Had not heard that before (have heard the urban myth times). Thanks for the interesting walk through google, other people who have not come across this before might find this page to be interesting.
Who would argue? Like most scientists I would happily give them a copy of my own work. Screw the publishers, they are an illegal cartel and we have no realistic options but accept their monopoly or find another career.
I picked one up at a similar prices in a sale a few months back. It has my entire Steam library on it, and all of games have the shortest loading delays that I've ever experienced. Lovin it.
So a company that controls a sizeable portion of the flow of information through the largest communications network in the world. Vast power over the importance and presentation of image. And it was given a sweet tax deal by a group of people whose careers depend entirely on their image as presented in the media.
It's been a long time since there were any history shows on the History Channel. Alien Megastructures: the reality show where rival alien groups compete to transport large structures around the galaxy in short time frames. If they break it they buy it...
You seem to have claimed that people who have insurance get prepaid rather than free drugs. The AC did not miss your point, he corrected you. Insurance is only prepaid if it covers the whole cost, when it does not it is neither free nor prepaid.
If there is any ambiguity it is that when you made your claim you mean "you" entirely literally - to refer only to the poster that you were responding to, and not people with medical insurance in general. That is a non-standard / unusal way if phrasing what you meant and if that is the cause then your point was indeed lost somewhere in translation.
Either that or you were simply wrong and got corrected. It does seem in hindsight there is a little ambiguity about which happened.
Might ve a temporary problem, but right now your paywall-free link in the sunmary goes to a nature paywall asking for $22, and your other twitter link goes to a "nature is broken right now, we will charge you later" page. Shame as your article sounds interesting, any chance of putting the pre-submission draft on Arxiv?
Over here in a "socialist" country where the major providers were not handed geographic monopoliies, but had to compete with one another: I have to live within a 24GB "cap" each month, and can nornally rely on an 80mb connection over 4g because of huge over-provision of service. I'm loving 1080p netflix or youtube when I want.
You are trying to describe a Wacom tablet. Had one, been there. It is lovely. But my interest is not sketching at a PC - I want something to replace a physical pad and pen.
Explain to me what is up with the lag. Completely unpredictable shifts in latency from zero to over a second. This was horrific - it completely ruins the interface.
What is with the little diamond near the nib of the pen? It seems to track the pen reasonably well, but the actual ink from the tool misses that diamond by a few centimetres. If the tracking is there (diamond only seems to lag behind the nib by about a centimetre or so in fast strokes) , why is the actual drawing from the tool so far from that diamond, and so slow.
I'm only explaining what I saw. If anyone thinks it is bullshit then head into a shop and try one. As for shilling for Apple - where have I said anything positive about the iPad Pro? That is another first-gen product that looks like it needs some tweaks.
Whoops: forgot to say, obviously my main interest is sketching. The surface running windows ten shows what touch on a laptop should br. Very nice. Without a pen the ipad pro was just a really big ipad - bit pointless.
Played with one in a shop today, it was very disappointing. The pen is shit. Horrific lag, unpredictable latency. Tried the builtin software ("fresh paint"?), what a pile of crap. Every tool works like a tweaked airbrush from deluxe paint 2. No real sense of accuracy or control trying the various pencils.
The reviews online have gushed over the interface, how much shilling is going on? Going to try the iPencil when it turns up here, but not expecting a huge inprovement over the surface. First-gen might get skipped here.
God you are so right. What a bastard! I wish he would keep all of that money instead of giving it away. That would totally make the world a better place.
The swedish prices include a 30% tax, and we are a very expensive territory to buy components in. You can't compare US list prices against swedish in any meaningful way.

Which is strange given Valve's backing. CS-GO would sell a lot of systems.

Not worth getting. For $15 more you can get a 1TB Samsung EVO 1TB - better reliance and better performance.

The greatest inequality in the world today is that individuals are taxed on income while companies are taxed on profits.

It may be old, but was it ever news?
Is it known as a rhetorical device?
Mine does? I have a 4k screen plugged in on displayport so that it can do 60fps. It definitely does audio as well...
Thank you for your sacrifice. I will shed a tear for you as I play on my GTX980ti.

Doesn't look like he did - he is pointing that his experience of insurance is neither free, nor prepaid.

... For the slashdot audience.
To be fair to him: this is largely a theoretical issue.
Which imaginary friends encourage you to celebrate the middle of winter through the modern secular pastime of consumer excess?
They sound like pretty cool friends.
Fuck You I'm Good Mate? or something else...
As it happens it is one of the most open countries in the world for immigration. http://www.migrationsverket.se...
I did not know that Motorolla was an American company. And yet such Italian chic! Lives and learns...
So Americans have internet acess that sucks?
Boo, fucking hoo.
