It's the reason GE isn't selling their Fort Wayne plant. It used to be where they made a ton of stuff. But the ground there is so toxic no one would ever buy it and GE doesn't want to clean it up. So they're just sitting on it and paying the property taxes.
And who provides all of these magical OSS drivers? Because at the end of the day my nVidia HTPC plays 1080P movies no problem and my AMD rig does nothing. (Well, I put an nvidia card in it now).
Nvidia takes the money that I give them and makes drivers, binary, closed source, what ever. But drivers. AMD takes the money I give them. squanders it and then goes "Hey, hey, look. Here's all the documentation for everything! You may not have a working machine, but you got all the documentation!"
Same here. I'm still cranking away on an old Nvidia card. Meanwhile the ATI card I bought 2 years ago was dropped in a recent update.
Nvidia makes cards that work. And software to go with those cards. Anytime someone wants to build a HTPC I always suggest Nvidia, because their VDPAU drivers *work*.
I love my Asus Transformer. My other primary laptop is my work Dell 17". Anytime I'm flying or going to see family I usually leave the work laptop. The tablet does 90% of what I need it to.
And I even have a chroot of Debian on an SD card. So if I ever do need a full blown linux (PHP, lighttpd, etc) i can just run that.
If only there was a distro that separated stuff into stable, testing and unstable taxonomies. You could even have a cutting edge experimental branch that could possibly break everything.
Sickbeard is the "DVR" app that cable companies should have released. I would have even paid for it. Web accessable. I log in. I type in a show. Say I want it. Tada. Shows magically appear on my hard drive.
I can put them on my phone, my tablet my laptop. XBMC indexes them they're available on my TV and projector.
Except the TI-89 could be made faster and the whole thing could probably be a SoC at this point. You could get more battery life out of it. It could solve harder integrals but still be relatively the same product.
One semester I used it for my homework. Lots of.tex and.m files. I could do a problem, commit. Push go to a completely separate computer, pull and continue working.
And as much as I 'hate' the new Windows interface it's really not that different from 2000. The Start Menu is a mess but as far as everything else in the GUI, it's still 90% of where it was 10 years ago.
But you have to use that power wisely. If you start sending 10 tweets a day it's not like that number magically goes up by 10x. It means that people unsubscribe or they get fed up with reading all your crap. Which is about where I'm at with facebook. Sure, put some targeted ads in there. But if every time I go to the mobile app I have to scroll through 2 pages of companies my friends liked or another Samsung Galaxy ad. I'm going to stop using it.
It's starting to turn me off. Somewhere in the scheme of things it decided that I was a smart and wealthy individual and must want the new Samsung S3. There is a massive banner ad on my facebook page and all over the android app.
No. I don't care about the fucking S3. Move on. Now it's starting to show me that my 'acquaintances'' liked Walmart or Levi. Wouldn't I like to like them too?
No. Sweet Jesus. It's turning me off where I'm ready to move my stuff. Problem is I'm an amateur photographer. I have close to 20,000 photos tagged and sorted in facebook, all with comments. But if this keeps up I'll take my business elsewhere.
Say offense defense is evenly split. So 5.5 min each.
Now people that are on the line (essentially the pack in the scrum, hope you know Rugby as I'll do it from that perspective), they're ALWAYS active, maybe not the last few seconds of a play. So lets say they do 4.5 minutes of work a game.
Quarter back is probably also about that involved. So lets say 4.5 minutes for him too. Now all the other positions. About the same as in Rugby. How often does a wing get the ball? So I'd say the running backs, and receivers may actually 'do work' for 4-5 minutes. But most of that work is 'uncontested'. So they're just sprinting down the field as fast as they can. So in 10 second increments.
And then there is the kicker. He may probably spend a total of 30 seconds doing something for a whole game.
Everything about my motherboard should be perfectly fine in todays world except that ATI dropped support in the linux drivers. So no more hardware acceleration.
(Meanwhile my GT220 from ages ago still gets support and that's why I stick with Nvidia on Linux side).
Slashdot Mirror
kg is a unit of mass.
Newton is a unit of weight.
and that relationship only holds true on the surface of Earth.
I'd say 50% of people in the US buy their soda/pop/coke in 2L bottles. (Or 3L bottles if you go to the discount stores.)
It sounds like the engineers that designed it suck at building in hysteresis.

Fails on LMDE.

I programmed my TI-89 into a mini version of SAS/MiniTab. Trying to figure out how to do that in TI-BASIC definitely made me learn the material.
That's why you have an indexing service like nzbmatrix and nzb files. You never actually usenet itself.
$10- 3 years ago. Definitely the best. I wonder what this means for sickbeard and the like.

I want to see Spaceward Ho! Updated. I see it's on the iTunes store. Some of these turn based stuff would make excellent tablet games.
"Industrial strength lock"? I think not
I've played with bump keys enough times to be able to unlock any door into my house in under a second or two.
And as much as I 'hate' the new Windows interface it's really not that different from 2000. The Start Menu is a mess but as far as everything else in the GUI, it's still 90% of where it was 10 years ago.
Which means if you actually ordered 4 weeks ago you'd have it by now.
'There was once a CPU so popular that no one ever ordered it any more'.
It's not the images that are most valuable (I have copies of those). It's the meta data of people that are tagged. Etc.

And for this they get a few million a year.
Actually. American Football games have just 11 minutes of action
Actually no. ATI just dropped support for my card in my motherboard that I bought in early 2011.
Everything about my motherboard should be perfectly fine in todays world except that ATI dropped support in the linux drivers. So no more hardware acceleration.
