Well it's actually Intel's fault for only supporting LPDDR3 instead of LPDDR4 in Skylake. They choose to do this because LPDDR4 memory is more expensive, and from this article, http://www.fool.com/investing/... it says that an increased cost of RAM would result in one of the following:
1. PC vendors will cut corners elsewhere to accommodate the more expensive memory within a fixed price point, potentially hurting the user experience. 2. PC vendors will raise prices, which could lead to lower sales and thus reduced processor sales for Intel. 3. PC vendors' margins will contract.
Which Intel didn't want to do. That combined with the delays for the release of Skylake and its successor Cannonlake (which does support LPDDR4) leave us with the current situation.
How does this study not suffer from self selection bias? I looked at the study but didn't find the answer. Presumably they would have addressed this given that it is peer reviewed.
The maximum size is 100 ml, which coincidentally is the european standard toothpaste tube volume. So really in this respect the TSA is being un-American by not using fluid ounces.
Let's see: Patent number: 5482209 Filing date: Jun 1, 1994 Issue date: Jan 9, 1996
So patents filed before June 2005 the patent term is the longer of 20 years from the filing date or 17 years from the issue date. Check. Expiration is Jan 9, 2014, based on 20 years from the filing date.
Let the Lawsuit drag on for two years until the patent expires, so as long as they don't get an injunction they will just pay some damages and presumably be on their way.
Without a continuously active protection mechanism excess energy will destroy the light harvesting molecules due to photo-oxidative damage. So you might have to continually repaint your roof which could get quite expensive and be labor intensive.
Maybe it is phased or ignored out because the majority of today's commercial butter does not usually come from grass fed cows... corn fed cows produce white butter.
Yes, any 32 bit app can access 4 GB of RAM. If you want to access to over 4 GB then you will have to be running leopard and the app will have to be compiled as a 64 bit app.
I used git for about three weeks at work, importing the entire SVN repository at work into git. It was pretty nice having the entire repository history on my local machine, and I was able to do cool stuff like running a blame on the entire repository and finding out who was responsible for what percentage of the code base -- and running this was pretty fast (it would have taken forever on a traditional source code control system like subversion).
I used the git-svn bridge, which allows you to use a subversion repository to sync into your local git repository, so that everyone else can use subversion while you use git and merge back and forth. This worked really well, and merging things was extremely easy, like Linus says.
Unfortunately the biggest problem with git, at least for a group with a fairly structured development process (i.e., everyone commits into the same main repository) is that git has no sense of a timeline. Well, actually, it does, but you have to use this GUI tool to view where branch merges and such happen so you can figure out what hash to pass in when you want to check out a specific associated subversion revision number. Part of the advantage of subversion is that the revision numbers increment, and it's easy to tell if you have a file that is from an older revision along with some other directories checked out from a newer revision. Another advantage is that it's a lot easier to type in a revision number (which is usually some five or six digit number) than a SHA-1 hash. For example if a bug happens in revision 56384, I can tell a coworker to update to 56384, and that's easy. This is a lot easier than yelling across the hallway, "it's in 832e76a9899f560a90ffd62ae2ce83bbeff58f54." This would require an IM or an e-mail at the least.
In general I think a lot of projects have a timeline where code develops and becomes better and more complex, and most developers want to have the latest source. In these situations git is just very difficult to deal with, because it is not really designed with this idea in mind.
Why do they need to change the shape of the mirror? Why can't they just correct the problem using DSP after the fact? Presumably if you know how the atmosphere distorts while taking the image, you can apply the inverse kernel later on...
While this is true (and I can type dvorak ~45 wpm, qwerty 100+ wpm), the command line is extremely painful to use with dvorak. Simple commands like "ls", which are two handed commands on a quwery keyboard, all of a sudden become one handed pinky pressing nonsense... I love dvorak, but there are too many command line program names, keyboard shortcuts, etc., designed for qwerty users.
The literal interpretation of the constitution is not in fact what law is about. According to Steven Breyer's book (he is a supreme court justice), historical context and intent must be taken into account when interpreting any piece of law. This requires historical research to determine the true intent of the authors of a given piece of law (which is something lawyers study). Now I'm not saying that you're incorrect in your statement, but the fact of the matter is that what the bill of rights says literally is not necessarily what would be interpreted as the intent or meaning of the law. Of course any piece of writing can be interpreted in many ways (obviously, since this is what some of the more extreme religious people do in order to justify violence, etc.), however in order to understand the true meaning of something written many years ago requires a great deal of research and historical context. In general this is a problem for any given group of people that derive truth from a piece of text, since any statement taken outside of its context can be misinterpreted.
