Me too, but many of the posts in this thread remind me of why I left.

I'd suggest a new strategy. Let the droid win.
So is it somehow connected to the web? If not, why not just call it a camera?
More like one adapter. iPads have a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The College Board, who make the AP tests among other things, allow a lot of different calculators--not just TI.

Why not use true random number generators and avoid the need for hashes and secret seeds?
I meant to check the "post anonymously" box on that. oops!
28 cores? That must fly. Imagine a Beowulf cluster of them!
Their own words:
"We don't want people to have to focus on bits and bytes and feeds and speeds. We don't want people to have to go to multiple [systems] or live with a device that's not integrated."
This is like a car manufacturer saying "we don't want people to focus on horsepower or cylinder volumes or top speeds" Sheesh.
Not quite. Google "feed and speed" and see what comes up. They are terms from machining that involve configuring tooling to get a job done. If you want to turn or mill a piece of metal, you can't just throw it on a machine, hit a button, and everything just works. You need to know the proper feed rate and spindle speeds to use. These depend on several factors, including the material being machined, the type of cutting tool (carbide vs high speed steel), dimensions of the material and tooling. Cook is saying that Apple likes to hide all that from the user so they can just get the job done.
Rather than explaining who he is, I'll point you to a comment from a previous story on Donald Knuth.

Not a rigorous proof, but here's my favorite explanation:
for any positive integer k, the binary representation of 2^k-1 consists of k 1's. If k is even, this is an even number of 1's lined up together. Since 3 is 11 in binary, you can divide 2^k-1 by 3 and get a quotient of the form 10101..01.
e.g. 2^10 = 1111111111=11(101010101)
Stupid git!
Here's a commercial for one from the 80's.
You can read the Official Lego guidelines for cleaning lego bricks. They say not to put them in the laundry machine or dishwasher.
mind you, pointed in the wrong direction, space is up, not sideways.
To get into orbit, you need more sideways speed than up speed. Look up Newton's Cannoball.
