Maybe that depends on climate and other specifics, but in France it's precisely in the summer that nuclear plants have a bit of trouble. There is sometimes a shortage of water for cooling, as well as some environmental damage due to warm exhaust water (it messes with aquatic life)
You can try Firefox Developer (i.e. Aurora/Alpha) it runs a lot better, with e10s by default. You have to disable the ugly skin, then remove useless icons from the toolbar, then that's all. Using the beta version now : no e10s, so I came across bad behavior but for now it is rather decent still.
A web BROWSER? One reason to put the word in all caps could be that it's likely to be the most complex piece of software many people use. One example, I regularly ask myself, why is bookmark and history management so poor in Firefox and unchanged since version 1.0? (or even worsened a bit with Australis adding a "right side history panel" with no features, but the left side panel still available)
e.g. History doesn't seem made to sort through things with multiple criterions at the same time, nor to allow an explicit date range. Bookmarks are dumped in a few folders and to manage the mess it feels like the Windows 95/98 start menu, only less convenient. Where's the database with multiple categories, sort by site and by date etc.? Exporting? (including txt, html) Saving a local copy? Be able to back up all bookmarks related to a topic in a certain date range, with or without local copy. Other the years I collected some articles (in the form of bookmark references) and ended up with quite some data loss when losing a hard drive (and no I shouldn't need a "Sync")
and they asked about how microcontrollers are doing.
So, cars have had computers for the last 30 years, washing machines have had computers for 30 years and we have more tiny computers in our computers (such as a battery charge controller?)
Washing machine have gained a useful feature : two-digit display that tells an estimate of the time remaining. What more do we really need? Why does an oven need more than some tiny mechanical bell and turning the heat off when time is elapsed? Why does an "environment control" system needs to snitch on you whereas one-way data (from the environment TO the object) would suffice? e.g. time of day, luminosity etc. for a window that opens and closes or curtains that slide themselves etc.
There may not have been "IoT" and voice recognition to toggle the lights, but when I grew up there was already an industry infrastructure that had put CPUs in a lot of things. The VCR, Game Boy, microwave, toys, CD player, TV, ad nauseam. So most "things" that would benefit from having a CPU already have one.
Now about maker skills. So, I'm informed I can spend $300 on a printer to make small one-piece plastic objects. But how to do basic sewing? How much does a sewing "starter kit" cost? No one under 35 does that anymore lol.
Years before SCART had a similar feature. Although it was more useful for doing the other way around. If TV is on stand by, and you switch on the Super NES then the TV wakes up and shows the game. On older TVs, you couldn't even select an "AV" input : automatic switching to SCART RGB was the only option. Subsequent generations of consoles shipped with composite cables instead (to save a bit of money I suppose) so the display quality went lower and the feature was lost.
Some support for running Mate + Compiz was introduced in Mint 17.2, and in Mint 17.3 that's been a bit expanded. There is a "Desktop Settings" applet to switch between window manager, compositing enabled or not. I don't care much for compiz myself, but it's a button click affair and you can go there too if you prefer to disable the software composito.
In those sorts of discussion everyone brings his bias and rationalizes his way of living as the true way or the reasonable way, and that includes myself obviously (in the car-less, bike-ful angle)
That's like suggesting that Gnome 3 and Android should unite because they run on top of some linux.
* Better games for Gnome 3 * Gnome Clocks, Gedit 3 and other Gnome applications on Android * Google store on Gnome 3 * Systemd on Android * Maybe tighter integration of Candy Crush clones to Gnome 3's dconf-editor.
To those that think we should change out our light bulbs for LEDs, take the bus or bike to work, use low flow toilets, turn down the thermostat and wear a sweater, drive electric cars, eat locally grown foods, and so on... I say I'd rather have the global warming.
To those that say that I'll say they are misguided if they believe tiny individual acts will amount to anything, although for sure get rid of the damn car. Without cars we could be living like king on $1K per month (plus free heatthcare). Hell, we shit on a personal sit-down toilet so we're living like kings already, but we don't know it yet.
So, you can't buy a 100 watt bulb, but you can buy a 150 000 watt car? What the hell. As if 15 kilowatt would not be enough to move asses around. Technology like steam and electric give high torque at low power and speed limits could be dropped to somehing like 40 mph. I'm in favor of nuclear power, but to also take the bus or bike to work, turn down heat and put a sweater on. And use incandescent halogen, because I prefer a few lights with continuous spectrum to many with spiky spectrum.
If you want a better e-mail provider you'll have to pay for it. If you ever get unable to pay (say, unemployment, homeless, prison, war, disease etc.) you're then at a risk of losing it all. As for 2FA there's no way I'm giving my phone number to $email_provider:). And I have never thought yet about what happens if I lose a phone number tied to a password!
We need some way to be secure without recurring bills. e.g. using Firefox instead of IE was free at least.
In the good old days games used to misspell that word, and we didn't care, the game was fun. It was hard enough so that not ever seeing the end screen was a possibility, and was common. Now every game gives you infinite lives, retry from a very nearby position, hints, cover, going around the bad guy in 3D space - here is a scary guy with a machette but you run around or jump on a meter-high wall and he can't get you.
RAM in a box would be expensive and slow. Let's say you have a 40 Gbps interface or even a 100 Gbps one to connect it, then the bandwith would be mediocre and the latency worse still. You can put a really fast SSD on there though or non-volatile memory that is sort of half-way between RAM and SSD, such as 3D XPoint.
The idea is likely to replace the entire CPU + RAM box. Not far-fetched given all the mobile and embedded stuff that has RAM permanently attached in one way or another. See HBM memory (on graphics cards for now) for the probable future of high performance combined CPU + GPU. Of course you have to pay attention and not get ripped off with a 2GB or 4GB device (*gasp* 4GB Mac) while you intended your thing to be awesome and modern.
What about a linux game that ships with compatibility libraries for Windows:). We could even inflict things like a version of Pulseaudio on Windows. Linux users who can't run the linux version on linux will be able to try to run that mess in Wine.
For all we know it's yet another general that has retired and since South Koreans have noticed he's not around anymore, here is a canned news story that he was executed. The guy will spend the next 20 years with his wife, somewhere far enough from the camera field. Sometimes you can just fire somebody, rather than fire anti-tank rounds at somebody.
News story : Apple spies report that Microsoft had Steve Ballmer executed.
Microsoft has had a very advanced graphics stack since Vista, improving with each little Windows version. I am pretty sure color management is part of it (now, how the f... can you get font anti-aliasing WITHOUT Cleartype? I don't know)
It also showed that the gravitational wave detector is actually good for something. Till then I assumed LIGO would not detect anything in its whole service life. Now a newer detector is sort of guaranteed to not be useless either.
In that case it's same cache, same CPU, same everything, the one big difference is ECC is disabled on core i7, enabled on Xeon E3 (funnily ECC is enabled on Pentium, i3 and even the new desktop Celeron)
Sure, for example while I'm arguing the rocket is not an ICBM it is still an unsubtle means to acquire flight and engineering experience with a multi-stage rocket.

Look up nvidia Denver, it is a wide CPU that is said to do that sort of things.

The RAM doesn't have to be refreshed if it is SRAM, although it still needs power.
I believe people still value 500GB or 1TB storage in a laptop instead of 32GB or 256GB.

I am not fundamentally opposed to it.

Now who's the retard?
a lot of stacking in there too : Sega CD, Megadrive, 32X, Action Replay, Sonic and Knuckles, earlier Sonic game..
