You won't be unhappy. My last two personal builds were AMD after being an Intel (and Mac) user forever and a day. Athlon 2500+ last summer and a 3800+ AMD64 X2 (just like in the benchmarks) about 6 weeks ago.
Unless Intel can hit that sweet spot where performance meets price I'm going to use AMD. They can't keep charging for the "luxury" of having "Intel Inside".
agree. I think I've even seen a package of "Assorted resistors" (no specification as to what voltage or resistance rating) for sale at Radio Shack. Uh, yeah, any 'ol resistor will do, let me just buy a pack of "assorted" resistors.
Probably Radio Shack. I saw something similar at a RatShack a few years ago and remember standing there reciting "Bad Beer Rots Our Young Guts But Vodka Goes Well" as I looked at the parts through the bag. Never did find the part there, had to go to Active.
Look at the bottom of the page. It's just a press release announcing that ATI was the first to get to 1 GHz. Basically a "fuck you" to Nvidia, nothing more.
I read Roving Mars a few
months ago. It was written by Steven Squyres, the principal investigator for
the Mars missions. A very good book with some behind the scenes scoop
on the politics and squabbling involved in getting these things build and
sent. Highly recommended.
Just come in one weekend and change the entire network over to BSD without running it by anyone. Why bother with the pesky work of drawing up a well-structured arguement for what you want, and then run it by the people who sign your check?
I did that, although not over a weekend. The people that sign my cheques trust my opinion. Now we have OpenBSD running virtually all critical services here.
This reality is not going to change. In fact it will only get worse
as technology coverage is handed to newer, less-qualified observers who
simply cannot use a Microsoft Windows computer.
Perhaps these
happy Mac users are former Windows users? Dvorak is going on a limb by
assuming they're techo-illiterates who haven't used Windows.
Slashdot Mirror
True enough, even if terribly impractical.
"No, seriously honey, that RealDoll is my CNC's version of Hello, World!"
Find me a webpage where the links and sources in the code are done by IP and not hostname
DNS affects the whole internet. WWW included.
How long until we see www.we-surrender-the-internet-to-you.fr? By Monday?
Because Dell won't sell AMD. Michael Dell's buttplug even has Intel Inside.

Let that be a lesson to you: slashdot is 99% bullshit.
What the hell is this doing in a discussion about processors?!
You don't get the joke. Re-read the message a few times slowly.
hint: try forming words out of every X letters. It's brilliant.
That's right, be a man and buy one only when there's a mod chip available. The longer the wait the less you really care.
Look at the link of the submitter "Anonymous Coward". It links to raizlabs...

Re:energy is liberated through blasphemy
woo, I don't need that second cup of coffee this morning. Thanks!
I love ordering shirts from OpenBSD over some other places because they have XXXL on their site!
That's why I order condoms from them. [/rimshot]
It's Sunday, shouldn't you be in church?
I rirst read that as "Google and IBM Team Up with Scientology".
Go Xenu!

re: your sig, THANKS! Abortion pictures are cool. Makes me want toast for dunking.
There's quite a bit of coverage of roving the planet. Boring into rocks, getting samples, etc. The reviews are incomplete.

Thanks for that tip re: Dave Manning. It rang a bell so I googled him.. ouch!
Ah hell, I laughed and I need it right now.
That's true, but how does he know the reviewers are newbies? It's an assumption he makes to support his argument.
