Why would a 300 mm lens be critical to Samsung's success? It's too long for portraits, especially on a APS-C sensor.

IIRC, samsung cameras don't have mirrors, and therefore are not DSLRs.

Ars technica reference for memory pressure

Not necessarily true. A free market solution might disproportionately benefit the very wealthy for example. That's not a priori bad, but it would certainly be a stretch to call it representing the will of the majority of the people.

One more, thing, the mac uses compression to avoid swapping-- CPU cycles are cheap, IO cycles are expensive.

see this ars technica article for an explanation-- yellow might actually mean--"compressing" and red might actually mean "swapping," though In any event, using 7.99 GB out of 8.0 GB (my situation), is perfectly normal.

Oh No, I'm using 9.5 MB of swap! Whatever shall I do?

On the Mac, free ram is wasted ram. If it's not otherwise assigned, it usually gets used as cache.

Apple keeps changing the activity monitor around, but in the latest-- Yosemite, there's a little plot that shows "Memory Pressure". If it's green, don't worry about it. If it's yellow, you are actually running out of memory, and might want to quit some processes. If it's red, the machine is swapping to disk, and if you are still using spinning rust, this can mean a massive slowdown.
Seriously, that's how it works

You have 4K Blurays? I have quite a few, and I've not encountered a single disc that offers more than 1080p.

2.5 inch SSDs are plentiful.

From what I've heard, i7-4790k is a real screamer... It really does depend on whether you can use more than 4 cores.

Somebody has to write the code associated with

#define MAXIMUM_BATTERY_LIFE 1

It's akin to writing a scheduler-- some algorithms are efficient, some are not so efficient.

I just watched it on my Roku3, and I have to say I really enjoyed it. Hopefully it will get enough votes for Amazon to make the rest of the series.

I came here to moderate, but unfortunately slashdot's bug initiation team has made it so I either have to have teeny tiny print or a side scroll. Hey, slashdot, we aren't all using thirty inch monitors! Jesus, even the newspapers (most are the worst sites on the web) don't fuck up this bad.

Really, slashdot, is Dice trying to get rid of you? This is really lame. You really should hang your heads in shame.

See you at Soylent News.

Now, someone else with points please mod me offtopic. Thanks.

ASCII is fine if it's only going to be published at slashdot, but conversion is a pain in the ass I shouldn't put up with.

It seems that slashdot no longer fixes bugs, but are trying to introduce more. Today I have a choice between a tiny font and a side scroll. LAME!

I think the writing was on the wall over a year ago when they tried to shove Beta down our throats.

I miss Taco, the place worked when he was here.
