You're neutralizing 98% of HIV strains, not eliminating it in 98% of patients. You might be eliminating HIV in 99.999% of patients or 1% of patients, depending upon how prevalent the 2% of HIV strains (at least 1 strain) are.
People with higher education tends to get kids a bit later and with their kid trying PhD studies and changing field I think it is pretty safe to guess that he is old enough to think about what to do when he retires.
It's still never to late. Maybe do something interesting while "retired", and this would fit the bill.
Yeah, it consumes less power, but it looks terrible. Starts out dimmer than LCD, gets dimmer with age, color balance starts feeling off subpar, gets terrible with age, always looks bad outdoors, burn-in prone, etc.
OLED, at least recent screens, are far superior to LCD in a number of areas, including brightness, color balance and gamut, and especially viewing in the dark and in bright light areas. If you move to TV technology, the worst tech in the last 40 years has been LCD screens. The motion blur, lack of color depth and lack of gradient abilities are what keep bothering the crap out of me, and that includes even the newest LCD based TVs.
It also feels like the colors "bleed" more in LED, although that could just be my perception.
Actually, that's the gradient effect, something highly desirable in a screen over the LCD square pixel edge to edge single color capability that gives rise to that aforementioned blockiness and color banding, which just don't exist in nature. A little color edge bleed between pixels allows for a natural gradient to occur, mimicking real life color gradients. This is, of course, discussing things like photos and movies. Note that most phone screens today have a high enough pixel density that unless your eyes are good, you won't notice any significant bleed unless its a defective screen. TVs, OTOH, are a different story.
I once went around to my coworkers and compared my Z2 (LCD) to their cell phones of roughly the same age and resolution and there was no comparison, the Z2 looked way better
I have no idea what a Z2 looks like, nor what phones you compared to, but a good LCD screen can look better than a crappy OLED screen. Quality of components matters and one well implemented technology can exceed an inherently better but poorly implemented technology. Quality OLED screens have only really started coming out in the last year or two, so aging is something that you could only start to really look at in the next couple of years, IMHO.
Now I dont put my 7plus in a pocket at all. a holster or in a jacket inside pocket. no pants pockets ever
I tend not to put stress prone flaming things in my pocket when I sit down or do anything else that would tend to flex said object, inducing stress and the potential for flaming pockets. I always cringe when I see someone with a phone in their back pocket as they climb into a car. I can only imagine that sooner or later one or more of those will burst into flames, especially if they are anything with "S7" in the name.
The GP is an idiot. The DNC decided that come hell or high water, they were going to have Hillary elected. What's likely true and sad is they could have picked virtually anyone else, even a moderate Republican like Kasich or even Rubio, and had a cake walk into a win. Even with Hillary's baggage, it took the Republicans and Comey combined to throw the election. Yes, throw it, just look at the huge shift in the polls 11 days prior to the election. And she still won the popular vote in spite of that.
My hope is that we do unify, at least the moderate portions of the Republican congress, those small parts that are left, with the Democrats, and at least check Trump's actions. Because come Jan 20 (wait, would that be the 28th?) the direction of this country is going to be somewhat chaotic.
well, I'm not sure what your point is, honestly. That when you run with CPU/GPU pegged, that it gets hot? So does every other laptop I've ever used. The point was when you're doing "normal" workloads, that it runs relatively cool and silent. I can even get mine to run cool, albeit at about 35% rendering speed, with video processing running, but that's the trade-off: more speed, more heat. I had an Alienware gaming laptop a couple of years ago and can tell you that you wouldn't want it on your lap unless you were in Siberia, in early January, even when you were just reading email. Not to mention it weighed a ton and had shitty battery life to top it off.
It certainly implies that existed, and that the software was specifically designed with a particular licensing model in mind. I too haven't read the actual license, but you can find them here and elsewhere in their website. Granted, those licenses may have changed since 2012, unfortunately I misplaced my Tardis.
Second life has a fair few issues, but I can reproduce this with anything that pushes CPU and GPU load and the only thing realistically would happen with "better programming" is reduce the use of singletons that block renderering on the GPU and CPU which would increase the loads further.
