Intel in the GHz Game Again - Skulltrail Hits 5 GHz
An anonymous reader writes "Intel's Skulltrail dual-socket enthusiast platform has been making the rounds on the web for half a year or so, but we haven't seen many details yet. TG Daily got a close look at an almost complete prototype, which surely sounds almost like a production ready version, judging from the article. Everything that TG Daily describes sounds like Skulltrail PCs will be very limited in availability and insanely expensive. Intel also has said it has developed 'special' Xeon processors with desktop processor attributes just for Skulltrail. These chips are currently running at a stable 5 GHz."
Actually - I got rid of my Corvette and bought a fuel efficient Scion. A female friend of mine quipped that a trade like that gained me 6" :D
Third party observation by the secretary was that guys who drive reasonable cars are more comfortable with themselves and more stable. Better material, etc.
Of course, I then bought an M3 and ruined it all!
An operating system should be like a light switch... simple, effective, easy to use, and designed for everyone.
Perhaps those women are right; that they really can't find a comfortable, stable guy.
Perhaps many of the comfortable, stable guys aren't interested in girls with the kind self confidence issues that put them in M3s with assholes.
I'm drastically simplifying relationships when I write this and I'm also grossly generalizing, so please take what I write with a grain of salt. I'd love to hear other people's experience.
Here's my dating experience, having gone through many stages of personal growth...
- I've been a 'nice guy' who waited on women hand and foot.
I ended up being friends with women who had self respect issues. In my opinion, that kind of woman enjoys being around people whom she sees as more pitiful than herself. She loves the attention, but the more attention she is given, the lower her opinion of the man due to her own self respect issues. She desires strength in a romantic partner. Unfortunately, she's often the only kind of woman a self confessed 'nice guy' will spend much time with. Most other women are put off by his clingy attitude. The nice guy then begins to believe that all women are like her.
- I've been 'the asshole.'
The asshole is the basic male equivalent of the women I spent time with when I was a 'nice guy.' I was more successful, but I wasn't happy. I could never respect the women I dated, because my false sense of self confidence did not allow me to respect myself. The relationships I had were frequently shallow, and subtly antagonistic.
- I'm currently learning to relax, and to be confident.
I'm not Casanova, but I've had some success. I'm learning when to be strong, and when to let things go. I'm learning when to express my feelings, and when to control them. It's not easy, and there aren't simple rules... But I have mutual respect, and I've had some great experiences. I believe I'd be more successful if I was less intimidated by social situations.
When I hear this, I usually think there is something deeply inexperienced about the guy saying it.
I've known a lot of 'nice guys' and I've met a few truly confident, stable guys. Few (if any) of the confident, stable guys have this attitude. They aren't bothered by unstable women, because they aren't interested in them. They are generally too busy spending time around the confident, stable girls.
I did point out they were different but I suppose nasty trolls with a logout link trick are not expected to be have high levels of reading comprehension.
Oh it's you again.
:).
I did read your post correctly. Maybe you didn't read mine correctly.
I suppose I have been trolled, and your replies should really be beneath my threshold.
Oh well, have fun nonetheless
