Sometimes that is what happens. It is cheaper to just make everything on the same wafer, then test and bin. Lower capacity chips could have banks that are defective, or they could be perfectly functional when a process has matured and yield is higher. It may be physically disabled by having traces burned out with…

$100 is the price per set (all 3 prints). His previous Star Wars prints sell for that much. Granted, still fairly expensive for 12x24 prints.

Actually, that would be extremely safe. Totally useless, but extremely safe. The plane wouldn’t be going anywhere.

A bookstore owner sitting in the middle of a ton of books complaining about information overload. Isn’t it ironic?

PS/2 is popular because a lot of gamers have a highly inflated opinion of their own response time and subscribe to the “an interrupt for every keystroke is faster than USB polling” idea. NKRO over USB exists.

I don’t think it’s the dumbest thing anyone has written about Apple vs. FBI, even though it certainly ranks pretty high. But I think that GIF has great potential, especially after a bit of Photoshop. I’m going to try to replace the newspaper with a laptop showing Raccoon Girl.

Just because it is capable of the speed doesn’t mean your carrier, your phone, or conditions allow for you to download at that speed. But you’re right, according to Wikipedia’s page on LTE, “Peak download rates up to 299.6 Mbit/s and upload rates up to 75.4 Mbit/s”. Fastest theoretical download speed is 450 Mbps…

Yeah... this is what the “fire hose of data” is going to look like with data cap.

*groan* It took me way too long to realize what that picture is supposed to be. Which means I need more coffee.

Love the Blade Runner reference

October 2015 - Metrojet Flight 9268 brought down by terrorist.

One of the most abundant protein resource on Earth, from what I hear. Humane too. Or some word that sounds like “humane”.

Soylent Green.

Yeah, it just seemed like such an awkward sentence, but I never noticed the awkwardness when Alec Guinness delivered the line.

I’m not sure if I should be flattered or worried :) Thank you.

You can imagine the effect it would have if everyone in your office knew that everything they said would be released to the public immediately.

Agree. The only fear is that RCS is an even greater clusterfuck - entirely possible when you have a protocol designed by a huge committee trying to include features requested by just about anyone.

I’d like to have Ellen McLain’s voice (voice of GLaDOS) in my GPS receiver.

It’s as if millions of plankton suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.

I like SMS. It is lightweight, has a fairly elegant architecture, can be received by the Luddites among us who still don’t have a smart phone or mobile data, is short and to the point, and I really don’t want to receive a meme GIF for every response. The only thing wrong with it is that some plans charge up to 20…
