I don't mean diminishing returns in terms of profit. I am speaking about performance. For the vast majority of consumers, the added processing power in these advancements does next to nothing for them...hence, diminishing returns.

Agreed. It is pretty silly actually. Moore simply looked at the trend and said, "Oh, the number of transistors has doubled about every 2 years! I think this should continue for at least the next 10!" And thus, Moore's "law" was made.

Yea, of course the upper tiers skew this average a lot. They should have done percentages.

While it is not Origin, Humble Bundle offers a considerably better deal that Playstation Plus. First, you get to keep the games that you buy. Second, Humble bundle typically gives you ~5 (not including games for beating the average) which you can get for $1. So for about $52 a year, you get over 250 games that you…

Hah, I didn't even pay attention that they do provide which questions would a point - I just assumed those were my answers. Weird, not sure how the results are used then but who knows.

I scored an 8.

Maybe. But he is on speakerphone, and I don't think it was really relevant to the accident. The guy blew the red light several seconds late (the green arrow was on for 2 seconds before this guy turned) and they would also have the better perspective to avoid the accident. I'm not quite sure how the PT Cruiser didn't…

Haha, mind = blown.

And that's the result when the pool was 98 heroes. Now it is at 107 which is 8,854,617,997,445,220. Just with the addition of 9 heroes it jumps up by a multiple of 5.

Short amount of combinations? You aren't talking about League, right? I play Dota 2 personally, but League has 119 'champions' and every match is 5v5. Go ahead and try to wrap your head around how many possible, different matchups there can be. I'll give you a hint: counting every match ever played and every match in…

Lotion, tissues, and a teddy bear to cuddle and cry with afterwards.

Launches normally don't use any lines - they literally just drop/slide them into the water. Given a proper launch, location, and design (buoyancy, etc.) everything should go fine. Even if the boat looks like it is going to tip, it should (given proper design) level out.

Well, the article kinda answers your question - it is meant to prevent freezer burn. So despite it immediately freezing and requiring you to thaw it anyway, the food will not be freezer burned.

Yes, you are correct as well. I used a quarter (0.25) in my calculation since it would yield the higher net worth number. Yet, even this number appears to be low.

So we can determine Neil deGrasse Tyson's self evaluated net worth!

You can't assuredly blame the cement truck. Maybe the truck's brakes failed at that moment? Who knows. Just saying, don't bash someone when you do not know all of the details - no matter how unlikely they may be.

Lol what? Gmail, maps, Android, Chrome...among other things. Google can easily build a brand given the right market and advertising. Obviously Google+ was a blunder - but that is a mere blemish on their record.

Congratulations! You just determined the car is not for you because you value the interior!

The reason is because people sleep in cycles. Each cycle lasts about 90 minutes or so, changing from person to person. Therefore, you typically want to get sleep around a multiple of 90 minutes - 4.5 hours, 6, 7.5, 9, etc. So if you awake during a specific portion of the 90 minute cycle (again, varies from person to…

They don't exist because it would need a fairly large transformer which most people would find too large for practicality.
