Seattle traffic is utterly awful. The public transportation is quite nice (compared to other U.S. cities at least) but the traffic is abysmal and has been getting worse. The city has ranked in the top ten cities for worst traffic for a while now. The geography and city layout pretty much makes it impossible for the traffic not to suck.
Linux on mobile platforms (Android) was underrepresented because of this. A lot of Android users deliberately modified their user agent string to report a desktop browser, so they would get the desktop version of websites instead of crippled mobile versions.
I doubt that Android users who actually did such would amount to any significant amount. Most users probably don't know such a thing is possible let alone be able to do something like that. Unless there's a browser that has a nice shiny button that does it for them, they wouldn't be doing that. There are a lot of tech savvy Android users, but Android is also the platform of the masses and they're generally tech illiterate to the point that if you asked them what mobile OS they were running they're just as likely to answer Motorola or Galaxy as not.
Actually there is a power issue with this card. A few of the reviews have pointed out that this thing is drawing power above spec through the PCI bus. No idea if it's a driver issue, but there's clearly an issue with some of the cards that have been released.
The 1070 costs ~$200 more an by your logic it's also obsolete because you could buy a 1080 instead (never mind you'll need to spend another ~$200 on top of that) which had launched prior to the 1070. Also, the 1080 launched at the end of May so I don't know where you're getting 2 months from.
Your comment is almost equally as misinformed so should we assume that it's an Nvidia ad?
Even if you do get the teachers to understand that (if they don't already) grading exams based on rote dates and names is a lot easier than an essay about the causes that contributed to a particular event or what the likely impact of a different policy would have been given other historical factors at the time.
I had the same thing for the most part where primary school history was mostly names and dates. I had one teacher in secondary school who did a bit more than that, but it was still mostly names and dates. It wasn't until taking college history that I had any real interest in the class itself as the professors completely ignored dates and names and we spent an entire semester just discussing how peasants and common folk lived through the medieval era and how some of their experiences shaped laws and other parts of culture that are still around today. A lot of the work we did involved writing essays or having online discussion and I suspect that were it not for a cadre of cheap grad students, the professor wouldn't have been able to do the grading.
They recognize that the business is failing, but why look for a new job (that no one would want to give you given your current poor record) when you can keep the company around for a few more years and bilk the shareholders for a bit longer until they decide to fire you at which point some golden parachute clause in your contract kicks in and you get even more money?
The second amendment doesn't say that the government has to give you a gun, merely that it cannot prevent you from owning one. You have to buy your own firearm or make it yourself. You wouldn't claim that the first amendment is invalid because presses are not naturally occurring in the universe either, would you?
I'll hazard a guess that you're in favor of universal healthcare (there tends to be a correlation between a person's stance on that and gun rights) so how could you argue that people have a right to that since modern medicine and doctors are not naturally occurring either?
I always thought that the American Dream meant that it didn't matter if you were poor or came from nothing in the United States because you were afforded the freedom to pursue your own ambitions and that your hard work could give you a better life. It doesn't mean that you'll be successful in your endeavor only that you can try and if it works you'll be able to keep the fruits of your labors. There are still a lot of people who immigrate to America and do improve things for themselves and their family, but they probably do need to put in 60+ hours in order to achieve that.
I don't think it's really something that's unique to America either. Plenty of people immigrate to Canada or European countries for much the same reasons and similarly build better lives for themselves, but the name dates back to an earlier time in America's history when a large number of people (typically Europeans) were immigrating to the U.S. for a variety of reasons so the name has stuck.
Presumably you wouldn't, especially if you already have an iPhone 6 or 6S. I can understand that for those people who are on contract and can get a new phone for "free" they have no reason not to get a newer model, but for anyone who outright buys their device, either of those phones are going to be more than fast enough and are still receiving software support.
We've come to the point where additional hardware improvements don't result in a better experience (e.g., faster browsing) and so there's no reason for most users to upgrade more than every four years at this point. When that becomes the reality of the market it doesn't make sense for Apple to design around most consumers upgrading every two years and it's more cost effective to keep the same design for another year or two before launching a new model.
That particular battle was lost long ago and it's well established legal precedence that law enforcement can use evidence against you that was not legally obtained. This is just another brick in that particular wall.
