But maybe you'd rather compare what Apple currently offers with what IBM... oh, sorry.
I am comparing current offers of Apple with current offers of Lenovo.
But you are right. Earlier Apple laptops did have a great power-profile, but all I hear about now are the thin models with welded battery and all the cripled gadgets.
We don't need proper nouns to make Scrabble awesome in North Germanic languages. A teacher is "lærer" a teachers assistant is "lærerassistent". The union of teachers assistants is "lærerassistentfagforening" and the chairman of the teachers assistant union is "lærerassistantfagforeningformand", guess what his secretary's title is?;) These are all completely standard valid words and allowed in the localized versions Scabble.
Spaces are good for resolving ambigiouty. The best compound words consist of one or two syllable words, if it gets any longer the risk of a ambigious word gets higher and it gets harder to read. In essence it is not that different from english. English also uses many compound words, but they have to get accepted first as words, where in Scandinavian languages you are free to do it yourself and are in fact required to do so by grammatics (there can only be one subject or object in a sentence, and a they can at most be one noun each).
Footnote is a compound english word. In danish it is fodnote. You could refer to the font of a footnote as "footnote font" (two nouns) in english but are required in danish to call it "fodnotefont" (one noun), but only context makes it possible to tell the difference between "foot notefont" and "foodnote font".
Aside from the obvious fact that this was a publicity stunt, could they even enforce a contract claiming ownership over a mythical construct anyway? Doubtful at best.... how can i keep idle from ever showing up on the front page again?
No these terms of sales just EULAs are usually not valid, neither in form nor in content.
You obviously don't know what the definition of pedophile is.
Well I do, and what is worse I probably agree with you on the real definition;)
My point was using a legal definition in a similar fashion as the legal definition of child pornography. The problem with a lot of "child pornography" is that it is picturing 16 and 17 year old girls (or buys and cartoons), and the ones caught on this "crime" are stamped as sex offender and treated as pedophiles. By simply continuing this wicked trend and applying it to what people like, would make most 16-20 year-olds pedophiles.
A pedophile wouldn't be interested in a 16 year old girl...
If the age of consent in your state is 18. Then yes, pedophiles would be interested in 16 year olds, on top of that such state often have a rampant pedophilia-epidemic among young boys aged 16-20.
Approval voting is indeed a very solid option for a presidential election, but for a parliamentarian one? Especially if you have multi-seat districts and no winner-takes-all policies, then approval voting is not really an improvement, but of-course you need multi-seat districts first and get rid of the corrupt winner-takes-all systems.
It is not proprietary. Konqueror which has been using the limited acceleration available in X11 for a long time also serves somes serious woopass in this benchmark (KHTML:28.6fps, webkitpart:1.2fps)
Well, WWII is generally considered to have been a great example of "total war", meaning that there really was no such thing as a civilian, which is also how many political and military leaders, regardless of country, viewed it.
No, that is how the war-criminals viewed it, and how a few revisionist right-wing pundits, who wasn't even born at the time, now view it. The real leaders at the time didn't. They may have viewed civilian casualties as a necessary evil, but they were still civilian casualties.
In other words, it's a cute trick for making one thread go faster, at the expense of burning 100% of another core by busy-looping. If you are on a laptop, congrats, your battery life just went from 4 hours to 1 hour. On a server, your CPU utilization just went up by 1 core per process using this library. This trick absolutely cannot be used in real life - it's useful only when the operating system runs exactly one process, a scenario that occurs only in research papers. Idea (2) is interesting (though not innovative); idea (3) makes this whole proposal a non-starter for anything except an academic paper.
When used for locking it is called spinning and not busy-looping, and stop your silly doomsday speak and grow a brain. The linux kernel itself more often use spinning than locking, because it is much faster and uses less cpu-cycles. You have busy-looping thousands of time each second when the kernel synchronizes threads and hardware, this is a no-go in application design, but a really common and efficient trick in low-level libraries and routines, and it will save you cpu-cycles and energy compared to semaphores, not use more.
Moving malloc() to a separate thread does not do a thing for the putative word processor.
In a memory allocator there is a design choice in how much bookkeeping is done in malloc, and how much is done in free. They can make malloc really fast, by making free do most of the work, and unlike malloc, free can return to the calling thread immediately and does not need to way for the result. This gives real parallelism. I am guessing they only make malloc async to keep one thread doing memory-allocations thus saving locks.
The video is quite clear at this point. The soldiers have even admitted on radio that the man has no weapon and no weapon is in sight. One radio voice keeps asking for permission to engage, and someone says "engage", and they engage and kills them. That part is definitely a total fuck-up and at least one soldier who is way too excited and should have been told to back off and relax, or possibly not have been allowed anywhere near a weapon.
There is clearly an RPG in several of the images. I couldn't spot any rifles personally though, but that may be lack of experience. It is disturbing to watch people who are acting calmly being gunned down, but some was carrying military arms, and it was checked on the radio if any allied forces was in the area.
The girl in the fireplace is whimsical compared to Empty Child and Blink when measured in scariness. The girl in the fireplace was not scary at all, but still a very good episode.
Lets say that you are sending out a move invite to a number of friends. Just after you send it you notice that you forgot Alice. Now you need to send the invite just to her, but you prefer the email to look as the original so that she can see who else is invited. This is a common occurrence! And it would be very convenient if you could just bring up the email again, move everyone from To/Cc into Ccc, and then put her as the only CC.
Select forward, when asked for type of forward choose 'Redirect'. This works at least in KMail. The recipient will recieve an unmodified copy of the original email, just as if she had been BCC'ed.
If it is an April Fools joke then the joke is ultimately on them. That something like this could be considered absurd would only highlight how incredibly pathetic space programmes have been for the last 30 years.
Given that private space programs still haven't left Earth orbit. I find it highly impressive the public program maintains a 40 year leed on private enterprise.
The humans are losing the war and are on the brink of extinction. But all the aliens are controlled by a hive mind in the aliens homeworld. One tactical strike and all the aliens become zombies.
Uhh.. A cliffhanger?
This opens up for a new triology dealing with the invasion of alien zombies!!
I mean 10 years ago, you had to replace your computer every 1-2 years. Since then things have slowed down, not so much you don't have to replace it at all(my old computer much needs replacement to show higher levels of graphics details), but just much less than every 1-2 years.

Yes this does make scrable more fun ;)
Giant 15.4" old-school dual-core Thinkpad: Battery time: infinite..
Reason: Exchangable batteries ;) No apple product will ever come anywhere close, because they are intentionally cripled.
PS. With traveling battery: 8hours of heavy use, this is added to the standard 4.5h on the standard battery.

I could be wrong, but I think that was a rise of 2.4 percent-point not a rise of 2.4%. This means it went from 0.1% to 2.5%

It is open source, so if it isn't, you could perhaps add some of your tricks and make it smarter
