What the? Apple is traditionally a hardware company and Microsoft traditionally a software company, even at its lowest sales in the 90s Apple always sold more than Microsoft, beating zero is really easy.
Certain government offices might have historically required him to give up control of Facebook, but Donald Trump is currently redefining how much ownership of business one can have as President
False.
I don't recall any laws being changed in this regard. Trump is only pushing boundaries that were never really there. If you dislike it, get your Congressional leaders to pass a law against it.
There were there as tradition, like most things are, for instance filibusters were mostly a tradition never laws, many things work that way under the assumption that elected official and grownup responsible people, and it was assummed no one would elect people with obvious conflicts of interest, so previously presidential candidates promised to use blind trust because they were good honorable people, Trump is none of those things, except possibly 'people'.
Since most theaters only project at 2K and 4K barely has a foothold in the home market, why? It seems like a new standard this early is really a bad idea. Some better compression technology could come along that will make this standard obsolete before its goes into consumer production. The only reason I can think of is a non-existent 3D technology.
I am really surprised people talking about cinemas with 2K projectors, that is some cheap shit, that is not even an upgrade from the analog film that came before. All cinemas I frequent has either analog (for old stuff and indie) or 4K digital. Still 8K digital would be nice, though I would prefer movies being shot at something faster than 24fps, that is a much better way to add visual details movie-goes can reliably perceive.
Freesync is just a way to handle variant refreshes without screen tearing. Those refreshes can happen faster or slower. If a refresh happens faster than the LCDs can make the transition (which is rare, and only will really be an issue on whole scene changes, and likely you'll never see ghosting anyway), it will still happen.
That said, Sync tech has to do with human perception of changes that respond more precisely, and eliminating stutter (which happens because the refresh can't occur at the cyclical vertical refresh, which is mostly an artifact of CRT tech anyway). It is frustrating that nvidia has pushed proprietary sync tech that is costly to implement, rather than go with "Free Sync" which only requires firmware changes for most basic monitor controllers.
It seems like AMD's real push here is to maintain Free Sync capability as monitor manufacturers increase the color gamut and enhance LCD response times.
Yeah. As far as I can tell they are trying to say they have added some HDR meta-data to FreeSync though and called it FreeSync2.. Not sure how much of that is just marketing speak though.
Another way of writing the story is this: People who bought bit coin in 2013 had lost money for the last three years, and at long last are now even. Look for the same if you buy bitcoin now, you can help make the 2013 losers whole by participating in the next round of pump and dump... From the losers side.
I've never thought there could be an actor that bad.
Nobody could be that bad even if they really tried.
With Lukas giving the cues, it seems almost anyone can. Only the actors arrogant or experienced enough to ignore his bullshit instructions come of as decent when he is directing.
They wheren't. I.e Vader as Lukes father and Leia as his sister was retconned in ep 5 so no when ep 4 was filmed none of the other movies where even planned.
It wasn' even labelled episode IV when it first aired, that was added a few years later.
Interestingly, about half of the game in that top 100 list are available for Linux. That is about the same number available for Mac. Obviously they are all available for windows.
I have been casually playing on Debian using steam. And I do find enough game to keep me entertained. I am not sure whether Unity, steam OS, or the need to port games to mobile systems contributed to the increase in gaming support for Linux. But Linux definitely seems to have reasonable gaming options.
Opinions ?
I only do impulse purchases of games that run on Linux. Which in the category of strategy games that I play is basically all of them. It is very viable. The only problems are games demanding high-end graphics. X-COM 2 for instance ran on Linux, but already had a few graphical problems on Windows, and more and worse performance on Linux.
But I actually didn't know/. supported those non-7-bit-ascii characters - that's new!
What site ever supported only ASCII? Computers have been 8-bit for a long time, at worst they are latin-1. If I remember correctly slashdot was converted to UTF-8 way-back but just had it mostly disabled with some kind of limited white-list. Let me check: æøå×€£çß
Yeah, the only part of this lawsuit that I disagree with is this statement by the attorney general "unconscionable loss of privacy through his deception".
I think what he meant to say was "His unconscionable failure to violate their privacy through his deception."
If he had actually followed through and gotten their nude photos and sex tapes public he wouldn't have been committing fraud.
He would still have impersonated a woman, and created sevaral fake companies to gain their trust. So a bit of mail fraud as minimum.