On a somewhat funny note, I've noticed that a lot of the people most upset about their fourth amendment rights being trampled in this case are the same sort of people who usually have no problem stepping all over the second amendment. And before anyone gets upset, it goes the other way as well. It's funny to point this out to them and watch them jump through mental hoops to try and justify their reasoning.
When you implement rent controls, there's very little incentive to build more housing. It's the type of policy that most economists agree is a bad idea and it's little surprise that it distorts the market and causes all manner of ill adverse side effects.
You honestly can't expect anyone sane to build new housing when laws mandate that it be a poor investment. At that point you end up with the only solution being government funded public housing projects, but those have a lot of stigma attached to them.
I think people get confused by the name, but the AAC format is not a proprietary Apple format, nor was it even developed by Apple. If you have older hardware it might only support MP3 (which AAC was designed to replace) but almost any newer "MP3" player will support AAC. Apple originally sold their music with a closed DRM wrapper called FairPlay, but they (along with everyone else in the business) stopped selling DRM-encumbered music years ago.
For what it's worth if you're going to buy music online you should probably get it in a lossless format (FLAC) so that if you format-shift it won't result in additional degradation beyond what the lossy codec would normally involve. In practical terms it doesn't matter that much since audio codecs aren't changing terribly often and almost everything is backwards compatible with the older formats, but if you re-encoded your lossy files enough they would eventually sound like garbage.
It's that or you get something creepy like the Fast & Furious movies where they use CGI to add the dead actor's likeness over a body double. As an aside, I recommend watching the film The Congress which explores such a concept.
But then you only paid a tiny fraction as well, so why should we respect your opinion either?
With such an assumption, under your own system of reasoning, your own system of reasoning can't be considered reasonable by anyone because you've made it impossible for anyone to be worthy of respect.
I bet the same idiots who write about cultural vandalism would be equally pissed about people reading their articles with ad block. It seems that the people who constantly demand that everyone else produce something free of charge are very unlikely to provide something of the same cost themselves.
If they're so enthusiastic about free courses, they can pay for the servers and bandwidth costs.
It goes the other way as well. If you go to court for a traffic violation and the officer who wrote the citation doesn't show up, the judge will toss it. Same thing if someone has sued you and fails to show up to court. The judge is there to preside over the trial, not to do the job of the prosecution of defense.
There are also countless situations where it is more appropriate to say nothing at all instead of writing a short text comment, but that hasn't seemed to stop most people who are constantly on Facebook or any form of social media for that matter.
It seems possible as the chips AMD made were designed for power efficiency because they got absolutely trashed by Nvidia in the notebook market the last generation. Also the new Nvidia GPUs (GP104) are their performance segment and their mainstream (GP106) and budget (GP108) chips will probably have much lower TDP ratings.
That being said, spree killings stopped by a civilian or police shooter early don't make the news anywhere near as hard.
To some degree this is also because once you stop a spree killing or something that could have been a spree killing, you have no way to determine how much harm was prevented. Was the person killed going to go on a murderous rampage that would have claimed dozens of other lives or were they about to commit suicide after just killing a single person?
Sometimes we can learn enough about the killer after the fact to make an educated guess, but we never really know.
30% is hardly bad when you consider that you don't have to deal with payments at all or any refunding of those. If your average sale price is low (as it tends to be with apps) then transaction fees could eat up close to that amount alone.
Nokia made some good hardware and a lot of okay hardware (and rarely anything terrible), but you're missing the truly important part in the equation. They made a lot of inexpensive hardware, and that is what made them the market leader. That then gave them the economy of scale to maintain that position until the game changed and that market wanted something else.
Looking at their issues bringing Maemo (eventually MeeGo and now Mer, which tells you something right there) to bear suggests that they had deeper problems that would have suggested their Android experience being lackluster as well. They were arrogant enough to go their own way so even if they had went Android, there's no way they wouldn't have made their custom third party version even worse than the other third party manufacturers at the time.

Also, there's a good deal of money to be made when people are in a panic and selling like crazy.

May as well sue the French government. The roads that the attackers used sure as shit facilitated their attack as well.
