The security wonks find it strange that a person might actually have more than one employer at a time.
That's because it is strange (at least for IT jobs, not McJobs). Having multiple clients at a time, however, is not.
The cops don't come out into the rural parts of the country, and throw concussion grenades into cribs, killing little babies. They only do that in the cities
You really have no clue what the fuck you're talking about. It sounds like you're referring to the recent incident in Georgia, but somehow assumed it was in Atlanta instead of rural north Georgia where it actually occurred. This article about it even has a depressingly-long list of instances where police used grenades like that, including instances in places like Wyoming and Montana.
The cops are goddamn thugs that are out of control, and encouraging private gun ownership is (part of) the answer, but the idea that rural cops suck any less than urban ones is laughable.
Getting divorced isn't dumb luck, you know. The divorce rate "on average" may be 50%, but that's because you're averaging together poor uneducated people who got married as teenagers (high likelihood of divorce) with rich educated people who got married in their 20s (low likelihood of divorce). I'm still over-simplifying, of course, but I assume you get the idea.
Can't you just use the newer compiler, but turn off the optimization?
And even if you don't agree that it should be legal for recreational use, it's blatantly fucking obvious that it does in fact have legitimate medical uses, meaning its current status as a DEA Schedule I drug simply factually and scientifically wrong.
ARM itself might not count, but Samsung, Apple, and all the other folks manufacturing ARM-licensed chips probably.
So, is your backup NAS located in a different physical location than your main NAS?
We haven't done it in awhile because it's usually boring. Like, half of us are gonna fall into one of two categories:
- 1) Something like 4 or 5 years old that still works fine for whatever we do.
- 2) Something newer and probably mid to high-end which will allow us to give answer 1 in 4 or 5 years.
Exactly.
I fall mostly into the first category:
The closest thing to interesting is that I just decided to upgrade to 4K, so I'm having to replace my video card (a Radeon HD 4850) even though it's fast enough, just because it doesn't have the right ports to output a high enough resolution. I'm replacing it with a Radeon R7 260X because that's (as far as I know) currently both the best performance per dollar card right now, and pretty much the cheapest available with DisplayPort 1.2 (to do 3840 x 2160 x 60p). I'll be using it with a Quasar SQ4201U TV that I got for $300, and will be limited to 30 FPS until DP 1.2 -> HDMI 2.0 adapters come out in another few months. (If I'm running a full-screen game I'll run it in 1920x1080 mode for better framerates, both because the interim HDMI 1.4 connection can't handle 60 FPS and because the card wouldn't be fast enough rendering newish games at 4k anyway.)
I have no plans for a new CPU until after AMD Zen comes out, at the earliest.
That's because R2D2 is a portable device. Fixed holographic projectors in Star Wars were shown to have a much larger projection area (e.g. the star map in the Jedi academy, the communications devices on starship bridges in The Clone Wars animated series, etc.).
Of course, Star Wars projectors' resolution and color depth sucks, and WTF is up with the analog-looking static?!
With 4K, I can watch 225 144p cat videos at the same time!!!!
I can haz a beowulf cluster of cheezburger!
Ditto. I just bought a 42" 4K TV to use as a monitor ($300 at Brandsmart USA, by the way), and it's going to be great. (I use future tense because I'm still waiting on Newegg to deliver my new video card capable of driving it, so it's running at 1080p until Thursday... and even then, it'll temporarily be 30FPS until somebody comes out with a DisplayPort 1.2 -> HDMI 2.0 converter in a few months).
Anyway, for those who don't understand why 4K is great, the key is not to think of it as a sharper "regular monitor," but rather as four freaking monitors in an array, but without the bezels getting in the way. I couldn't care less about gaming in 4K, but I do care about (for example) being able to see my IDE, the interface of the appplication I'm developing, and a couple of browser windows at the same time without overlapping. Or four 1920x1080 VM or remote desktop windows. Or a 1920x1080 video, 1920x1080 game, and a couple of web browsers.
Old CRTs were great: I had one that did something like 2048x1536 with real 24-bit color 15 years ago! Sure, it took up my whole desk, weighed a ton and sucked power, but it had a better picture than most of the flat panel monitors I've had since (and way better than the average shitty monitor that comes with people's Dells!).
Meanwhile, their 1080p 5" phone has a dot pitch 10 times their 1080p TV and they don't go "man, I wish the screen was lower resolution."
That depends. Would having less resolution get me better battery life? If so, I'll take it!
First of all, there is nothing for which Javascript is "good enough" but Logo isn't! (In fact, the last three words are unnecessary...)
