Oh is there a minimum latency penalty for consumer based SSDs because of the extra old-layer bloat?

'Fraid not as yet. If I get enough requests (I've had one so far), then I may implement it.

Why use a PCI Express slot when you can use SATA anyway?

As a result of research like this, I created SunsetScreen to allow the user to change the screen's colour filter to *any* colour, not just a hue along the colour temperature scale. An orange tint is probably good at night for increased melatonin production, but a blue tint may be desirable during the day to increase seratonin.

I also prefer using it to Flux because you can set the exact time of sunset/sunrise instead of letting the seasons dictate it (4pm sunset in the winter? - thanks but I want the screen a normal colour at that time in the afternoon!).

Yes, the brackets are:

"Elon Musk Bailed Out of ($6bn Google Takeover To Save Tesla From 2013 Bankruptcy)" rather than:

"(Elon Musk Bailed Out of $6bn Google Takeover) To Save Tesla From 2013 Bankruptcy"

A better headline would be: "Elon Musk bailed out of $6bn Google Takeover, despite teetering on the edge of bankruptcy".

Along with the music, graphics helps a little.

However, I often find 3D makes a game worse.

Yes I meant specific impulse vs thrust.

Thanks, I saw the plot in the former book you mentioned, though the diagram is still pretty coarse (not giving specific techs), and it doesn't unfortunately extend the chart to future or theoretical technologies.

This kind of diagram summarizes perfectly why we can't (yet) create a brilliant, compact, and efficient rocket, so I expected a few more about.

You're probably a good candidate for answering this. Why doesn't a decent Ragone chart exists for rocket propulsion? I looked for ages in Google, an only found a few diagrams. It'd be amazing to see where new propulsion technologies fit on a single unified graph.

In terms of rockets. there's a trade off between fuel efficiency per kg and thrust per kg (similar to power versus energy for batteries).

So where does the technology fit on this Ragone chart?

Wow, so much effort put into the resolution, and almost none put into the latency of the device. How sad.

Why not a thorium reactor instead?

I propose increasing the number of squares to double or quadruple to drastically reduce the number of draws and discourage opening 'book knowledge' over pure brainpower. As a side effect, we may even bew able to beat the top computers gain. I wrote about such a topic on Reddit here: http://www.reddit.com/r/chess/...

Go has various board sizes. Why not chess?

It doesn't have to be an amalgamation of existing languages, but yeah, me saying 'unified' may indicate it takes the best elements from each one, which is an interesting idea, but not completely necessary.

What do you think about the advantages of a unified universal language (whether English, Esperanto, Spanish, Korean, or some other language)? Wouldn't that help everyone communicate more easily with each other?

Honestly, it's insane how ludicrously powerful phones are getting. I meant take this one article for example - 4K 120fps slow-motion video recording is coming to smartphones in 2016.

4K videoing at 120fps?! From a smartphone?

Isn't progress wonderful.
