Well with the Core 2 quad extreme at $1000 and the core 2 quad like 0.1 GHz down from it at $550, I don't think you'll have to wait long for it to get a bit cheaper. I'm hoping this forces the wolfdale duos down though. I don't have a huge problem doing builds and upgrades with 3.0GHz Regors but the fast wolfdales are like 10-20% faster!
WRONG!!!! My 8600GTS OC can't even run Oblivion at 1280x1024 at 60 FPS with some of the most draining effects turned off. I had an 8800GT for a while and that couldn't either. Oblivion is a freaking beast! You need something completely sick even by today's standards to run it in 1080p right now.
Unlike every single butt-scratching ape creature who posted nonsense above me, the way they inject it and how similar it is to existing technology or how much it supposedly won't work is unimportant. The huuuuuuuuge thing that sticks out to anyone who actually knows something about cars is that somehow magically adding an oxidizer to gasoline is like adding NOS but more direct and that's like a 50% boost in horsepower. You know why rocket fuel burns so fast? It contains its own oxygen! If they can do that to gasoline, you need less oxygen to come in and burn it from the air intake. There's still the same amount of air coming in though so the effect is it sends in more fuel and you get WAY more horsepower! So how this could possibly help gas mileage I don't know but it will sure give a performance boost! By the way, the way they phrase it makes it sound like the new system is more efficient because current engines don't burn all the gas completely. That's bullshit! If cars were spitting out gas left and right or losing 20% of it straight into the catalytic converter, the car would never pass emmissions tests or have remotely good gas mileage. Warming up the gas and chopping it into smaller pieces so it "burns better" is a big load of crap no matter what form they package it in.
This isn't memory chips. This is high end, new intel processors. I've never heard of someone faking processors ever. It just seems completely insane. I can't wait to find out who made these and where and how they ended up "in the line" to newegg. It probably wasn't the intel factory and nobody at newegg's supplier would be stupid enough to purposely try and rip them off with something that would so obviously get caught. That's a great way to destroy your own business! So that begs the question...how many damn people get these processors on the way from Intel to Newegg? What a waste of time and money if it's anything but Intel -> distrubutor -> Newegg. I especially don't want to pay an extra $20 for my processor to have it shipped to 8 different people first, one of which decided it was a good idea to add in or swap out some fakes. Time to cut out the middleman!
I can think of one thing. Hey, I hope someone DDOSes their servers until the end of time. If this story gave ME that idea, I'm sure some botnet owner who likes assassin's creed is thinking the same thing. It's not like they can change the IP addresses of the servers and not tell anyone. They're just sitting out there like big, hated targets.
So is this like RGB color schemes only in certain scaling modes only? Like if I do a CMYK photoshop project and scale an image down with a non-standard scaling type optimized for reduction or gradient preservation or enlargement or whatever then would it be affected by the glitch?
People have captured and burned methane from enclosed cow barns and powered their farm plus extra but obviously burning it isn't the best idea (although I have no idea what this box does). If you put one of these in a cow farm though, you'll probably have enough methane to power some serious stuff without having to build a compost heap under it. The compost heap is basically inside the cow's stomach and all the methane is currently heading up into the atmosphere doing 1000x more damage per molecule as CO2 so we might as well turn it into semi-cleaner power. I bet it'd put out more than all those cows running on cow sized hampster wheels even...hey, that's another good idea! Install em both! lol.
Then you'd have to call it the "Doomba" hehehehehe.
Oh and in response to the person saying install another 250 amp breaker in their house...hell, I'll pedal a damn bike with an alternator on it to fry mosquitos! With those flying torture devices, it's personal!
Also, it appears that once you impersonate a planet for decades and get caught, they blur your face in photos:-P Get it cuz the photo says "faces" of pluto and it's blurry? For every one of you who thought I didn't have to explain it, there's a person who needed it explained lol.
I just literally 10 seconds before coming to slashdot and reading this, I got done giving Verified By Visa my password for a CC charge through newegg. Awesome lol. Oh well, I bet it's still more secure than not having it at all.
Ooh I saw that one! lol. No seriously, the Sci Fi channel made it. And I believe the cliche, cookie cutter military general tried to nuke it and when that didn't work, they used some sort of umm...let's just say magic to dissipate it cuz it was at least equally idiotic. Oh and if I'm not mistaken, the black hole contained some sort of extra terrestrial ghosts that started harrassing townspeople and destroying stuff. I wish I was making that up but seriously, that was an actual movie.
Everyone wants to think botnet but I have a second theory that's kinda out there. Maybe it's Google's international search engine robot servers all hitting it on a schedule to update their indexes. Why they'd be that synchronized I don't know for sure though. Maybe the google master controls decide it's time to update that website's index and it doesn't want the UK's google to show something 2 days later than the US version or people might find out and bitch about second rate service for their country so they signal all the robot servers everywhere to hit it at once.
Actually, here's how the chain actually went as I saw it. 24 hour news networks have nothing else to report on. They all look at each other and what they're reporting on and decide none of them can afford to drop this "everyone's gonna die" story before any other network does. Then they run out of things to say about the non-story so they make it sound interesting and dangerous. That gets stupid people freaked out and soon everyone's talking about it. The fact that everyone is worried about it makes governments pretend to care as much as they do so they look good for the next election. Then they buy up a ton of vaccines for a ton of money instead of a few for cheap to idiots don't blog about them spending 1 bil on a military jet to protect americans and 10 mil on vaccines to "protect americans." Even if they know it's BS, they'll do anything that a large percentage of US citizens say. That's kinda how a democracy works.
