I remember reading short story about a planet that solved market saturation by introducing special chemical compound to all the goods making them expire (turn into dust) at set dates. Everything from pants to cars had to be repurchased regularly, that meant everyone had a job producing those goods. In the middle of the story we read about Chemical plant accident... and then we switch perspective to a spaceship in orbit that just traveled here from far away star system to check for signs of civilization they noticed from distance. They run various scans and cant detect any technology on planets surface:), they even send a probe, but all it can see is dust.
This book has a short story called "Dzie liftera" ('Day of a lifter') that is either based on the Limes Inferior, is part of it, or was the basis for that book.
You cant in US. HR is not to help you work more efficient. HR is there to shield corporation from LAWSUITS. They can point a finger and say 'mister X was reprimanded by HR for grabbing women asses and ejaculating into water cooler".
The work will get done, and our industrial processes can produce enough for everyone.
I don't think that's really true. I sure wouldn't be doing that work. I would be doing some work, but it would be work for me, that I enjoy. The world would look like the open source landscape at best. At worst we'd have no garbage collectors.
Thats the point, you would be living on basic income in a trailer park doing whatever it is you like to do. Smart capable people would do useful stuff and move civilization ahead. This is one of the scenarios of post scarcity world (goods/food manufactured by automatons leaving people unemployed).
Plenty of examples in Science fiction literature. From the top of my head I can remember a short story where mandatory state IQ tests determined class you belonged to. Lowest class was forbidden from working and was provided for, higher classes were forced to work to utilize their mental capacity. Story was about a hacker helping people cheat IQ tests so they could classify as higher class and work. Incidentally that hacker had to pay another hacker to hide his own high IQ so he didnt have to work:). I forgot the name of the story:(
An OTA HDTV signal is about 20mbit/s. Now the rub is, most PVRs have the option to record at least two channels simultaniously. And it later needs to be read back out, then re-encoded, and written later
what have you been smoking? why would you reencode perfectly fine (well, I LOL every time I am reminded that US went with mpeg2 instead of mpeg4 like the rest of civilized world) mpeg2 stream?
YT wants to do something like this. But instead of talking single cents per subscription they are talking dollars. It would cost me more to subscribe to 20 YT paid channels than I pay for 200 TV channels.
If they do that, they won't get any more free SSDs to test, and that'll impact their ability to write papers criticizing SSDs. What would you prefer?
I would prefer research to be done by someone who is not manufacturers bitch. You dont need a ton of money to test commodity hardware, the trick is to SELL stuff after the test, not take home and pretend it wasnt a bribe.
incidentally Google Glass has very little to do with AR. Its just a transparent 320x200 (or less) resolution display with camera for your phone:/
Having a display at a constant spot in your field of view, and a camera perfectly aligned with your field of view, doesn't give you possibilities to quite immersively augment your perception of reality? Come again?
not if the display is in the corner of your eye instead of overlapping said reality but hey, Im sure that wont stop Google from redefining AR to "reality with some subtitles in the corner"
Google - the front runner of innovation:) Btw I think this has something to do with Google Glass - those glasses will be just an aux display for the phone. Phone needs to have good voice recognition integration. To get there in time they are starting with pc browser (10 years too late).
They're pointlessly rendering if they go beyond what you, and your monitor, can perceive.
The only point proven is that you do not understand FPS, nor do you understand the purpose of SLI/CF.
I understand fps plenty. More than OP because I know you can spot more than 60Hz. You need to be a really big sucker if you a believe going over 60Hz will be unnoticeable b pay for two cards

You can easily use a cellphone with >=2G connection (320x240, H.264, 15 frames/s for 2G) as a (somewhat laggy) video link

So why am I still getting those annoying "give us your name" popups on YT?
This is clever - this way they automagically get full GFX support for closed source vendors (MALI400 drivers on cheap tablets for example).

Thats it! Thank you :)

Allwinner A10 is in no way open source, no hardware decoding acceleration, no 3d acceleration with open source,
When I'm in a firefight, the last thing I want is my weapon "harmlessly" disabling it's function.
use AK-47/74 then

yes, they used 15, only few of those were of the same brand and model.
Word, when I'm downloading the latest pirated release of a 1080p movie
"word", and intend to download zipped h.264 files leads me to believe you are retarded.
Useless paper/test.

The best and only solution is for manufactures to turn on the bastards and stop using fat and ntfs period or charge more for devices that do.
too late, that battle is lost already

Why yes, it's acceptable, because 59 is more than enough for smooth animations--your eyes don't notice the difference ...
proves the point that only suckers buy into SLI/CF scheme
1. Don’t be a terrorist.
2. If you are a terrorist, hide behind some civilians.
So far that hasnt stopped Peace prize winner US sockpuppet. Even US civilians didnt work all that well.
