I'll never play this, but I'm sure some people will enjoy it very much. I continue to wait for Titan.

No, there still is. It's just in little pieces all over the place now. It's a lot harder to render THAT than a bar of something.

As an avid amateur photographer I once tried lower-end, slower SD cards. The wait between shots of ~1 second (disregarding the camera buffer) means you cannot even preview your shots during that time. Instead you get to wait with a nice blinking LED on the back of the camera until the preview is ready. I found this nearly unbearable after only a dozen or so shots and when I got a chance I immediately spent the money on a faster card that allows previews basically immediately. NOTE: I am using a D800, so your mileage may vary on this... with 36mp RAW files I was waiting several seconds to just preview a shot.

Using your cheap DAC in that tablet to play music is practically a crime, or should be. It's going to sound terrible. There are some decent DACs out there for $99 that can run via Android with some customization. I realize this is more than the cost of your tablet... but seriously man, the sound is world's better.

A person in a position of power abused that power? Well color me surprised! I'm sure this has everything to do with DHS and nothing at all to do with the fact that every imaginable authority organization has had people who abuse their power since the dawn of time. Why is this news? Pursue your problem, get it resolved... But this is not "news for nerds" by any reasonable stretch of the imagination.

Nintendo is not really about technology as much as innovative, fun games, for the whole family.

Look, how surprising is this really? I'd say about as surprising as the sun rising. Our cultural icons don't just cheat (think performance enhancing drugs) but when they are caught the repercussions are so minor (at least as portrayed by the media) that it makes cheating almost mandatory because everyone does it and when things are competitive or, say, graded on a curve, you're kind of screwed into following suit.

Connectivity is great but I want automation. I want to be able to wake up to a couple perfectly fried eggs and some bacon next to buttered toast. Thanks science.

It's not really about cores... per se. Titan, which is faster than Sequoia, has about one third of the cores. ( I realize you just wanted to say something related to the number 4 to point out the weirdness that is being able to name yourself perfectly in line with the UID you should have randomly been assigned... to which I say... wtf how)

I believe Wikipedia still lists this as the world's fastest... which is in fact false. That title currently goes to ORNL's Titan.

You know.... you could just interpret it outside of relative calendar restrictions as "within a week, a month, a year".

Because, like, that's what everyone else is probably doing :D

...considering how tight this beam was, and that you'd have to be pretty much directly in its path to intercept the transmission.

If an extremely hot girl caught you under a mistletoe would you let her kiss you? Yea? Hypocrite! You should just get all mad and tell her how much of an anti-merry badass you are. (just kidding, I know how you feel)

Ten years seems excessive, yes, but I'm sure he'll get out in a couple years or so if he's a non-violent inmate. Read more about what he did... it's quite a laundry list of abhorrent behavior.

All of those 'cons' that are listed as problems with MMORPGs, you know, like questing and gear progression, are actually things that people enjoy, as long as they're designed fairly. See GW2 as an excellent example of this.
