Visa and status are different things and exist simultaneously. A visa is used to cross the border, a status is what enables one to be in the country. Many people on H1B don't have a physical H1B visa either as they have "adjusted

Around here the vast majority of new construction comes in shape of "A/B unit", a single lot with two SFHs. This is organized as a HOA of 2 members.

A "due process" does not guarantee a lawyer. In case of immigration violations, for example, the due process consists of detention and subsequent deportation. The Due Process clause just states that the government has to follow th

You seem to be confused over the meaning of word "administrative". In this context it means that the matter is entirely in the hands of the executive power so there is no charging and no trial.

No, branching works on GPU just like everywhere else - the instruction pointer gets changed to another value. But you cannot branch on a vector value unless every element of the vector is the same, this is why branching on vector values is

I don't know how many graphics products you shipped and when, but, say, clamping values at 0, is pretty common even in most basic shaders. It's not magic and won't introduce "aliasing" just for the fact of using it.

It's absurd to claim that you'd never use step(), even in pixel shaders (there are all kinds of shaders not related to pixels at all).

Something claiming to be X doesn't mean it's X at all least good at being X. This option on tube TVs that I had never worked for commercials, works so well that I don't notice it on a "smart" TV. If you don't w

I'd imagine a fitness band that cannot even place heart rate into an adjunct zone (e.g. showing zone n-1 or n+1 when in zone n) does not have much use for fitness . Nobody demands measuring every heart beat but, in case it's not

The mobile PowerVR GPUs had programmable blending last time I've touched those, in fact, it's the only kind of blending they had. Changing blend states on PS Vita was ~1ms, not pretty.
