Unless you change the length of the cable while playing a movie, the signal will never be later, make the cable 10000 miles long and each picture will still arrive exactly on time: 1/25th of second after the previous.
Last I went there California had something like 8% sales tax, so they are already halfway there, but Americans would react with anger. Even as used as I am to paying 25% sales tax, the sales taxes in the US pisses me off. Most of all because stores are allowed to hide or omit the total cost of products and print prices without taxes, this makes every taxed purchase you make during the day a kick to the nuts surprise.
If it was just sales tax, you can with get used to calculating the price, but it is still annoying, and the stores often hide every form of tax until you have to pay, making it is impossible to know in advance what the total price will be. Personally I blame the stores for misleading the costumers, but many people just blame the taxes for the confusion.
Not even code moneys get certifications. Certifications are for system administrators. You are figuratively speaking confusing hospital janitors (sys-admins) with nurses (programmers), and doctors(computer scientists). Just because it has something do with computers doesn't make it even remotely the same profession.
HD was a better definition when it was less defined, then it was then used relatively, and had separate meanings depending on context. I am still amazed anyone can produce new laptops with super-low resolutions that are lower than the lowest resolution available in any laptop sold 6 years ago, and have the guts to call it HD.
3. they're not - that's usually scam companies trying to make it look like their services will make it more likely for you to BE A WINNER!!!!. There are legit green card lottery companies that make sure you've got all the forms filled out right and such, for a fee, but those tend not to spam. 4. See 3.
So, why are the emails not charging any money and the only links on them direct links to official forms and the official guide to filling out the form on dot-gov addresses?
They do look like something a 3rd party scamer would send, but I haven't never figured out the what the scam would be, since the emails are send from dot-gov addresses and only links to dot-gov addresses. And yes the links are not fake, I've checked the source, it is non-suspect links to dot-gov addresses.
Wait, what! The visa lottery is real?? I thought it was just SPAM. This raises so many questions.
1. Why? 2. What is purpose of that? Larry Niven style luck evolution? 3. And why are you spamming people about it? 4. Really, why is the US sending out thousands of SPAM emails about it. 5. And last, but not least: WTF?
You agreed to let them make changes to the contract when you signed it.
No. You may have signed a paper that says they can change the contract as they please, but that doesn't mean you have legally agreed that this is allowed, because you can not legally agree to that, since such terms legally invalid. Illegal terms like that are just legal intimidation, they don't actually mean anything.
* If terms like that were legal, you are now the serf (white slave) of any company you have signed such a contract with.
Todays top story: Wikileaks did have a second big leak recently, with details for the prisoners from Guantanamo. After Osamas death, it has been discovered that his hideout was mentioned several times in the leaks, and it is speculated that the leak prompted the US military to take immediate action, before it was Osama realized the US had atleast considered his actual hideout a likely suspect for his whereabouts and had done so since 2006.
I am still surprised this story hasn't been on slashdot, yet, but then; it could be a coincidence. It is easier to see what information from tortured prisoners is correct, and which is incorrect once you know the right answer.
No, a denier will ask constantly ask "show me the evidence" without ever looking at the evidence presented.
Almost no one would self-classify as a denier, it is only a term that can be applied by a 3rd person. A denier will always consider him or herself a reasonable skeptic. Just like a truly malicious person would never consider her or himself evil.
But cookies in general does track users. This by far the most common use these days. Even they they are used to carry preferences it is often implemented with a tracking cookie that can then map user-id to preferences server-side.
At least on my router, the encrypted network can be prioritized over the guest network, and I restricted it to only use the old B spec (it would degrade anyway), where the encrypted only uses N spec to avoid accidental degrading.
Torrents are the classic cloud-storage that inspired the concept. Also personal details in social media is another source, in terms like "nothing is forgotten in the cloud".
The reason for the devolution of the name is of course that Google's search service internally is structured like a cloud, but of course their storage services are not, because unreliable indexes are acceptable, unreliable data storage is not.
Well, a mainframe is actually the exact opposite of a cloud. It is just that most services that call them self cloud-services, especially cloud-storage are the exact opposite of cloud.
Cloud: Share a your among many but unreliably providers, treating this abstract idea as a single provider, a cloud. Mainframe: Put you data in the hands of single central provider. The exact opposite of cloud service
Yeah, there's a lot of "IQ tests" on the web which are complete garbage. IQ tests are supposed to eliminate anything cultural, memorizable or "general knowledge" type questions.
Unfortunately I think that is impossible. I took my first IQ test after first year of Math and Computer Science at university, and more than half the questions was covered by my curriculum, and could be solved by memory. I think it is impossible to avoid because the a good part of first year of Math Science was focused on recognizing and solving common patterns of logic, and in Computer Science recognizing and solving common algorithms and logic sequences.
And the question is: Is there really any difference between general intelligence and pattern-matching?
Yes. In fact all 3D graphics cards are specifically optimized to enhance common ways of "tricking" you (whether displayed 2D or 3D). In fact -- that is all they do, they are not very good at generic 3D, they mostly do "tricks".
It is laptop fan for the cpu and graphics processor. It is one piece of custom shaped aluminium and copper with a small fan embedded inside the cast. I actually think it is a fair price for a custom replacement part. Though I could check again if the fan inside the piece is reachable, but since the issue is that it gets looser and not that it breaks, I doubt I can make it better.
In any event, I think it'd be more a function of aerodynamic drag than anything else.
Yes. I've tested it, but not scientifically. I actually get better millage at very high speeds on highways than in urban driving (11km/l at 160km/h, 9km/l when commuting at ~50km/h), but I am making the statement that it is the same, to factor in the cost of starting and stopping. I could potentially get better millage if I drove 35mph on the highway, I haven't tried that.
Similarly Top Gear did a controversial test of a Prius against a M3. The point is a car stressed to its maximum performance will use a lot more fuel, and a Prius is optimized for city-driving with assistance from the electric engine. On long trips at high speeds the electric engine is not helping anymore. So the advantage disappears, and it is suddenly a heavy car with an engine optimized for a different work-load.
You could say the same about romance novels, thrillers, social dramas, newspaper articles, comments on slashdot. There is a lot of badly written stuff out there.
The Federation is a post scarcity society. Any post scarcity society where money still exists would be more of a totalitarian nightmare than a utopia.
The internet is a post scarcity society (well, sub-culture), and it doesn't work like in Star Trek.. So, that would make value on the internet closer to a totalitarian nightmare?... Wait... I think you might be on to something
You might need to replace the fans. I need to do that every 2 years or so in my latest ThinkPad. It is the only thing that breaks, but it is starting to fail for the second time now, just as the laptop is turning 4. The laptop is still fast enough, so to replace fan or replace laptop?. Fortunately the fan only cost $100 to replace with official spare parts and Lenovo has a nice official online guide on how to do it

Which incidentally is the exact same thing the producers on Sci-Fi thought when they made SyFy.

Confusing has nothing to do with it. Now you bring it up please note how Microsoft has not sued anyone over the X Window System name.

But it is in deed a rare case. Perhaps only accidental discoveries happen without government funds.

Yep. I love how the advertisement has been inversed now.
The new movie "Rio" from Disney, had on the poster: "Available in 2D in select cinemas".
It used to say 3D, THX or digital. Now 2D is a special feature for "select cinemas" :D
Yes. In fact all 3D graphics cards are specifically optimized to enhance common ways of "tricking" you (whether displayed 2D or 3D). In fact -- that is all they do, they are not very good at generic 3D, they mostly do "tricks".
