This is slashdot. We clog tubes. This unfortunately appears to have clogged the news in both directions... at least until the truck finally delivered the news.
Zerg Dust Bunnies Wreak Havoc on Graphic Cards. Arcturus Mengsk had this to comment: "These dust bunnies are are obviously caused by the terrorist actions of Jim Raynor!"
"Mice that had lost the GRPR-producing neurons reacted to painful stimuli just like normal mice, licking themselves and flinching or jumping in response to heat, highly irritant chemicals and mechanical pressure."
The insight doesn't use purely electrical power. When the car moves, the engine must be on. The electric power is just like a temporary "afterburner boost".
Of course you'll void the warranty if you hook up some untested batteries. You think Toyota is going to cover replacing all the hybrid components because your 50000volt battery overloaded the 500v sized inverter? Or perhaps think about those lithium battery recalls from certain laptop makers... Do you think Toyota is going to replace your car because your after-market battery exploded and caught on fire? NO.
The Prius was NOT designed to run on pure electrical power. For example: the transmission oil pump does NOT turn on unless the gas engine is on. Driving XXX miles without lube is a recipe for disaster.
A new Prius, one that is DESIGNED by Toyota to be a plug-in hybrid is undergoing testing.
All companies want to make money. You'd be naive to think of any other purpose.
My company has a T2000, and it is slow. 1/4 as slow as the 1.2ghz box it replaced.
Everything is slower. From the tarring of files to the rsync of directories.
In order us to even return to the same performance as our old box, we had to make multi-threaded processes kick off approx 4 worker threads to handle the work.
It's not an oracle myth when your single-threaded shellscript takes 4x as long as before.
It's the equivalent of that cashier taking smoke breaks 3/4ths of the time instead of scanning my food!
Sure, I have more cashiers (8 "cores") but they're less efficient when it counts. ONLY if your stuff is multithreaded can you even have a remote chance of reclaiming your lost performance.
An even better analogy would be a highway.
A dual core processor being 2 sets of highways with a speedlimit of 120 mph and one lane per set.
A t2000 being a 8 sets of highways, each with 4 lanes per set, but with a speed limit of 30mph.
Each highway has 4 lanes, the combined speed for the highway is 120mph, but each car waits longer before getting to its destination. However, it has way more sets of highways, so the maximum throughput is higher.
But throughput isn't everything if you have to sacrifice time for an impatient customer that NEEDS to get from point A to point B ASAP.
Whats the point of a SSL offloader that can handle 32 customers, but handles each customer 4 times as long?
More efficient, perhaps. But I'd rather buy something that give me more customer capacity without sacrificing speed... especially if my SSL encryption speed is already an issue.
What Sun DOESN'T tell you is that each of those eight 1.2 GHZ "cores" are actually 4 threads (read: cores)... running at 300mhz each.
So what you REALLY get is.... 32 cores, each running 1 thread (total of 32 threads) at a speed of 300mhz. They just group four of them together and market them as a core.
Potential buyers BEWARE, and do some research first. Google the term "intel ssd fragmentation" before purchasing this drive to understand this potential long-term issue. Chances are it won't impact most people, but if you plan on using this drive to house lots of smaller files, think again.
Also Absolutely avoid using defragmentation tools on this drive! They will only decrease the life of the drive.
You and a friend team up. One member builds carriers, you use your dark archons to capture em way beyond your food limit. Imagine being the other guy suddenly swarmed with OVER NINE THOUSAND carriers (and 8 interceptors each). If you don't kill his base, it'll surely kill his computer.

Condoms should always be used when going in the back door. You never know what windows can spread if practicing unsafe sex!
In the event of a water landing, those bombs may also be used as a flotation device.
Old news, time to join us in the Cosmic Era/Universal Century time standards :)

Zerg Dust Bunnies Wreak Havoc on Graphic Cards.

Of course it says: Marblecake also the game
This is bullshit, hybrid cars should use a different metric. In theory, a hybrid could get infinite MPG.
Only if it's a plug in hybrid.
"Mice that had lost the GRPR-producing neurons reacted to painful stimuli just like normal mice, licking themselves and flinching or jumping in response to heat, highly irritant chemicals and mechanical pressure."
Poor mice :(
This case had pro-bono lawyers working for free for the defendant.
Yes! Now i can change my password back to password!

For a second there, I thought the world's biggest music pirating satellite was launched.
A dead undead. That'll be the day!
I wish I had an awesome teacher like that. Going into the movie theater in the name of education to capture a clip in the discussion about:
"the use of special effects in modern star trek movie VS the original movies."
That and a > 9000 word essay.

You know, with their secret arsenal of GUNDAMs.
Apparently you've never seen the fish that sing when you push their buttons :)
Serious Long-Term Fragmentation Problems...

Pfft, whats with all these strange names. What happened to KISS (Keep it simple stupid)?
Your not going to remember what colbert does after the alarm goes off and you need to figure out wheres the life support system.
Thus, I propose the name Life Support Module I.
I hope she used protection and lube... as well as plenty of disinfectant afterwards.
I would have shat my pants.
Pfft, that strategy is nothing.
Try this one:

Wrong, as you can CLEARLY see, his server doesn't have the 1.21 Jigawatts necessary to jump OVER the slashdot effect and into your browser.
Doubtful, as houses today aren't airtight. However, the only thing that really matters is if your spacesuit is airtight.
