  1. Re:What's a decent upgrade for my 2600k? on Intel Officially Reveals Post-8th Generation Core Architecture Code Name: Ice Lake, Built On 10nm+ (anandtech.com) · · Score: 1

    Wait for the benchmarks and stuff, but at least in terms of single core performance, intel been stuck for quite a while, most likely because AMD had nothing to actually threat em with.

  2. Re:We need to get with the times. on Behind the Hype of 'Lab-Grown' Meat (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1, Funny

    The planet is a lot more resistant than you think.
    It needs something like freeza to actually kill it, and he will take several hours to do so, despise the 5 minute claim.

  3. Re:What about left-wing extremists? on Discord Bans Servers That Promote Nazi Ideology (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    It's not an organized group exactly, but part of the BLM etc..

  4. To make the US internet good.

    Except they kinda are.
    On the left you have a fringe group that want to actually exterminate all whites and a bigger group that cheers for "the whites not being a majority anymore" and do things to speed up the process.
    While on the right, you have a fringe group that want to exterminate the blacks and jews and a bigger group that cheer for expelling the immigrants etc..

  6. Re:Can godaddy get sued discrimination / censorshi on GoDaddy Expels Neo-Nazi Site Over Article On Charlottesville Victim (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Given the fact it is an actual neo-nazi website, they probably don't have exactly a good case here.
    Stormer is not exactly your provocateur right wing breitbart thing.

  7. Re:time and distance scaling on Astrophysicist Believes Technologically-Advanced Species Extinguish Themselves (sciencedaily.com) · · Score: 1

    I think that even with FTL, it's still very hard to find a planet with life on the middle of nowhere.
    Also there is the factor of "why bother?"

  8. Or use some decent memory allocation library.

  9. And gets even worse.. on Disney Ditching Netflix Keeps Piracy Relevant (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    As the disney streaming service will be available only in 2019, which is basically 2 years of not having any sort of streaming service with disney movies.

  10. Re:And it still sucks at gaming on Preview of AMD Ryzen Threadripper Shows Chip Handily Out-Pacing Intel Core i9 (hothardware.com) · · Score: 2

    Gaming on intel vs AMD is a quite bizarre complex case.
    If you check this digitalfoundry video:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
    You will see that intel or AMD victory depends a lot on not only the game, but what the game is doing.
    Crysis 3 for example gets the best performance on the intel chips while only displaying some characters on close up, but as soon the camera pans to action with grass, helicopters, explosions etc, the AMD part starts to win and hard.

    Also you only get a significant difference IF you're not getting bottlenecked by the GPU, which is the case even with a geforce 1060.

  11. The Zen architecture IPC is pretty much on par with the Core one as long you're not using the intel AVX extensions.

  12. It's not your typical whining screaming 20's something with dyed hair that frequent starbuck, but your typical whining screaming 30's something with suit that frequent microsoft.

  13. Re:Cue the doubters, every step of the way on Hyperloop One's Full-Scale Pod Reaches 192 MPH In New Nevada Track Test (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    For every successful "pie in the sky" project, there are 100 that failed horribly but nobody remembers BECAUSE they failed horribly.
    Just ask RCA about their CED systems.

  14. Re: Reasonable to whom? on O'Reilly Media Asks: Is It Time To Build A New Internet? (oreilly.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes, it's quite hard to compete with a mob of white rich people using their powers to get cheap "colored labor" and using useful idiots on a marxist cult as a shield.

  15. Medical system abuse on Tech Leaders Speak Out Against Trump Ban on Transgender Troops (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    As far i know, this was done to stop people from joining the army, getting a free sex change operation and leaving the army.
    Trump tried the saner "just block pentagon from paying for sex surgeries" approach first, and it got blocked, so this is the end result.

  16. Re:Wait, what about CIA and NSA on Microsoft Launches A Counterattack Against Russia's 'Fancy Bear' Hackers (thedailybeast.com) · · Score: 2

    When they use a microsoft or google trademark on one of their operations and the operation leaks.

  17. Re:Ask Slashdot: on EU Court to Rule On 'Right to Be Forgotten' Outside Europe (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    Of course.
    As soon they get that neat EU army they want and use it to enforce their thing worldwide.
    They could even use it to get Britain back to EU!

  18. A multibillionaire game of hot potato.

  19. Sample of one on Ask Slashdot: Why Do So Many of You Think Carrying Cash Is 'Dangerous'? · · Score: 1

    You never been robbed (yet) is not proof that it does not happen.

  20. Getting some lunar dust back as well would be nice, as nasa needs this thing to research their landers etc.. and the artificial thing is not as good.

  21. Re:Tip #1: on Ask Slashdot: How Safe, Really, Is Paying For Things Online? · · Score: 1

    That's quite an AT&T vs Verizon situation.
    It's a shame some industries like this got a quite bad duopoly.

  22. When everything not called desktop PC uses it... on Linux Is Not As Safe As You Think (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Some ought to try to exploit the system.

  23. Re:There is much, much worse! on 'Call For a Ban On Child Sex Robots' (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Given the my little pony fanbase, i am surprised there's no huge line of robotic sex ponies yet.

  24. There's nothing stopping women from playing video games, and they do it.
    But they generally avoid AAA titles because they're generally in for a quick and addictive fun, not a massive boring cutscene fest with shallow gameplay.

  25. Or alternatively... on HP Answers The Question: Moore's Law Is Ending. Now What? (hpe.com) · · Score: 1

    We start to megazord the chips, kinda like those HBM memory modules, but for several things like cores,GPUs or even lower level components like ALUs and pipelines etc..
    Of course, we're talking about a cooling and interconnecting hell here, but probably will be more economically feasible than trying to make sub atomic transistors.
