on the speed of your memory, and the speed of your disk, SSD's are getting more common.
No, it doesn't. Memory is faster. If they get a result saying otherwise, they are doing it wrong, and are actually just measuring the performance of the in-memory cache speeding up the simplest implementation vs the performance of their own crappy implementation.
2: An attack on Iran would rally every Mecca-facing worshiper to attack the US and Israel.
No, Iran are Shias. Most of the Muslim nations would love to see them gone.
3: Iran is pretty damn powerful. They sell plenty of oil to China and Turkey. Even with sanctions, they are the top producing car maker in the region.
4: Iran is no "shit-o-stan". Attacking Iran would be like attacking Germany or France, with retaliation that a First World government would return with.
No. Iran is powerful and has a serious military, but so did Iraq. The two were in the same league. Somehow Iraq's one million men under arms was still not comparable to less than 100,000 western troops.
Doesn't BBT say that men working in STEM are actually just dumb kids but women working in STEM are intelligent, rich, well respected and never put a foot wrong? Bernadette and Amy never seem to make goofs or mope around like little kids but the men are so brainless they can't even fix themselves a meal or plan a vacation, it seems. Indeed the most brilliant can't just be an amazing scientist but has to be mentally deficient. Even the supposed "dumb blonde", Penny, merely has to look at the men and she has the idiots eating out of her hand.
Now that stereotype of men in STEM maybe has a lot going for it, but holding up BBT as supporting men as cherished scientific role models seems pretty far off the mark.
That was not the point. The point was how it makes fun of people in those fields in general. Women are more sensitive to fashion subjects than men, and will be quicker to avoid those that are being made fun off.
I would love to care about it, but technologywise most of the smartwatches have sidetracked by using smartphone operating systems and hardware which gets them unacceptable battery life, and all they get in return is phone-apps you wouldn't run on your watch anyway. Smart watches should have focused on notifications and remote control of the smartphone, both with much simpler operating systems, and e-ink displays. Pebble is doing it right, but doesn't have the weight to make mainstream. Android watches are getting there, and slowly figuring ít out, but are still overkill for the form-factor.
Oh wait, no she didn't. Your argument relies entirely on ignoring the fact that from birth until college, women are explicitly and forcefully discouraged from going into STEM fields.
No, they are not. And most sciences have a majority of girls now. Especially biologi. It is just the technology, math and physics that is left as culturally considered ungirly., and that is rarely or never discouraged explicitely and certainly not forcefully, but subtly through cultural stereotypes. For instance through the nerd black-face show Big Bang Theory.
I use links quite frequently, but I include them according to my priorities, moods, and convenience, not yours.
Your priorities as an insane lunatic, or deliberate troll doesn't mean anything to the rest of us. Site your sources or continue to be correctly and verifiably identified as a insane lunatic troll.
His statement is still true, though. Even the most right-wing liberal European parties are nowhere even close to fascism (which doesn't believe in liberties for businesses at all).
Fascist economics is an economy run by the largest corporation with the backing of the state. It is cronyism taken to its extreme. Economywise all of the west let by the US are descending towards fascism.
so any liberal who calls conservatives fascists (or calls other liberals fascists just because they aren't radical enough for their tastes), is merely self-identifying as a political moron and socially underdeveloped
The liberals he is talking about is, like liberal most places outside the US, right wing. Typically to the right of the local conservatives. They believe in liberties for businesses.
The Mac will cost $700 extra, and come with a higher-resolution display, a quad-core processor, and more RAM. That may be a better deal for her if she plans to do a whole lot of work directly on the laptop, rather than using the laptop to access remote computers.
Or you know, you could configure the ThinkPad you are buying to have a quadcore and a 3K screen. Note that with the same CPU the ThinkPad will be faster than a MBP by being thicker and having much better cooling. Mac's CPU are really only good in short sprints, for intensive load you need something like a ThinkPad.
RAM can be upgraded by the user. So you can also save money in taking a smaller option (just choose a 1 DIMM one), and then add more ram yourself. This is installable through a hatch on the botton, doesn't even require opening the body.
If you need even more GPU and CPU power, get the ThinkPad W line.
Germans have a reputation for being precise, their language is very precise
As I experience it, German is inherently imprecise, but that forces you to be very precise when using it. Doing anything out of the certain established structures and what you say will be ambigous and sound wrong to germans.
In most scenarios, unless you have an NSA mole in your home/business, Isn't that basically the same as requiring direct access to the machine? Or are we just talking about "on the same planet" type of access?
No, it means someone has replaced your access point, impersonated it or you are connecting to a network that isn't yours.
And no an encrypted WiFI doesn't help, the AP still has access to the unencrypted data.
Freedom of speech is not the only right there is, and it is not some sort of 'super right' that trumps all others.
FCC rules - an argument could be made that this is a restriction of speech. However, an argument could also be made that the public should have the freedom to decide how a scare public resource (airwaves) can be used. Does Germany have no such freedom for the public to influence use of public resources? If not, score one more freedom for the US.
Lawyers - I guess you mean libel/slander laws. Does Germany have no right of a person to seek redress for being lied about? If not, score one more freedom for the US
Facebook - Does Germany have no freedom of the press, that is, the right to decide what you will and will not publish using your private property? If not, score one more freedom for the US
General politeness - wtf? Is there some kind of law in Germany that says I must still associate with you and not think ill of you just because you make repugnant or just stupid speeches? If so, score another freedom for the US
School district rules - should the public have no say in the environment that is created, using its tax money, in the place where its children must attend each day by law?
Are you being sarcastic, and pointing out how little freedom the US has?
I use regular cellophane tape. It is opaque enough to destroy the image, clear enough not to be exactly sure why. Looks like a heavy smudge of grease/oil, like you touched it while eating fries or something.
Just remember to remove it before starting a video conference, otherwise the rest of the participants will start complaining about a poor connection.
It's not like you can charge your phone from a distance.
That's coming, and soon. There's a standard coming now which does it at up to 10W, which is enough to run many small devices outright.
I doubt it. You either have to point a beam very accurately or you lose efficiency to cube of distance. Using a 100W to get 10W a meter away is just not very acceptable.
That is not C++ ABI, that is STL ABI, and they are not significant changes. It is in fact one minor change to a few STL templates, but just done now gcc is increasing the major number anyway.
Just in case you are not being sarcastic, or someone is not getting it: Even with constant emisions, the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is still increasing, now it is just no longer also accelerating.

