Lousy explanation using lousy measures... if your audience can't understand standard units, just say what fraction by weight would be extractable water.
And if they don't understand fractions?
is it mandated by law in US not to offend stupid people by exposing them to something smarter than a rock?
Valve is huge into open source GFX drivers - they made a big deal out of Valve-Intel collaboration that let them speed up opengl engine by almost hundred percent directly because they could work with driver source and Intel software engineers.
MS lost most of that money as a write-off replacing faulty units of what was by that point a very, very successful piece of hardware.
No, only 1B of >4B was replacements, rest was R&D (Kinect alone cost them >1B in random companies purchased, that lead to... licensing whole Kinect from small Israeli company Primesense because they couldnt make it work), Exclusives (50mil gta4 dlc, 75M for not making gta4 ps3 exclusive etc, probly an easy 1B there), marketing (easy 2B there) Exclusives alone for X180 alreard cost M$ $1B and it wasnt released yet.
Your idea about religion, generalized is: "There are multiple versions of an event, therefore no version can be true". I guess you never had to deal with witnesses, in both good or bad faith. In elementary school I had to, possibly I had a more interesting life than yours.
You sure did, dealing with all those witnesses reporting ZOMBIES. Im sure you believed them, nothing weird or wrong with dead rising from graves.
You mean if you run 3 copies of same database and constantly compare them with each other so in case of discrepancy you can at least guess which one is correct?
The gaming market is only rudimentaly separating the workload into X number of threads
They did that with Xbox because they had 3 x 3GHz cores towork with. They did stupid things like pipelining (huge input lags) whole engines to bump up fps. This time around they will get 8x 1GHz and there is no other way than to design engines with data parallelism in mind.
There are people who need more power, but they're running fluid dynamics simulations or rendering movies or simulating new ICs or something like that. I've run Autodesk Inventor on 24-CPU workstations. That's one of the few interactive programs that can usefully use a 24-CPU workstation. It's not a mass market product.
In a 1-2 years EVERY single new game will use 8 cpu cores by default.
Install it on one of the computers processing transfers. Let it run for a week while monitoring patterns and learning gui. Prepare some dodgy accounts, usually you take a hobo off the street, clean him up, make him open proper bank account, give him drugs/vodka/whatever he wants and drop him off where you found him. You use those accounts regularly to make them look legit. Once you have your window of opportunity (lunch break, loo visit, whatever) start transferring money to a bunch of accounts you prepared earlier. Immediately go on a shopping spree, commodities (truck full of cigarettes, TVs, even hi end food). It might seem small time until you realize truck with cigs is worth couple of million euros.
Reproducing this on a hardware level with a network of peers replacing a company servers - consumer clients model ramps this up to a whole new level.
The requirements of vested interests play well into the lack of scientific/technological awareness of Abbott and many of colleagues (excluding Turnbull obviously).
What network of peers? NBN has INTERNAL data caps build in. Exchanging data with your neighbor next door counts same as downloading goat pr0n from Romania.
NBN was never a threat to client/server hosting model, it was planned from the start as a joke. Lets build super fast broadband network, and then lets limit it to 50GB per month while pretending its about limited interconnects with the rest of the world..
Previously, changing the shape of a laser beam required physically replacing the curved mirror in the laser. As the mirror has to be carefully aligned, this is a time consuming process.
But picking crystal for your lightsabe^^^laser is a rite of passage!
New York Times is Government biach. Lets not forget how NYT asks every agency it can find before publishing a story. They sat on warrantless wiretapping story not to upset Washington.
Even me on my shitty 4870 with two monitors have problems under windows 8. Everything is fine with one monitor active, but turn on dual monitors and all of a sudden I get flickering artifacts in 3D game on the main monitor.

That was my first thought as well, though I cynically suspect this new openness from NVidia suggests the Steam box will be AMD based
oh mah dog! That would be something :) AMD would own gaming market for next 5-10 years.

So he was just following orders?
Option? In Gnome????? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Maaaybe maybe if we are lucky you will be able to change it in registry file using Mono :)
All billings end up in Israel of all places (wtf?)
I dont need XBMC, I WANT XBMC because everything else SUCKS UI wise.
MongoDB
reliable
data integrity

Its web scale!

there is a reason its so cheap - print quality is poor.
I love how ghetto it is, but I wouldnt want anything printed on it.
Remember those cut cables in Suez canal? This was US military/NSA operation.

Looker (1981) is getting closer and closer.
Cant wait for the first movie made and acted entirely by one person (or an AI).
and they are doing it using same method M$ used coming up with WinRT and losing $1 billion in the process
So what you are saying is She was asking for it! With that mini skirt and cute smile she was practically screaming RAPE ME.
Is that it?

The NSA most likely has more than enough information to secretly try and convict this person
NSA has enough information to secretly try and convict EVERY American.
