Such inventions which consist of a crazy amount of hard work, many sleepless nights, a lot of talent and ingenuity are the reason why I absolutely love science.
Intel welcomes lawful competition, and we are confident that Intel's microprocessors, which have been specifically optimized to implement Intel's x86 ISA for almost four decades, will deliver amazing experiences, consistency across applications, and a full breadth of consumer offerings, full manageability and IT integration for the enterprise. However, we do not welcome unlawful infringement of our patents, and we fully expect other companies to continue to respect Intel's intellectual property rights.
I read, "We welcome new competitors at the x86 architecture market but we will sue the shit out of you if you actually try".
I don't see a third player here: Essential runs slightly modified Android.
Microsoft and Blackberry could be a third player but both exited the smartphone market. I, for one, dream of a third OS which is not based on the Linux kernel and Java (so Samsung Tizen doesn't count in my world). QNX sounds like an excellent idea - too bad Blackberry couldn't quite figure it out.
Most likely I will be modded to hell but I cannot understand the point of Twitter: I just cannot compress my thoughts to 140 characters. Also my brains cannot process such incomplete ideas anyways: when I'm reading tweets and I feel like my brains want to implode because I feel like I'm not getting the data I want to get. IOW, most tweets are basically the bait for proper pieces of information.
So, what's twitter then? A service where you can publish news titles or share significantly downsized photos? Enlighten me, please.
OK they found like 100 neurons which encode faces. That doesn't make it clear at all how and where individual neuron states are stored in your (long term) memory. These neurons themselves obviously cannot do that.
So when's the impeachment of the POTUS coming? I don't think anyone in their right mind in the US appreciates the fact that Trump has been actively sabotaging the US economy ever since his inauguration.
It has everything to do with the ever increasing idiocy at the border which is colloquially known as security theater. People choose not to visit the country where the border control has the rights to pry into all your electronic equipment and request your social networks passwords or deny you the entrance.
If you want to see what life is like without capitalism, trying looking at Venezuela, where they're rioting because socialism can't provide enough food for them to eat.
Socialism is the least of their problems. And capitalism without regulation and elements of socialism is doomed.
Of course it's all BS and it's always been. You get fired - you usually get nothing and then break your neck trying to find a new job. Oh, and your wife may divorce you in a process 'cause you've become insolvent.
Guys who are upper in the corporate hierarchy enjoy golden parachutes and resumes which say that they've got experience in managing other people, so they move to other management positions in other companies where they continue to manage while those at the lowest rank get all the flak for the company's failures or misfortunes and get fired whenever the quarterly
goals are not met.
And don't get me started on their salaries and benefits.
Do you think that ReactOS will ever reach the point where you can basically say "bye bye" to Microsoft Windows, but keep using all your favorite Windows software under ReactOS?
In ten years, maybe, if your favourite software is at least 5 years old.
Will this be able to run Windows Games and DCC software that taps into the processing power of the GPU?
Not likely, because in 10 years ReactOS will only properly support Windows XP, while Windows will move on so much, there will be no modern GPUs to support Windows XP. Even right now, the absolute minimum requirement for modern GPUs is Windows 7 and ReactOS doesn't support it at all.
Or will ReactOS wind up being "mildly compatible" with Windows software -- e.g. basic Office productivity type software works, but professional-grade 3D software like Maya/CATIA does not?
It's unstable as hell even if you manage to run it on your real HW/VM.
If you need to run Windows software but you cannot afford a Windows license or if you don't want to run Windows for some reasons, use Wine instead - if your application runs under it, most likely it will run well.
In this day and age you need at least four more codecs to be supported to watch movies downloaded from torrents: AAC, AC3, DTS and AVC/H.264. And pirates have already started adopting HEVC/H.265.
The threat level for users with smartphones and tablets with an Android operating system remains high.
Sigh. Yet another advertisement for a "security" company which most likely sells some "security" related products and/or services.
The truth is if 1) you don't have "unknown sources" enabled on your Android (it's OFF by default) 2) you update your Android software (it's updated by default) 3) your device receives regular updates, you're almost perfectly safe and you don't need to be running any AV product on your Android.
So even if you've never used the service, your name and number could be on Truecaller's database, thanks to someone else who's saved your contact details and allowed the app to access them.
It's not about only Truecaller. Even if you own a dumb phone, your friends have at least one instant messenger (WhatsApp, FB Messenger, Viber, LINE, Telegram, Skype, etc. etc. etc.) installed which knows your name, and in certain cases your home address and other data (your friends might have added your personal data to their address book).
If you want to remain private in this world, you cannot own a phone number at all.
Welcome another round of API/ABI breakage: even the latest beta NVIDIA drivers 381.09 are not compatible with this kernel. Here's a dirty hack/patch to resolve the incompatibility.
VMWare Workstation/Player 12.5.5 also needs somelove.
VirtualBox has already been made compatible. Thanks, Oracle for keeping it up to date.
It's akin to asking doctors to protect you from STDs. Technically they can. Practically you wouldn't want that. A doctor in your bedroom. Overseeing every intercourse you have.
Let me translate this marketing talk into something that average people would understand: "Let's milk our customers for as long as possible by first selling them an early alpha and then, while solving critical bugs, adding some missing features so that the game doesn't look and feel like a demo product".
Sorry, this is such a shitty concept it must die. Games in 80s, 90s and early 00s were released as complete final products and rarely if ever received any patches or DLCs. Now with the advent of a high speed Internet connection, even operating systems are offered as beta products (I'm looking at Windows 10). This is all done to save money on QA/QC and to increase the profits of game publishers (not, not developers) - the companies which basically do nothing, except clever often misleading marketing.
I'd love to list only relatively unknown ones: K-PAX, Coherence, Primer, OXV: The Manual, Los cronocrÃmenes, Twelve Monkeys, Source Code, The Butterfly Effect, Moon, Europa Report, Perfect Sense, Franklyn, The Signal, The Machine, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
G.Skill does not manufacture the memory dies, it purchases the memory dies and assembles them into a DIMM memory module ready for sale to customers - Wikipedia.
Which means that technically they are assembling memory modules, instead of producing them from start to finish.
There are just four companies in the world which actually produce memory chips and they are: Micron (Crucial), Samsung, Hynix, and Toshiba.

Birth control pills are often taken not because a woman wants to prevent an unplanned pregnancy but because such hormones help deal with acne.
This has nothing to do with Trump.
It has everything to do with the ever increasing idiocy at the border which is colloquially known as security theater. People choose not to visit the country where the border control has the rights to pry into all your electronic equipment and request your social networks passwords or deny you the entrance.
Tell me it's a joke.
I can read XMLs - no problem, most JSONs on the internet have no new lines at all, thank you very much.
That's 6123.5 kilograms for people who are thinking straight.
I.e. better in every aspect.
Runs? More like crawls Android 7.0.

Except STAR WARS: EPISODE VII - THE FORCE AWAKENS and many other movies which were heavily bribed to get high ratings from the critics. Yeah, right.
