Well then come to America before you rise up. Its not like our borders are secure.

Let me translate this for everyone:

"Yes, the government really did outlaw private space flight, and when the ban was lifted it still used its influence in order to raise barriers to entry to prevent competition with the oligarchy, but I think that it had a good reason to."

..and this true statement without the fucking spin is a far cry from negating any argument about how government held us all back yet again. The government did in fact hold us back.

The facts are that a private company can come along and get things done better and cheaper. If we were to believe the argument that the government does it better, then the government would have already done what SpaceX is doing. It didn't, therefore the government did not do it better. It had MANY decades to do so. Instead it prevented better from happening.

Well they tried to get the records but they ran into a little snag.

I nominate the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) as the independent review boards.

Article 2, Section 1 of the watergate articles of impeachment:

1. He has, acting personally and through his subordinates and agents, endeavoured to obtain from the Internal Revenue Service, in violation of the constitutional rights of citizens, confidential information contained in income tax returns for purposed not authorized by law, and to cause, in violation of the constitutional rights of citizens, income tax audits or other income tax investigations to be intitiated or conducted in a discriminatory manner.

Now STFU you ignorant fuck. Stop acting like an informed person when you arent fucking informed. It took me all of 5 seconds to get this information verbatim so that I could quote it. All of 5 fucking seconds. Thats how fucking uninformed you are. Not even 5 seconds informed.

1.6ghz, and AMD.

Even selecting a 4-core CPU at complete random from the $50 to $100 range on newegg, you are still likely to get a better performing CPU. In other words, its difficult to actually own something worse. The reason for this is that the closest desktop APU to the chip that the PS4 uses is only $49.

$49 fucking dollars.

So yes, consoles ship with "such crappy CPUs."

Above poster needs to be modded up. The fastest "duo" in single threaded performance from 2008 is the E8600.

The fastest i7 is only 85% faster at single threaded jobs.
The fastest i5 is only 65% faster at single threaded jobs.
The fastest i3 is only 57% faster at single threaded jobs.
The fastest AMD FX is only 26% faster at single threaded jobs.
The fastest AMD APU is only 18% faster at single threaded jobs.

The cost of the E8600 is $45. forty-five fucking dollars.

a speed of zero relative to the target

You seem to completely not understand the subject, which makes us wonder why you are posting. The second half of the trip is 1G deceleration.

[whisper]hey moron, velocity is not acceleration[/whisper]

For any collection of mass, if you are further from its center of mass than any part of that collection, then yes in 100% of the possible arrangements of that mass.

Also not commonly known is that when you are closer to the center of mass than any part of that collection, then you are 100% "weightless" in all the possible arrangements of that mass.

You would too if the alternative was targeted malicious acts of discretionary prosecution against your corporation. This is the government that got caught red handed sicking the IRS on the enemies off the regime, something Nixon was impeached for.

Yes you can.

It appears that you think that the additional decoder depth (multiple u-ops per instruction decoded) that CISC requires isnt a tradeoff for the additional decoder width (more decoders to equal the same effective u-ops per cycle) that RISC requires for the same performance characteristics.

You would be wrong. You are the classic example of the guy that learned one fucking little thing and then imagined an entire imaginary universe from it. Yes, Intels CISC decoders are bigger, but Intel needs less of them than RISC does for the same u-ops per cycle fed into the pipeline and Intel also doesnt need as much memory bandwidth feeding its decoders. Both of the things that RISC needs to match performance also cost the precision silicon, that one thing you knew about for CISC but amazingly were completely ignorant about for CISC. You knew one fucking thing. You imagined a universe. You blew it. You ignorant twat.

Now, simply shut the fuck up and let the REAL nerds discuss.

Nothing about RISC makes more registers inherent, and nothing about CISC makes less registers inherent. Now shut the fuck up and let the real nerds discuss.

The only locations at my place of work that do not (in theory) have cameras is the bathrooms. There are camera, with surveillance people watching them, literally everywhere. These arent shitty cameras either. They are high definition cameras with remote pitch, yaw, and zoom control.

Since this is what happens simply when people work with very large amounts of cash money, it should also be what happens when people work with very large amounts of power over folks that havent chosen to be subjected to that power.

My place of work is not a rare or exceptional location either. There are thousands of such locations in the country and hundreds of thousands of people work under those cameras 24/7/365. Each and every one of us has to be trained and licensed to do the work that we do, so the police dont have any excuses from that angle either.

I have to disagree. I think tons of things are broken in Ubuntu. They usually get the GUI right, but the underlying system is a mess, especially if you want to configure things from the command line. hostname -f has been broken for years. I like sane limits in ulimit. I agree with you on the aliases to rm. Training wheels.
