I know how you feel. I think it is sad that Marketing keeps all their materials and just updates the number. For example, a salesperson told me a Core i3 processor is only good for doing one thing at a time. I just built a desktop based on a Core i3 and it is significantly faster than what it replaced and multitasks just fine. Just because it is one of the slowest doesn't mean it is slow.
I used a Canon T2i, 75-300mm II @300mm. I don't remember the exposure settings exactly but with a fairly low ISO I was shooting 1/1000 - 1/2000s and f/5.6.
I was pretty happy with the pictures I got of the moon. It was the 4 second exposure of a landing plane that showed me how bad light pollution was. The sky looked black to me but the image was light streaks on an orange background.
It isn't tying, it is subsidizing. It is a lot easier to sell a $200 phone with a 2 year contract than to sell just an $800 phone. I don't know where you get that you HAVE to buy service.
You'd be suprised how much stuff is glued together. How can Ferrari sell cars for hundreds of thousands of dollars when they glue their windshields on?
They can price it so low because the are more vertically integrated than their competitors. They have a lot of power over suppliers and manufacturers so they can get the quality they want. They have a very good R&D team. They design their own OS so they have lower licensing costs. They also have their own stores. Samsung pays fees to use Android and their resellers demand a cut of sales. Apple doesn't have to deal with that because what they don't sell in their own stores is a small amount used primarily for marketing. Wired had an article about it recently.
You cheated! Menues are more like: click on this menu, move the mouse down to the 5th item, move the mouse over to the submenu without leaving that row, move the mouse down to the 3rd item without leaving the submenu and click on it. I'm used to it and I still screw it up!
What I was hoping would come across is that he thought he knew all about aerodynamics and everything else but once he started working he realized what he knew was only the tip of the iceberg.
I attended a talk by an aerospace engineer and one of the first thing he realized about his first job is he didn't really know anything. His courses were merely a foundation for the rest of his career. It is this way in any technical field.
Gamer communities? servers? and so on? Leechers ftp? fserves and so on?
Organizations.
You didn't say anything about organizations except for NASA. You are only correct up to this point. If a faker server crashes, so what? A few people are disappointed? A hospital server crashes and people might die. That is mission critical. Not everything is equal, nothing is fair. You have to accept that.
I disagree in that Intel has made it perfectly clear there is a problem that will creep up over the years. If you buy this board knowing this and fail to work around the problem and it bites you, it is your fault.
If you are reusing an old board for mission-critical applications, you deserve what you get. That goes double for one that is clearly faulty in some way.
From Google: The term mission critical (or mission-critical) refers to any factor (equipment, process, procedure, software, etc.) which is essential to the core function of an organisation. That is, it is critical to the organisation's 'mission'. By this definition, your leechers and gamers are not organizations and thus have no need for mission-critical-level hardware.

6GB of ram? How is email, word processing, and movies going to use that much?

I've found that an OS tends to use the ram you give it. My laptop ran just fine on 512MB and Windows used proportionately more ram as I added it.

I'd say they barely know more. How many people play as a guard or tackle?
It sure is convenient there is no New Testament! You might as well argue about APIs is Windows 98.
Are you sure you're going to all the parties?
Every OSHA poster where I work makes it perfectly clear that retaliation of any kind is illegal. I doubt anyone would have trouble suing.
Too bad Newegg lists 17 SLC SSDs. They are also insanely expensive at $10/GB. What was that about trolling?
From what I've read, it would take constantly overwriting the entire drive continuously for years to cause it to fail.

I understand this is a US-centric site but to say something isn't truly international without the US is just dumb.
If Joe Video Editor is upset by this, maybe he should have gotten a desktop.
It sours like Windows updates work the same way as on an Apple. Windows updates are nothing like the HP updates.
I see you've ignored cows for so long that you don't know many of the shortcomings have been fixed with the birth of the latest cow.
That was gamer. My iPhone thought I meant faker. That was quite a reaction!
Wrong, again.
