i'm just saying, if i'm a country that is unfond of the USA and had near limitless funding, plenty of ASIC designers, access to the latest IC manufacturing technology and all the warehouse and power needed, how long would it really take to crack open one of these files? i mean, how many would it take, a trillion ASICs, a quadrillion? these numbers are not out of the reach of the chinese government.
but considering it's china, with all their _successful_ hacking, they probably have most of the information already.
The most commonly used heat cycle for OTEC is the Rankine cycle using a low-pressure turbine. Systems may be either closed-cycle or open-cycle. -- wikipedia
considering the parties involved, it's obvious this is going to be a completely closed-cycle system. i'll wait until someone make and open-cycle version for Linux.
[The NSA] must trust the government to report when it improperly spies on Americans.
NO. What the NSA should trust is that the US Constitution overrides any other law in place. Something isn't "technically legal" just because it hasn't been ruled unconstitutional, that's just an excuse for getting away with criminal activities.
if you are going to be showing images of disaster areas, there are going to be dead people, possibly killed in gruesome ways. the knowledge that you are looking at something real can turn something that would be funny in a video game to be a nightmare inducing image. there are things that nobody wants to see.
if i can make a device that tells the car(s) in front of me "get out of the lane because you are about to get hit" it will all have been worth the effort.
a small heads up, the US government started wikipedia to brainwash people, 80% of the population are actually robots and you dont even want to know what the aliens do to you in your sleep.
you might as well just send the chinese govern^H^H^H^H^H^H rogue hackers a copy of all our files because with microsoft's level of security, they'll have their hands on everything in a few days.
ARM is used in X NOW does NOT mean it will be used in X in the future, in fact with 3 major consoles going X86 (PS4,XBN, and Steambox) that will be a further incentive for the handhelds to go X86 as it'll make the likelihood of ports higher
consoles go with x86_64 because of higher clock speed and frankly, they dont give a shit about power usage. however, power matters in handhelds, something atom cant compete with at all. finally, steam box is not one of the three major consoles, whatever nintendo is coming out with is going to be it and nintendo has never use x86 chips because they are expensive.
Again i never said ARM was gonna disappear, just like there are still big iron servers out there, but they will NOT be the dominate mobile chip any longer because they can't fix the IPC problem.
power is really the only thing that matters in the mobile market and x86 cannot compete when it comes to power. also, ARM is gaining traction in datacenters because it uses a lot less power and is cost effective. when MS ports finally ports their server stuff to ARM, you are going to see a landslide switch to ARM.
they can't fix the IPC problem
funny you should mention that, the main improvement made with ARMv8 is "Advanced SIMD support" and to add insult to injury, it will use even less power than the current generation.
As more and more folks do more and more with mobile they are gonna demand it perform and ARM just doesn't.
ARM isnt slacking off, they continually improve their designs. ARMv8 is going to be a very large improvement in performance (and max out at 3GHz) but if a program on your mobile device needs a 3GHz+ processor, there is something very wrong with that program.
when Win RT actually gets some decent software support (windows 9?), i'm pretty sure we will be seeing laptops that use ARM but that will probably take two or three years.
ok... so when you take young men, put them in a testosterone fueled environment and take away their access to sexual partners, is this really a surprising outcome?
perhaps you should at the very least, keep them for shorter periods of time.

just make lead ammunition more expensive than standard ammunition and something else that is also lead-free even more expensive. ordinary people will take either the cheap ammunition or the "high quality" ammunition (naturally what's most expensive) and idiots will buy lead ammunition and poison themselves a little bit at a time.
it's amazing that we cant seem to fund a universal healthcare system that would help sick people but we magically have all the money in the world to spy on said sick people.
japan knows better than anyone that a little radiation never hurt anyone and dont worry about the inevitable creation of Godzillas from the radiation because they have Mechagodzilla. </sarcasm>
a few notes: - RRAM (aka ReRAM) is memsistor based RAM - super simple design - requires less power (lower voltage too) than FLASH and racetrack memory. - 10ns switching (faster than DDR some DDR RAM) - 1 trillion write operations according to US startup Crossbar - possibly scaled down to 2nm (when they invent the manufacturing process)
so if this really works out, it may be a replacement for RAM and FLASH memory in lots of stuff. i'm not sure if this includes computers but at the very least, it could be used to retain data on RAM sticks (hopefully directly on them) when you turn off your PC.
there isnt a single thing that everyone will like or approve of.
let's say you change it do you have to answer a simple addition math problem. what you get is someone crying, "i have to answer 5+8?! but i dunno maths you insensitive clod!"
mod parent up. proven BCIs like Emotiv's are already out and your programs can talk to it using a lib. it's already been used to help quadriplegics, so it's not some dive into the unknown.

To me the fact that we all eventually drop dead is not a bug, it's a feature. It's the only way we rid our society of old assholes! -- Lewis Black
it's not "pure creative license," it's revisionist history.

But this new study, published in PLOS ONE, shows that video gaming can also affect higher-level cognitive functions.
do you really believe studies from a magazine that cant even spell it's own name right.
if i can make a device that tells the car(s) in front of me "get out of the lane because you are about to get hit" it will all have been worth the effort.
this seems all too easy to manipulate.

I'm sorry but in less than 3 years ARM is gonna be toast so anybody who invests in ARM is a fool.
do you have a smartphone, a tablet/iPad, an iPod/iPhone or a PS Vita? well then you must be a fool!
ARM processors are in over one billion devices which is more chips than Intel and AMD have sold together. you dont know shit about processors. :)

or we could go with a name that doesnt suck like Memdisk.
