I'd gladly claim to be a Republican if it automatically meant that $100 bills just start floating out of the sky and into my pocket. No, you actually have to be a Republican for that (by which I mean a Halliburtican, not a Redneckican).
There are certain things that are better left to dedicated chipsets. Dedicated chipsets, yes; but why involve your PCI express if you can run a private minibus?
Novel processing units tend to be on separate chipsets before they are integrated. Take for instance floating point units. No longer did you have to simulate non-integer values in your own code: you just bought an FPU and plugged it in. Similarly, we don't have to write our own 3D renderers any more, and eventually Graphical Processing Units will be integrated into the same casing as the CPU, just as Floating Point Units were before them.
Some day in the future, this Olympics will be regarded the same as the 1936 Olympics. You're very optimistic! The 1936 Olympics is regarded that way because the Nazis lost.
Nonetheless, your stated example illustrates my point - later, for whatever reason, you could see and admit that the behavior would fit the flirt category. You do understand that there are people who claim this later never happens, yes? That they never flirt, or never flirt with so and so, or never flirt because x-y-z? Ah, okay. I thought we were talking about this (in some distant ancestor post of yours):
After years of trust they've let me in on a little secret - no woman at any time flirts without knowing about it. That seems to me to be a much stronger statement. Mind you, I did forget that you were only talking about women (I am a man). However, I do trust my wife when she claims she is in the same boat!
Given that, are you saying that your not-conscious flirting comprises more than a miniscule percentage of flirtatious behavior, or it just a once-in-a-while thing - or is a high percentage? Yeah, I think it's towards the high end. I am also one of those who doesn't generally realise when others are flirting with me (or at least not until too late and I was already married:] )
If you say it's a high percentage - and actually believe that - then I do know your mind very well. If you simply accept me to believe it, then I'll say what I always say - of course I believe it. I didn't really mean to call you a liar, but you did make quite a strong statement.
BTW - I think you're flirting with me. Actually, interestingly, I have noticed a class of behaviour in myself which is very akin to flirting, but with men, in whom I have no sexual interest. It happens when I meet someone, like them (but not in that way), and want them to know it. It involves lots of careful attention, eye contact, etc. I guess I could give some wrong signals to gay men that way; perhaps that happens to women with straight men too?
However, I cannot find the corner case anecdote to my life experience of hitting pavement due to gravity when I fall, any more than I could for the cases I mentioned in flirting. Hitting the pavement is something you can directly experience. Knowing the mind of another is not. I know that I have exhibited behaviour that I would later categorize as flirtatious without being conscious of it at the time. Therefore, I know you that are wrong. I cannot expect you to know that you are wrong, but I don't understand why you have arrived at the position you occupy: that you think you know better than me about my own mind. Do you think I have some reason to be lying to you? Or do you think I am mistaken? Either way, why?
If they're all done by the time the clock ticks again, whether or not they're actually done simultaneously is an implementation detail, one which you would do well not to make assumptions about.
True, but which is better, 4 MacBook Airs or 5? In order to control the variables, the same person should be allowed to win all the laptops, otherwise what if someone is just much better than everyone else?

Perhaps God's plan is to wipe out all of mankind? He's done it before, you know. Well, okay, there was Noah. But who's to say that God hasn't arranged for someone to survive a black hole event? Well, okay, he did say he wouldn't do it again. But he might change his mind. He's done that before too, you know.
In 9 months with one "processor", one unit of output. In 9 months with 2000 "processors" a number which approaches 2000, but is somewhat less. The expected output for one "processor" is somewhat less than one unit too, for exactly the same reason...

Corner case anecdotes are just fine when you're arguing against someone that says "here is a rule without a single exception".

Well, if you don't understand it by now, I doubt anything I can say is going to make any difference.
