Many libraries let you "rent" ebooks for free.

I love my Nook Simple Touch even in the tablet age, I *like* that it only does one thing. With facebook and the entire internet at large sitting there on the tablet I doubt I could get any serious reading done. And I also like that I usually just end up charging it after I've gotten bored from not charging it for so…

Is a decent projector and surround sound setup coming from a computer through HDMI possible for under 1000?

In the 70s it was pretty much done without asking in hospitals in America from my understanding, so a generation of fathers is cut, and obviously if it was done to them they don't want to accept that it may not be a great thing and want their sons to be the same. I hear in most of Europe circumcising a baby for non…

Well that's like, your opinion, maan

Not to continue a shit storm but why is a personal preference enough reason to call someone an idiot? The vast majority of men on earth are uncut, everyone is born with a foreskin, only America among secular nations has most of its adult men cut. But even there, rates are dropping, uncut will become the new norm there…

How is reducing the friction problem forgetting about how the girl would feel? And the foreskin feels great moving up and down in there, so I hear.

Depends where you are. The vast majority of men on earth have one, among secular nations America is unique in most men being cut. And the rates there are dropping too.

Grow a foreskin, friction free entry

In the absense of another bottleneck like ROPs or memory bandwidth etc.

GPU performance can scale with shader unit/core count if it isn't bottlenecked elsewhere, like ROPs, memory bandwidth, etc. Only time and benchmarks will tell in any case.

No they aren't, if they are bandwidth starved then performance won't scale with core count.

Reading the update of the article, looks like someone just altered a Nikon.

72 GPU cores in this, 12 in the last one, I think 6x just means core count and not performance. Performance may be memory bandwidth bound at this point. Tegra 3 was already bandwidth starved.

"Eagle" is the codename for A15 by the way.

Eagle is A15

Is that 6x as powerful, or just 6x as many "cores" (which I still hate calling them)?

Gah, charts like this make me twitchy. Going from 6:45 to 6:20 halves the size of the bar?

Even with wifi and data off my Nexus S would probably just make it two days. No way it would get through three.

Not really the tech as a whole, but i miss the battery life of dumbphones. I miss being able to go a week or two without plugging in, rather than worrying about getting through a day.
