  1. Nickel-Zinc whiskers so damned badly that it's about as useful as rechargeable alkaline - you might get 20-50 charge cycles at best then you're fucked.

  2. Dumbass, the forum (next to the BBS) was one of THE original forms of a social network.

  3. Re:What perf like vs laptop/desktop? on AMD Unveils E9170 Embedded GPU (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Going by perf per watt, the Duo still wins, so one could just underclock/undervolt it, lock down the excess compute units, and probably still outperform the embedded part at the same power envelope.

    Or just use defective Duo dies.

  4. Re:What perf like vs laptop/desktop? on AMD Unveils E9170 Embedded GPU (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    A lot of businesses have specific power draw requirements put in place for things like maximum power draw, etc. to prevent excessive power bills from always-on equipment.

  5. What perf like vs laptop/desktop? on AMD Unveils E9170 Embedded GPU (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    1.25 TFLOPs in sub 40-watt? Last I checked Radeon Duo was like 250w and 11.45TFLOPs. Unless the performance per power matches or beats the Duo, this is kinda shit for an embedded solution - not like embedded solutions weren't generally shit to begin with.

    You've obviously never gone duck or goose hunting. Nor used tungsten shot in a 3 1/2" shell.

    "hunters don't shoot far upward, do they"

    Any bird hunter pretty much has a 30-45 degree upwards aim, and they're after stuff almost 500-60 yards up.

    A regular shotgun-style wall of lead, even from handguns from the crowd below, would've likely hit the shooter. Sure the hotel/casino would be fucked, but hey, their fault for not catching the guy sneaking in a score or so of firearms in day after day...

    "The sole purpose of a gun is to kill and maim."

    Tell that to my RAMSet rivet gun.

    Tell that to my pre-charged pneumatic cartridge gun that helps me thread cable through pipe.

    Tell that to my Nailgun.

    Fuckwit.

    "The only type of person capable of taking out that shooter from the crowd at the critical moment would be a fully trained and equipped sniper with combat experience"

    Wrong. Hunters regularly pull off 300+ yard shots all the time with a piddly .30-06.

  10. So, I'm guessing Voat wouldn't have them, either? That alone should probably tell you most of these people are fuckwits of the highest order in the first place.

    You can fucking leave. My comments are quite often clean, informative, and funny! My comment history shows it. You're just an easily-triggered shitheel. Go be a pussy somewhere else. Free people speak freely. Oppressed people like you oppress others. Go piss off.

    I guarantee you the fucking local police don't even follow this shit (I see Riverside PD at fucking 150 feet AGL and that ain't for takeoff or landing, they're circling at that altitude.) What makes you think the military would be any smarter?

  13. Raise more deer on Can We Reduce Cow Methane Emissions By Breeding Low-Emission Cattle? (popsci.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Tastier, makes better jerky, leaner, can be raised faster/reproduces quicker, requires less space, requires less food, requires less energy.

    Oh, right. Fucking sheep. Carry on sheep. Baa some more while you stand around doing nothing but chewing grass. This is EXACTLY what your lazy ass deserves.

    Wow, way to take something out of context. The CEO stated that necessity water should be a human right. Anything else should be charged for so that water is a properly-managed resource.

    Typical COWARD spreading lies.

  20. I worked for Apple and I can tell you that you're completely full of shit. Idiots sending in their laptops because the web browser wouldn't work with a website. Good day you apologist shill fuckwit.
