I would agree. If you want a low power CPU/GPU combination AMD is the clear leader with their line of 'APU' chips, assuming you want decent hardware accelerated video.
And of course, price/performance AMD has been ahead of Intel any number of times.
High functioning autism may be quirky, but low functioning autism is devastating AND horrifically expensive to deal with.
Which makes it unconscionable to me that private insurance tries so hard not to cover it. Oh in my state it is technically mandated, but since the therapists are all out of network you're paying at least 50% out of pocket, assuming you've already met your yearly deductible and they can't exclude you due to 'lifetime coverage limits'.
In some cases I'd consider them bugs, in other cases they're arguably features. Who knows what the world would look like today if Nikola Tesla had been born normal.
Its pretty much too late to do anything useful. There are some way out there schemes but the most positive effect for species survival now is figuring out how to sustain our population on a warming Earth.
Nonsense. Once we finally run out of food and drinking water the inevitable nuclear holocaust should solve global warming straight away. Which works out great because we're overdue for both another global extinction event and another ice age. Three birds with one stone!
I'm not a kid sir and while they don't put hugely oversized turbos on a car they do care about long term reliability. Therefore they'll conservatively set the factory boost settings.
In some cases they are very conservative
Example: A MKIV Supra has a stock boost level of 11psi and you can run 18psi quite safely on pump gas, or more if you aren't, netting you a gain of roughly 120hp.
Well, per the 2003 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision it's not legal to do so(*) but it's perfectly simple to do and the occupants of the vehicle are not alerted that it's happening.
(*) this decision is only applicable in California, Oregon, Nevada, Washington, Hawaii, and other states that fall within the 9th Circuit's jurisdiction.
No there are not. NO car on the streets can give you 150hp with a chip, stop believing the chip sellers marketing.
If that software mod drastically changes turbo boost pressure there sure as hell are. Usually this involves minor vacuum line plumbing changes and/or an aftermarket ECU/piggyback system though...
I would rather die than have these animals go through that to find ways to save my life. Yes I do argue that we don't have the right to do that to animals, and to back that up I am a vegan.
That's excellent news. By using PETA members in early stage clinical trials we can accelerate our research substantially.
Would you prefer to test the anti-aging drug Rapamycin, the cancer immunotherapy drug VSV-GFP, or this new one I keep seeing in my in-box that enlarges your p*nis?
After all, its called the Swiss army knife, not the Bowie knife.
And what a delightful hunting knife the Swiss army has produced. Different tools for different jobs.
On another note, I'm pretty sure we've already had wooden console TVs, you know, in the before time, the long long ago...and now that we don't we have these fancy things called entertainment centers, which allow you to stack whatever batch of single function devices together you like in a vertical fashion. I think IKEA may even sell them.
What's funny is that over-the-road tractors typically have inline 6-cylinder diesel engines
So do massive container ships. The standard inline-6 design is inherently balanced. Want more power? Just make it bigger.
V8's are good purely for packaging reasons. The same length as an inline 4 and twice the power? Yes please...plus we dumb rednecks have had V8's for so long that the designs have been optimized quite well...and if you want a diesel pickup you should really get the Cummins.

Can any of you strip and repair a transmission from a tractor? Can you even explain how it works?
Why yes I can sir. I could probably do a decent job sewing you up if I needed too too, although in most cases superglue will do the trick, and weld, and frame/roof a house, and quite a lot of other things. Are those my specialties? No. Can I do them? Yes.
...More importantly, while I may ask questions I'm not about to contradict a professional mechanic or surgeon like these idiots are doing.
Even comparing both adjacent track areas? I find that difficult to believe. MFM allows resolutions as high as 10 nanometers and the inter-track spacing on modern drives is IIRC greater than 100 nanometers even on the highest density models.
Apart from reallocated bad sectors, if you overwrite a hard drive with all-zeroes, the data is irreversibly gone.
Not precisely true. drive platters (even overwritten with zeros) can be forensically analyzed after the fact by examining the off-center track data...but that would require physical dis-assembly of the drives which they are clearly not doing here.
...also (at least for me personally) drives get retired when they die, therefore there would be no way to zero them out without repairing whatever the fault was. In theory bad sectors or SMART would tell me in advance, but in theory (well, my theory) we'd all be driving flying cars with our robotic stepford wives by now.
