in the "mileage" calculation for this car?
Are they testing the tried and true scientific method that *real* scientists used for centuries to arrive at the cumulative knowledge of mankind, or are they testing the modern scientific method that involves drawing a conclusion and then trying to find data that fits your model, discarding any data that doesn't?

Aren't we overlooking the obvious here?

The USA has a 140 year history of regular banking panics and collapses, BECAUSE of the institution of regulations.
There, fixed it for you.

We are imprisoning you for your own good. Please remain indoors until you are given clearance otherwise.
Training exercise for Marshal Law, this is.

And you forgot the most important part:

No, thanks. I'll just install the x86 android port in VirtualBox like I've been doing since Gingerbread.

Listen to me carefully. This is important.

A PC is a PC

Got it?
Good.
Considering the newest files for that project are from December 2008, I would say "probably not."
These movies are rueened.

Yep, 20.4% is crap efficiency, but still better than the electric generator in a Chevy Volt!
The US Government imposes an income tax on all of its citizens, even if they do not work within the legal jurisdiction of the United States.
So, clearly there is nothing jurisdictional preventing France imposing this tax. If the US can do it, so can everyone else.
Haha that scene sounds like it came right out of Idiocracy: Part Dew
