First all your websites have to put an annoying message at the top saying they are using cookies (duh, who doesn't).

Now this.

But what about its speed?

What on NVidia and AMD cards?

So wait, is this only about the graphics part inside the CPU or what?

Who cares about that graphics part inside the CPU. Useful for a laptop maybe, but for the real stuff you need an actual graphics card.

Create a clip of the song "I'm the operator with my pocket calculator".

> Old keyboards even have a full size spacebar instead of those almost useless Microsoft mandated keys.

They're not useless! They're the meta keys. Just stick a penguin sticker on them, use them for shortcuts and voila, over 26 convenient new shortcut possibilities!

Documenting code is useless, documenting code means something like this:

int i = 5; //Declare an integer called "i" and set its value to 5

I agree with the grandparent post that comments in the code with references to papers, the "why" or something, the design decisions, bug fix references, etc... is very useful.

Is this ever going to be used, and is this going to speed up people going to Mars?

I think that, if they NASA et al really wanted to go to Mars and actually do a mission, they'd have developed a proper space suit to match the mission pretty fast. They also managed to do everything for the Moon mission in the 60's, so ...

Seriously, that is insightful? My desk is fine, I just like to put a lot of stuff on it. It has two desktop computers, both with a monitor. Also, a 27" monitor would be so wide that at the close distance I'm sitting from it it'd make no sense. I do think that makers of consumer electronics should adapt to the furniture of the consumers, not vice-versa.

For me a 24" one at that resolution please!

27" is a bit too big for my desk.

Good thing yours is the second!

Why does the article not mention the name of the CPU? Is only its clock speed faster, or also its execution? Can we also use this CPU in consumer computers or is this for IBM Mainframes?

I just really dislike this curly, wet paper you get right after printing a big thing with an inkjet printer.

Yes, but make sure you back up any photos and other irreplaceable bits of information first!

Do not back up anything that's executable though.

Gah! Someone posted this during the same minute as me!
