That may not be a bad idea. Forget regenerating, Matt Smith leaves some huge shoes to fill.
Why is Slashdot so much better than reddit?
Because CowboyNeal and a large chunk of his Slashdot friends is now on Reddit now looking at cat pictures, leaving Slashdot a much quieter place?
When he turns 18, he should resubmit the bug for reward, and he should get the reward as he is demonstrably the first person who found it.
The chips that come out of the fab are not 100% perfect.
While this may be true for these graphics cores, I don't think it's necessarily true for Intel's CPU chips. I think they have their design so refined that their yield is close to 100% for all but the highest density cores.
Otherwise they simply would not be able to offer multi core chips. Maybe someone in the know could comment on this.
Because the next console will be the X Box Zero ??

please renew your geek card.
Actually more like burn it. Any consistent reader of reader of Slashdot would know about Feynman at this point. Really, nerd cred goes to zero on that one.
Well said. Clearly a new generation is posting to slashdot. Because in the past when this issue has come up (as it continually does now with increasing frequency) the engineers of old would explain with numerous posts that it's impossible for the FAA or anyone else to keep track of the countless electronic devices made and assure that each and every one does not jam the systems.
But apparently the 15 year olds of today can't live for a few minutes with their devices turned off.
Even as a Microsoft hater of old, I'm beginning to feel sorry for MS.
Not really for me. Just wait until you can't boot Linux on your computer because of some form of secure boot
Also, the onus would be upon the FAA (not just the FCC) to make sure every device in the world wouldn't hurt the avionics - a now impossible task when you consider the sheer magnitude of things that have batteries.
This argument appears every few months. It just doesn't make sense to risk a bad GPS airplane reading that leads to a collision so someone can play with their phone.
I'm glad there is an apparent consensus on "cool." I just went through a recent horrible forced move and I was thinking how much of an idiot I could be for hanging onto all the really old mac stuff plus documentation.
All these need to be much easier to use than they presently are. Perhaps have a dialog for the different type of templates used.
Hackers of the world, unite!
