You are wrong. It can be done in real-time in current hardware even if you only use the CPU. There will be tradeoffs involved like adaptive supersampling, pinhole cameras, simplified lighting models, but it can be done.
The US never actually fought the Soviet Union directly. The closest they came to blows was in the Korean War and that was not a particularly happy event for either power.
As screen resolution and bandwidth increased the web functionality would become more pervasive. Windows Mobile phones already existed and had browsers. Even so called dumb phones usually had WAP browsers.
Samsung sold tablet computers before Apple. The hardware did not get to the point to manufacture a low weight tablet overnight. If you actually cared to look at the news during the time a lot of people were working on tablets and had functional prototypes before the iPad was announced.
There are people living in both of those cities today and the war was not 10000 years ago which you keep hearing bandied about as how long you need to clear a radioactive area. Besides the levels of radioactivity are completely different. Any nuclear power plant meltdown is going to produce much less radiation than a nuclear weapon explosion.
For all their much vaunted backwards compatibility or large collection of apps the reality is that either the app developer keeps updating their app or it breaks. That was what happened with Stanza. It was probably a mere coincidence that it broke around the time iBooks was released.
Try not buying a graphics card which was released this week or something and you will probably be fine. First time I did an install on my current computer there were no problems detecting anything. The situation has gotten better recently since most hardware comes integrated with the chipset or the CPU and those are typically very well supported. Considering how Apple sources their components it is hardly surprising there are issues running Linux in a Mac.
Some of us don't disclose our identity because we want to stick to the facts and have little attachment to our own personal backgrounds. Of course they do surface on occasion. We are made of the sum of our personal experiences.
To me this was an obvious trap. The fact that the UK government was willing to take such extreme measures just adds more credibility to what a lot of us already suspected. They are going out of their way to arrest a citizen of the Commonwealth for questioning on something committed in Sweden on dubious charges. There are plenty of people living in the UK presently shielded from extradition to countries in the EU connected to much more serious crimes than this including suspected murder.
Ecuador does not need to cave nor to go to war. They just need to call the UK on their bluff. If they actually do something like this the consequences will not come just from Ecuador.
Yeah sure one or two in isolation I have seen them around. However not like I saw in the US where the main streets were packed with them. They weren't violent or disturbing the peace but still it was a degrading spectacle. One would expect society to support those people better. It wasn't even in one of the main US cities.
I try to compile my C++ code with clang every single time a new Ubuntu release is launched. Clang is consistently much slower than GCC for me. Sure it compiles quickly with color messages, but the resulting code is slow as heck.
The best implementation of exceptions I have seen is the one in Python. Exception just work. In Java you have to keep writing more and more handling code and the compiler squeals if you don't catch every single little dinky exception. In C++ the exception handling code often causes a SIGSEGV and you wonder what the heck happened in the first place. At least with C you know you don't have exceptions.
Boost has no concept of modularity. Try to distribute just a piece of it. It also gets regularly broken by compiler changes because they like to use bleeding edge constructs. Plus some of the functions are slow as heck because it can contain no assembly. Whereas say memcpy in the C standard library is usually optimized with assembly code. Try reading the includes in Linux for example.
Actually the exceptions that allow you to build non-GPL programs aren't necessary. Otherwise all art you produce with GIMP or text you write with Emacs would be GPLed as well. Stallman just added them to stop the FUD against GCC.
I thought Adobe had bought Macromedia specifically to kill of Flash and their web tools division. Then they announced new Flash versions and I thought they had backpedaled on the subject. Maybe not.
The first time I saw beggars crowding the streets in the middle of the night burning garbage to heat themselves was when I was in the US. Heck I have been to Southern Europe and Eastern Europe and I never saw anything like it.
Most of the money you will spend is not in gadgets but in food, clothing, etc. Also the prices for computer hardware in Germany are low compared to the EU average.

Steve Jobs wasn't at Apple back then.
The problem is that if you hit the wall you lose all the energy in the plasma as it is used to melt it away.

They also distributed iodine tablets to the general population. That takes some serious stockpiling and preventive efforts.
I guess you never heard of radon gas.

Or was it?
The Saturn V was not a repurposed ICBM. It was specifically designed for space launch.
AFAIK it was a Spanish judge who wanted to extradite Pinochet for ordering the murder of Spanish citizens in Chile. Spain is an EU country.

They can and the people from the embassy are supposed to withdraw from the country. Not get arrested.

You also have the Muslim Brotherhood in control of Egypt. These Arab 'Green Revolutions' are utter crap.
