Wow, an ad for a nVidia product posing as a slashdot article... this is, unfortunately, getting more and more common.
If stories about new tech devices isn't what belongs on
The PC market is hardly dying. That's a tired old trope by now. They said the same thing about mainframes. Guess what? People still buy them. The landscape is changing for sure, but the PC market is not even close to 'dying'.
It's interesting in that it makes the difference between the Universe dying a cold death with nothing left but black holes and burned out stars, or essentially a 'big rip' where all baryonic matter ultimately decays.
The last two options seem somewhat redundant.
Not even a little. One can disconnect/unplug once in awhile without being a Luddite.
Nothing last forever. Absolutely nothing,
Protons might. Nobody has observed proton decay yet. They could well last forever.
That's your prerogative of course, but it's so easy, and a lot of fun, to cook simple, tasty, healthy meals.
A good case could be made for electing them to Congress.
They would be overqualified.
I wonder if that was long enough to produce lush gardens with apple trees.
That's silly. Everyone knows that happened only 6,000 years ago!
Twice the cores and twice the RAM for less money seems pretty damn cost effective to me.
Who said anything about cheap? I certainly didn't. I wouldn't recommend one of the cheap ones really, but something like a Nexus, Kindle Fire, or Asus Transformer makes a great tablet and is far more cost effective than an iPad. A man in his 70's is probably less likely to care about the only real reason to spend money on an iOS device, which is having the new shiny so one can look cool like the other kids in class.
Sure, an iPad, if the OP wants to spend twice the money that he has to. A decent Android tablet using large fonts or even a replacement launcher would be perfect.
I expect other nations to do the same, just like I expect the other team to try to score against mine. I'd be a hypocrite otherwise. Are you?
Just being a non-US citizen doesn't make a person a foreign power. Spying on the governments of other countries, fine. Spying on the citizens of other countries is just as bad as spying on US citizens.
No, it's not. It's their job to spy. I have no problem with it. Who do you think the actors are in countries foreign to the US that our intelligence agencies are interested it? They are citizens of said foreign powers.
Bank of America is always looking for new ways to screw over their "customers", be it through fees, lying, or trying to steal their (paid off) houses through foreclosure (and blaming it on "computer error" when caught). They're probably drooling like hungry dogs over all the ways they can fleece people with Bitcoin...
I'm afraid that Bank of America is not the ONLY bank which screws their customers.
In fact, I have yet to find a bank which has failed to screw their customers.
I've never seen USAA do it. I'll be a customer for life. From their insurance products to their banking and my mortgage they've always acted with nothing but the highest standards of customer service.
Today is a good day for information-gathering. Read someone else's mail file.