I don't think I'd really qualify a noncontact search as "sexual abuse".
Is non-contact search specifically stipulated? If you're trying to prevent contraband getting smuggled in you're going to need to do more than just look at them naked. Full cavity searches agents, deep and hard!
Nonono, we need you young people to pay for the benefits of existing retirees and/or get shot up protecting our citi^H^H^H I mean our overseas business interests.
All hail our overlords Haliburton, Unocal and the IMF
but if just 5% of people will choose to consume less after seeing the whopping calorie count of a tub of buttery popcorn that can be a ton of money saved by our government trying to cover people who don't may not have healthcare and ultimately are a drain on the taxes we all pay.
I respectfully disagree. People who live longer cost the state a lot more. Sure there may be more short term costs, but long term it's a total win when you consider what we spend on Medicare and Social Security
HINT: That's approximately 40% of the Federal budget and going up every year.
The summary makes you think that everything is being tracked, like conversations and text messages, but it's actually just location that's being tracked.
Its not as straightforward as all that. Cellular providers are not required to keep your information private, and will generally cooperate with these requests without any sort of warrant.
When 'incidents' happen they can find out exactly who was there (well, whoever has a phone which is most of us) and then backtrack location data to help come up with a list of likely suspects. Its all perfectly legal. Creepy and borderline orwellian, but legal.
As I said, I agree with both of those points and I'm sorry I didn't catch your primary (briefly stated) one.
Women (and Men) having children in their 30's and 40's vs their 20's is a certainly big factor and quite prevalent nowadays with advanced degrees and two income households becoming the norm in industrialized nations. The stereotypical factory working/blue collar breadwinner no longer exists, you can either be poor or wait.
Unspecified pollution is total pap. 30-40 years ago heavy industry with zero pollution controls was here, not off-shored to some far east country and the vaccine-based autism argument has been thoroughly debunked as bad science...
I know I shouldn't blame myself, but in my case the expression of those genes left me with both gifts (analytical talent) and deficits (ability recognizing social cues). In my son's case it's expressed itself as mild/moderate learning disabilities and obsessive behaviors. I love him very much and I hope he'll be able to overcome them, but I know the pain that I've been through in my own life not fitting into society and I can't help feeling responsible.
1. Widening the definition of autism to include many aspects of "non-normal behaviour" which answers why we have such ridiculous numbers and where most of growth comes from what was generally considered "kids who didn't know how to behave themselves".
2. Increasing age of mothers which is well known to significantly increase genetic anomalies in children, which is responsible for minor increase in "real" autism, as in the one as defined before the ridiculous widening of the umbrella. Fertility treatments for mothers who's reproductive system is basically non-functional and their exploding popularity and their known genetic disorder risks are a great example of this.
While I agree wholeheartedly with both of your points there is evidence to support an inheritable genetic component as well.
I can't begin to tell you about the guilt I felt after a respected developmental psychologist diagnosed our son...and then told my wife 'You know your husband is autistic too right?' as soon as I left the room.
I was never diagnosed with it, just like kids were almost never diagnosed with ADD/ADHD or other mild disorders 30 years ago. I knew I was introverted and sucked at reading people's moods and facial expressions but I'd never considered that to be some kind of inheritable genetic disorder.
We are the problem. We, the collective of the American Voter, are the reason why these types of transgressions keep happening, and are being condoned by the government we elect.
The last time I checked none of us voted on any of those decisions. We might have elected some of the people who later made them, but that's as far as it went.
...and yes, elderly white people (the 'majority' of people who vote) probably don't care about any of this, just don't even think about taking away their medicare or social security.
On January 3, 2011, in The People v. Gregory Diaz, the Supreme Court of California ruled for allowing warrantless search by the police of suspects' cell phones at the time of the arrest, on the grounds of preventing destruction of evidence such as text messages...

That's just not true. Obviously there is 'something' left otherwise a write from one track would corrupt data from the adjacent track.
The inter-track spacing is certainly much smaller than it was 15 years ago, and therefore harder to analyze, but certainly not impossible.
If you're curious about the technique it's called 'magneto force microscopy' (MFM).
Not precisely true. drive platters (even overwritten with zeros) can be forensically analyzed after the fact by examining the off-center track data...but that would require physical dis-assembly of the drives which they are clearly not doing here.