Pretty much everything is a polarizing issue, because everyone has their own opinions about things. The question you have to ask yourself is 1) is what you care about under risk of changing and 2) does the specific issue you care about matter more to you than anything else.
Other than that, the second amendment does not clearly state that private gun ownership is a guaranteed right. There is much debate about what rights the specific amendment protects (and whether gun ownership guarantees are restricted only to militia purposes or otherwise). In any case, this is a decision for the courts to decide (probably the supreme court) -- or for congress to decide, if there is overwhelming support to change the bill of rights. This is not really something the president has the authority to change.
So really the root of the problem with most people's calculations are that they assume that watching one show means watching four episodes of that show every single week of the year. This is vastly inaccurate -- shows go on hiatus during the holidays, and shows only have a limited number of episodes per season. So really to do the proper calculation, you need to look at what it will cost you per year. If you get a season pass to your two shows, it will cost you probably $70 to $90 or so depending on the shows. If you can get basic cable for $20/month (and normally it's at least $30), you're saving yourself at least $150/year. So unless you watch seven shows or more, it's probably cheaper to buy them off of iTunes. This of course assumes you don't just watch random tv episodes from random shows all of the time, which of course you couldn't do without paying on iTunes.
You might want to redo your calculation -- as a subscriber to The Daily Show through iTunes, it only costs me $9.99 for a 16 episode subscription. That's a substantial discount for the $32 that it would cost to buy each of these episodes individually.
The problem that you would have is that HBO shows aren't available through iTunes, so you would have to wait for the DVD on three of your shows (by the way, at least for Rome, it's only 12 hours per year -- 12 episodes that air for an hour each).
But at least for your other shows, BSG is $34.99, The Office $34.99, assuming 48 weeks that Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert are airing shows, $119.88 + $119.88 per year, that's $309.74 for half of the shows you watch through iTunes. So yes, unfortunately you can't switch because of HBO non-availability of shows, however if they ever made their shows available -- even if you assumed they would charge $50 per season for each of their shows, you would still only come out to $459.74 for the shows you watch. That would mean that you would be saving $260.26 a year.
In fact, if you pay for a season subscription to a specific iTunes show, the price drops even more than $1.99 -- Grey's Anatomy is $34.99 for the entire season, and if this season has 27 episodes like season two had, that's $1.30/episode. 24 is $44.99 for an entire season, or $1.88/episode.

You will be able to install drivers from ATI and NVidia that will bring full OpenGL support to windows. OpenGL will be a first class citizen, with OpenGL rendered windows being fully composited in the aero glass experience. This was demoed at siggraph 2006, and appeared to function quite normally and well with the rest of Vista.
Nowadays most OpenGL apps do picking geometrically. It's true that using gl's selection mode does work, but this is not hardware accelerated and therefor avoided in most applications. There is a way to do accelerated picking using FBOs (framebuffer objects, or aka render to texture), by assigning each object a unique color, rendering to the FBO with a pick matrix, and then reading the color value out of the FBO, but as far as I know, this is only of limited usefulness since most OpenGL apps have access to the geometry data anyway (since they use various APIs to DMA the vertex data to the graphics card, rather than using functions such as glVertex).
But then in that case, really SOX compliance should be paid out of public tax dollars, perhaps capital gains tax, since it's something to protect the shareholders. Otherwise businesses will pass their costs on to their customers, when really maybe it should be the shareholders that should be paying.
Actually, it may be against FCC regulations because the 802.11b band sits partially in a ham band. Ham radio is the primary user of the band, and thus home users have to accept any sort of interference created by both other home users and ham radio users. Additionally, if home users cause noticeable interference to a primary user (in this case licensed ham radio operators), the primary user can complain to the FCC, and you could be required by the FCC to discontinue use of your equipment. Only three out of the 14 channels in 802.11b do not overlap a ham band. In fact, if you're a licensed ham radio operator operating your 802.11b equipment within the necessary FCC regulations (broadcasting callsign, etc.), it could be argued that you have the right to primary usage and other 802.11b operators will have to change channels or discontinue use of their equipment if they provide interference to you.
This one caused many hours of annoyance when some of my hardware stopped working. Apparrently you now have to pass no-apic as a boot argument now, if your computer has problems with apic (supposedly there was some fix in linux that meant people no longer had to have no-apic on, but not in my case with my MSI motherboard). Hopefully this hint saves at least one other poor soul from some hours of trying to figure out why their ethernet card no longer works properly (the driver loads, the interface appears, but the device doesn't actually work).
The best thing to do with photoshop is to take the image into ImageReady and then adjust the jpeg compression in specific areas using the jpeg compression mask feature. You can define which areas should be compressed more using grey values in the mask.
