If your GF lived near me, she might. I've got a highway that has a stop sign on the end of the on-ramp with nice pleasant obscuring bushes in the direction of oncoming traffic. If you can manage to spot a gap in the quarter second stretch of road you can actually see, you need to match speeds with traffic extremely quickly.
Normally I'd say you're right, but in NE, you need that stuff because we can't be bothered to plan or take care of our roads properly.
Also, it's not the same with CPUs. In that area, the best choice likely is one of the latest models. Even if it is way too fast for what you really need it for, the cost of manufacturing of a lesser chip is the same or even sometimes more, and speed stepping means that the faster chip is probably more power efficient for the low-power thing you actually need it for.
Yes. Legitimate copies won't let you skip it. Sometimes even the ads are unskippable. That's minutes of your life wasted for every single legitimate disk you watch. Bootleg copies on the other hand will let you just start watching the movie you wanted to watch.
Something is broken horribly in a world where the knockoffs have full feature and quality parity with the originals and in addition are superior in other ways as well.
They are not 100x more efficient. They use 100x less silicon. Which, if my math is correct, means that the manufacture of one unit of these things generates 99x as much silicon as the manufacture of a similarly performing "standard" unit costs.
Mirrors are cheap. If your solar panel is 60% efficient, you can afford the 70% reflectivity of polished aluminum. A unit that would power a NE home in the winter would be no larger than a C-band satellite dish. A NE home with electric resistance heating.
Try a sustained download of a single large file. I don't have an iPhone, but I did have tethering on my non-ATT, non-smart, non-iPhone a while back. The download speed was fine, but I was getting 1000 -- 2000+ ms latency, which killed everything else.
Just curious, what search terms are you using? I've found that adding "+datasheet" or "type:pdf" helps a lot in searching for pinouts, at least for things that are common enough to make it into digikey...
I don't know of any big news sites that are blocked in China.
Neither do I, although I'm not actually interested enough in the subject to bother researching it. If you're in china, though, are you sure blocked sites don't exist? They could be just be blocked, you know.
You expect to go into a strip club and find a dancer who had "good intentions" and got out of stripping? And since you didn't find any in the strip clubs you go to, they must not exist?
Wow. You got some cites for that? And an explanation for your non-standard use of the term "immaculate conception"? (Hint: it's about someone other than Jesus)
No, sometimes it's the shareholders who bear the burden. It all depends on the demand elasticity of the product. Of course, if you want to see the shareholders, you have to look no further than your retirement funds...
Either way, Many of us are already doing our part regardless while continuing to be skeptical. I, myself, have reduced my carbon footprint to a mere fraction of one of the more prominent GW-action advocates, former US vice president Al Gore, Jr! That includes all of the goods and services I consume as well, and I did it all without buying any bullshit "carbon offset" scams.
If, on the other hand, your hot boss calls you "sugar tits", chances are that you are just a typical fat slashdotter and she isn't attracted to you anyways, but is merely making fun of you.
Isn't that the definition of sexual harassment? Deliberately making someone uncomfortable with sexually degrading comments and actions?
Indeed. 401ks and other retirement funds are kind of a scam in themselves. The liquidity you sacrifice by having your wealth tied up might very well not be offset by the (uncertain due to the shifting nature of politicians sticking their thumbs on in the tax pot all the time) tax savings.
For something that is deployed to tens of thousands of machines..
Is there some reason why these languages couldn't be compiled and optimized? Code is just the programmer's will expressed as text that the machine can somehow interpret, right? If there is so much PHP out there, why wouldn't/couldn't there be an efficient compiler (by which I mean something that produces executables and not just "executables that are really just an interpreter tacked onto a script")
The dearth of such compilers on the market suggests to me that the gains wouldn't be as great as claimed for the majority of applications where interpreted languages are used.
I think we should just go after them for collusion. They all have the same ridiculous pricing schemes, and not a single one has thought of under-cutting the competition with a "the price is the price" advertising blitz.
Here's the reason: once you're off the contract, you're wasting money, but you don't have the contract holding you down. You can leave at any time.
Someone who is a better negotiator than myself could probably parlay that into some savings. I'm still trying to figure out what to do about the "extra charges we choose to bill you for that aren't taxes" part of my bill. I mean, it's not taxes, and it's not part of the advertised price of the plan, how the hell can they be so brazen.
Slashdot Mirror
Indeed. I'd definitely stay away from anything labeled "turbo" where I can't figure out what part is spinning.

Oh, at first you would make a distinction between "earned" and "unearned" pleasure
Not if you wire the pleas-o-tron to simulate the satisfaction of having earned it, too.
In a world where any sensation can be simulated at the push of a button, any sensation can be simulated at the push of a button.

is thusly illogical
Did you really mean to adverb "thus" there? I don't think that sentence means what I think you think it means.
If a CEO thinks his job is to be a cheerleader or worse, directly generate sales, one must ask the question: who is running the company?
"Executive" means he's supposed to execute something. Not be the "Top Salesman."
"ext:pdf" or "filetype:pdf", I mean.

Wait a minute..

Where did you learn statistics?

Uh, just FYI, we are europeans. Mostly.
Yeah, except ditch the cpu fan and get a custom one. The typical "included" cpu fan is annoyingly noisy.
Why does the remedy appear to be more harmful to AMD - an Intel competitor - than to Intel themselves?
I think we should just go after them for collusion. They all have the same ridiculous pricing schemes, and not a single one has thought of under-cutting the competition with a "the price is the price" advertising blitz.
Heck, even a gaussian distribution looks like power law if you look at a small enough piece. I.e. drop enough terms on the taylor series.
Reminds me of the "Chemist's Rule." There's always some number of points that fits the graph paper you happen to have.

Yet.. I still pay it. I'm kinda stupid that way.
