Are they disabling possibly-slightly-defective areas of CPUs, selling them, and then selling a way to enable the possibly-slightly-defective areas, and $50 seems to be just enough to charge to cover the actual likelihood of any part actually having developing a fault in the newly-enabled areas (and then Intel having to issue a replacement)? That seems a pretty good deal, I guess.
Remember that the US has invaded two of Iran's neighbours. A more apt analogy for Americans would be if Russia invaded Canada and Mexico. I'm pretty sure then they'd demand to have a bomb to protect themselves. No one with nukes gets invaded, and these people being threatened know it.
A bunch of mindless generalisations and guesswork. Your true colours are showing, asshat. Muslims around the world regularly condemn violence, and do everything they can to stop it. Scholars have risked their lives to produce massively condemning publications and spread them throughout the world. But I guess that didn't end up on Fox, so you don't know about it.
What disappoints me is that assholes like you can think they're so right, and the facts that destroy your argument are well-known around the world, yet your arrogance somehow enables you to know you are right, regardless of evidence.
You also missed "Muslims" in that list of groups that people are raised to hate, and there's a lot of that going on in the US. Loads.
That's bullshit. Most games made in the last 4 years will work flawlessly, and a great number of games written before that. I don't know what you are trying to prove by blatantly lying.
There is always the idea of a space-plane with a hybrid engine. Instead of pushing upwards through a dense atmosphere while carrying oxidiser, use the lift of wings in that dense air and the oxygen in the air to burn fuel. Once the atmosphere is too rarefied to provide enough oxygen, switch to the internal oxygen tanks. A plane like that can burn for significantly longer (one such design, Skylon, can burn for nearly 47 minutes) than a comparable rocket engine.
It doesn't really work like that. Ray tracing is not very good for stream processors, as it requires lots of branches to calculate each ray (as each ray bounces off a different surface or interacts with something else) which will halt the other streams until the branch merges back into the same place as the other streams, turning those 400 stream processors into 1 stream processor and 399 sitting-around-doing-nothing processors.
They were working on Larrabee, using up to 48 cores (essentially P54C Pentium cores, with some modifications), which would be much better suited to real-time raytracing than any existing GPUs.
It's not a mosque, and it's not at ground zero. Anyone who says they can't build their community center on their own property is doing so because they don't like Islam. That's the only possible reason. Oh, or they really like the old coat factory and want it to stay the same - that would work, too.
Not really. Everyone, without exception, is born an atheist. That means if there is just one adult atheist in the world, that more people have been atheist than otherwise.
It's very possible to be both, but that doesn't change the fact that the scientific part of one's life has to deal with truths, and the religious part treats truths like the plague. It's a bit of a cluster-fuck.
Yes, if the reason people abide by that moral code because they'll get poked in the ass by Satan for eternity if they don't. Doing the right thing for some batshit-crazy reason doesn't make it OK. It's clearly unsustainable as a practice.
The GP said it was unfortunate that the republic was replaced by a monarchy. That is clearly bullshit. That was my point.
As for the Queen, she is only as supreme as anyone lets her be. Remember that one King was executed the last time the monarchy tried to do anything. The royals are obviously human beings, but they give up their entire lives to be part of the royal family. They can never be out of the spotlight, and they have duties to attend to from an early age, such as extensive travel, ceremonies, raising awareness of social problems, etc. The Queen, for example, has met 10 of the last 11 US presidents (the exception being Lyndon B Johnson), sharing political discussions with them either in person or remotely. She is a statesperson who has met and talked extensively with Eisenhower, Churchill, JFK, Emperor Hirohito, Margaret Thatcher (obviously), a few Popes, and countless other royals, presidents, prime ministers, etc. She has a fantastic grasp on politics through a lifetime's exposure to the most powerful people the world has ever seen, and the frank conversations she took part in with said people.
The monarchy do great work - they cost only a few million Pounds a year (about $35m, I seem to recall), and bring in far more than that in tourism. They are also impartial on internal matters of Parliament, unless directly asked. She's the regulator of the system, and very good at it.

Wow. Thank fuck no one listens to you. I like progress.

That's your evidence? Awesome rigour there, sparky.
Paranoid? The US has a history of fucking over governments they don't agree with in that area. I'd say his fears were justified.
You do realise that the US instigated the current wave of Islamic jihad, right? The US was involved since day 1 - don't fool yourself.
Oh, I forgot you were Super Internet Tough Guy Republican Asshole for a minute then. Jesus you're a horrible person.

You know you can turn UAC off, right? And that Open Office is available for Windows?

Yes, but making a copy of the DVD's contents doesn't deprive anyone of any property.

Lighten up, Francis. This is not 1992. The definition of "web" has changed a bit since then.

No, it's just common sense. Waste is still waste, and is never a good thing.
Not this shit again. The communist regimes you talk of replaced religion with their leader as the figurehead of a new religion - their state.
What she says means nothing. That's the point. You are talking about her like she is the 4th branch of government or something. Get a fucking grip.
Isaac Newton - 400 fucking years ago. Forgive me if I think we've moved on since then.

So she's only a bit crazy. Thanks for clearing that up.
