Comment No Nvidia Jetson TK1 board? (Tegra K1 based) (Score 1) 81

The Jetson boards are pretty easily obtained now that they are on newegg.com and a few other sites. They are real beasts, quad 2.3Ghz cortex-A15 and a GPU capable of doing compute (CUDA mostly, but OpenCL appears to be available now too). Pricey but at least they include 16GB of flash (eMMC-based) instead of forcing you to boot off a microSD card like the cheaper boards. It's a much bigger board than a RaspPi, Beaglebone or Hummingboard so probably a big turn off for some. And not a lot of case options out there, so I stuffed mine in a small plastic box meant for sandwiches.

Only if Israel ordered them to take that position. It's not likely that American citizens have sworn allegiance to Israel.

But if you've ever been married in a Catholic church, you do swear allegiance to the pope.

If a US politician takes campaign contributions from a multi-national corporation does that mean they are violating the foreign immoluments clause of the US Constitution?

Obviously yes.
They will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.

I can hardly wait until the cycle goes around and jobs are outsourced to the USA.
It will take a long time for the US to be on the bottom economically, but if we play our cards just right we can do it.

United we stand, divided we slide all the way to the bottom, pick our up sleds and hike back up to the top again.

Comment Re:You can't disprove the existence of an idea. (Score 1) 755

Saying God doesn't exist is like saying that lunch time doesn't exist, or money doesn't exist, or the United States doesn't exist.

Complete and utter bullshit. I can take you to have lunch in the United States and pay for it with money. Good luck doing anything useful or at least demonstrable with your "god".

You can't disprove the existence of an idea; and dismissing the real influence of that idea (both good and bad) and the potential influence of that idea (both good and bad) is asinine.

Nobody is dismissing the idea; they're telling you that you're a fucking idiot for believing that the idea represents reality.

Will they laugh about our superstitions about GMO foods, or why we had all these different diets?

Non-idiots have been laughing at both of those things for years now.

Perhaps we have a better method then science to understand the universe.

As soon as you find one, please, let us know! That would be the biggest boon to science in history.
