It's common sense. You don't play games of skill against the house, only games of luck. Or one-sided skill, I guess. The dealer never makes decisions, only follows a set of rules.
Ahh. I thought it had a super-accurate dead reckoning sensor of some sort far more accurate than the usual stuff. If it's just a low power processor as you describe it's less interesting.
Moot point. Apple will be 1 more year releasing a new phone. A new Android phone will come out in the next 3 months that again massively beats the iPhone 5S. In 6 months, most new high end Android phones will be faster.
Apple's failing is they are one company fighting a dozen.
I don't recall Intel marketing this as a Rpi competitor. And ARM is the one who should be scared. And I won't be conventional and say it's Atom that should scare them - it's Haswell. It's dangerously close to being usable in tablets. What happens with the next gen at 14nm?
I love how apparently everyone complaining about this must have mastered all unintended consequences.
Sometimes fixing a bug just isn't that important, even a security bug. Sometimes the stuff you break can be worse than what you fixed. This is why it may take 30 minutes or 2 days to fix the issue, but much longer to make sure you actually want to push it to production.
If they had private medical data or insider information that could be hacked by exploiting the issue I imagine they would have fixed it within an hour. As it stands, they probably didn't _need_ to fix it any faster than a few weeks.
Yeah, I'm amazed this junk article is somehow being posted to Slashdot's front page. It's a joke to anyone even casually familiar with, well, computers at all.
Wow, you mean if someone can get a copy of your unencrypted hard drive they can get your data? And this even includes _system administrators_ (who can get your data anyway)?
What in the world is this person going on about, and why is this posted as an article? It's infantile.
No. Intel will push down to be more and more competitive with ARM. ARM, however, will never grain traction in the desktop/server space _except_ maybe in micro servers but even there they will face very touch competition from things like Moonshot and future incarnations of Intel's many integrated core stuff.
Did you see the announcement on Quark? ARM should be worried. Not panicking, certainly - they are very, very established in that space but they can not sit on their laurels.
To which I say no, yes for the most part, and usually.
You are paid based on what you'll take so "equal pay for equal work" is laughable. Why should your boss give you a raise just because some guy you work with got a raise? It's ridiculous.
I'm cool with abortion and would even have taxpayers pay for it until the child is viable. At that point you're two people sharing the same body, your rights no more extensive than the baby's. Unless medically necessary, no abortions should be allowed after viability.
You can wear what you want, but if you look like an idiot or whore then you look like an idiot or whore. But that's your right, like my opinion is mine.
Sexism would be asserting that women are inferior.
This is just men acknowledging the fact that most men like tits. It's a fact, not talking about it is silly. By all means, make a "dongstare" app if you want, I won't be offended.
It's a simple algorithm, not a "technology". Calling it a technology makes it sound like they actually created something new versus just stringing together existing ideas in a simple and non-novel way.
This is a tough world, and money is security. They aren't killing anyone, they're just trying to capitalize on an opportunity to make money.
That doesn't mean we, society, should allow them to monopolize a key cultural and historical figure. We should just tell them "No. Fuck off." Easy as that.

Shut up.
Unlike race or national origin, Autism affects one's behavior. And he's using it as a defense.

Nobody has ill will towards Microsoft but dirty, angry neckbeards.
Nothing is interesting about the 5S _except_ the motion processor. It's a good idea if it's accurate enough. Can't wait to see it in other phones.

Guess which is easier to develop for?
What makes you think ARM will win on price? Price in CPUs is largely (but not entirely, of course) determined by your factory process.
Now tell me - who has the best semiconductor manufacturing technology in the world?
No. Intel will push down to be more and more competitive with ARM. ARM, however, will never grain traction in the desktop/server space _except_ maybe in micro servers but even there they will face very touch competition from things like Moonshot and future incarnations of Intel's many integrated core stuff.
Did you see the announcement on Quark? ARM should be worried. Not panicking, certainly - they are very, very established in that space but they can not sit on their laurels.
And given x86's overhead, that'll never truly be able to compete with ARM.
Famous last words. I'm sure IBM, Sun, and HP were similarly dismissive of Intel's ability to compete in the HPC arena.
So tell me - how'd that work out for those guys?
And the Haswell running at 4.5 watts is orders of magnitude faster. What's your point?
Complete BS. ARM will sputter out while trying to move up the CPU segment long before Intel will sputter out while trying to move down it.
By all means give ARM props in the low power space - but to pretend it can just easily do what Intel has been doing for decades is pure hubris.

It's not even objectification. I can look at a woman and think "Nice tits" and still acknowledge her value goes beyond her titties.

No it won't. Classic computers are still faster.
Only, well, they're far faster. Quantum computing is a sham and anything you can do on a "quantum computer" you can do faster on a normal computer.
What now?
The US.. meaning...you? So you deserve it if you get sent there and then get attacked and killed?
Umm.. Makes sense. Seems you've really thought this out.
