You wont find any USB 3.0 ports on cheap Sandy Bridge motherboards because Intel does not support USB 3.0 in its Sandy Bridge chipsets.
This fact seems to be lost of the Intel fanboys, that do not realize that any Sandy Bridge board that supports USB 3.0 (or more than 2 SATA 3.0's) must use a 3rd party support chipset..
The fanboys are delusional when they claim $65 Sandy mobos with SATA 3.0 and USB 3.0.. they don't exist.
So he lied about both the cost of the AMD CPU and the cost of the AMD motherboard.
What else did he lie about? I cant find a single SATA 6Gb + USB 3.0 motherboard for Sandy Bridge for under $89. Hard to prove that he lied here.. absence of evidence and all that, but we know that he is a liar so we cannot accept what he says....
As for you. We know that when confronted with the fact the at least one piece of data from the liar was incorrect, you still worked off the rest of his data unquestionably. That makes you a fanboy too. When I said "we" cannot accept what he says, that obviously didnt include you, who happily did because you agreed with the conclusion.
They have already dropped enough to justify enterprise use. Enterprise-grade 15K drives are expensive ($1/GB) compared to the consumer-grade stuff people are normally talking about when comparing the cost of a gigabyte of storage.
Its almost as if nearly all of slashdot has no idea that 15K drives cost so much... hybrid drives make no sense unless you give up on the RPM's
15K enterprise drives cost around ~$1/gigabyte... not all that much cheaper than SSD's which cost around ~$2/gigabyte (MLC) or ~$5/gigabyte (SLC)
Now, the comparison in the summary is between 3 SSD's and 60 15K HDD's.. in other words, the HDD solution was enormously more expensive. (and thats NOT counting the cost of the stack of Fiber Channel raid enclosures, let alone the power that 60 stack draws)
You dont seem to know what you are talking about. SSD's arent much more expensive per gigabyte than HDD's in performance enterprise environments, and always significantly outperform for equal investment, with less power costs. The only place the "cheaper per gigabyte" argument is true is when you can get away with inexpensive HDD's.. in other words, you heard people talk about one thing but didnt know that it didnt apply to another.
When you dont know what you are talking about, act like it.
You can't really blame Obama for the lack of a robust public option... he tried for it, but Republicans blocked it.
The total number of Republicans that actually voted for the health care bill in both House and Senate combined is 1. Thats it. One fucking Republican.
Are you suggesting that this one fucking Republican blocked the public option? The reality is that you are fucking embarrassingly wrong about everything here. The Democrats own that fucking pig health care bill that you don't like. If you have a problem with it, take it up with them you fucking moron.
Well, congress could have passed universal health care and made that problem largely go away; but for some reason the drag on the economy that is private health insurance companies can't be talked about by Republicans for some reason.
Combined in both House and Senate, the healthcare bill got exactly 1 Republican vote.
Amazing that you blame the Republicans for the shitty healthcare plan we got, when it was drafted by the Democrats with no input from Republicans, and forced through by the Democrats with no help from the Republicans.
The Democrats got exactly what they wanted. Obviously the Democrats are far more corrupt than you perceive them to be. The Republicans would have never passed such a monstrosity, yet you blame them for it. Simply amazing.
the probability that you get mugged (small as it is) is probably greater than the odds of the USPS losing an envelope.
At least you will know that you were mugged in a timely fashion. You dont know that the USPS lost your mail for a long time that often has financial consequences.
For as long as I can remember, Intel have been in the lead when you really want cutting edge technology (excepting a few times when AMD has surprised the world), but AMD is what you go with if you want the most value for your money in an x86/x86-64 processor. Has this changed?
Note that the top two, the AMD A8-3x50's, have a competent GPU in them (suitable for WoW on high settings) so the actual value is also greatly under-stated. Those chips are essentially extreme value.. very very far ahead of the game.
Intel simply has no competitor in the segment that the E-350 sits in. You have to reach into other segments (as you just did) and then swallow that two or more of these: [price, efficiency, GPU performance, CPU performance] must be significantly worse when going Intel.