Nah. He's a "reporter" specifically he's a reporter who had a hate-on for gamergate. Seems to be a running thing for these anti-gamergate people, everything that they accuse their ideological opponents of whether it be doxing, harassment, and so on. They're actually guilty of themselves. Whether it's Devin Faraci, Zoe Quinn or Randi Harper, same shitty people engaging in shit behavior.
Denmark gets 40% of the electricy from wind. Note that a lot of the Danish coal powered electricy gets exported to Sweden who claims to run 100% on renewable and nuclear, but have to import coal-power during peak hours and during entire seasons if the hydro dams are not fully "charged" with water.
Seriously Obama you are starting to make Trump look sane. The last thing the world needs is a new cold war, never thought I would say it but Trump can't come soon enough before you do any more damage, I can only assume you or your party has big financial interests that are not supported by friendly relations with Russia.
Where did you shills see Obama's name in any of this?
Please get your own head of your own ass before you shill on.
The justification for leniency makes no sense to me. If a criminal is driven by impulse and lack of emotional control, shouldn't he (and it is usually a "he") get a longer sentence, since he is a greater danger to other people?
No that is not how justice work, if they are dangerous you should send them to wards not prisons. You are punished according to your criminal intent, which is bigger when not emotionally unstable.
Do you honestly think murder should carry a smaller sentence than homicides of a lower degree?
An action can not agree to a contract if the contract is presented after or during the action or if the action is something you already have the right to do. EULAs violate both rules and can be safely ignored in non-banan republican countries/states.
Yeah they don't intentionally overbook, but "just" have highly priced tickets that can get you on any flight any time. The end result is almost the same except a lot less common.
Robots and AI have always been taking the mentally easiest and least skill demanding jobs first. But where do they plan to find AI with the right connections?
Yes back then they were illegal in all their markets. They hadn't yet gotten anyone to write special laws for them retroactively legalizing them a few places.
Nope, it wouldn't be wrong: that's how electric motors work. That well end up as force on the thing today's generating that magnetic field, and anyway the field itself has energy and momentum.
Chances are either this is a very inefficient helicopter (it's shifting air around) or a very inefficient electric motor.
Well an electric motor does cause a reaction, it is just that the mass it projects backwards is the surface of the Earth, so it is kind of slight.
I can imagine they are few. The Autopilot works best on motorways and if the autopilot can be set to a max 5mph over the speed limit a cop or speed camera won't give it a second glance. It's also better at not tailgating and does a pretty damn good job of not driving dangerously from my admittedly limited experience.
Yeah, most place has an semi-official 10% tolerance margin.
If everyone else on the road is going 5-10 over the speed limit, then the Tesla is essentially a road hazard that other people need to avoid. This seems like a dumb move.
They generally are. People not paying attention to traffic are always hazards you need to keep a wide margin to, be it people on a phone or people "not driving" a Tesla.
More importantly, the web browser makes the difference between recommended and not. Ignore all of the hardware, its the browser.
I'm curious now, exactly what they are testing. I'm guessing Facebook and YouTube, or similar. Ajax and video. Not my use case, but certainly a popular one.
I guess I won't make fun of Microsoft pimping their browser efficiency any more...
Apple and Microsoft both intended to use Kaby Lake processors in their latest iteration but ended up using SkyLake processors instead because of delays. This according to a very reliable news source that never succumbs to hyperbole, bad journalism or gives in to the temptation to post click-bait. The linked article even mentions the forced decision to use SkyLake processors as the reason for poorer battery life. The current Microsoft/Apple offerings in this device class are interim devices., so the thing to do is defer purchasing decisions until devices with the Kaby Lake processors arrive. On the plus side, this story will allow all the Apple critics out there to come here, vent their rage and thus lower their blood pressure.
Nonsense. KabyLake and Skylake are identical except for the GPU. And the reason Apple and MS did not use KB, is because models with an Iris branded GPU haven't yet been released by Intel, and they traditionally have been using the Iris-branded GPU models. The reason the battery life in the new MBP is inconsistent is because the battery is smaller, and have been replaced with more aggresive power savings in macOS, power savings that turns out to be a lot less consistent than just having a larget battery.

If a man pretended to by a woman's boyfriend, and she had sex with him under that assumption, has he committed a crime?
Identical twins have been found guilty for possing as each other to have sex with eachother's spouses without their knowledge.
Not sure how else you could pretend to be someone's SO without actually being it.
