If the pixels are under the DPI where your eye can even tell at a reasonable usage distance, does it matter if they are there or not?
Sounds like 3.1 million more pixels that need to be redrawn 60 times a second for not a lot more value added. Except for marketing, because they all believe that more is always better.
Because the telecoms are the reason all this ridiculous shit is necessary to begin with.
If the telecoms weren't the grasping motherfuckers that they are, we would already have the high speed networks we already paid for through excise taxes for the last 20 years, and Google wouldn't have to spend the resources to try to work around them.
... who has been failing at smart phones for 15 years. First, to Palm. Then to Blackberry. Now to Apple and Google.
Their products have been horrid for as long as some of their customers have been alive, and they aren't getting better enough to cause people to want to switch from their known ecosystem.
Who's talking about little consumer generators? I'm talking about generating stations that power the grid. Even if running on petroleum, they are more efficient than any engine in any car.
Also, an electric vehicle is powered by all sources of power, not just the one that today's diesel buses are. You could burn that diesel in a generator to get more energy out of it now for pushing the bus down the road, and then in the future shut down that diesel generator in favor of solar / wind / hydro / geothermal / tidal / nuclear / whatever and keep the same bus, with the same advantages.
If there's an ROI today, there's no reason not to switch right now, because that ROI only grows into the future.
You do know that the memory limit is a function of the chipset right? The chipset that Intel makes? And that is probably exactly one of the reasons for the quote in the fucking summary? That they're spending more on silicon design because their suppliers are fucking around and not delivering the stuff they need?
TL;DR: You just fucking agreed with the article, even though you were trying to be snide.
Regardless of if you believe a EULA is enforceable or not, setting up any kind of for-profit venture that is violating the EULA of literally the richest company on the planet is a fantastic way to get bankrupted through legal action. Never mind the whole "oh, you updated your server and now it doesn't boot because you're hacking the booter to make it run somewhere it wasn't designed to" problem.
I would much rather have Apple say that I can run macOS with the server app in a VM for added cost in their license than take the legal risks or run with zero support if a business requires it. And I say this having run many OS X servers in the past, on both Mac Pro hardware and both PowerPC and Xeon based XServe models.
As time goes on, it is an increasingly meaningless statistic that is only used as I said above. The approval tracking polls show a more current "popular vote" that is actually updated. And, currently, Trump is losing that one as well, but he wasn't in the first week or so before he started doing really dumb shit.
Easy fix: pay the fuck attention when crossing a street. Look up from your fucking phone every once in a while, or natural selection may catch up.
Also: oh no, we might not have to hear noisy stinky rattle-trap diesel buses bellowing black soot down the street anymore? And you think this is a BAD thing?
According to this it looks like the vast majority comes from hydro, with nuclear and non-hydro renewables about tied (the nuclear energy being the Columbia Nuclear Generating Station that is only a couple miles from Hanford), with natural gas and coal bringing up the rear, also about tied.
Running electric buses in Seattle, a place that has had electric "bendy" buses using overhead catenary wire for decades, makes a whole lot of sense.
You aren't wrong, but the efficiency of fixed energy generation is far higher than your average internal combustion engine. Even a gasoline electrical generator will outperform, because it can run at it's most efficient RPM, and has a fixed load on the output.
Electric vehicles are the future, even if they are powered by today's fuels.
The popular vote is only brought up when someone is seeking to move the goalposts in order to justify their own position.
The rules have been the same since Thomas Jefferson sat in the White House It's not like they aren't known to every single operative within the DNC and RNC. Running up the score in the most populous states does exactly dick in comparison to getting 50% + 1 vote. Campaign accordingly.
Yeah, except that all of those Republicans don't get to name nominees. They only get to "advise and consent" if they are sitting members of the United States Senate - and that advice can be freely ignored by the President, who has the sole power to appoint cabinet nominees for Senate confirmation.