Let me rephrase it - if it's in the background (not on a second monitor where the window is in the foreground) perhaps it no longer needs to run the GUI? I don't run Second Life as it wasn't something I was interested in, but it seems to me that regardless of what it's doing, it could be doing it much more efficiently as I've run other games that appear to be much more demanding without having those issues while in the background. Handbrake in the background, yes, peg the CPUs. I'm interested in getting my video processed. Second Life in the background, what's it doing that it needs to suck up that much CPU/GPU cycles?
why would it need that many resources in the background to draw that much power?
Because a lot of user generated content on Second life has a heavy reliance on alphas which is CPU bound, there is no way around that. I should also point out that this is not an issue on PC laptops typically and the same issue exists on Macs regardless of what operating system they're running.
If it's in the background, a whole lot of things don't need to happen. I'll repeat that Second Life appears to be poorly coded, at least as far as their mac code goes.
Many people don't understand that apple sacrifices graphics performance for better battery life and cooler and more silent machines.
Which is necessary when my Mac's keyboard is too hot touch when just running Second life in the background and sounds like a hovercraft is about to take off.
Sounds like Second Life is poorly programmed, why would it need that many resources in the background to draw that much power?
There's an entire segment of computer users that work in imagery and modeling that certainly benefit from better GPUs, and need them when they go on the road. When at home, they can have a multi-monitor setup. Is this so hard to comprehend, or are you that far from a working class computer system?
Yep, and if you want pro GPU performance by your metrics, buy the top end 15" MBP with the 460 based mobile GPU, which comes in at about 90% of the speed of a desktop RX460. Yes, nVidia is faster, but I'm not sure you can call any of those 10x0 nvidia based systems "laptops" anymore, at least not without some sort of heat shield attached.
I remember a tank game that had a printed page of tank silhouettes that was dark red on black so as to make it impossible to photocopy. (This was back when Photoshop didn't exist and scanners were $2000 or more.) I called the company and told them I was visually impaired and they mailed me a black-and-white copy of the page, which was promptly photocopied and distributed.
I recall a few of those myself, although I can't recall a single one today. The laser burned hole was quite effective since a damaged unreadable sector returned a different error code than anything you could write to disk. The answer was to hex edit the check in the code so it always returned true. Probably the hex edit required to skip the tank matching questions.
I don't see the problem with IMDB requiring a paid subscription to their service to remove the age from a person listed.
Address information is less likely to be prejudicial than the age of an actor, hence requiring payment to remove an actor's age, while possibly legal on free speech grounds, still has the scent of extortion.
This has nothing to do with extortion - an actor can't control their bio without a subscription. It's as simple as that. It's not pay to remove age information, it's pay to control all your information. Another key here is that IMDB doesn't do anything other than give you control of your info, likely after confirming it's really you via the payment system.
OSes that ran on top of basic interpreters would have come AFTER the ROM IC loaded computers, way way after actually, as the early ROM IC loaded computers didn't have the capacity to run BASIC.
But the rest is well described, the earliest computers used vacuum tubes and used punch cards for memory. Now there's some hacking you could accomplish!
You do realize all those powers et al were given to a Republican president (W) by a Republican Congress under what's probably one of the worst laws passed by any Congress.

which actually isn't true, based on the direct court case filing also linked one level down, where Bitmanagement Software removed it's tracking and licensing software in preparation for a wide scale rollout, possibly for validating that it would be possible?

That's because macbooks are piles of shit that places more emphasis on looks rather than performance.
And yet everyone is chasing macbooks in feature sets. Just jealous, I guess.
5K is better for computers, offers simple scaling from 2K displays.
AC, for a reason I guess, like perhaps we'd label him a trolling idiot on multiple fronts: Apple is calling the new screen a “Retina 5K display,” and says it's the world's highest resolution computer screen at 5120-by-2880 pixels. (Dell might argue that it shares that crown, but its display won't actually ship until the fourth quarter.) At 217 pixels per inch, the pixel density is just a smidge lower than that of Apple's MacBook Pro with Retina Display, though it's safe to assume most users would keep the iMac screen further away than a laptop.
Yeah, that $10K mac pro just isn't cut out to do much more than browse /.
It only takes one capable person annoyed enough with the hoops to go find a way around them. Once found, replication is easy.
I'm shocked that they cleared such a high hurdle!
