Honestly, the real name thing didn't bug me so much as the "vanity" url name they give me is "MyFullName" instead of "nickname"... when I search for my nickname, I'm a significant portion of the results... I should have been able to get this.. with their old profile system, I had it.. now I still don't.
The problem is that a quad-core ARM isn't 40% as fast as a 6-core Intel, let alone a dual/quad 8-core AMD... Now, you can do some really cool things with ARM, if there were a decent I/O backplane for a cluster it would be awesome, but most can't even get 40mbps of throughput to a network adapter... When there are systems handling hundreds of thousands of requests per second, ARM won't handle that in its' current state, and those that have tried have been so much more expensive than x86 off the shelf, it won't save enough in power over its' lifetime. Doesn't mean it will always be that way... and yeah, I've looked, and it's cool.. but not worth it (yet).
There goes your ignorance... a healthy baby should float and wouldn't make a good anchor at all...
Seriously, an upbringing like that might get you a thoughtful, well adjusted child who is creative and adapts well. It also might teach you to be less of a selfish ass.
For the most part the cross browser stuff is pretty straight forward these days, and if you're building a web application (not site) you can limit yourself to modern browsers without too much trouble... depending on your browser feature needs of course. IE11 is decent, 10 isn't bad, and 9 is doable. If you use react, angular or ember as a base, it's as good as most component ui systems. It's still easier than a cross platform codebase for native apps.
Yes.. I understand that... My meaning is that the li batteries are from scarce resources, and sold in a limited market... More demand means increased prices... Barring improved methods of production or increased competition.. Which for the base materials is unlikely... Prices are likely to go up.
The problem is that going all electric for many places isn't going to help anything... Many places burn fossil fuels for electricity. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for more electric cars.. just don't think it's necessarily going to improve the environment.. let alone the cost to dispose of the batteries properly. Our electronics waste is poisoning China, and Japan is leaking nuclear waste into the larger environment. There are plenty of issues to work towards improving.
How do you figure that with increased demand li-ion batteries will cost half as much? That's simply not how economics works.
You can do direct deposit into a savings account, just get an account slip (routing and account number) from the bank. You can also do a checking account and simply shred the debit card and checks, or simply request not to have them. All you need is a routable account. You don't need "easy access"
It's about affecting the whole... when a party gains popularity, even 8-10% this tends to be seen in policy changes in the other parties... I'm not pushing for a straight/classic libertarian agenda, I'm more pragmatic than that... the point is to influence the whole a bit more.
It's about trying to reduce the size of government consistently... It's when a party tends to get 8-10% of the popular vote, and even 5% of seats in congress that those concepts start to influence decisions... I'm more pragmatic than a typical Libertarian, just the same I'm for creating change, and reducing the federal government in was Democrats or Republicans would oppose.
I have a bank account that I can (and do) have a portion of my income go into that I can't touch without going into the bank... set such an account up, only in your name, and have that amount go there.
It definitely has me rethinking my tax contributions. I think if everyone changed their deductions to 99, so they don't have taxes taken out, it would choke the government off a bit... I'd rather 20-30% of my income go into savings for the year.. I won't make anything, but it at least would stop the interest free loan the the US Govt.
Thank you... Though I didn't experience this, my brother had a teacher that would score boys by rule 10% lower than equivalent work by girls in the class. It's one thing to encourage girls to work in areas that are typically male dominated, it's quite another to offer incentive to discriminate.
Windows as of 7 (maybe vista) supports actual symbolic links via mklink.. you'd need to login as another user, replace ownership/permissions of the profile directory, and then move and mklink/D to the original location... It's a pita, and honestly, I prefer my OS and profile data on the SSD...
Not necessarily, the cache and buffers on the chip may be the same depending on model. A couple years ago a 256/240GB was the sweet spot, as usually had twice the throughput, but the controller was the same for the 512gb so throughput was roughtly the same or slightly slower... that said, go for the space you really need. If it's the only drive in a laptop, go for at least a 240/256, but today I'd go for 480/512gb. (Note the 240/256 and 480/512 are pretty much the same, it's just the slack space is taken off the top/bottom for advertising, a certain amount of space on SSDs are reserved for handling bad sectors).
Don't get me wrong, I loved B5, and today, imho it's just behind the newer BSG as best sci-fi of all time. That said, the first series wreaked of day-time soap opera in terms of the acting. It got better, but lets be serious here... Again, loved the show, but wish they could re-shoot the entire first season with better acting, and a slight bump in the dialog.
Duh, that's why you get 3-4 phone lines... one for voice, one for you to dial out on, and one or two for you to run your bbs... Then your users upload DOOM to you overnight, or your FTN setup will get it to you for the GAMES sub... You bluebox your way into a long distance board to download the best new stuff for your users, and have l33t/pir8 access. New User Voting modules, and secret sub-bbs access boards abound. Though I was in it for the ansi/ascii art scenes and for the message boards more than anything.
The fail is when you're stuck waiting 3 years for US Worst to actually get you more than a second phone line, despite living in a major metro area, when it's 1994 and BBSing is starting to die off in favor of the wider internet.

well considering the target is android, you'll get v8 under the chrome browser.. beyond that, you can probably get node.js running in it.

That's why I drive a V8 Challenger R/T ... If I didn't do it, how could the Prius drivers feel good about saving the world?
If brewers reduce planned production, to purchase less grain, to reduce waste, what would that do to prices?

I really like Cox for the most part...

This is why I've voted Libertarian (where available) for the past decade now.
I know you're joking.. but I do know of quite a few telnet boards still up and running...

Generally, it's still worth it for an SSD if you have at least a SATA2 controller... it won't run full out, but is usually 2-4x the speed of any HDD.

It's probably a much slower SATA2 disk controller which is your bottleneck.
