I see this argument over and over, but it isn't analogous. The very first x86 integrated FPU was *faster* than the i387. Right now, the integrated GPU is an order of magnitude less capable than the top end discrete GPU.
What I notice most on these things is how mangled mouths move during speech with the interpolation on. I have TVs that will do it, media players that will do it, etc. It all comes down to being creeped out by the fake mouth motions and I shut it off. *some* types of motion does look better, but the things that look wrong, look wrong enough that there's no way I'll use it. Give me a higher framerate source without trying to interpolate... Please.
Are you sure about this, or are you basing it on experience with really poor TV frame interpolation? That's not 120Hz. That's more like 30Hz with lots of fake frames.
Do you think Idou cares about objectivity? As long as there is a world to save or a news story to be had, he doesn't care about the truth and is more than happy to revel in sensationalism as it feeds his self-loathing. Besides, who needs the truth when what the TV tells him is so much more intertaining.
We aren't doomed as a species, but Idou's religion of human self-loathing sure wishes we were.
"The total radioactive release from Fukushima is currently estimated at about 5.5% of Chernobyl, which spewed an incredible 14x1019Bq. "
Finally a story, (from something called the Nature News Blog no less), that doesn't try to say that the Japan incident is as bad a Chernobyl. Responsibility in reporting? I am shocked.
Sure, profits and revenue are down, but T-Mobile USA still made $1.3B on $20B in revenue last year. They are in no danger of going out of business for a few years.
Battery? Why did you choose the most awful energy storage medium for this application. If we only had some sort of storage medium that is great for relatively short term storage, high charge and discharge rates...
If only someone would create such a device... It would probably be, oh, about 10x the weight of a battery for a given amount of energy storage. I bet it would be pretty easy to shock yourself with one, too, since the potential discharge rate would be so high... Won't someone think of the subways!
Yes, but all the proposed things I was replying to were rainbow table type analyses.
It's computationally cheap to compare a hash to a database of a few million hashes. It's much more difficult (not hard, but slow enough that it couldn't be used as an ad-hoc password rejector) to compare all passwords when a properly slow hashing algorithm with a unique salt per account is used.
There are many reasons fax machines aren't faster.
More to the point of your question, you much now turn in your geek card for not knowing that 56k pots pots is not possible. One side must be digital all the way through.
Perhaps (and this is an unsupported conjecture on my part), the mode of locomotion has created this disparity.
A bird has more room for error without becoming food (due to the flight aspect) than a lizard. A lizard needs to learn fast or be eaten. I can see how a bird might be able to learn slower (but contain higher potential) without being eaten.
I have, on multiple occasions seen licensing fees negotiated down to 1/3-1/2 initial asking price on more than just Microsoft products. It is no crime.

I'm not even talking about compute performance. The I/O (memory and storage) is literally less than 1/10th on arm architecture.
In what world do you live that you actually think this is a reasonable question?
We're talking over an order magnitude in difference in capability.
And someone did. Back in the NetBurst era, 8Ghz was attained. Must mean NetBurst was a great architecture.... :snicker:

Your comparison does not hold true.

I think you're an anti-nuclear power shill.
Here you claim to work for the NRC (suspiciously no mention of supposed house ownership in Japan) http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2359418&cid=36960274
Here you claim to own a house near Fukushima. http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2418782&cid=37340946
This time it is an apartmnet owned by a friend. http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2418782&cid=37340482
Wow, in this post you "own a house 100 miles from the plant"
In another post:
"I have a good friend who cannot sell his new apartment 100 miles South from the plant. "
Please keep your stories consistent.

So, in your world, the *only* reason a company is ever sold is because it is in danger of going out of business soon?

No. We are near the highest price, adjusted for inflation, that the US has ever seen for gasoline prices.

Not if properly salted it will not.

Except mercury (while awful on a body) does not cause cancer. Well, it might, in high doses that are going to kill you in other ways anyway.

I was being facetious. I just wanted to learn how to super-sleep like this.
Wow, no wonder netburst sucked. It could actually spend more time doing nothing than the actual time passed?
Drop the "micro" and what you've said should be very obvious.
"to sleep for a few seconds every second"
I wish I had the ability to sleep a few hours every hour. Think of the time saving!

RTFA. The summary is an outright fabrication. (of course, so is the title of the article in question).
