Riley Cooper sorry for racial slur

Coincidentally, I think you may have just proved his point :P (though it's a weak point, I agree) We're allowed to say one but not the other. The reason for that is that we're told that words are off limits, and certain words are especially off limits. I called a gay friend a 'total i love you' one...

Riley Cooper sorry for racial slur

And mods, apparently. That's the biggest problem with racism in this country, I think. We can't even bring ourselves talk about it because we put offensive language, regardless of how it's used, completely off limits. It's beyond ludicrous and as a result sweeps the issue under the rug...

Riley Cooper sorry for racial slur

Yes, actually. The episode was about an incident much like this and even including the sob story afterward to stop the bleeding. And why even bother deleting the image? It's only racist in a person's twisted perception of what it's meant to portray, when in fact what the image -- and the entire...

intel ivy bridge-e price

I definitely agree with you, but with Intel focusing primarily on that ~20W area for their big core architectures, it's inevitable that anything above that and on the extreme end of the TDP spectrum (I can't believe 100W is now extreme...) is inevitably going to get shafted. The Core i7-4650U...

intel ivy bridge-e price

The Itanic sank long ago, IDC. Intel has been making sure of that by slowly poking holes in the hull :D I wouldn't count Knights Ferry a CPU architecture. That's more of a co-processor architecture for HPC, serving (roughly) the same purpose as the high-end GPUs for GPGPU. Haswell is the...

AMD extends Jaguar soc to 6W for fanless designs

I was scoping that dockable tablet out earlier. It's only about 5 hrs battery life undocked, but there's an additional battery with the keyboard dock. Still, $500 for an Android tablet with a keyboard+battery seems like it's too pricey. I'd rather just get a laptop and a Nexus 7

That's not true as it's mostly derived from location and the sheer amount of McD's. Those didn't spring up overnight, but it's taken decades. To be more factual and relevant to the discussion you'd have to assert that McD's has, over a period of decades, been more successful than other chain...

The purpose of the ultrabay slot isn't just to hold the GPU, but it also doubles as a DVD/Blu-ray slot and can even accommodate an additional battery. The Y500 actually has two ultrabay slots meaning one can have SLi on a laptop via ultrabay GPUs. eGPUs make the most sense for people who use a...

Lenovo's Y500/400 have ultrabay slots that you can plop a GPU into. The above is a way better solution. Having a standardized slot that manufacturers can accommodate for would be even better.

[Digitimes] Kaveri delayed

Trinity's not a bad chip at all, and I think that needs addressing despite the obvious digression :P So let's spin that around some and get it back on track. The Llano delay was most certainly GloFo's fault. There are no ifs, ands, or buts about it - GloFo screwed up big time on 32nm and that...

[AT] Samsung overclocking Octa-core to get better benchmark performance

A cache dump, I believe. big.LITTLE implementations are supposed to have a cache coherency interconnect that allows cross access and core migration. Samsung's 8-core Exynos essentially has to dump the cache when switching between the two sets of cores (A7 to A15 or A15 to A7) and as a result...

[Digitimes] Kaveri delayed

AMD had the original Temash/Kabini on GloFo's 28nm (HP-m?) but it was late so they went to TSMC. AMD also had Llano on time but GloFo was late with a viable 32nm process. Moving Jaguar-based chips back to GloFo would be like shooting yourself in the foot, and then shooting yourself in the other...

^^ Very true. My father runs a carpenter/cabinetmaking business and I do most of the drafting and client-related work. The average salary for a union carpenter is often higher than the people who hire them for work - usually 70k+. If you run your own shop and have both union work and private...

[Digitimes] Kaveri delayed

That has much to do with the longterm WSA agreement that will see AMD and GloFo joined at the hip for another decade. Coupled with the agreement, GloFo has been both late and capacity-constrained on their 45nm, 32nm, and now 28nm nodes. The 'screwing' is going to be at the 20nm and...

With horrendous yields and low capacity. There was some buzz around AMD losing the Apple contract because they couldn't get enough Llanos to supply Apple with MacBooks. It wasn't until the second half of the year that GloFo's 32nm was sufficient enough to see any products out of it. What's the...

It extends past meditation, though. Any exercise that puts you in a meditative state will provide the same benefits. I'm inclined to call it a case of 'placebo effect' but the truth is that it's not that easy. Yes, you can see derive the same positive aspects of meditation or yoga or even...
