Number one reason for "Y NO workie on my computeh?" posts is using a laptop to try and play PC Game. Laptops are not for games. There are "gaming laptops" that try to cram enough GPU to melt your balls, but then you end up with laptop coolers and other bullshit because laptop itself cant handle generated heat.
You're right. The words "cheap" and "Chinese" are sort of red flags that maybe you won't find such nice USB headers and will have power distribution problems or noise on the audio ports or heat issues or bad liquid capacitors or any variety of cheap hardware problems.
You just described Rpi problems. Another common one is bad solder joints. All from Farnells Chinese factory.
GoPro cameras would probably make a good case study about not trying to put everything and the kitchen sink into a product. Instead, make it affordable and good for what it'll actually be used for.
except for the fact they are not really affordable in true meaning of that word:)
A LOT! You would spend several hundred dollars if you actually unlocked everything... If you just focus on 1 class for some of its unlocks and a couple of vehicle unlocks you are looking at $50 USD. I haven't done the math but if you wanted to unlock everything, you could probably spend $1000 USD.
This is still "cheap" compared to World of Tanks:) I know people spending 1000 Euros/Year on WOT gold.
Judging from all that, I guess some CISO has a lot of explaining to do. He failed on all three fronts miserably.
Awww how cute. You really thing IS in CISO stands for Information Security. I am going to enlighten you - it is just a misspelled JS as in Job Security. CISOs main role is delegating responsibility, not securing infrastructure. Everything can be wide open and unsecure as long as you have a piece of paper stating someone else is responsible for it.
Right, because end users give a flying fuck about the length of an ip address they NEVER SEE.
Im sorry. I wasnt aware it was end users implementing and deploying IPv6. As an Admin I refuse to deal with this long shit while IPv4 works just fine. I will NAT the crap out of it if I have to just to ignore IPv6 longer.
Seeing as how computing power devoted by miners ramps up difficulty levels, won't this just create a self suppressing feedback loop?
It will. Unfortunately Bitcoin creators didnt take Mining Pools into consideration and with them self correction mechanism has a slight lag. Enough to still screw up the market and make a profit.
no it wont. It has $50 Tablet specs (shitty photoframe TN low resolution screen). 10' one is $30 more expensive than same hardware bought in shop. Kernel source is useless when you have no GPU driver and no VPU driver (no h.264 acceleration). I really dont understand what is this thing about.
No, it's lack of data. Didn't you read the post I replied to?
"Its 5 in the morning, street in front of my house is empty..."
These sorts of things collect data in 5-minute increments (maximum), so if there aren't any cars between 4:55 and 5:00 AM, which is entirely plausible even in the busiest city, it isn't going to give reasonable results. If a couple of cars then go by around 5:01, the algorithm will update and start giving good results again at 5:05.

5 in the morning = no cars at all, maybe a lonely garbage/cleaning truck. Capital of west European country. Biggest/longest street in the city, going from suburbs right through downtown.
>it isn't going to give reasonable results
the F does that mean? lack of input means EMPTY, not heavily congested.
Btw checked again (almost midnight right now) and almost 1/3 of this street is heavily congested lol. Maybe googles definition of traffic is "some cars some of the time". It might also count people sleeping in their flats located along the street as sitting in traffic...
Slashdot Mirror
Australia will soon be $100 / month to get 10mb upload, 100mb download
and a full 33 minutes of download until you run out of your CAP, welcome to Australia NBN, bend over and pass the lube.
It could be worse. It could be like Australia where they have fast downloads but roflbad upload speeds.
or national fiber-optic network with Download CAPS for internal traffic.

yes yes, but was it _on a mobile device_?
Your 4Chan Ion Cannon buddies also thought the Secret Service would NEVER be able to figure out their IP addresses.
Only retard would think that, 4Chan servers got hijacked by feds a long time ago.
assault rifles.
Yes, they use knifes instead, or cars.
assault rifles
is someone paying you for astroturfing under this article?
And yet countries that ban ownership of assault rifles and handguns by the average person don't have these crimes. They just don't.
They also never had 9/11, its so clear to me now, its all because of long weapons that go boom!
There are crazy people all over the world. They don't go around shooting up classrooms and theaters. Because they CAN'T GET AN ASSAULT RIFLE EASILY.
Pretty straightforward. Yes, let's try to do something about mental illness. But the solution is staring us in the face.
BAN ASSAULT RIFLES NOW.
No retard, they dont shoot people because in civilized countries they can get help. They dont have to mortgage the house just to pay hospital bills.
If someone did what this guy did to you and/or your girlfriend/wife and/or your daughter(s), what sentence would fit the crime?
You are counting on an emotional answer so your argument is flawed.

Sure you can, all you need is a fat Eco grant for plant "modernization"
Meanwhile Germany does the switch to renewables.
.. by changing legalese to include burning 3% freshly chopped trees with coal in coal plant as a "renevable" source.

Serial dependencies are where the problem is at. There are things that you can never do before other things, and this depends on the algorithm.
Superscalar CPUs have been doing this for 50 years.
Sounds like user provides list of Structural/Control/Data Hazards. Compiler Pipelines code into blocks that can be ran in parallel. :)
Sounds familiar
It should beat out that $99 walgreens tablet
no it wont. It has $50 Tablet specs (shitty photoframe TN low resolution screen). 10' one is $30 more expensive than same hardware bought in shop.
Kernel source is useless when you have no GPU driver and no VPU driver (no h.264 acceleration).
I really dont understand what is this thing about.
$120
hilarious

ah, one of those reality tv clowns
That's because there are too few samples to calculate a reasonable average, so the result is essentially a divide-by-zero error.
What Google ought to do is either not show the traffic overlay for that segment, show a gray overlay, or show a confidence measurement in a tooltip.
Its a capital of west European country. Something tells me this is not a lack of data but a crappy algo.
