  1. Re:AMD get your act together... on AMD Declares Ryzen Will Be a Four-Year Architecture (extremetech.com) · · Score: 1

    Except you now need to define what i5 and i7 chip. right now intel is selling i5 and i7 labelled chips that are actually slow as hell M chips with iProcessor branding.

  2. Dear AMD..... on AMD Declares Ryzen Will Be a Four-Year Architecture (extremetech.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Give us real 8 cores with 8 FPU's. none of this cheap ass corner cutting. Intel has lost their way and you have a chance to become a real contender once again.

    8 cores 4 ghz, 8 FPU's and make it faster than hell. go to 5ghz if you want, but some of us do real work and need high speeds in the cores and multiple cores.

  3. When I was into competition class car stereos I had amps rated at 50W that would utterly destroy the kiddies with their 700W and 2500W amps.
      Mine were 50W at 0.00005% thd while the garbage that most kiddies buy is rated at "PEAK" and 60%thd.

    I also had decent speakers that were highly efficient. Again not the complete garbage kiddies buy... OHHH BIGGER MAGNETS ARE BETTER OOOOH!

    Come on back when you have a basic education in electronics and understand what thd is what speaker sensitivity is. Hell I have Klipsch horns at the house that will produce 106db with 1 watt of power.

    The Anti socialism cranks here are simply the result of the closing down of mental institutions back in the 80's and how bad our public schools are.

    When you have mentally deficient that never get education wandering the streets you get these kinds of cranks everywhere. Now they are old enough to confuse people into thinking they actually know something. In reality they all are simply that rambling nutjob screaming the world was going to end 10 years ago.

    Analog AM is even cheaper and can be built with trash found in most homes. we should ditch this FM radio and go back to AM radio!

    and dammit Spark Gap is even more effective! I can eliminate pesky frequency tuning!

  9. DAB is awesome on Norway To Become First Country To Switch Off FM Radio (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Lower powers can transmit farther, so it really makes a difference in the RF background noise.

    And honestly, I blame the turdtastic car makers putting in garbage radios and "infotainment" that does not support HDFM. it's been a standard for well over 10 years now. so it's high time the car makers and car stereo makers are forced to put it in place.

  10. Yep.

    I have Xeon in mine.

  11. Not a real i7, It's just an M chip. Intel was having trouble selling their low end garbage so they decided to change the naming to further cloud what you are really getting.

    uncompressed 4K is 18gb/s so a 100gb multi layer bluray can hold a little over 7 seconds of it.

    People buying 4K blurays are buying heavily compressed movies that are barely better than the 1080p version.

  13. But but but.... on Lucasfilm Creates A 4K Ultra-HD Restoration of the Original 'Star Wars' (4k.com) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    All the luddites CLAIM that 35mm film is a WHOLE LOT BETTER than digital... why did they have to clean it up and do digital restoration?

    It's because in reality, SW EP4 film is lower resolution than real 4K is so they are getting rid of film grain and using their high end software that will make it less obvious how low of resolution the 35mm film really was.

    Hell you could see the lack of sharpness and film grain on the 1080p release.

    I have torrented a metric buttloadover the years . and it shows that I dont have anything.
    so either the bogeyman of "your ip address is giving you away" is bogus as it disappears rapidly after you stop seeding, or I am a frigging expert at hiding without doing anything at all.

    I'm betting that IP addresses disappear rapidly and unless you were torrenting in the past 60 seconds you wont show up.
