Feminist hypocrites? First time for everything I suppose.

We all know prison rapes don't count. After all, only evil people are in prison to begin with.

Not all sexual assaults are rape. Way to move the goalposts. You work for the FBI?

Nobody expects the....

Wait. Wrong meme.

Looking for tools? Slashdot is the right place.

You'll notice in the second half if my post that I called the separate controller + tablet + stand gaming method CLUMSY, and praised the original Shield for including all-in-one. This is because I also agree with you that this sort of gaming is untenable, and I actually gave up and bought a 3DS about 6 months back to get my portable gaming fix.

Touchscreens suck for gaming!

Also, you'll notice I suggested the WIRED 360 controller because it's not nearly as complicated as pairing a wireless bluetooth controller. Just plug it in, and play your games...or you can sit here all day and complain about Android breaking your favorite bluetooth controller.

The sun does not shine at night. The wind does not blow all the time. Batteries suck. Anyone that makes that statement has never sat down and done the math. Solar is not base load, Wind can be base load if you have natural gas backing plants but Nuclear is great base load.

And your point is?

Games are being produced for the mainstream to high-end currently out there, so a SoC with twice the power brings nothing useful to the table. And streaming PC games requires none-of-the-above GPU power, so it's one of those questionable value cases.

Then there's also the concern about whether K1 will throttle under load, since this tablet doesn't have a fan like last year's Shield did. You'll notice that NONE of today's reviews go into that level of detail, and that's probably no accident.

Simple, low.
The greater the heat differential the greater the efficiency. To use low temperature aka low pressure would require massive turbines. BTW temperature and pressure in a gas are very related. So much so that you can almost treat them as the same thing.

With something as simple as a USB OTG adapter and a wired Xbox controller.

Believe it or not, most modern Android games already support the Xbox controller, and if you're gaming on such a tiny screen you can believe me that the wireless controller is NOT a necessity (will be 1-2 feet away at most). You can buy a $200-ish entry-level Android tablet that can handle games just fine, and reuse the Xbox controller you undoubtedly already have. So, why would you spend $300 + $100 for the same thing with an Nvidia label on it?

I'm actually disappointed that they didn't stick with the concept of the original Shield, and deliver another handheld gaming system; that alone is the only thing you cannot find in the Android world. If they insist that you use a clumsy tablet setup involving a screen prop and a separate controller, then why do we have to buy the tablet, screen prop and controller FROM THEM?

The rent is too damned high!

The quickest numbers I could find say that at the scales of large power-plants, the generator is very efficient, but the turbine not so much, around 50%. This would put the system as a whole at around 40% efficency sunlight -> electricity. That's competitive with the best solar voltaic systems tested in the lab, and 50-100% better than practical systems on the market. Assuming their system really does scale up to power plant sizes, of course.

Probably. I must be getting too old for slashdot, because I'd rather concede the point instead of arguing until my dying breath over slight nuances of words and corporate governance.

No doubt it was a different time. In addition to few external competitors, the entire world was rebuilding due to WWII and recovering from a decade of pent up desire from the Great Depression.
