Just the wrong way around. Dont be mislead by the HIGH clocks of ARM processors! The ARM performance per clock sucks. Those arm netbooks have less performance than a P2-300, even though they run at a lot higher frequency.
Nah, you are getting that one the wrong way around:
The reason speakers need multiple drivers is because they have to create the sound waves "into infinity", while the headphones only have to create a wave in a small volume of air between the coils and the earsdrums.
A typical rule of thumb is that frequency reproduction of a headphone is about as good as of a speaker 25 times its price.
Come on. There is at least some limit to idiocy. ANY system will support 8Gbytes. You can get a system with a tyian board supporting 128Gbyte for less than one of those new Mac Pros.
When i read "Picassa 3, now with face recognition" a while ago, I thought that this is cool. But when i noticed later on that its only available on googles servers, I was like "Fuck you, google".
To your title: Yes. Its easily a support nightmare.
OTOH, i am very sure that CCP looked at their stats, counted the number of linux cusomers and made some quick calculations that showed they will never make the money they would need to spend.
There is a difference between an appoximation and the way the article want to have errors possible.
The approximation used in quake 3 will give the same results everytime. It wont be the _exact_ result, but it will be reproducable. The same way things are done in the CPUs, anyway. They just run the newton-raphson loop a few times more to get a guranteed minimum accurace. But that doesnt mean its always the same (in the whitepapers of cpu manufacturer you can find really funky graphs, for example for the error of FSIN (X) for x[0...pi/4].
With the approch from the article, the same calculation may return different results. That a nightmare in terms of error estimation and propagation, except in some very limit cases....
Now the replacement after the painful procedure will ALSO be able to rot and hurt like the original. Fuck yeah !
(only half joking. I was really happy after a root channel treatment, as that damn think was finally dead and not able to hurt anymore. In constrast to the year before.)
Thats bullshit, and has been for decades. Its a myth. Just learn about it. Even if we use our newest AFM, or XMCD microscopy, you wont see an overwritten byte in any drive of the last 5 years. And even the last decade is very doubtful (basically, since GMR drives are around). There IS NO SPACE between tracks anymore. Bits are right next to each other. If you overwrite, nothing above the superparamagnetic limit is left.
Not even the NSA could get anything useful out of a single overwrite with zeros (well, except relocation sectors and other specialities that might compromise security, but doesnt help with a backup)
A) Most computers dont need a lot of storage. At least compared to that fact that the smallest HDs now would be 160Gbyte (only one side of one platter used). There is just no way to reduce costs with HD beyond that point, you always get a 20-30$ minimum. While with SSDs, you can scale down very far (a $5 drive would not be impossible).
B) Tiered Storage will be the future, imho. There is just too much a discripancy between the storage needed for media and for OS/Programms/etc. While i cannot see the first going SSD anytime soon, the latter is already well within reach, if you sensibly seperate.
The LHC has been longer in development than the WWW exists (there are screenshots around from the "first website ever" that had design drawings of the atlas detector on it.
It has happened. They got to fix it, piece by piece. Do you really need a "what cf flanges we replaced today" blog?

Your point is correct.
Just the wrong way around.

If google maps would just allow you to zoom in enough to let russia fill the screen.
Seriously, anybody else expecting, well, MORE with that headline? Like a complete mapping of function calls, or something?
Its even WORSE than just being asynchronous:
EXT4 reproducably delays write ops, but commits journal updates concerning this write.
Come on. There is at least some limit to idiocy.

That was my first thought, too.

Is that it will force asian companies to pay money to an american company.
So the Supreme Court might have just a little bias there...
There are maps from the 1500s that show california as an island.
Seriously, is there a dumbass around to belive _anything_?
do you even imagine how much it would have needed to snow in antarctica to build up the amount of ice there is now in only 5 centuries?

Guess what:
Its slow as ass BECAUSE somebody else in the network is hitting 400KB in a movie torrent at the same time...
Really, i dont understand most of the retards here. Kneejerk anybody?
The EULA ensues
a) that its a P2P service (you know, YOUR upload)
and
b) that you still have privacy when using it.
Both are required AND desireable.
True, you cannot really enforce it. But at least they did try to do the best for their customers.
And i would refuse one without a touchpad.
Face it, people like different things.
I dont like touchpads, but those stupid mouseclits are unusable.
Was supposed to be a reply to the original post.
His chance of retrieval was trivially above the random 50%.
You just could guess _any_ content with the same probability.
Metamaterials are interesting enough _whithout_ that stupid invisibility shit everytime.
I mean, lenses without diffration limit are also interesting. And opposed to the inisibility stuff, they might really work.
Well, guess you didnt have a fresh from the university doc work on a hole in your tooth before.
I just say "oops, that was too deep", followed by over a year of "maybe the inflamation will stop at some point".
Now the replacement after the painful procedure will ALSO be able to rot and hurt like the original. Fuck yeah !

2005 is stone-age concerning LEDs, you know?
Prices have dropped, efficiency went up, brightnes too.
And how much does it cost a city to send somebody to big a light (worktime, vehicle, etc)?
Mercury vapour is MUCH worse than led in terms of "spiky spectrum". They nearly have no continuum at all. LEDs do.
You are thinking to monolithical.
There are two aspects to consider:
A) Most computers dont need a lot of storage. At least compared to that fact that the smallest HDs now would be 160Gbyte (only one side of one platter used). There is just no way to reduce costs with HD beyond that point, you always get a 20-30$ minimum. While with SSDs, you can scale down very far (a $5 drive would not be impossible).
B) Tiered Storage will be the future, imho. There is just too much a discripancy between the storage needed for media and for OS/Programms/etc. While i cannot see the first going SSD anytime soon, the latter is already well within reach, if you sensibly seperate.
And you are old enough to belive that myth.
(well, at lest the "space" part. Seriously, that brought very very little. not even the teflon pan.
