Actually Trump did write his own Inauguration speech. In the early days of his campaign he wrote most of them too. Later on he did use a speech writer from what I understand.
If I had my way every rocket that NASA launched would look like something off NASCAR. Every spot on every rocket that wasn't mission critical would be up for sponsorship. Oh the irony of watching a big ass rocket with viagra down the side rising into the Florida sky one morning.
Let's run an experiment. Take the first real AI and put it in a electronic sandbox with no real connection to the rest of the world. Then in that sandbox simulate real world connections, including access to nuclear weapons. Don't tell the AI that is in a sand box and see what it does.
I thought they replaced Obama's blackberry with a secure S4 or something a while back. If so, I'm assuming that Trump will be carrying around the same thing.
In all honesty I would be perfectly happy with a slightly thicker phone if that is what it took to get a bigger battery in it. My S7 is already to thin as it is. I had to find a case to put it in to make it feel right in my hand.
Lets just stop and be serous here for a bit. Desktop sales may have slown down but desktops are not going any where. Nobody programs on tablets unless they are developing apps for them. Even then most of the development takes place on desktops in a emulator. I count a docked laptop as a temporary desktop.
Real gamers do no use phones for games. Real gamers use custom made desktops with high end graphics cards and big fat monitors. They have surround sound audio and carefully selected controllers.
ARM, while a good processor design, isn't really found outside the phone and tablet market. You find some low powered chrome books that use it but that is about it.
Nobody in the industry takes a ARM server seriously. You might have a few "mavericks" that use it but the real server market is dominated by the x86 servers. An it will continue to be for the foreseeable future.
Someone posted some links after I posted my request. Some of these read like the ramblings of some loon in a basement some where. They remind me of the early days when they started embedding serial numbers in CPU's.
But serouasly with any technology this complex there is plenty of room for abuse. But that being said if it was being abused it would be done by now. With as many crackers and other low life's on the internet I'm sure it would have been exploited by now if it was true.
For the non-sheeple, none of the current-gen desktop-competitive processors that cost less than a used car are available without some form of potential DRM or system compromise. Is that really what you want in a central and overly relied upon part of your life?
Then shoutcast is your friend. The software for it is free and you can set it up on any old box from the last 10 years.
A few weeks back I was listening to some Reggie out of Jamaica, at least I think it was Jamaica. I have no ideal what that dj was saying but he knew there was more to Reggie than Bob Marley.
Agree there. I listen to Jazz and Blues. The city I live in has exactly 0 stations of each. But they do have a shit load of both kinds of the other kind, country and western.
Spotify's jazz selection has kept me from hating both pickup trucks and horses.
I'm one of the few diehards that likes to listen to FM radio because its simple, couple buttons to press in the car and someone else chooses the music. I'll put up with ads for that.
If you are a FM radio junky one of the things you may have heard of is that I heart radio app. Which itself is a ad riddled piece of crap ware. What a lot of people don't know is iheartradio uses a 48K AAC icecast stream. Most of the iheartradio stations can be picked up and listened to with a simple icecast app like xiialive.
So if you want to listen to pure FM with out the add baggage of iheartradio ads you can go that route.
If I just liked to listen to the same cd over and over, maybe. But for 10 bucks a month I have access to millions of cd's and thousands of bands. A great deal of them I have never even heard of.
One of the best features of spotify I have found is listening to other peoples play lists. I have found entire genres of music that I didn't know existed or liked.
it should be baked into the OS that answering a phone call is top priority above all else.
My first cell phone was a nokia 6130 or something like that in 1998. I was one of the first digial/analog phones and the call quality was little worse than the land of the time.
It had a few features on it like a awesome game of black and white snake and a calendar. But first most and for most it was a phone and it did that job well. Better than most of the smart phones that came later. Hell, its battery life could be measured in weeks, not hours.
I remember saying to my dad after I got my first smart phone that makers where trying to do so much with them that they forgot they where phones. Things have gotten better but not as good as they used to be.
An in some corners that is understandable. For a lot of people today the purpose of their smart phones is not for them to be phones at all. They are portable entertainment devices and information terminals. The fact that they are phones is just a secondary purpose.
Now days even the phone part of the smart phone is just an app that runs. I have 3 different apps on my phone that ring to 3 different numbers. Wait there might be 5, I don't remember.
First off, I'm a liberal. Voted for Hillary, although my heart belonged to Bernie. I'm not afraid of Trump, though, so I'm apparently not a very good liberal.
If you're not a very good liberal, then I'm not a very good conservative. You seem to be a liberal that uses his brain, which we need more of. Like we need more conservatives that use their brains. Good liberals and good conservatives need to realize we are all in the same boat now and work together.
An not all conservatives are thrilled that Trump is in the Whitehouse. I know I'm not. Kind of like waking up and finding Captain Bligh is at the helm.
But like you said, I'm not afraid of him. If he tries to do some stupid and illegal shit, both conservatives and liberals will need to work together to hand him his walking papers.

Now I just wish he would hire a tweeter writer.

Diamonds are pretty much worth next to nothing already. The only thing that makes them worth as much as they are is artificial scarcity.
This news is simply ... stunning.
Consult the Hackers Jargon file if you don't understand my comment.

I never thought of it that way but now it seems pretty clear.

Hell yes. Hail Eris, let this be interesting.
Sweet. Now that is how you make a clock.
Did they take tweeter off it?
Or glowing in the dark from nuclear fallout.
Awesome. Just what I never wanted.
In all honesty I would be perfectly happy with a slightly thicker phone if that is what it took to get a bigger battery in it. My S7 is already to thin as it is. I had to find a case to put it in to make it feel right in my hand.
The FX-8350 is rated at 125W. You are thinking of teh FX-9950.

for no boot because they'd upgraded ram by installing a sodimm in a PCI slot...)
You are shitting us right? Nobody is that incompetent.
