I used to live in Portland, and my impression of why traffic delays are caused is because only about 5% of the people on the road know how a merge works. And, they haven't built a road in 30 years while the population has almost doubled.
Pentium Pro is 20 years old, and used an insane amount of electricity to do what it does in comparison to what could be had for less than $125 now. Even an Atom-based SBC from today can do what that Pentium Pro 200 could 7 or 8 times faster, and do it using like 20W of power, maximum.
The electricity savings alone would pay for deleting that ancient hardware and replacing it, much less that fantastic increase in processing power for what is literally Intel's current lowest end x86 CPU.
Don't forget that the square footage of real estate necessary to keep all of those test machines is worth more than the machines you're putting on them, to say nothing of the electrical cost of running the tests.
Yeah, except they aren't killing 32-bit support. They're killing support for ancient 32-bit processors like the Pentium MMX and AMD K-5 series.
Oh, I'm sorry - did you still want to run brand new software on your 10 year old CPU? Neither did anyone else. This is a complete non-event - the modern 32-bit CPUs (Pentium II, Pentium III, Pentium IV, Xeon 3-digit, Athlon, Duron, Celeron variants of the previously mentioned Pentium lines, Atom, etc.) will all still work.
Sure. So instead of deliberately trying to blind the pilot of the enemy aircraft, he's shooting at a target on the plane conspicuously close to the cockpit window. Just like using infantry weapons that are designated for use against military equipment only are shot at military equipment like mortar tubes, heavy machine gun tripods, H-harnesses and entrenching tools, and absolutely NOT the operators or soldiers carrying those things.
I'm sure it has absolutely nothing to do with the base input price of gasoline being a commodity on a market that is deeply hedged by all competitors. No, it must be price fixing.
You do know that there are various altitudes you can orbit at, right? I'm guessing if you were to park your big space rock you were looking to mine somewhere that satellites aren't, you'd likely be okay. Like, above geostationary orbit, for example.
Yeah, or without Cruz in the race, there is no way that Trump doesn't secure the delegates to win this thing outright. He was barely holding on by a thread, and now that even the RNC has called Trump the "presumptive nominee" I doubt that Kasich is getting any more donations to keep this thing going. Thus, "suspending" the campaign.
Well, if he starts doing some of the things he's talking about, he'll likely be impeached by the Congress for violating the Separation of Powers, which he still doesn't seem to fully grasp.
Hint: tax laws and trade treaties are ratified into LAW by the CONGRESS, and the executive can't just up and change them on a whim. There's a reason why the Founding Fathers left the tax policy with the House of Representatives, and the treaty ratification with the Senate, which used to be the House of the States until the 17th Amendment.
Don't forget when the first question that even comes close to campaign finance is asked, and Clinton trots out that line she's been selling about taking Wall Street's money, but not being bought and paid for, that Trump can immediately refute that saying that he personally bought and paid for her while she was the junior Senator from the Great State of New York, and cite examples of when he donated money, and the quid pro quo he received.
I guess you could call the election of either a pandering self-serving questionably unethical and possible felon, or a self-serving self-aggrandizing thin coating of Man Tan proto-fascist "fun", but I call it a possible end to the Republic as we know it.
I'm waiting for the inevitable photoshopping of giant mirrored TRUMP signs on the wall once built, mirroring the ghastly signs on the rest of his properties.
I doubt there is a whole lot of crossover between the semi-moderate Kasich (accepted Obamacare-funded expansion to Medicaid, told the more conservative state assembly in Ohio to stuff it on their "reforms" to education, tried to raise fees and taxes on oil and gas extraction in order to pay for essential services) and the ultra-conservative Cruz. Just about the only two things they are in lock-step on is abortion / defunding Planned Parenthood, and not being Trump.
People keep bringing up money, even though this election has shown that money is not everything. Look at the HUGE sum of money spent trying to beat Trump so far, and look at the results.
Everyone thought that Jeb! was going to have this thing wrapped up by Super Tuesday because of his 'war chest' advantage. He's still rubbing the bruises back home in Florida.
As far as pathologically dishonest goes, the Republic survived Nixon, and actually got some good work done. The Clean Water Act. The EPA. Ending the Vietnam War. Opening trade with China. The SALT I nuclear weapons limitation treaty.
Not bad for being a corrupt dishonest asshat who was going to be impeached if he didn't choose to fuck off on his own.
There is absolutely no chance of people being drafted again. Vietnam saw to that - a conscription army is far less trained and motivated than a volunteer army, and any attempt to bring back the draft would be instant political suicide in any political climate less than an all-out invasion of the continental US.

Stopped cars that are stopped in the wrong place get run into by moving things.
Your point?
Apple cash on hand: $216B
Google market cap: $487B
Certainty of DoJ objection on antitrust grounds: 100%
That's probably why.

If you're that worried about back doors, don't plug it into a network.
And make sure your tinfoil hat is secure on your head - I think it's slipped a bit.

A. it was a quote from Office Space
B. it wasn't just HP - Lexmark printers would show that message too.

Commenting about satellites is laughable.

Well, getting Cruz out of a Senate seat and just into a tiebreaker role would be an improvement for the Senate...

I'm sure someone could fashion the Uncle Sam outfit into a pants-suit...

That's bold, using the verb 'purge' when talking about left-leaning political groups...
At least he's got someone with plenty of experience of showing whole crowds of people the door...

Don't forget the updated version of the same ad from the 1984 Democratic campaign: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
We're about overdue for a television spot juxtaposing nuclear annihilation and cute children from the Democratic National Committee.