If you want to see a real horror show of government, it would be Trump White House vs. the United States Congress. Vetoing bills out of spite, sending even more unqualified people for confirmation just to troll the Senate, etc. And don't think this guy wouldn't do it.
Many people drive performance vehicles that accelerate as fast, or almost as fast every day without plowing into trees. You know why? They don't do it sloshed.
When you are sober, you actually have the fine motor control and reaction time necessary to capably control a machine like that. When you're a drunk fucking retard, you are far more likely to mash the accelerator, oversteer, and react to situations late, losing control. It might be why there are laws against driving while intoxicated.
You're not actually as smart as you think you are.
Neither are you. Don't attribute to communism (seriously, what the fuck?) what can adequately be explained by common sense. People growing monsoon crops in an arid zone just aren't thinking ahead. Sure, you have the water now, but will you in 10 years? What will you do when your fields are fucking dry and there's no water coming down the irrigation channel?
Since when is "planning ahead for your own future" equated with "centrally planned economy" ? Sure, they are free to grow what they want, but they are also free to not bitch and complain during a drought because they can't get the water to grow unbelievably thirsty crops of their choosing. Where's that side of your argument? And why is it that when people make these bad decisions, it's always up to government to bail their stupid asses out, at the cost of everyone else, be it taxpayer dollars, or raw natural resources?
How many people are living at the bottom of Lake Roosevelt, in it's 400 square kilometer footprint? A lake that is entirely man-made by the Grand Coulee Dam in eastern Washington state. How many squirrels, sword ferns, and fir trees? Zero. There's even pictures of the last tree in the reservoir zone being cut down. Also in the zone: eleven towns, two railroads, three state highways, about one hundred and fifty miles of country roads, four sawmills, fourteen bridges, four telegraph and telephone systems, and many power lines and cemeteries. All facilities had to be purchased or relocated, and 3,000 residents were relocated.
However, how much energy do we harvest from this one dam on the mighty Columbia river? 6,800 MW. It's the largest generating station in the United States. And there's 10 more dams downriver that also generate power besides this one, and three more upriver in Canada.
Hydroelectric does have it's costs, and they often get whitewashed away.
One was purchased at a discount several years ago (the DisplayPort model) and the other was provided by my employer (the Thunderbolt model).
I didn't have any problem purchasing the one I bought myself, because I bought one of the 20" displays at a discount a decade ago, and it still works flawlessly on my server rack. Apple built them right, and it shows. You might pay a bit more for one (when they were available for purchase) but you weren't going to throw it away for many years to come.
Too bad - the 27" Cinema Displays are actually really good products. I have two of them on my desk - one LED Cinema Display, and one Thunderbolt version, chained together.
One cable plugged into the side of my laptop gives me two 27" displays, external SSD, gigabit ethernet, the four speakers in the displays, camera, mic, USB keyboard, USB mouse. And there's a MagSafe connector coming off the same cable, which powers the MacBook Pro.
Add to that the Mini-DisplayPort version is on a KVM switch for my desktop PC, so the mouse, keyboard, and that one display switch when I hit a button. It all works brilliantly, and you can't do it anymore because Apple decided to ruin their notebooks by stripping off all ports that aren't USB-C, and discontinue the Thunderbolt Cinema Display in favor of the fault piece of shit in TFA.

Gartner was probably not the only company taking money for "market analysis" from Microsoft.
It's almost like Gartner and it's "Magic Quadrant" horseshit are up for the highest bidder.
Oh wait, they always have been.

Blind people already know how to deal with this, and they'll hear the noise from the 31-inch tires hauling a 16-ton bus down the road.

It's ok - after the brakes are broken, they regenerate. He DID said regenerative breaking!

You're off by an order of magnitude.

Corrupt politicians care about putting their name on new stuff, in order to get elected to higher offices.
Fixing old shit doesn't make members of the state legislature into congresspersons.
You just didn't comprehend.

Most of the water problems are created by stupidity.
And nothing of value will be lost.
