I abandoned Nvidia about 5 years ago after their support and drivers made me want to throw my $500 card against a wall. I sold it and switched to AMD (which hasn't been trouble free either, but definitely better). I was just considering switching back to Nvidia for the lower TDP, but the HBM info that was released earlier this month stopped my purchase. I will wait to see some benchmarks from reputable sites before I decide whether to stay AMD or jump ship.
benchmarks are generally useless from Nvidia or AMD, you should see benchmarks as the sample boards hit some of the good review sites like tomshardware or anandtech
Actually it IS emulation. there are plenty of better articles around the web on, including some posted in the various discussions here. It can't play the disks, but it really is the original binaries being emulated, games don't need to be ported. however the emulator seems to need a lot of tweaking for each title hence the restricted library set to start with, the various dev houses also must agree to allow their game to run in the emulator.
not likely. When Xbox One (and Ps4 for that matter) were release they were both missing massive amounts of basic features, backward compatibility has always been a nice to have feature but it doesn't sell a lot of consoles so I would think it would be way down on the list of features to implement.
these types of people always believe they are smarter than everyone else and can't possibly be caught, it is usually that same attitude that gets them caught as the belief makes them make moronic mistakes (like boasting about being untouchable). They will keep believing that right up until people with badges and guns kick down their doors and then scream how they have been unjustly framed.
no it won't, at some stage the money gets spent, whether it is on a packet of chips or a book. Unless you only hoard the money and never spend it then eventually it is traceable. The simple fact is people have real physical presences and require real physical items to live, those interactions are tracable, amusingly crypto currencies actually make those interactions far far easier to trace than cash.
Then you're not fit to sit on a jury. Nullification is the entire reason we have juries. It's the last defense against a government run amok.

bullshit. Jury nullification is a breach of your responsibility as a juror and a complete cop out. A jury is there to render a non biased verdict as to whether someone broke the law they were charged with, nullification is dangerous (though sometimes I agree with it too, but should be a very very rare occurance). A Jury is often working on incomplete information, this is done to attempt to keep bias out. As an example I was a juror on a murder trial, we had one member of the Jury that even though she thought the woman was obviously guilty she had believed the sob story told and wanted to basically give a not guilty verdict as she thought the punishment was too harsh. We spent more time in the Jury room than in the court room as we were excluded from a lot of evidence and discussion. It wasn't until after the trial we found out what a scumbag the woman on trial really was, but that would have potentially biased our verdict to assume she was guilty (e.g. wasn't till afterwards we found it was the 3rd person she had stabbed, or that she was a druggie with a long history of violent attacks).
The biggest problems with supersonic flight weren't emissions or the sonic boom. It was the financial viability of it, enough people simply aren't willing to pay the extra to make this viable (at least historically).
Has openwrt become more usable? I was using it up until about 12-18months ago. The constant stability issues combined with arcane/not working configuration items and finding myself constantly downloading and testing various mods to get around problems just got to frustrating and time consuming to be worth it for me.
The trouble with that argument is that it relies on the stronger members having enough economic power to actually do that. It is far from clear that this is currently the case, with the expansion of the EU in recent years to include many far less economically advanced member states
The problem with that argument is that the economic condition enjoyed by the stronger nations is built upon the exploitation of the poorer ones. You don't get to complain about how poorly someone is doing at treading water while you step on their head.
That may be the case with the world in general, but for this case (ie. the EU) it is not the case. Most of the poor economic situations are self inflicted from corruption, poor taxation system or just plain bad government. No one forced Greece to be a corrupt tax avoiding nation and certainly no one was benefiting from what they were doing.
Recurring expenses don't bother me. Trusting a company like Spotify to handle them securely and professionally however does. To many of these companies consider secure handling of your details as something that is distant second in importance to actually getting your money. Recurring payments mean long term trust, I simply don't have that in such a company.
in online poker that isn't hard. There are a heap of programs that track the betting behaviours and stats of your opponents so you can know as much as possible without having to monitor the table constantly. online poker by its very nature is far more limited in the information you have and as such is not to difficult to track.
The FSB would have no interest whatsoever in anything I do. There are thousands of things the NSA would be kicking down your door for that the FSB at best would laugh at, unless you are some person of significance or have something they want then they are definitely the lesser evil.
the reason people can multi-table so much is because you rarely have to do anything. mostly you are just folding until you find hands or positions you want to play from, multi tabling reduces the boredom and stops you from playing in hands you shouldn't. It is not uncommon to go 10-20 hands in a row on a table where all you are doing is folding. multi tabling is not hard.
reading the details this looks more like a complete route and they are just trying to put a nice face on things. A person that relies heavily on maths and is a tight player would have similar results, these are the type of players that professionals make their living off, players that slowly lose money too you, not fast enough to scare them away and make them realize they suck though.
25% per year? so far less than what bitcoin lost in the last year? seems to me the story is shit and it certainly isn't any sort of disruptive influence on the economy as it is too small to be noticed. What I find amusing though is people claiming it is more stable, botcoin has collapsed far worse than pesos in last 12 months.
seeing as he said DEVALUATION not deflation he seems to understand the difference just fine and used the correct term. The error is in your reading capabilities.
Eventually, ISP's are going to come up with 'pay per gigabyte' pricing that will solve this in a better, fairer way. Net neutrality is vital - certainly for protecting access to all content. But unlimited access to unlimited amounts of data is not really net neutrality. I'm fine with watching Netflix at 720P if I can save money on my broadband bill. Someone else may want 4K streams and be willing to pay for it. The internet will survive this.
Eventually? I live in Australia nearly all the providers here charge on a per gigabyte quota basis and have done for a long time. It is one of the reasons I can't see ultra HD streaming taking off here as when you are paying for your data it becomes very expensive
25Mb/s is only if you want 4k streams.3-5Mb/s is what the vast majority of users consume at. even 1.5Mb/s is quite watchable, but noticeably lower quality.
That was my thought too. $38 mil is nothing for california, and given the upside (lots of people not dying horribly), it seems worth funding.
To put in perspective, last year CA made $82m on cigarette taxes alone and plans to spend about 10.3 billion in public safety spending 2015. I think $36m for this cause could easily be raised and appropriated.
Hell, just fully legalize pot and let the taxes on that pay for it. Who's onboard?
while it is a nice thought I seriously doubt 10 seconds is going to stop many, if any, from dying. It would take a person the best part of that 10 seconds just to realize what was happening as it happens so infrequently OR if the alarm is to sensitive that it goes off all the time for minor tremors then it would be just like a car alarm where people barely even realize one is going off and again still won't react in time.

your ignorance is truly mind boggling even for slashdot, that is saying a lot considering some of the ignorance that is regularly displayed here.

Is that a US style "world" cup? so that would include a few US states right?
attribution would backfire and just create competition for who could become the most notorious.

generally when you witness a crime the right thing to do is report it to the authorities, if he was scared of retribution then do it anonymously.

....that's 100% more than radio stations are paying to play the same songs.
ahhh no. Radio stations pay licensing fees too. some of those fees for commercial stations can be pretty sizable too.
