So you never carry any money, ever, then? Keep in mind you can have multiple wallets, you can create them at a whim. Nothing prevents you from making a savings account and keeping that file on a flash drive or on a machine disconnected from the internet.
If 20 cars travel down the freeway in one second, in a single file, then they are traveling 20 times as fast as those 20 cars in parallel, if they travel the same distance in that same second.
Correct. It would take longer than 20 milliseconds for my single-file cars to reach the end of the highway, since they are going at the same speed than my parallel cars, but using a single road rather than 20.
But their speed isn't changing. 20 cars going down a highway in 20 milliseconds are going at the same speed as 20 cars going down a highway in a single file. Each bit is going the same speed, but you are able to send more bits at once.
Try to avoid looking like a moron next time you post. By the way, it's "you're", not "your" going to post.
No, with gmail, you get no spam at all. The inbox is clean save for an unnoticeable tiny bar, and messages use unobtrusive right-aligned ads that I can't even notice on my widescreen monitor (obviously not the one in the screenshot, although these are not really bothersome either).
And if, for some weird reason, you still care about those hard to notice ads, you can get adblock and completely remove them.
But anyway, the important part is that you get nothing bad in your inbox, and you don't have to manage *anything*.
Well in this case, I think so, yes. Because in the end, users tend to learn clicks better than shortcuts. And ribbon makes that easier, since everything is placed upfront and you end up navigating less menus. Ribbon with shortcuts would look like shit.
However, on older interfaces, where showing the shortcut is unobtrusive and easy, I disagree with hiding them on purpose.
It's only obvious because we've been using the alt key for a decade if not more. Most users do not use shortcuts, and those who do usually know about the alt key.
When they prevent HTTP login and switch to HTTPs, they'll have done something right. This is just PR. Their shitty security allowed this in the first place.
Just use Lynx if that's what you want. Meanwhile, the rest of us will appreciate most features that Mozilla put into their browsers because most of the time they are useful.
The reason the PS3 wasn't cracked is because hackers had no reason to before not long ago, not because they were scared of lawsuits. Was GeoHot scared of a lawsuit? Enough for him not to work on the crack? Obviously not.
No, I did not mean hundreds, that'd be quite ridiculous, I concur. No need to change my words, I'm perfectly capable of typing them by myself.
Intel changes their sockets often, yes, which doesn't matter at all considering by the time I upgrade, I need to change motherboard anyway because it's completely out of date. Sure, I could have an upgrade path with old memory that isn't up to speed, with older SATA connectors, and no USB 3.0. But why should I care? I change my computer every 4-5 years anyway. Sure, I'd save money if I were to upgrade the processor halfway there, but I don't really need to because I have plenty of power for all those years (and quite frankly, the same could be said of mid and high grade AMD processors, at least I'd hope so)
I buy a cooler mostly for quietness, so that's a non-argument for me. The money I pay goes into both additional overclocking power and quietness. If you don't care about the latter, you're fine overclocking on a stock cooler. It's noisy but it works most of the time.
As for the automatic overclocking features, I don't know what you're talking about. The automatic overclocking features will NOT make the CPU faster than a high overclock (it clocks lower than my OC by default, unless there's a way to increase that in certain BIOS). Additionally, in some cases the automatic overclocking will turn off some of the cores when it kicks in, to make the whole thing cooler and more stable, which obviously I do not want when doing things like video encoding. With a custom overclock, sure you draw more power, but everything is running, and faster than the auto-OC speed.
Also, I think I did mention that I didn't mind paying a little more for extra performance. Of course I know that the bang/buck is lower with Intel. That's the point, you pay more, but get higher maximum performance when it matters. I completely agree with you about people who spend double the price on their computers. I think they're complete idiots. Personally I leave the i7 980 Triple XX OMG EXTREME EDITION and things like that for review sites to enjoy. I stick with the lower high-end models. I also agree with waiting before you buy, that's a given.
Given the tone of your post, I'm not sure why you think you're much different than the prepubescent fucks you're insulting. It's kinda sad that you have to use that kind of tone and those childish words to get your point across. Are you really that angry that I have a little bit more money than you to spend on a computer? Does that somehow reduce by age by a decade and make me less intelligent because I'm not spending it on *insert your favorite hobby* instead? Give me a break.
No, about $250. I consider it an investment to get a good processor, but I am a gamer, and I heavily overclock. (i7 930 @ 4.2 right now). It's really a matter of how much money you're willing to spend on that performance. Since I compile applications (on Windows; I program), play video games, and do video encoding, I see big benefits in paying a few bucks more and getting better performance.
I haven't used a wrist strap since I was born, and never actually paid attention to ESD in anyway, and have never, ever broke a single piece of electronic equipment. It really doesn't matter.
I'm still having a hard time understanding what technologies exist in 7 that don't in XP AND are something I ( or a business would need ).
The only reason to upgrade from XP is because security updates are due to end soon. And while that's a valid reason, most businesses are going to be asking themselves why they should upgrade if that's the only reason.

Hi,
Small mistake in your (impressive!) resume: "In the course of pursuing a BS in comptuer science at the University of MN".
Have a nice day!
(I didn't say it was a slap on the wrist, just that they won't be getting 30 years in the electric chair like these asshats).
I knew some US States were harsh, but is 30 years really necessary before switching the chair off? Jeez!

You're the one who is confused, FYI. It's the other way around.
Yeah, results may vary but I've had much more luck than with say, hotmail.
Yeah, and you can also be a social shut in and never leave your house, just in case you might get mugged.

Well, that will sure give me some interesting thing to say if I ever switch job and have to take one. Thanks.
They're helping keep the web open and thus IMHO more useful. Fine with me.
Good job, you know how to read.

As a man with common sense, I don't give a shit. And I wouldn't if it was a naked dude either.

I'm not talking about GPUs. But even if you were talking about CPUs this simply isn't true (or at least wasn't when I bought my processor)

And by soon he means in 3 years, give or take.
