Overclocking had its day back when the Celeron 300A was out. Now its all poseurs OCing to get a few more framerates and burning out their CPUs. Very VERY few of them OC it for anything more then penis. Sure you'll get some folding guys or dudes running triple 4k monitors. When I OC'd back in the day it was so i could MOVE faster in Quake 3, not so i could post benchmarks. Overclocking should be used to reach a performance level you couldn't otherwise get with money.
Umm no. The geeks rose up about Microsoft back in the day because they tried to own the entirety of computing through a long campaign of malicious acts. Sure we hate paying licensing and the MS scheme is egregious, but thats not what evoked retribution.
Yes, actually it is. Screen mirroring is powerful stuff when you have on strapped to every screen in the house and the world is bending to provide content for the ipad. Apple is a breath away from becoming a 'gaming console'.
Actually if you read the law, we dont prosecute them for the act, but for the INTENT. They arent arrested for having sex with under-age girls, they are arrested for attempting to leave the country with the intent to have sex with underage girls.
The key part is that he bought bootlegs off the street which means the hard part (decrypting) was already done. Pop the bootleg in drive one, blanks in the others, done. Its as simple as dubbing a tape.
There is no major performance difference between a Sandy Bridge macbook pro and a mac mini esp. at 13". The 15" can get a quad core, but so can mac mini server. For a 'high end' non-mac pro desktop you are looking at $1000 for mac mini server with a i7 in it. Add in another $400 for a decent SSD (DIY, apple reacts too slow to market prices) and you are good to go. So $1000(Comp) + $120 (RAM) + SSD ($400) = $1520 one time fee for a screaming fast dev environment. What is the problem here?
By the way the refurb prices i quoted are direct from Apple, sold by Apple, on the Apple website with full warranty and confidence, not some 3rd party bullshit. The rest of your argument runs off into ROI fantasy land.
Mac mini $599 ($519 refurb), Ipad 2 $399 ($350 refurb), $99/year dev license x 2 (mac and iOS). By my count its $1000 up front and $200/year. That is an astonishingly low price for a pretty feature rich dev system. Add $120 for 16 GB RAM upgrade (DIY).
Why not? why differentiate between clients? your pocket computer(phone) is jsut as valid a computer as a desktop as far as the network is concerned. Dont you think that at some point your 'phone' is going to be your only computer that you carry with you and then dock with at work and home?
If you have no vision as to why these features might be useful in a portable and powerful machine then you are a fool. Right tool for the right job.
I love taking my rooted 32 GB nook color tablet with a samba server to my linux class and turning it on for my classmates to connect to during the 4 hour class. I just serve small books, utilities etc, but its nice to have.
Not everything needs to go through the internet when you can carry small, relevant bubbles of it with you. Stop thinking of tablets of these dumb terminals, thats retarded (no pun). They push and pull, can local process, all kinds of funky computing fun on the go and its all backed up by the biggest iron the planet has ever seen and its only going to get bigger!. Widen the scope of what you think tablets should be.

What is heroic is his civil disobedience on the matter.

The MPAA actively attempts to limit technology and buy laws to protect profits. That ALONE is enough.

You would MURDER someone with the authority of the state for saying things you dont like? interesting philosophy.
Clearly, all bits are equal.
so much truth here.
If you could shut down the Westboro Baptists, would you?
The point is to EDUCATE, NOT MAXIMIZE REVENUE. The PROFIT is a well educated citizenry.

Since when has violating the law stopped ANY government?
Its funny that you think the word fair comes into play at all when talking about sovereignty. We are not interested in being fair, nor should we be.
Ron Paul and RMS should go and live on idealism island together.
I would like to point out he even stole that quote.
Its a big remote control plane backed up by sticks and rocks. Oooo scary.
This is it. After Citizen's United, they finally took off the mask and said 'pay us or no representation for you' out in the open.
The problem is the market is VASTLY wider then it was then so we should be seeing even lower pricing through volume.
Thats like saying 'Learn to live in society without being owned by it"
MPEG-LA basically says 'all your video belong to us....'
