That must have been around 2010, maybe early 2011. Later in 2011, btc was already at over 10 dollars each, which would have made the last places worth more than second place.

To be fair, speed is relative.

Sure, but the relevant speed up there is relative to the air around you. The missile will have a negative air speed at first, than accelerate to positive, briefly passing through 0 in between, which comes with weird consequences for lift and steering.

Und ich hatte gehofft, das Ding wäre für immer in der Versenkung verschwunden.

How is that supposed to remove lead and mercury from the food supply? If you use that as fertilizer, the heavy metals will still be in there, and likely get picked up by your crops…

Maybe I’ll consider Nvidia for my next GPU.

I won't. Not until things improve a lot more. I'm not in a hurry to forget their past behavior.

Äh. Blöd. Reparierbar?

Du könntest das statt Deines Handys im Auto an den Aux-Anschluss stöpseln, und da liegen lassen, um die TÜVler mit dem "Ich liebe den TÜV" Song zu berieseln…

Wenn Du so ein Auto hast, hat Du dich sicher noch mehr alten MP3-Player irgendwo rumflattern. Oder nen Walkman.

Nitpick: The kernel modules are not the whole driver. There are substantial portions of it running in userspace, which will not be opened. (For AMD, those are open, too.) This does not "complete" the move away from proprietary drivers, at best it's starting it.

The closed-source kernel modules are the parts causing most of the headaches and legal uncertainties when using Nvidia GPUs, though.

The sentences are 5 years in one case and 4 in the others.

I'm a bit surprised that that was the only reason, though. Why would you expect you could get a passport from a country that insist not to be a citizen of?

Also, "I authenticated my birth certificate to a non hague-convention country"? I'm having a bit of trouble deciphering exactly what that means, but it kinda sounds to me like they just admitted to, you know, forging their birth certificate…

"Squeezes", "20%". Interesting word choice. Feels almost like downplaying. When, in reality, 20% is massive, especially on a CPU like the Threadripper.
