To publish an insanely sensationalistic FUD piece from the Anti-Nuclear crowd scaremongering the most densely populated area of the world over something that is a complete and utter non-issue.
It's not appropriate to stalk people online, except I am sure the nanny state would love for everyone to be trained that this is acceptable behavior, so they can "say something" if they "see something."
The way you get to know your friends better is to spend time with them and by being genuinely interested enough in them to ask open-ended questions and pay attention to their answers, and generally, you know, be a human being and a friend, not a detective.
The redneck kids where I live say "yes sir," and "yes ma'am," and are on their parents' heels at all times. That's because they live in a home with discipline that teaches good values, like being polite, respecting your elders, and doing as your parents tell you to do.
Maybe you live among a different breed of redneck, though. There is always the Rebel-flag waving KKK type that are more neonazis than rednecks.
Where does the missile go after it passes its target? What if the thing is being fired into New York or Moscow or Beijing? I can't imagine the thing would be able to find a "safe" landing spot, or even be concerned about it.
When I think "missile," I think "something going really really fast. That kinetic energy has to go somewhere.
WTF? I can find dozens of other browsers with a cursory google search. Why is it up to MS to pre-package a bunch of browsers and let the user choose one that will no doubt already be an out-of-date pile of security holes by the time the PC hits the desk?
Have people become so lazy (or stupid) that they can't even go download a browser by themselves?
Fuck sake people. Me thinks this is just another big government money grab. After all, EU governments have a lot of mouths to feed.
I think you need to understand the meaning of Thermal Design Power.
TDP is not the amount of power the CPU sits there consuming all the time. TDP is the maximum amount of energy that can be dissipated in the physical package with the factory-provided cooling device. A TDP of 100W does not even mean the processor will ever consume that much under the most heavy loads.
In fact, there is a lot of margin built into the TDP rating, to ensure that normal degradation over time of the cooling device does not result in exceeding the maximum junction temperature of the processor.
Believe it or not, the guys who design processors are pretty smart people, and a CPU sitting there doing nothing is not consuming its TDP.
As far as not needing a Vishera, I mentioned both the Vishera and the Trinity, and the Trinity is what I said was cheap and covers all the bases. The lower-end trinities are $75 - half the price of a basic i3, and 99% of end users will see no difference whatsoever.
The new Trinity, and now these FX Procs, are perfect for "the 99%," that is to say for what 99% of people do with their machines: surf the web, check email, maybe do some photo editing or piecing together home movies.
They're cheap, reasonably fast, and support all the latest extensions and optimizations. Plus, even for enthusiast prosumers who want to screw around with things like virtualization, you can get into the IOMMU space cheaply with AMD, which is nice for a platform like ESXi that has a mature PCI passthrough implementation.
I think the Trinity A-10 does really hit the sweet spot for most consumers. It has reasonably fast processing and reasonably fast GPU in a ~$130 package. If you're putting a box together on the cheap, it becomes quite compelling.
23/7 Solitary Confinement is cruel and unusual, and designed with the express purpose of torturing an inmate into submission.
How any court can hold that "segregation" is compatible with the 8th Amendment is beyond me, and I would think that Europe would be much farther long in eliminating such punishment.
Electrolytic capacitors can very well be it, even if they are not used in the RF signal path.
They are used in power supplies, and a drying out electrolytic can cause a number of things:
1) Lessened capacitance leads to reduced p/s output capacity, which can cause voltage to droop if the supply hits maximum duty cycle
2) Drying out caps have higher ripple current, and higher heat dissipation, which consumes more of the power supply's capacity, and can also lead to drooping output
3) Lower capacitance can lead to increased ripple voltage on the output, and that ripple can leak into the RF signal path, increasing the symbol error rate, and even causing frequency drift in the VCO

Why would you bother with a cellular phone if you weren't going to use the cellular phone?
Doesn't someone make a cell-phone sized Wifi tablet?
It's not even LTE, and there is still no SD Card slot.
Sorry, Google. You fail.

Here's a charity local to me that builds PCs for the disadvantaged:
https://sites.google.com/site/carolinafreepc/
Purpose
To provide PCs with educational programs to low income
families and children at no cost.
Goals
To help kids become knowledgeable about computers
To interest kids in engineering and technology
To encourage kids to stay in school and graduate

Think of what your in-laws want.
It's not your house. It's their house. Do the remodel based on what their wants and needs are, not what you would do in your own house.
They may not want you spending $5K of their remodeling budget on stuff they neither want nor need.
Just a thought.
THAT would have been all over the news. I call bullshit.
My thoughts exactly. What's with all of this sensational bullshit on Slashdot lately?
Ballots are still anonymous even if you have to demonstrate eligibility in order to enter the polling place.
There's nothing in the Voter ID laws that ties a specific ID to a specific ballot.
"In fact that would probably be the best way to ensure a random search, since a person at the gate might be influenced by your appearance."
There are PLENTY of other ways to discriminate without seeing a person's appearance.

Obviously, Nokia has prior art on anything having to do with cell phones and rubber bands:

Doping is doping.
It's a set up so they can throw scientists in jail who "fail to predict global warming."
Yeah, and despite blowing all that cash trying to get their buddy Obama re-elected, it's looking more and more like they might fail after all.

Nice election-cycle troll.
