Well I'm sure Nvidia could have named it after scientists named Smith, Jones, Doe, Smith (a different one), and Johnson, but those names aren't very exciting.
He told me that it has a 'chip' that makes it produce 900HP. He used to have a 1000HP chip, but his grandfather saw him spinning his tires, so he told him to take it out. The truck was a rusty, 20-year-old Dodge, with a V8 that produces about 240HP from the factory.
The engine produces 240HP. He has 4 wheels (or more specifically, 4 sets of brakes) That's 960 brake horsepower! You just didn't understand how these technical specs are measured.
I would imagine the difference here is that Apple didn't have to unlock anything, decrypt anything, or write utilities to bypass existing protections to look up an email or IP addresses for a iTunes transaction.
Assange was probably just taking time to review the material and figure out how to release it.
Why would he need to review it to know how to release it? If you're ultimately going to dump the data, just dump it and let the people read it for themselves. Don't pre-filter it or spin it one way or another.
So you feel that you have the right to judge the value of someone's life as inferior to your because he has more money than you and spent it to create something he wanted?
I feel I have just as much right to do so as you do judging me. It's an opinion. There's no right or wrong.
Nvidia uses scientists names for their products: Tesla, Fermi, Kepler, Maxwell, Pascal and Volta (next version after Pascal).
If the leading edge of "consumer" graphic cards is of any interest to someone, they'd know what Pascal was since it's been announced now for over 2 years.
While I don't agree with such logic, I at least understand how they are trying to use that definition. But putting a limit where you will get cut off with canceled service by definition is not unlimited, no matter how you try to spin it.
I don't have a recreated $1.5m Star Trek bridge-themed home theater, so I'd say even in a one bedroom efficiency eating ramen I'm still better off in life.
When I go to Amazon to perhaps purchase something, I go there to buy from Amazon, not some unknown third party. I wish there was an option to disable the entire marketplace listings for my account. If there was such an option, I might shop there more

Corning could test samples in batches of 5 sheets. One test, 4 of the samples did not break, 1 did. 80% survival rate as you said you'd expect. Other batches of 5 sheets, all samples broke at a rate less than 80%. As long as all 5 tests don't survive, Corning gets to say that it survives "up to 80%" since it never survived 5 of 5. Weasel words like "up to" are wonderful for marketing.
There is a non-zero cost for maintaining supported legacy devices. Training, validation with new components, firmware, etc. I'm not saying that the fee is justified. Most of that should just come along with operating a business and be included as part of your normal fee. But you can't say that it just doesn't cost Verizon money to keep legacy hardware on the supported component list.
Don't want to pay the fee, tell Verizon you purchased your own router.
Or even better, how about they do both? Try to close up any holes, bugs, or other vectors that malware may attack from. But also have protection in place for when a vulnerability is discovered, because one will. And when it does, be alerted to it and take appropriate measures before you continue to use a compromised phone.
So basically they've built a purpose built dragster and not a real car.
No. They took a real 1970s electric vehicle, replaced the major parts that make it go with modern equipment, and took it to a dragstrip. It's the electric equivalent of hot rods, muscle cars, tuners, or whatever generation you choose souping up a vehicle beyond what it could do from the factory.
The real difference is in the operating environment and Apple's being closed makes no difference to an institution that doesn't even want users to be mucking about with random apps downloaded from dodgy sites.
I'm presuming the military is intelligent to lock down the device to restrict what gets installed on it. At that point, it doesn't really matter if it's open or closed.
I wasn't literally meaning bulletproof and able to drive a tank over it. I was meaning I want something more durable then the latest ultralight phone. What works good for the guy in the office doesn't for the guy in the field. Adding a bit more weight and a bit thicker probably isn't going to be noticed by the guy carrying a 60 pound backpack. A specialty designed extra-rugged phone frame rather than an iPhone 6S might actually make a difference in the field.
Build quality, durability, and reliability is key, speed is a nice perk too. Samsung does okay, but Apple still has these features dialed in.
Honestly, is there really THAT much difference in build quality, durability, or reliability between any of the flagship phones, regardless of OS?
I'm actually kind of surprised that they're using any type of modern COTS phone. All the things that makes one great for consumer use, lighter, thinner, giant screens I'd think would be to a detriment in the field. I want something compact, literally bulletproof, and that you can drive a tank over.
I have seen AFM images of xenon atoms spelling out IBM on a graphite sheet as old as the 90s.
It was 1989 on nickle, but close enough. There's a difference though between what IBM did and what these researchers did. The IBM wasn't a precisely positioned repeating layout that could be repeatedly manipulated in a predictable manner.
No it's not a monumental leap in storage technology from what's previously been demonstrated or discussed. But I haven't seen too many other functioning atomic "hard drives" in the past 27 years either so maybe a small step towards that direction isn't a horrible thing.

It didn't crash multiple times during the installation like Windows 10 did for my 5 year old Intel mobo PC.
I've always wanted to have heated tile floors in the winter.
If you quit, do you still get your golden parachute? Or is that only available if you're forced out?

No, I think I'm better off because I haven't blown $1.5m creating a Star Trek play room, regardless if that's a life savings or couch change.
This is a case when you can only enjoy the show after the show is concluded and you know how everything turns out.
While I don't agree with such logic, I at least understand how they are trying to use that definition. But putting a limit where you will get cut off with canceled service by definition is not unlimited, no matter how you try to spin it.

I have less optimistic expectations.

No, I think that's pretty much the definition of rape, specifically statutory rape.

Isn't on the battlefield a little late to be reading weapons and ammunition guides?

Well, the homepage explicitly states 'No Flash, no Java, no goddam rollovers."
They figured out how to power things with that Freevolt RF harvesting thing?
