Whenever Radio Shack asked me for my address I just said I wasn't interested in giving it to them. But a friend of mine did one better... he always wrote down the address of the White house and signed it Mickey Mouse. And the sales person dutifully entered it into the computer, no questions asked.

That is not a correct description. Lower frequency radio waves are no less 'quantum' or 'classical' than higher frequency radio waves. AM radios can penetrate objects primarily because they have a wavelength on the order of 400 meters (up to around 1 MHz), whereas FM radios have a wavelength of only a few meters (through around 100 MHz). The longer wavelength of AM effectively allows the radio wave to bypass even relatively large objects such as mountains.
The same effect can be seen even within your house if you have a dual-band WIFI router. The 2.4 GHz band is able to penetrate walls and go around corners and reach the second floor far more easily than the 5 GHz band can.

What morons. Sorry, but they are. They are writing to a file through the operating system which means that it is being spooled out to disk asynchronously, so obviously piecemeal writes are going to be faster because they will run concurrently with the string generation algorithm. Plus their 'writes' are probably being buffered in ram anyway.
Writes to files generally do not stall programs. These people are morons.

on the speed of your memory, and the speed of your disk, SSD's are getting more common.
No, it doesn't. Memory is faster. If they get a result saying otherwise, they are doing it wrong, and are actually just measuring the performance of the in-memory cache speeding up the simplest implementation vs the performance of their own crappy implementation.
I call BS. Before the atomic bombs, Japan's strategy was to basically arm every citizen and make the invasion of the mainland such a bloody
No, they were negotiating surrender. They were just not offering unconditional surrender, and the American leadership demanded.
2: An attack on Iran would rally every Mecca-facing worshiper to attack the US and Israel.
No, Iran are Shias. Most of the Muslim nations would love to see them gone.
3: Iran is pretty damn powerful. They sell plenty of oil to China and Turkey. Even with sanctions, they are the top producing car maker in the region.
4: Iran is no "shit-o-stan". Attacking Iran would be like attacking Germany or France, with retaliation that a First World government would return with.
No. Iran is powerful and has a serious military, but so did Iraq. The two were in the same league. Somehow Iraq's one million men under arms was still not comparable to less than 100,000 western troops.
Doesn't BBT say that men working in STEM are actually just dumb kids but women working in STEM are intelligent, rich, well respected and never put a foot wrong? Bernadette and Amy never seem to make goofs or mope around like little kids but the men are so brainless they can't even fix themselves a meal or plan a vacation, it seems. Indeed the most brilliant can't just be an amazing scientist but has to be mentally deficient. Even the supposed "dumb blonde", Penny, merely has to look at the men and she has the idiots eating out of her hand.
Now that stereotype of men in STEM maybe has a lot going for it, but holding up BBT as supporting men as cherished scientific role models seems pretty far off the mark.
That was not the point. The point was how it makes fun of people in those fields in general. Women are more sensitive to fashion subjects than men, and will be quicker to avoid those that are being made fun off.
I would love to care about it, but technologywise most of the smartwatches have sidetracked by using smartphone operating systems and hardware which gets them unacceptable battery life, and all they get in return is phone-apps you wouldn't run on your watch anyway. Smart watches should have focused on notifications and remote control of the smartphone, both with much simpler operating systems, and e-ink displays. Pebble is doing it right, but doesn't have the weight to make mainstream. Android watches are getting there, and slowly figuring ít out, but are still overkill for the form-factor.
Oh wait, no she didn't. Your argument relies entirely on ignoring the fact that from birth until college, women are explicitly and forcefully discouraged from
going into STEM fields.
No, they are not. And most sciences have a majority of girls now. Especially biologi. It is just the technology, math and physics that is left as culturally considered ungirly., and that is rarely or never discouraged explicitely and certainly not forcefully, but subtly through cultural stereotypes. For instance through the nerd black-face show Big Bang Theory.
I use links quite frequently, but I include them according to my priorities, moods, and convenience, not yours.
Your priorities as an insane lunatic, or deliberate troll doesn't mean anything to the rest of us. Site your sources or continue to be correctly and verifiably identified as a insane lunatic troll.
His statement is still true, though. Even the most right-wing liberal European parties are nowhere even close to fascism (which doesn't believe in liberties for businesses at all).
Fascist economics is an economy run by the largest corporation with the backing of the state. It is cronyism taken to its extreme. Economywise all of the west let by the US are descending towards fascism.
It can also be equipped with 16 GB of RAM (vs. max 12 GB for a T440s).
Even T420 can be equipped with a more RAM than that. Just not in the default installs. Remember I told you it is user upgradable?
