I've read articles by the guy running the site for nearly a decade now. Perhaps someone injected malware into an ad or whatever and he did not notice it yet because it is Xmas but he does not host malware. If you don't want to don't click on it now, he'll probably clean it up in a day or two.
Android applications are bytecode compiled and run on a Dalvik VM. So binary translation isn't as much of a problem. Unless the application uses native code. Which is probably going to be the case for games etc. Doh.
One of the supposed major global warming gases considered to be the big meanie is CO2. Well CO2 is plant food. If you increase CO2 atmospheric composition you will get algal blooms and increased plant growth which will counter the CO2 increase. Water vapor has even more of a global warming effect yet it gets ignored for rather obvious reasons. Our global water vapor output is insignificant compared to ocean water evaporation plus water vapor gets precipitated out of the atmosphere as rainfall.
AGW believers just cannot accept the irrelevance of human activities in the planet compared to natural effects.
GCC is in version 4.7.2. I have a set of FP heavy code which runs faster in GCC with '-Ofast -march=native' than Clang with all the optimizations turned on. This also seems to be the case for everyone else I know using X86. I have no idea how the performance in ARM is like.
Actually I think Google is getting bitten by their choice to use the Apache license for most of their Android software. It started with Amazon and Baidu developing their own OS and giving none of the code back and it is going to get worse before they realize the damage and re-license.
They have been catching up quite quickly. Most of their issues are not in manufacturing but in chip design. They simply did not have in-house designs for all the additional functionality you can find on your average ARM SoC. They also did not have any low power CPU designs which they could manufacture. Their solution was quite simple: you pick up a 1990s Pentium processor design and port it to a modern manufacturing process. The result was a chip with more performance and about the same power consumption as the top notch ARM CPU core designs.
Considering that Samsung was selling cellphones before Apple I think it is rather disingenuous to assume they would stop doing so just because Apple is paying them a pittance to manufacture chips and other components. Apple just screwed themselves for the next 2 years because they can't accept having any competition at all.
IBM, GlobalFoundries (formerly AMD and Chartered), Samsung have an agreement to share semiconductor manufacturing R&D. So their manufacturing processes are supposed to be similar.
Actually I am not right wing and I am still not convinced that man action has any significant effect on global temperatures. It just does not pass the smell test sorry. Compared with the energy output of the Sun which reaches the Earth our own energy consumption is insignificant.
This is done in ray-tracing since at least the 70s where you stop recursively tracing rays once the light contribution from the resulting spawned rays is considered not to provide any meaningful contribution to the final output. Like other people have said it could have simply been that no one considered it to be patenteable material and it was done behind the scenes in many pieces of software already. It is certainly not non-obvious.
SpaceX seems to be moving quite quickly. Plus you forget how protracted the F-22 development was and that was in Ada. If you keep piling on more and more requirements after the work started of course the project is going to be late.

Yeah. It's like they added this feature to their product. Rather than Microsoft who claims they 'innovate' everything they do.
I don't know about you but I don't like to pay for stuff that magically evaporates.

Chromium is throwing hissy fits as usual. It's a well known tech gossip site. Perhaps some ads had malware but the site is not a malware site.

There you have it a 1.5 mW-445 mW superscalar X86 processor.

There are other examples like advanced lithography or other machine tools.
More like 4.39x. But your point still stands.
1) A lot of that US land area is Alaska.
2) Population is more relevant to GDP as Japan can amply demonstrate.
Wozniak's still alive and didn't need to rip off someone else's liver.
Clang is faster at producing slow code.
It's arguable most of the uses for it should be in the standard language implementation to begin with.
Heck you could replace everything: grep, awk, sed with perl. That guy is just being stupid.

Try developing a cross-platform C++ application and we will see if you start agreeing with RMS or not.

Bollocks. Apple was not willing to negotiate licensing terms. Neither did they want to pay the market price for Samsung's own patents.

What? Mount St. Helens, Mount Pinatubo, never heard of those volcanic eruptions? Surely you jest.
