It's a linear scale, buddy. For that order of magnitude, the 273 degree offset is completely irrelephant.
To be fair, it is 273.15 degrees off.

Wikipedia is extremely difficult to edit if your brain is calcified from refusing to learn anything since you finished school.
Perhaps Wikipedia isn't interested in what you have to offer then.
Then again, saving 100 ms for opening 20 pages a day for a million users means you save whole man-month each year!
I wonder how much faster the average American would have to drive to save that same amount of time.
It's going to be a great smartphone, it will be very smart, every pixel on it will be personally supervised by Bezos and you'll be able to use the smartphone for everything!
You can browse Amazon with it.
You can email to Amazon with it.
You can buy from Amazon with it.
You can sell on Amazon with it.
You can Amazon the Amazon with it.
It's so great, that they will put Amazon into Amazon because they heard that you like to Amazon while you Amazon.
Yo dawg, I heard you like Amazon....
32.2 cm is only from thermal expansion. If glaciers and ice sheets continue to melt you can probably double that.
Since going from a solid to a liquid is a cooling process (80cals/gram for water), and it takes 1cal/gram to change liquid water's temperature by a degree. Doesn't this mean that the melted ice will cool the ocean down, offsetting the rise in sea level from thermal expansion?
I guess they are trying to sell simple machines now.
What kind of qualifier is that? If the computing power was "almost unlimited" you could crack any password you want since it is essentially unbounded in its parallelism. They are obviously making some concrete assumption about computing resources (which the article does not specify, as far as I can tell).
They also make the assumption that you will not be the unlucky soul to have your password cracked on the first try.
Significant? $5.50 a month is hardly "significant".
Nor is the $30-and-change per year cost of gaming "significant"
Especially when you factor in that the gaming will keep you away from other hobbies that might be more expensive. Such as: RC airplanes/cars, porn, collecting items, cars, girls (plus you don't need to worry about having kids, which cost even more money!), along with many other things.
I'm sure it works on at least one smartphone out there. Just never seems to work too well on mine, and it's not a cheapo one either (Motorola Photon). You would think they would work on getting it to work well on other phones before starting to build their own phone.
If only he could create a website incapable of being slashdotted.
Ya... terrible title doesn't match summary or linked article. News at 11.
You wrote that at 11:43PM. Do we really have to wait till 11:00AM? I want the news NOW!!!
You must be new here. We never get the news too quickly.
But can it mine bitcoins?
I would rather they try to patch the security holes *before* we start charging people with attempted murder and murder, personally.
You can never really be certain that every security hole has been patched though, after all programming is the art of adding bugs to software.
Bad car analogy follows: A Mitsubishi Chariot with 95-octane fuel drives better than a Ferrari with sugar in the fuel tank.
The above statement, like yours, is true, but not particularly useful. Of course good speakers sound better than shitty ones in any situation.
I'm not sure about it holding true in *any* situation. There are times when I would much prefer to listen to certain genres of music on bad speakers (as in broken), than good speakers.
There should definitely be something to tell readers if an article is an April Fool's article or if it is real. Wouldn't have to be too obvious either, and could even be something like a "spoiler" button.
Anyone can make an omelet with eggs. The trick is to make one with none.
