I definitely do not have more cores than I can use. Intel just needs to get off their butt and start shipping processors that measure cores in multiples of dozens.
No we don't. There is nowhere in the United States that is a "constitution free zone". That's just media blowing something up out of proportion. There are cases where the border patrol oversteps it's bounds, but that doesn't mean you don't have the rights afforded you by the constitution. Worst case is it escalates up to a court, the court sets it right (through due process). It's not perfect, but it's easy to point and say that's not perfect when you aren't charged with coming up with the "perfect" solution.
You detain and torture people in prisons with little to no judicial oversight or recourse.
And? These aren't American citizens, on a military base, and (mostly) classified as enemy combatants in a war. What OTHER country sends war criminals through their normal judicial system? None. Oh, and you are talking about 780 people.
Your own president has executed a citizen under the guise of terrorism overseas by air-strike without any due process.
Enemy combatants in war. Sucks to be them.
Your idea of due process when you think you get it happens behind closed doors in secret courts.
Just because it is behind closed doors and not open to public scrutiny by itself does not make it less of a due process. Not all trials and decisions necessarily need to be a media spectacle. It does make it harder to prove (or disprove) improper behavior, but that doesn't make it so. I'm not claiming the system is perfect, but just better than the alternatives.
And even when someone in power occasionally has an idea that is positive to your freedoms it gets struck down in congress, in the white house, or better yet just simply gets done anyway without oversight by a three letter agency.
That's your opinion. Feel free to voice your opinion and vote for change.
In the U.S., a quarter of all accidents involving pedestrians happen while a vehicle is making a left turn.
Let me guess, a quarter of all accidents involving pedestrians happen while a vehicle is making a right turn, a quarter of all accidents while a vehicle is going straight, and a quarter of all accidents while a vehicle is in reverse?
I have/had a 11-drive NAS using those drives. I have 2 drives left. 2 were replaced twice. So I started with 11, have 11 dead, with 2 still working. That's some bad stuff.
And I have 6 SSDs currently, none of which have failed. On the other hand, I also have 13 rust buckets (working), and I'm approaching a graveyard of about 11, all of which are less than 3 years old. Some of which just instantly died.. No SMART, no warning, just dead. Some died during a power cycle and didn't come back. Average time to death for the rust buckets is about 1 year. Some drives have been replaced twice already (The replacement was replaced). The SSDs are about 4 years old on average. I'd have seagate repair them, but the cost of shipping them to seagate and back, and then getting a drive I know will die again shortly just isn't worth the cost. Just replacing them with another model as they die.
All drives are kept cool, on a top tier power supply which is connected to a UPS. So it's neither a power problem, nor a cooling problem. And the replacement rust buckets aren't dying. So your theory of how awesome and bulletbroof rust buckets are, is just a anecdote is they are susceptible to crappy failure rates and instant death syndrome that you describe.
I'll take the SSD write "problem" any day. Rust buckets just like anything else are a crap shoot. I bought the wrong model from the wrong manufacturer. Oddly, the rust buckets are mainly write-once, read seldom, while the SSDs get pounded consistently yet it's the rust buckets that are dying.
Actually, in MOST states, it is illegal to be driving in left lanes with cars behind you. As a law abiding car, it would likely move over like people should.
IANAL, but there was a case a while back that a judge used that reasoning to allow something that otherwise would not have been. It was crazy then, and still is, but that is what happened.
What is your definition of independent? Independent from whom? Cause the rest of your post sure sounds like they are independent -- just not representative of what you want them to be.
Not a real big fan of html5test.com. The weight they assign things are very chrome favored. Just as an example, they list stupid things like:read-only,:read-write twice, and 2d blend modes (7 points) which favor Chrome, but useful things like video track and audio track selection are weighted very little (4 points).
You get paid what you are worth. If you aren't, go elsewhere. If you can't find an elsewhere, you were getting paid what you were worth, and you think too much of your skills.
I'm over 45, and have absolutely no problems getting hired. But then again, I don't just sit on my butt thinking the stuff I knew 20 years ago is highly relevant either. Always learning new stuff, always pushing the boundaries of what I know. Be the best, or die trying.
Bought most from Amazon. They were packaged well, most ran for months without issue. All drives are on a UPS, and two separate power supplies. Failures on both power supplies, while not a single failure yet from the VN000 series that replaced the dead DM001 drives.
I've recovered from failed motherboard RAIDS, but I bought and replaced it with an Intel Raid controller. Different versions, both both were by intel. Absolutely no problems, just reconnect, configure, and boot.
I think most experienced users know that if a drive is going to fail it will probably do so very early after purchase or years later,
Depends on the drive. I just replaced the 10th or 11th drive in a 13 drive raid array last weekend (3-4 drives remain, because 2 of the replacements also died). All those drives were 6 months - 18months old. The raid array is my own personal array, and doesn't see high volumes of traffic and all drives were originally of the ST3000DM001 model.
You want less traffic deaths? When the light turns red have spikes come up from the ground right before the crosswalk. People will learn to stop before the crosswalk, or they will go broke repairing their car.
Have the people in Dallas been demanding twice as much water per second while lowering the cost per gallon every year? No? So they haven't had to change their infrastructure consistently. Not exactly the same thing. They just maintain it.
If I recall correctly, the P4 was the first chip to allow multiple simultaneous execution. The new compilers just reordered instructions it knew the P4 could execute at the same time (a 100% speed increase). That is what lead to the huge increase in performance. You are most likely misremembering how intel's compilers wouldn't use some of the more advanced techniques on AMD chips because some of the AMD chips lied and didn't correctly implement the features they claimed they did -- which led to poorer performance than they might otherwise.

Not even by head count. 1.5 billion people can speak English, contrasted to 1.0 billion can speak "Chinese".
I think Chinese is the only language we need, it's already the most spoken language in the world.
That is false. English is the most spoken language in the world. Chinese is the most popular primary language.
This has what to do with the conversation?

The website works just fine. Perhaps you should contact noscript, ghostery, etc and complain their stuff breaks stuff.
Wow, you fearmonger much?
You have declared "constitution free zones".

Ok, in rebuttal, I point to yahoo comments for millions of examples of dumber reasoning.

What if I live in Chicago, but only use netflix while out of state?
You are not alone. I'll retire before going to management, which hopefully isn't that far away.

That would be incorrect. I've bought 13 of those drives. So far, 9 of them are dead. None of them bought through newegg.
