False dichotomy. Because we advance one doesn't imply we're not advancing the other. And there will always be a range of image qualities to satisfy a range of budgets.
Many, many people run multiple monitor setups now, so we don't want WIDER monitors. We want TALLER monitors. I'd much rather haeve a 4:3 monitor at 2560xY so I could use 3 of them side by side without having to turn as much.
What's the point of 4K at 20"? 1080p at 20" at a 32" seating distance is already to the point where a human eye couldn't discern an individual pixel. 4K at 20" would require you to be closer than 16" to see an individual pixel, and no one sits that close to a desktop monitor. More like 24-30 inches.
I'm actually in the market to replace my existing monitors (2xDell 2408WFP) with new monitors. I'm currently considering 3x27" 2560x1440 LED IPS monitors (Dell U2713HM or LG 27EA83-D are the top 2 choices right now) so this interests me greatly, and something I keep seeing popup.
We're approaching "retina' resolution on the desktop anyway at 2560x1440 already. I of course mean retina in the Apple marketing sense as "at the normal viewing distance the human eye cannot resolve an individual pixel".
So really two questions - where are these 4K desktop monitors and what's the point?
What Pandora does is completely different. Aereo is rebroadcasting a live signal. Pandora is replaying a recorded song any number of times to any number of people. Aereo has an antenna for each subscriber. How in the world is this even remotely comparable?
I'll just keep using dwm like I always have. If you've never used a tiling window manager, check it out. You'll never be able to go back to manually managing the size and location of windows after you use it.
50%+ of developers I've worked with are terrible. But that's true in any field. 50% of the admins I've worked with were bumbling idiots, too. Welcome to reality.
I don't understand, do you think you've never been in an accident because you're a skilled driver? It's called blind luck. The only accidents I've ever been in is where I was rear ended because someone wasn't paying attention. For ever driver you know that hasn't been in an accident, there's about 1,000 people who've been in an accident that was caused BY A DRIVER. Either themselves or someone else.
Yeah you're right, modern jetliners use absolutely no software and have extremely high incidents of failure related to autopilot systems. Pilots are DEFINITELY not the problem here.
During 2004 in the United States, pilot error was listed as the primary cause of 78.6% of fatal general aviation accidents, and as the primary cause of 75.5% of general aviation accidents overall.[1] For scheduled air transport, pilot error typically accounts for just over half of worldwide accidents with a known cause.[2]
A million kids all over the country learn to respect and appreciate aircraft from these airshows. It's also a huge point fo national pride for us. Blue Angel airshows have spawned who knows how many children's desire to become pilots, or more specifically, military aviators. Not to mention what it means for all the local economies. Defunding this does more harm than good.
The question is power consumption and heat dissipation. I don't know of anyone that can fill a rack with fully loaded UCS chassis with dual socket 8 core HT blades and run the whole thing. Not at scale, anyway. Most people can only provide a fraction of the necessary power and cooling per rack required for that kind of power consumption.
Better in what regard than virtualizing a host with big beefy Xeon processors? I'd like to see the workload where this comes out ahead. Honestly, I'm interested in following this it very well may be better I just don't know yet.
HP can do 512 threads in a C7000 (16 half height blades, 2 sockets per blade, 8c/16t per blade: 16 threads * 2 sockets * 16 blades = 512 threads) in 16U, which comeso out to 32 threads per rack unit, which ironically is the same as a 1RU server with 2x8c/16t Xeons. Cisco UCS comes out to a little over 50 threads per rack unit, but IIRC Cisco can still do more memory per socket as well. The ironic part about all this amazing density is that no one can fill a rack with these things because no one can provide that much power per square foot or dissipate that much heat per square foot.
Also love HP and their 4.3U. What do I do with the left over 0.7U exactly? Put the Moonshot next to my 2.7U server? It's 5U just say 5U.
The whole point of this is to run a lot of web and web application servers. I'll wait until I see the benchmarks considering the new Intel Atom processors are probably several orders of magnitude faster than the Transmeta chips HP tried last time. They also allow you to mix in not only X86 but also DSP, GPU and FPGU depending on your workloads. I'm certainly not sold on the whole concept, but I'm interested to see the benchmarks at least.

Naah, I don't think 3D printed guns will appreciably increase firearm deaths. It's so much easier to get a real gun.
Who needs a CNC machine when all you need is a drill press?
Teklinks?
Not clicking your linkbait bullshit. Explain it in the summary or FUCK OFF.
Sure, as long as Pandora rebroadcasts live radio, commercials and all, and has one FM tuner for each customer.

I have about a dozen email accounts.

Thank god for the ultra secure model we have now, where we have to secure the control plane on every device individually.

That's definitely true, but seems like an awfully small market for so much engineering. That can't possible be the only intended use, right?

And yes HP, go back to making those shitty NonStop printers.
