Is it just me or does it seem like every 2 months since 1995 theres been some fantastic new discovery that will lead to amazing new batteries that can power a submarine and make you an omlette at same time forged of cutting edge carbon radiation and nuclear magic that will revolutionise the world in the next few years? cause im pretty sure were still using the same basic crap we were using then, give or take a few chemicals. My N95 battery lasts one day.
I dont want to be negative, but all i see is breakthorughs, never products. someone please correct me if im just being ignorant.
its much better to get a pocketpc phone and have it on that, then no matter where you are you can immediatly call bullshit on people trying to sound smart. i love calling people on that bullshit "10% of your brain" thing.
It is inevitable this will turn into a system that disables the car completely, and alerts the police.
How many learner drivers are going to be ID'd as drunk? here in australia you see learners all the time doing exactly what they discribed, meandering all over the road, braking and accelerating too quickly, etc. etc.
And if you put a special mode in to avoid this people would just activate it when they are drunk. Or what about an emergency? What if you've been drinking a bit but need to get to the cops to tell them the terrorists have taken over then building? Or if your in a remote rural area and need to get soemone to the hospital? using technology in this way is very near sighted.
yes you can make money from a cure but you can make a lot more money from treatment. ask the drug companies if theyd prefer 100k a year for 20 years or a one off fee that they couldnt justify as being anywhere near that much.
People are just making crass jokes and whining rather than actually recognising that this is a great step in the right direction for finding a cure/prevention for AIDs. you must be new here
you must be busy... i work full time and do various other things... and i have plenty of time to watch it.
not all of us can afford a nice big tv, so my 24" monitor in 1080p will do fine. i do have a projector hooked up to it too. not all of us are home owners some are poor young people in an apartment.
as i live in an apartment my sound system is hooked up to my pc...
if you'd rather find a dvd and pop it into a player thats fine, id rather click my mouse a few times. plus we cant all afford a roomful of dvds... i saw the x-files collection for $1000. honestly whos going to buy that?
I have had one of these for a few months... maybe they just came out in America?
anyway i think its brilliant....
10 sata ports are fantastic, i have 6 hard drives iv accumulated for storing media on, (all legal of course...) and with most motherboards this is a pain since 4 sata ports or even 6 is limiting especially with the extremely low prices of hard drives these days.
and for the person asking why you cant just use controller cards and set it up how you like, after you have 2 graphics cards in sli theres one pcie-1 and 1 pci slot left, i need one for sound. that leaves one pcie for a controller card, a 4 port sata card in aus is from memory over AU$200. Thats half the price of the motherboard. 8 port is like $500. if you need anything else like tv tuner, too bad.
i think there really isn't enough room for slots on motherboards these days, and why isn't everyone using pci-e?! motherboard manufacturers seem to think they are!
the pci-e 8x slot is for the fabled physics cards that are (supposedly) coming out. or in the case of the other theory for a third graphics card dedicated to physics. Futureproofing is good.
the 4 gigabit lan ports you could say are good for using teaming on two connections... but really its just for bragging rights, 2 really is enough for nearly everyone i think. but if your buying a top of the line motherboard its nice to get extras. being able to plug in and out my xbox, ps3 or whatever without disturbing other ethernet connections is nice tho, or if i just need to hook up a laptop to transfer files or something.
the only thing iv noticed is that the heatsink array gets VERY VERY hot, like you cant touch it without getting burned hot, but it hasn't caused me any problems yet and i have it overclocked a fair bit. im worried the extreme heat from the northbridge and back of the cpu might heat up the southbridge... but no problems yet.
Most people wont use half the features, but most people shouldn't spend AU$450 on a motherboard. Its there for people who need it like me.

actually, it is. its been 22.3 years.