If you think I'm wrong, how do you think Congress ended up holding hearings about MLB steroid use? Cable news wouldn't let it do, people got concerned, so congress had to pretend to be concerned too.
What the also used in conjunction with it was the old "hey, click on this" security hole. NPR reported that they sent out "convincing" e-mails and got the morons to click on it. Who cares if it autoinstalled with a 0 day flaw by visiting the page. That wouldn't have happened if the stupid people hadn't fallen for the same old e-mail tricks.
People need to grow some balls and call people dishonest scammers even if they're disabled. Why is it like every handicapped person magically is an angel? There are lying assholes out there like this guy just as much as any group. It's like saying all *insert race here* people are perfect (or bad). And he gets a second thumbs down from me in that he's using his disability as an excuse for all this. What a jackass!
They should agree to it only if those nut allergic freaks agree to sterilize themselves so they can't have kids because their line of genetic abnormalities is REALLY annoying, expensive, and disruptive to the rest of us. Now latex people get a break cuz that's a man made but people dying from nuts? They should all just die off like they would without science and civilization instead of bitching and calling it a handicapp.
Since they mentioned Redbox, I think the 28 day delay is just the time it takes to get a damn DVD out of it sucessfully lol. My parents were sitting outside a Walgreens waiting for me to shop and they said every single person who went up to the DVD rental thingy took forever and then eventually left, looking pissed off and without a DVD in their hand:P Which brings me to my point that they're not just saving the most profitable methods for immediate release but saving the second rate ways for later. Just think, the crappier, cheaper theater near me is on like a 2 month delay. Now it'll be where you can go pick up a personally owned, complete-in box, non-used copy immediately the same day or you could wait for shipping time to get it from Netflix. Now they just tacked on 28 days on top of the delayed, used disc rental system. So really if you REALLY want to see the movie and are REALLY excited or whatever, you REALLY have to spend more money to get it in a better format or with less effort etc. If you kinda don't care and want to spend less, you wait. I don't think there's anything too abnormal about that business model. It's sort of the same as pricing on graphics cards falling over time. If you're not THAT excited about the card, you wait the usual waiting period until it's cheaper.
Why the hell do they need to long term store it? It doesn't help you to say "oh yeah, he did have a weapon on him after all" 4 hours later. Don't let the image stream ever hit the hard drive. Just keep it in ram and wipe it when the next one steps through. Wait, why is this even a computer? Why isn't it just a monitor for the machine and strictly a video feed?
Oh who cares, the staff just whip out their cell phone cameras anyway if they see the secret transvestite senator walk though. Then it doesn't matter how much security they put on it. And who cares if they're storing pics or not if some pedo decides to get a job with airport security so he can look at naked kids all day? The article's solution was to "tell people not to violate CP laws." Oh yeah, telling pedos not to do anything pedo-ish always works. I say modify or dump the scanners!
I'm from Wisconsin and we got about a foot of snow twice and I did some driving. You can still see the signal lights just fine. Snow is made out of ice which makes it translucent and the colors come through perfectly. It sounds like, as usual, people are driving with their heads up their asses in the snow and making up some BS excuse about why they went straight through a red light. Don't believe a word of this.
The government can't come in and tell me how to run my own damn business, why should they tell Google? Why should it be any different to force a very clearly non-monopoly market to be regulated so extensively? If I don't want shirtless people coming into my store, they can't cuz I put up a sign. If I don't want certain results displayed on my search engine's website at all, I can remove them. It's ridiculous to treat search providers like utilities as if their operations are that critical.
And with everyone pretty much having to buy their college textbooks for next semester in paper form, that's pretty unusual. I would think that's a huge portion of the sales. Factor that out and it's probably an even bigger digital to paper ratio for just novels and stuff.
Wow, China got me just what I wanted for Christmas! I've said for years that China should be disconnected from the rest of the internet. That would solve sooooo many problems! And now they're basically doing it themselves. This is awesome!
The only way you fall into these rolls is by falling into them. In every game I've ever played, I mix it up a little. I've been known for weird, difficult combinations that are very hard to beat. Like in Runescape I had the best armor in the entire game but I also did mad damage with sick attack skills. So I was a well armed damage doer. Also my highest stat, believe it or not, was actually magic. There's also a 4th class I'd like to suggest is true for most games and that's "disgustingly rich" or sometimes called "skillers." They avoid combat AND healing and just try and get money and power in the game and show off and stuff. They're usually seen walking around in rare, flashy outfits with discontinued and other rare items and stuff.
When I put ads on my own website and got approved for ads on my most popular youtube video, that's why I realized how great ads are lol. Although I still hate them and think every ad I've ever seen can just burn in hell (except thinkgeek, hurray thinkgeek! lol)
Well I don't know about that. I've used some converters and it was a little rough. 300 pixels is better resolution than some old cell phone screens lol. I think you can do better than ASCII art level with this thing.
