Depending on a lot of details, a game event at a random time will be visible to 120Hz players 4-16ms earlier than to 60Hz players.
After seeing it, both players' reflex time starts. For equal reflexes (no matter how slow they be), the 120Hz player's reaction will also happen 4-16ms earlier.
For most types of game logic, 120Hz player has an advantage. He shot first, reached the flag first etc.

Even more complex. Southern Germany power line capacity is limited. Assuming there is a gas shortage so that gas plants in southern Germany cannot generate electricity, it is not possible to feed that area adequately from somewhere else, e.g. northern Germany with lots of wind power. There will be prolonged power outages if the south cannot generate power locally. Lucky, there are two nukes in the south, but they are planned to shut down end of this year.

I'm currently analyzing some data using Excel. Not too big, 3 sheets with 12k rows each, and some simple formulas containing lookups. Whenever i change the input date, Excel is re-calculating things using all 8 cores of my Core i7 desktop CPU for about 30s.

Last year, I wanted to update ClearCase, because my version caused a blue-screen every few days and made Visual Studio hang for a few minutes several times per hour. As the update failed to install, I called the IT guy, who tried a lot of things. In the end, he gave up. I had no IBM Rational software installed anymore and could not install any IBM Rational software anymore. Instead of taking this as a sign, he re-imaged my PC.

Right, having to use ClearCase immediately came to my mind when reading the title. But finally, we're migrating to git later this year.

With root, you can install "XPosed framework" and "XPrivacy". This allows fine-grained control per app for lots of rights.

Only if your platform is a browser. These are the things i lately worked on, and Javascript would be of no use in any of them:
- Embedded board doing hard realtime IO signals (100us response time) and Ethernet/IP communication on a 8bit CPU with 4KB RAM
- Windows device driver for a special PCIe card receiving continuous 80MB/s data from an image sensor into system RAM.
- soft real-time image sensor processing the stream data with latency below 3ms: interpolate dead pixels, normalize gain, apply 2d band stop filter
- soft real-time image post-processing on 60MB/s stream, with latency below 20ms: illuminated area & motion detection, spatial and temporal noise reduction, multi-resolution non-linear detail enhancement processing, adjust contrast & brightness

Above processing must run on a desktop quad-core with max 40% CPU load.
It required manual threading and hand-written vector code (SSE intrinsics) to reach the performance.

An update mostly consists of a set of binaries (EXE and DLL), where the source code is only slightly changed compared to the previously shipped version.
With the process they did up to now, they shipped all altered files as a whole in an update, likely zipped, but not being based on the previous binaries.

When changing the source a little (fixing a bug, adding some functionality), the binary (DLL, EXE) changes a lot, because if one function gets slightly longer due to an added check, all following functions are moved a little to make room. As any caller references the function by address, many code places change for each moved method.
Tools like bsdiff and courgette anaylze the old and the new binary, and can encode very efficiently what has moved and where references have to be updated.
A Chromium update, where a 10MB DLL has changed (and MS would have shipped the whole file, maybe compressed to 6MB), can be encoded using courgette into a 0.08MB differential update.

Get a better cell phone plan. WinSIM offers 2GB, unlimited calls and text for 7€ / month on O2 network.

That's partly because Dell does't let you select consumer GPUs for workstations*, and partly obscene pricing for extra RAM, disk and CPU. The last workstation I needed, I was required to buy from Dell (company-forced), and when giving my build order to the IT guy, I complained how expensive Dell is. He replied, don't care, when ordering by phone and mentioning you buy lots from Dell, the price goes down to a rerasonable level.
He was right, the 2500€ shown in Dell's web shop was reduced to 1600€..

* For a development project a few years ago, I needed the GPU to support a specific pixel shader version, and DL-DVI for the 2560x1600 screen. but not much graphics power, and no CAD support. A 100€ entry-level passive-cooling gaming card would have been a good choice, but was not configurable. One only had the choice between close-to-obsolete underpowered CAD cards (150€, not supporting the pixel shader level), and power-hungry CAD cards with noisy fans (800€+).

Likely, the $370M was in 1973's dollars, which would be around $2B in 2016 dollars.

I wonder how the car got under the trailer. Is there no regulation for trailer impact protection?
In Europe, trailers are required have strong bars on sides and back of the trailer to prevent cars getting under. The sides also must have flat covers, which improve visiblity.
Here's an example: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

If you don't have line-in, look for "car fm transmitter". There are also some with BT, like "BC09 car Bluetooth charger FM transmitter".

You can also order a nice USB-powered BT audio receiver (TSBT35A24) and a cigar lighter to USB adapter from China for less than $5 shipped.

Technically, LTE goes a different rout than (W)CDMA.
(W)CDMA means several transmitters sending on the same frequency at the same time, using different modulation codes. From the sum signal, a receiver can pick out each transmitter's signal by correlating with the transmitter's code.
On LTE, transmitters never send on the same frequency at the same time. They always use separate frequencies and/or different time slots.
