The sun facing disk is the right area. If you count the total area, you have to multiply by the sine of the incident angle. In short, reducing the large area to the flat disk.
Several things hurt Amiga: poor resolution screens (unless you paid more), no PC SW (more cost for 86 board), and lots of piracy. Every user had boxes of copied apps. Most developers failed or went to other platforms. And the viruses did not help.
Apple seems to prefer a different route. X86 HW runs OSX and Windows. ARM HW runs iOS and has good copy and virus protection (not perfect, but good enough).
There is way too much blame dodging on both sides. Obama might not be motivating, but he inherited an economy that had fallen off a cliff. Neither party is doing enough to get the US out of the hole it is in.
What is clear to all except bankers and politians is that we (the world) are not going to be the same again.
Even for 32-bit instructions, the bus to physical memory can be 32, 64, or 128 bits wide. The reason is that on-chip clocks to cache can be 10 times or more higher than external memory. PCI is not the only or fastest bus system.
Also the ARM-based server chips do have PCI and SATA.
The video I saw talked about replacing 20 racks with one half rack. Not for all supercomputing tasks of course, but for web serving or Hadroop it works.
IIRC they were using four core SoCs with built in fabric. Obviously the same approach will work with A15 (and 64-bit when that come goes into production)
Windows on ARM is not about servers, but the same solution for laptops will work in low-energy servers.
If you use a terminal that you know has video, you waive your right not to be videoed in public. Which is a pretty tenuous right anyway. And you can hire an expert to evaluate the recording.
Or you can not clone cards and steal money from people and companies.
ITV's market cap is £3.1 billion. The market cap is the price per share times the number of shares. If a company tries to buy all of the shares however, the share price goes up because shareholders know they can hold out for more. The premium can be anywhere from 10% to 100% depending on the feeding frenzy.
No, the (max) speed of light can be fixed, and probably is, but the configuration of the universe is due to space expanding faster than the max speed of light.
In the article someone commented on the difference between business needs and developer needs. This is why I favour doc generating systems like doxygen.
Part of the problem might be brain organisation, some people think very spatially and words get in the way. The code and fix as fast as you can does work if you are good, lucky, or fast. If so you probably do not want to doc every iteration.
In British English, a billion used to be equivalent to a million million (i.e. 1,000,000,000,000), while in American English it has always equated to a thousand million (i.e. 1,000,000,000). British English has now adopted the American figure, though, so that a billion equals a thousand million in both varieties of English.
The same sort of change has taken place with the meaning of trillion. In British English, a trillion used to mean a million million million (i.e. 1,000,000,000,000,000,000). Nowadays, it's generally held to be equivalent to a million million (1,000,000,000,000), as it is in American English.
The world is in a bad loop. To build safer nuclear reactors, we have to make new reactors. We can't make new reactors because the old ones are unsafe. Instead we turn to dirty coal and fracking to get gas.
I heard a good expression recently "They were running too fast to get on the bicycle" with the conclusion that they never got on the bicycle where they could have gone faster.
I presume that these features are part of the movement toward having TVs contain fully functional computers that can connect to the internet for viewing content or in the future Skyping other locations. That funtionality is in your laptop as well, but we expect it there. Sometimes the laptops spy on people, for example if it is stolen.
A TV that can transmit is more frightening to some. Perhaps because of 1984, but perhaps because that TV has become a major part of people's reality and has so far only been one way.
A totalitarian state, or even a demanding employer, could ask us to be available for conversation at any time. "Your choice, but if you have nothing to hide. We are only here to protect you from criminals." etc.
Most people in advanced economies are massively affected by HTML and programming languages. They correctly know that they can acomplish almost all they want from within Facebook or Twitter, but they might want to understand more. It doesn't mean that they will, necessarily, become professional application programmers or web designers.
There is alot space between knows nothing and full-time professional. There is also a range of incomes between the two. Actually some of the jobs that would benefit from some web-design knowledge and the ability to do simple programming pay more than being a full-time developer.
People are free to persue their own interests. I do however welcome the rise of free, but high quality, training and education on the web.
If they had released in ebook form earlier, people would have pirated it earlier. So they are ahead this way. And perhaps there are some honest people who will pay for ebooks that they do not already have.
Somewhat offtopic perhaps, but effiency of large-scale projects is relevant here. Also if there is more money left over from essentials, and I consider healthcare an essential, there is money for R&D

Yearly variation, possibly correlated to sun earth distance, but the effect is very weak.

The original researchers probably meant STP, you can look it up on your own.
20 years ago most of the management was goverment or education organizations. Postel was employed by the University of Southern California.
You had my interest until you suggested RMS running the internet. 800k is a bargain if that is the compitition.
"Living language" is not an excuse to be sloppy and inaccurate. Some things don't matter, some do. Typos are OK though.
The different profit on the chips is significant and I don't know why more people are not talking about it.
Web sites say that ARM makes about 5 to 10 cents royalty per processor. Most ARM SoCs sell in the $1 to $20 range.
I am sure Intel could make a 22nm chip that had better performance and only five times the dissipation, but could they make money on it at $10?

HP will be using them in products.

Only idiots and bigots, and Republicans assuming they do not fit into one of the previous categories, are quibbling.

If you are BaHai, things are much worse for you in Iran than anywhere else in the world. Many of the Persians in the west are Baha'i.
a source I considered reliable told me in the 80's that that was already happening, of course then it was on a very small scale.

Look up "I want things for free because other people have done something fantastic and made money from it and I am just sitting on my ass."
