There can only be so many different people.
The trick is to spot all the doubles and save on diskspace and computing power!

This idea is not exactly a new one.

Just recently there was that thing:
http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/story/2013/05/02/technology-esea-bitcoin-mining.html

The efficiency is so bad, coupled with expected user backlash, it is a dangerous joke at best.

Nowhere does it say he did not buy the book.
Most likely he did buy it.

The infringement happened, when he tried to publish text on his website. I don't see how buying the book, or buying any number of books for that matter, would have helped.

Aside from that, it is a camera.
Yet there are no pictures said camera took anywhere in the article.

When writing about an image taking device, the first thing right below the headline should be an image taken by said device.
You know, like in the old saying about pictures vs. lots of words.

Maybe the Open Source driver does not support all the same features the NVidia one does?

I mean who can see from their screen if the GPU really did all of the 100+ flashy named video processing tasks and whatever else it was supposed to do?
Maybe it flunked on a certain texture-whatever effect and did a faster, almost as good one?
Maybe NVidia puts more auxillery tasks on the GPU, like physics stuff?

How can we compare the 2 drivers, when one of them is closed? And they dont even run on the same cards for AMD/NVidia...

'People' are not me.
People have their right to do what they want. If they want the Xbox no matter what, who am I to tell them they are wrong?

I generally hate preachers and I am not going to become one over a gaming console.

No silly.
The cloud is the new floppy disk.

I know the analogy, but I always wondered how you can tell your switching-machine works, if you are not allowed to check.

As far as I can tell, the result of checking is random and it is still random after the machine 'switched' something. So nothing really happened.

Which means, no one else knew about it!
Finally Slashdot is delivering real news!

Or maybe they expect that as long as the article exists, someone may be dumb enough to edit in something really important.
Must not have happened yet.

Unlike the usual cases, the Streisand effect does not really fit here.
Sure it will happen.
But the french intelligence agency does not care about 'public attention'. They care about what information other intelligence agencies can obtain about their bases.
And if those are interested in said base at all, they will find the info wikipedia has on it, with, or without Miss Streisand's help.

I'd suspect your grammar and autism hits come from your keywords: nouns, sentences, essay, grade
These combined suggest a certain context.

As you switch them around, you lose hits that came from common verb-noun combinations and are left with only those from keywords.

What does this have to do with Occam's Razor?
Between 'someone got themselves a new pair of shoes' on one side and the whole mess that forms theist culture and worldviews on the other, which for some reasons still unknown to me leads to the spiriting away of packets in the name of god (?), I'd say the former is clearly the simpler theory.

A female one?

I noticed the same comment and it struck me as incredibly stupid.

I have my doubts about the drug thing. Why would people send their drugs in packages that look suspicious? Of course, if the post office only searches suspicious packages, all the drugs they'll find will be in suspicious packages, so mabye they feel like they are on the right track...

Now just because it is stupid, does not mean it can't be a real post office guideline.
