This isn't even the first time AMD has done this. Back in the Quake III Arena days, renaming Quake3 to Quack3 would change its performance on a Radeon. Slashdot covered the Quack3 case
Of course not, it is standard industry practice at this point. NVidia does the same.
Your comment helps support my assertion that the OP's market is a niche market at best. I am not an avid cyclist and had no idea there were special shirts just for cyclist with pockets on their backs. I am into fitness and workout regularly so I am not completely unfamiliar with athletic apparel.
Never watched tour de france, or other cycling event? This is where they keep water bottles if they don't empty and throw them away immediately.
All of those new features were in 5.1. 5.2 is just a few bug fixes.
Yes in the old numbering system 5.1 would have been 5.0.0, and this 5.2 is the old 5.0.1.
No, but it has to surrender its own information to the government for taxation purposes.
Much of raison d'etre for bitcoin is gone if seller is not anonymous.
Bitcoin was not designed for selling drugs, and protecting that is not a goal in itself, plus drug dealers are already breaking the law which is why they want to hide there ID, they can break VAT laws too.
I do wonder if women are shying away from the CS class because of cultural issues or the way they are treated, or if it's something like not being interested.
How would they know how they would be treated? There is no discrimination in CS on the contrary, but there are a constant stream of bullshit articles claiming there is by pointing at gender imbalances in professors and IT hires.
My first thought on that was that surely crocodiles, alligators, and turtles are also modern descendants of the dinosaur lineage. I don't think they evolved from small mammals.
No... Just like mammals are not descendants of dinosaurs. Not all prehistoric animals were dinosaurs, only the birds were. The reptile and mammal ancestors were contemporary with dinosaurs but were different groups. Think of them as respectively furry, scaly and feathered prehistoric -saurs, with the feathered being the dinos.
It's what has been dubbed "slicing tactics" around these areas. You continuously push for huge spying bills, which all get shot down, to finally get that smaller one you were actually aiming for passed, which would have no snowball-in-hell chance to pass if people weren't already used to the outrageous demands.
For reference, see pretty much any legislation concerning terrorism or copyright.
It is the door in the face sales strategy, as opposed to the foot in the door strategy where you start small and reasonable.
This wasn't an EU court. It was the UK High Court, which based it's ruling on the UK Human Rights Act, which is a UK act of parliament which enshrines the European Convention on Human Rights (a treaty which pre-dates the EU and the EC) into UK law. (Where "UK" kind of excludes Scotland. IANAL, let alone a constitutional one).
Oh thank god. I though this might be a story about an EU court that was actually about something that happened in an EU court. That never happens.
It's a Unicode bug. Unicode tries to merge different characters into a single code point, because long ago they had the same origin. This particular character exists in Japanese, Chinese, Korean and mathematics, so can be rendered four different ways, but they all share one code point.
Applications have to guess what font to use. Being a mathematical program, this one defaults to the system language (Japanese) but has logic to detect this "no" character and render it in a different font. It isn't clever enough to notice that the rest of the sentence is Japanese, but it shouldn't have to be.
The funny thing is that the same have never been done with latin letters and symbols, because that would be a mess. I really don't understand why they couldn't see it would be the same in Asian langauges.
Actually, slashcode does support Unicode, all that needs to be done for
No, it already works. It was active for a while some 10 years ago, but was removed because it was hard to sanitize. You could easily write you own comment score by reversing direction at the right time.
Still they could reactivate it if they just found a reasonable way of sanitizing features they don't want.
No, they really don't. The whole point is that critic reviews are if anything incredibly shallow, essentially little more than hipsterish circlejerks.
Well, to give the GP credit they are useful for people who want to be in on the circlejerk, and there seems to be a lot of those people.
Performance gains 10% over 6 years? They're waaay higher. 10-15% per tick maybe.
Why is this modded up?
The fastest Intel CPUs currently on the market are two years old. Current trend for the last few years is 0% per year, with no gains at all in the latest generation, but there were big improvements before that but mostly with Sandy Bridge, but that is close to being 5-6 years ago now.
It isn't just front-line soldiers that get bombed by "friendly" air-force. Secret nuclear facilities in no-fly zones at home get the friendly treatment too.
if it wasn't a valuable resource then the hotels wouldn't have bothered suing them for negative reviews.
I think you need to replace the word valuable with popular here, unless you mean valuable in the strict sense of having monetary value.
An Ada exception is when a routine gets in trouble and says 'Beam me up, Scotty'.
