Yea, there's a pretty big wall that's been hit in terms of clock speed, which is why multiple core processors is the direction instead of ramping up speeds.
That's the first thing I noticed from this headline, while Blizzard is in the name and mentioned several times in the story, they have nothing to do with the development of the mentioned games...
Curiously, the lineup included absolutely no Blizzard Entertainment games.
I hope Blizzard will be able to keep themselves above all the stuff they have no control over, as their name along with Valve are the only two games studios that I feel deserve all the praise in the world. If Blizzard becomes synonymous with a chain-shitty-sequel-churner I'll be annoyed to sad.
I did too; played through it after playing Half Life 2, felt the same way. I see it that, in 1998, Half Life was a god damn masterpiece of storytelling in a game, when put up against FPSs from that time, but compared to current games (especially right after playing the sequel) it's sort of, bleh. I expect that if I had played Half Life way back when, I would feel differently about it.
Probably the same reason I couldn't get past the first quarter of System Shock 2 but can play Deus Ex over and over again.
It's an interview with David Tennant about his thoughts of the show and him leaving. The best thing I saw in this article was the fact that Davies was leaving, hopefully paving the way for better episodes..... (but that's just my opinion).
And Steve Moffat is picking up the reigns of main writer, the man who, in my opinion, has made the best episodes of the revived series.
Scenario: Both Voter 1 and Voter 2 choose Obama. Vote machine 1 reads current number of votes: 10
Vote machine 2 reads current number of votes: 10 Voter 1 and Voter 2 both cast their ballots for Obama simultaneously.
Vote machine 1 writes new vote tally for Obama: 11.
Vote machine 1 writes new vote tally for Obama: 11.
So, instead of receiving 2 votes, Obama is only credited for 1.
If someone is writing this kind of code, they have no business being part of a business, LET ALONE being responsible for any part of democratic representation. It's felony-esque incompetence which would cause any respectable company to lose a lot of money.
Imagine if 5% of your TI-83/84/92/9000 calculations just gave the wrong answer. They'd probably be out of business. These 'folks' should be out of business.
We've taken the next step by mounting our 15,000 rpm drives in an external enclosure which then spins the drive at a further 10,000 rpms, for a total system speed of 25,000 rpms. Initial benchmarks are very promising! Pretty sure this is a general relativity question, so it would be less than 25,000. Come on get your science right.

They can both do R&D at the same time you know.
The University provides Network access to the students. You do not provide him access to his car. Pick a better metaphor.
WOOSH
Dunno how much this counts, but the end of the WoW open beta was attacks on all the capital cities, where a death meant you were done.
Yea, something was legislated against, therefore it will stop. What logic?
Yea, thankfully Moffat's taking over, Davies' episodes have been quite bad.
It really, really helps me if I've played the old game, or else I feel the same way.

Nobody else reads /.. Just you.
And you!
I fucking hate slashdot. Who the fuck likes mashing buttons on some plastics shit keyboard for fun? Might as well learn the real world. Dumbasses.

Right, it makes it an emulator!
Yea, I used one Microsoft mouse for almost 10 years, until I discovered they don't make them good enough to survive being smashed against the wall.

The red, blue, and pick with black arrows picture in the article looks like a decent enough visual for Star Hole.

Much better is when I'm around people that don't know about this, and I tell them their phone is about to ring.

But you can't prove that, which proves his point.

Try living in a place called "Falls Church" and talk to me about too many churches.
Although ofcourse no other Indiana Jones could ever compare to Harrison Ford.
And how many people said no James Bond could ever compare to Sean Connery?
"The system operated exactly as it was supposed to. That was pretty neat."
As simple, and basic as it sounds, it is always nice when you tell a machine to do something, and it does something else, exactly as it's supposed to.