No, they were negotiating surrender. They were just not offering unconditional surrender, and the American leadership demanded.

It can also be equipped with 16 GB of RAM (vs. max 12 GB for a T440s).
Even T420 can be equipped with a more RAM than that. Just not in the default installs. Remember I told you it is user upgradable?
Yes, they didn't bail out the banks, but in doing so they allowed someone in Iceland to steal £30,000 of my money.
Steal them, as in YOU lost them, by investing or saving money in a deal that was too good to be true, and which then collapsed?

So was this originally a 16Gbyte card, where 4Gbyte was so slow as to be useless, so they decided to be honest this time?
DLC literally started out as cosmetic-only. It has become MORE substantial over the years, not less.
They also started out entirely free. Stuff you payed for was called expansions.
DLC only started having a cost after they became available on consoles, from there the DLC for money spread to PC through consolitis.
OR, you know ... good parenting, not allowing them to watch TV except when appropriate
OR you know ... teaching your kids about how commercials work, trying to get them to buy useless toys and crappy "food" products.
Why did you allow your kids to be bombarded with commercials at an age where they couldn't cope?
Being an overprotecting helicopter parent is also harming your child.
...an attacker on the same network...

Americans...
modern English grew out of Old English
Actually it grew out of a combination of Old English and Medieval French.
With a lot Old Norse/Danish words and gramatic simplifications thrown in just to spice it up a bit.
Justice is only about revenge. What else is there?
Real justice?
You get what you deserve for your wrongdoing nothing more nothing less. Justice has nothing to do with revenge.
