Nope. Feet are continually being renewed as part of a natural process and hundreds of new measuring cups are made every day, they don't have time to accumulate any gunk.
Yep, and remember that the (imaginary) market for this system would be people with tablets connected over 4G or home WiFi.
Nobody with a desktop PC would be simultaneously: a) Rich enough to subsidize the hardware investment needed by the service providers to make this work (monthly fee...$50?) and b) Too poor to buy a $150 graphics card (which is what this hardware will equate to in six months time).
I could have sworn there was another company that recently discovered that you cannot in fact stream 1920x1080 uncompressed over a standard internet connection and went bankrupt. Now Nvidia is trying to do it?
No, NVIDIA's just fishing for somebody who's stupid enough to go bankrupt from buying NVIDIA chips.
NVIDIA is hoping somebody else will pay for that. Right after they buy 100 million $ of NVIDIA chips and find out the "Latency isn't a problem!" thing was just a rigged demo.
I think he means NVIDIA - NVIDIA have been hoping for ages somebody will be stupid enough to actually try this.
Same thing with Intel when they were trying to find a buyer for their Larrabee chips - real-time raytracing for cloud games! Only a billion dollars of Intel chips and motherboards needed!!
Problems like 9 times 7 foot 5 need three steps to complete.
8/37 of a meter? Not so many.
The other problem is you're constantly mixing units. You won't have to look very hard to see labels with the number of grams of fat are in a 12 ounce steak, etc. It's insanity.
What we really need is a compiler that compiles Java down to Javascript.
All the power of Java but no Oracle, no endless update nag screens and one less source of browser exploits (JVM exploits are a big problem in practice).
The weights and measures system you use doesn't make you more advanced or retarded (yes, retarded literally means the opposite as advanced) any more than say Chinese glyphs make them more primitive than using an alphabet.
Ok, quick, what's 9 times 7 foot 5...?
How many 6oz cups can you fill from a 3 quart jug?
The Autobahns are full of police cars...but I never saw anybody pulled over for going too fast
Tailgating? Not indicating when you pull out? Hogging the left lane? Doing anything except driving and paying attention to the road? They'll come down on you like a ton of bricks. Speeding? Not so much. Not unless you're weaving in and out of other cars to do it or generally acting like an asshole and bothering other drivers.
If it's not congested then most Germans drive around 180-200kmh (110-125mph) on the Autobahns.
I've done 250kmh (150mph) in a taxi...which should put most American's idea of "speed" into perspective.
Yes, it's kinda cool/weird to be able to blow past police cars at any speed without worrying...

how do they know this reliably?
Use the method they used to determine this to define 1KG
Yep.
The summary itself says "...the kilos living in national labs have been retrieved and handled more frequently than the international kilo".
ie. Some of them are stored more carefully than others and aren't gaining as fast.
And didn't help lead to the downfall of Rome as well? I believe they had a lot of lead in their wine containers.
That is one of the theories, yes.
And why not C++? It has a number of advantages over C...
The fine article has a big link in the first paragraph: "What is WIndows RT?"
Oh, wait...

Um, no.

Yep. It even has the obligatory mention of C++ to lure the little fishes in.
(comparing a web scripting language with an adult language like C++ makes no sense anyway...)
Meanwhile, the school shootings continue unabated.
I mean, really, having security at major sporting events, is that really the equivalent of murdering millions and millions of people? Really?
Remember Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, etc. That's what's lurking under the surface.
"pleaded guilty"...
Somebody cut a deal.
Since when did correcting a wrong assertion become pedantry?

I bet you're fun at parties, being a pedant about everything.

Ummm.... couldn't they select for big brain AND big guts?
ie. Experience has shown that if you're a drunk driver in the first place, you're not to be treated like a grown-up.
I only wish it was your car he'd hit...
Now THAT is stupid.
If you live in Belgium you can drive to Germany in no time ... and there's no speed limits in Germany.
Even if my friends kill someone, I'll still support them.
Would you help them bury the body...?
This. Next time he hits a car there might be somebody in it.
And there *will* be a next time if you approve of his behavior by inaction (ie. not "snitching").
