That is subjective. Everything can be described as being "new" unless it is an exact copy of something else, and everything can also be described as being nothing new, it's just like x, but with y if you try hard enough.
For example, stretching hard enough, autonomous cars aren't new because it's just a car with an airplane's autopilot. Or you can say it's new because they haven't been combined in that way before. Combinations usually bring they own set of problems, and require a new set of solutions, pretty much universally. And if done right, the combination together is much more than the two things separately.
Well, a quick check from my own personal amazon account shows 117 orders so far in 2013. I've talked about this with both my brother and my cousin and both of them order much more than I do, so $79 is really very little per order.
I agree. I used to shop at newegg for all my parts, but recently, I've switched to using amazon almost exclusively. Prime shipping is awesome. For 3 months this year, I also get 5% cash back when I buy from amazon using my discover card, and can redeem the cash back at checkout on my next purchase at amazon.
For the few times newegg had a lower price, I reported it to Amazon and within an hour, amazon changed their price to match. 5% cheaper, faster shipping, and I have never had a problem with returns at Amazon, ever.
As for Prime being "free", I pay it anyhow. I also use the subscribe & save, which saves me a ton in little things every month. 15% off a price that already in most cases is far lower than my local grocery/drug store (but not always). And it is delivered to me automatically monthly, which makes my trips to the grocery store that much smaller/faster (and I don't forget).
Ugh, I wish I could take that back. His first answer was correct, but his second wasn't. I guess I should have read the whole thing. Now I have egg on my face, and while it is breakfast time, I prefer it on my plate.
And I would propose, that the length of time someone is in a field alone is not a good indicator of real expertise, however, length of time coupled with a remaining desire for the field usually DOES. Since he's on a "news for nerds" site, at least when it was still one, I would have to give him the benefit of the doubt even if I didn't understand the technology, which I do, and he is correct.
I think you are confused. Have you ever taken a powershell script, right click it, and select edit. A full blown IDE comes up. Breakpoints, step tracing, call stack, interactive commands, etc. Yes, it could use a watch window, but there are other tools if you really really want to write some complex powershell scripts that integrates into Visual Studio.
It's not the same because you are forgetting that even sectors with long runs have error detection/correction bits at the end, and a TRIM will make them 0x00 (or technically, SSD trimed pages are written with all bits on, so 0xFF). In order to be able to (likely) quickly reuse that sector again, it must first be erased setting all bits on, then written by turning off selected bits. Writes can only change bits from 1 to 0, which is quick, and does not degrade the life of the sector. Erasing it however, is a longer process, and does degrade the sector.
So the users of JDownloader should file a class action lawsuit. Since each of them were inconvenienced, and it may have taken up to an extra few minutes of searching for somewhere else to download it via google, it cost each user like $2. Then use MPAA math, and it cost like $169.96 trillion dollars, and then tack on the 10x malicious penalty, and it'll come out to something like 20 times the world GDP. That sounds about right.
It has nothing to do with totalitarianism, I'd be more than happy if the townsfolk dragged your ass from your car and ran you out of town as well. I don't like pricks like you who drive around without car insurance, then when you hit someone and cause $100+k in medical bills (or more), and total someone else's car, then you declare bankruptcy and ruin someone else's life.
Well the closest station to me is about 91 miles away, making it a 182 miles and 3.5 hour round trip to fill up my tank. That's not really much of a choice.
You are an asshole, and I long for the day where police cars can actively scan license plates, pull you over anytime you get near one, and proceed to beat you for their own protection.
Nah. First, I don't think sony has to pay any fees for blu-ray, and even if they did, they hit the cap on the fees anyhow, so any "extra" is free. They just want to sell you more stuff.

Are you some kind of newegg PR AC troll? That shit don't fly here, go away.

Distributed cluster of lawn gnomes.
That isn't a real world workload. I typically see 10-30% increase from hyperthreading, which isn't nothing, but it's not a 100% speed bump either.
Can you do PHP next? Thanks.

Not nearly as bad as what Google/Motorola have been doing with theirs, namely h.264 crap.
Or Visual Studio's holding down ALT while selecting a block, or textpad's block mode?
Close, but the programmer would have likely introduced a spelling error.
is as good as TRIMmed
Negative. See any of the above explanations as to why.

Well except for the error detection/correction bits. That would be the difference.
Or if it's an OCZ Revo drive which is also an PCI-e device that's been around for years.
Windows does this for hard disks too.

Good, then I can stop paying for all the asshat drivers out there that are texting on the cell phone while beating their kids in the back seat.
