Guess those artists shouldn't have signed away their copyrights. Their beef is with extortionist publishers, not with a law intended to promote the progress of science and the useful arts.
1. Maximum overclocking depends on utilizing safety margins due to production tolerances. They are by definition inconsistant. 2. It is indeed an assumption, but do you really think they'd overclock the card, test it and then send it out if they find out that particular card can't be overclocked as much as other cards they've tried? 3. Obviously all hardware has minor differences in performance, those are the margins and tolerances that the drivers handle by making sure that every card runs stable regardless of those differences. Overclocking explicitely utilizes those differences.
In my example, the imaginary reviewer would not be informed by the vendor that the $100 bill was anything exceptional and would not report on it, because he would think every consumer would get the same. Pre-overclocking hardware essentially gives the reviewer better hardware than the consumer would get, but because the vendor doesn't specify it, the reviewer would assume it's normal and not report on it either.
1. An individual overclocked card is not representative of an average overclocked card. 2. A review overclocked card is likely far better than an average overclocked card due to human selection. 3. As a result, overclocked review cards are not representative of an average cards' performance, regardless whether the average card would or would not be overclocked.
Yet somehow you think this is a good thing? I prefer my reviews to be of products I can actually buy.
If the review copy contained a $100 bill, do you think it would be fair to review the product as if it were a $100 cheaper product even though the average product you can buy in the store does not contain the $100 bill?
You inadvertently described the problem with reviewing OC mode; the amount of overclocking possible is specific to each individual hardware configuration. Minor production tolerances on the graphics card influence how much a GPU can be overclocked and you can bet that the pre-overclocked review cards are absolute "luckiest" in this regard, making them non-representative even for the average overclocked card.
Wait, is this the same PayPal that is owned by EBay, the company that has for years refused to do anything about the selling of copyright infringing software through their site, instead offering an "official" complaint system which is just completely ignored, and continues to do nothing about it to this day? Are they afraid of a little competition?
"We ask you to enact sensible reform that balances the interests of creators with the interests of the companies who exploit music for their financial enrichment. It's only then that consumers will truly benefit."
Yes, only when the interests of consumers are completely ignored, will consumers truly benefit.
They like it. They like any activity that gets you in view of their advertisers.
And as soon as people get tired of video's, they'll be pushing text again.
Facebook's push for video doesn't mean their platform will never ever be able to do anything except video ever again, it's just about meeting current market demands.
He completely forgot to code after just six years, after having been able to code well enough to completely automate his job six years into the future... I wonder who's going to be dumb enough to believe that story.
How do you go about actually deleting your linkedin profile? Best I can find is the ability to delete it from the site or to terminate an account, both of which would only make the profile invisible to end-users, but keep all of it stored in the database.
The only requirement is that you know how to be nice to all kinds of people.
Isn't hat social justic enough for you? Linus may get flak for his "social" interactions, but it gets the point across and the job done. I'd much rather have a correct dickhead over an incorrect nice guy when it comes to doing things that people need to be able to depend on.
The only thing even slightly "entertaining" about this is due to the human crew trying to make sense of what is essentially a list of random sentences from other scripts.
I learned to code because my C64 had BASIC in it's firmware and came with a manual that explained how to use it. I enjoyed how I could make the computer do things and it just snowballed from there. Every single computer in the world should have a programming language as part of it's OS and something that points people in the right direction to use it. Windows 10 comes with Visual Basic Scripting (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/scriptcenter/dd940112.aspx), but very few people know about it.
The fear of AI controling us is not so much about having an AI that wants to kill us, but having an AI that we trust so much that we remove ourselves from the decision-making proces of killing. An drone's AI selecting kill-targets is not scary unless the people in charge of it trust it enough to blindly press the "OK" button for it's every suggestion.

Is this a binding referendum?
In other words; is the government forced to do as voted or do they have wiggle room to weasel out of it?

In any case, if there is indeed prior art, you can submit objections and proof of this prior art during the approval process.
...and pray you have enough money to outlast them in a long-winding court case after which none of your expenses will be reimbursed if you win.

SSH is now 21 years old.
Back in 1994, Telnet (released in 1969) was 25 years old.
Can you guarantee that SSH will still be around in 5 years?
How does one measure "wisdom" objectively?
Or rather; what evidence supports your claim?
It's hard to point out a non-retarded person in this story from conception to publication.
Retarded. You can't expect autocorrect to handle a name.
By that same logic, I hereby declare that the US now owes me $5 million.
Go and vote a trump, you dipshit.
You mean somewhat like Pink Floyd are?

Was that before or after Apple thrust their mighty hand up his sockpuppet butthole?
I like Trent and I like a lot of the things he's done, but that doesn't mean he is always right about everything.
He completely forgot to code after just six years, after having been able to code well enough to completely automate his job six years into the future...
I wonder who's going to be dumb enough to believe that story.

As I understand it, Asimov explicitely made his laws of robotics to cause conflicts that he could explore in his stories.
They were designed to fail.

Well, I guess the daily patent output DOES match the wordcount of a decent sized novel.
By that same logic, we're most likely just a game within a game within a game within a game ...
