No, most books are using one of the two optimial ratios. Either square-root 2, or the golden ratio. So do the chassis of most laptops because it looks good, which is why the bezels are not uniform since 16:9 is nowhere close to optimal anything.
The EU commissioners are chosen by the elected governments of each State just like U.S Senators were before the 13th amendment. Any proposed law has to be approved by the EU parliament which is directly elected. The big problem with the EU is that politicians have found it very easy to blame their failures on the "faceless EU technocrats" instead of owning up to them. Italian politicians even blamed the EU for the recent bridge collapse in Genoa
Well exactly like US senators, the majority from each country appoints one.
This guy is universally despised, cause after Brexit he said that referenda should never be held because people can't take the right decisions! He truly is the poster boy for undemocratic euro autocrat.
It was a stupid question, if a refendum was to be held, it should have a clear agenda and not a non-binding vague end statement that can only result in the majority not getting what they voted for (left and right wingers voted to leave the EU for different reasons, only one of the sides will get the exit they want)
For some reason, many of the vendors all but insist I provide them my mobile phone number. I always refuse because I know that once I give out the phone number, my phone will start ringing with telemarketing calls. They vendors say they want the mobile phone number for back-up identification purposes, but I just do not believe them.
They also ask for them places where telemarketing is not a thing. I suspect it is to better corrolate your date so they sell it for more money. Just give them a fake number or a temporary one.
Yes, more guns - along with proper "regulation" (i.e. aim) would have greatly reduced the number of casualties... but as that doesn't align with the anti-gun narrative you wish to project, you probably leave that out...
Okay, I'll bite, how would giving the shooter better aim help reduce how many he killed, you moron?
The Paris agreement essentially necessitates a reduction in used power (unless they do an expensive conversion to nuclear energy), so drastically reducing how much power by power companies is sold is already the plan, the hard part is getting consumers and businesses to save power, which is especially hampered by the fact that of the two politicians are STILL focusing on the lesser power consumer, the consumers.
Google is aggressively pushing OAuth and as a side effect might disable the IMAP interface of Gmail in the future. I guess the point of this feature is more to prevent someone gaining access to your or the recipient's computer in the future from reading sensitive mail, if you don't trust the recipient you shouldn't send them sensitive stuff to begin with.
Simpler: You shouldn't be sending sensitive stuff though GMail to begin with. Or anyother service funded by spying on the users and has EULAs saying they reserve the right to look into all your emails.
Manufacturers were notified of the weaknesses in May 2018 and were granted 90 days to remedy them before the results were published.
90 days may be the standard for Responsible Disclosure, but that's only reasonable for issuing a software patch. Intel doesn't issue new silicon to everyone affected within 90 days, it can take over a year before the next chips are available, and those might've had their design locked down well beyond that.
Then the only reasonable thing is to tell everyone right away
Good job to Tesla for announcing that they're planning on open sourcing their code! This can't be anything but good news for the auto industry. There's a lot of people that are worried about their autonomous cars getting hacked, this will provide a good baseline of security.
Considering Tesla has the least secure cars in the industry, I can't see what anyone would do with that baseline..
I often have to do run a check on downloaded Steam games. With several gigabytes of data, I guess the chance of something being off is small but not insignificant.
Given that "ntel's Cannon Lake chip is essentially a shrink of its seventh-generation "Kaby Lake" processor design" what execution silo bugs are currently present in the designs?
No it is shrink of Skylake X (with AVX-512). Sky Lake X is newer than Kaby Lake, which CPU wise is just a straight run of the mill Sky Lake with no changes at all.
Anyway, process shrinks props up all kinds of issues, and apparently many of the tricks they have used in all the 14nm generations simply doesn't work in 10nm, and they are learning that the hard way. They got ahead of the competetion with those clever tricks, and now they no longer work.
When was the last time Apple cared one shit about the performance of their "Pro" products? They will slap whatever Intel has that sounds in it, or will replace it with a mobile processor of their own making, because they just don't care..
It doesn't. That's just one way of using it. All it requires is speculation regarding the return address. In this sense it's no different than previously discovered variants. The basic idea of all these attacks is that user space processes can get access to memory which would normally be protected.
True, but depending on what mechanism they use to store information from the speculation they are sometimes bound by sharing the same cache or internal-cpu buffers.
Apple and Hewlett Packard get a free pass? Come on, EU, how about some consistency?
Because they weren't part of this particular cartel? Apple has been fined before for illegal price fixing with ebook-publishers, but court cases tend to go case by case and not try to resolve all cases in the world in one big clusterfuck.
Would the result here not be a higher cost of product to retailer, as a way of keeping prices inflated? If this is the case, this would mean that retailers would either need to increase advertised price or have lower margins?
Of course the alternative is other games to keep prices in line, that work around the law?

And would also get rid of the bezel as 16:9 laptops for some reason have the same dimensions as 16:10 laptops just with more bezel
You appently cared, does people not stepping in line piss you off?
What are you, a nazi sheep?

Pretty sure I was being facetious.
Pretty sure I was too.
In fact, a person who defended themself against a home invader actually was sentenced to two years in prison. The home invader?
Nothing was done to them.
Then it wasn't selfdefense. Self-defense is legal everywhere, gunning down unarmed people is not(*), even if they are breaking into your home.
(*) except in Florida I hear.

...for years that "Guns don't kill people; video games do!" Looks like they're right for once.
Pretty sure there was a gun involved in the shooing.
Yes, more guns - along with proper "regulation" (i.e. aim) would have greatly reduced the number of casualties... but as that doesn't align with the anti-gun narrative you wish to project, you probably leave that out...

Eat varied and don't follow fad diets. That is all yoy need to believe in.

Truer words has rarely been spoken. Welcome to the sane side
No, no kidding. You can get a used iPhone 7 for below that price. Battery? Get the battery changed this year, it's still cheap from an Apple store.
Haha.. good joke. Loved the part where you started with "no kidding"

It is not fear mongering when it is observable facts. Trump is retarded Hitler an ill Duché
I've yet to meet one person who has said, "what this phone needs is a notch".
Yet... now that Google's banned them, I really want a three-notch phone.
Make it four and we can have a round Android device.
Though I assume they don't include corner cutouts in their notches, so it is more like a max of 6 cutouts.

will apple go AMD or delay mac pro to 2020?