That i3 solution you found loses on Price, Efficiency, and GPU. This is true because the i3 isnt in the same market segment as the E-350.
The i3 is fine in a nettop/mini or similar (plugged into the wall) paired with a high end nVidia mobile GPU, or even a discrete graphics card. The E-350 look extremely foolish if its in a similar arrangement to that one, but in a notebook or netbook its the i3 that is looking extremely foolish.
The E-350 is the Atom killer. The segment that the Atom filled is gone. There is only this new segment and AMD owns it.
The current situation is Intel is slaughtering AMD.
Except where AMD is slaughtering Intel, of course.
HP, Asus, MSi, and Lenovo have all adopted the E-350 over the Atom alternatives in notebooks and low end laptops.
Remember that Notebooks and Laptops are replacing desktops in the typical home. Intel is probably pretty worried that they have absolutely no competitor to the E-350 that doesnt both cost significantly more and draw significantly more power.
STFU is a poor excuse people use when they run out of actual arguments.
I didnt run into any valid arguments for I stopped reading when he began with a lie (which he later admitted to making.)
..nor did I declare which side of the fence I was on, making you presumptuous.
Could it be that you also dont care about what is and is not true, that you actually feel the need to defend the liar; to make presumptions and attack them (a straw man); in a desperate attempt to muddy the waters,,, in the hopes that maybe, just maybe, his lies arent as bad as the person pointing them out?
He is a liar on subjects he is emotionally attached to. End of fucking story on him. Can't be trusted.
You erect straw men in order to defend people that make up things that support subjects that you are emotionally attached to. End of fucking story on you. YUou also can't be trusted.
Don't like it? Change your behavior. Then you might be someone that you can like.
And just think about it: in 2020 1080p will be really low resolution
Pure bullshit.
1080p isnt going away any time soon. Hell, its not even the standard resolution yet (that would be 720p)
Also, over the past 10 years the number of pixels per inch has gone DOWN towards lower densities, not UP towards higher densities. ~150 pixels per inch was fairly typical on mid-to-high end CRT's but then the LCD craze happened and nearly everyone is now running only 100 pixels per inch or less ('cept in niche cases like hand held devices)
You are so emotionally attached to this subject that you have lost objectivity, and have proven to be intentionally dishonest because of it. Nothing you say matters to us now.
GPU's dont use the lighting techniques seen here, in spite of the fact that the summary claims that the technique is "modern."
Specifically, nobody does gouraud shading anymore. Hell, even in the days before GPU's people stopped using that technique in favor of phong shading.
Gouraud calculates the lighting at each vertex and then interpolates the light intensity across the polygon.
Phong calculate the surface normal at each vertex and then interpolates the normals across the polygon (calculating light intensities from those normals on a per-pixel basis.)
Hell, nobody does phong any more either. Generally the normal is now either a direct lookup (bump mapping and so forth) or derived from the zbuffer itself using differed shading.
Literally thousands of papers, all dealing in numbers, have shown that the climate is warming. Almost all of them (well more than consensus) show that human activities are responsible.
I stopped right here.
Nearly all global warming papers specifically do NOT tackle the cause, at all. They only tackle the hypothesis that the globe is warming, and most of them show that it is.
You, however, claim that most of them not only tackle the cause.. that most of them propose a specific cause.
This means that you are simply making shit up because you think its true, rather than because you know that its true. We have no reason to ever listen to you on this subject because clearly you dont care about what is true and what isn't true, that you intentionally make statements of fact that arent facts at all.
The worst part of it all is that you knew that you didnt know, but intentionally acted like you did anyways. That makes you a fucking liar. We dont want to hear from liars on this specific subject. That includes you. We dont want to hear from you on this specific subject. Now shut the fuck up.
Netflix already has a content deal with Disney (signed in December 2010) and thus does not need Starz in order to show Disney/ABC titles.
Sony on the other hand has been playing serious hardball, but Starz will not have Netflix revenue to throw at Sony any longer. Their deal ends in 2014 so the best move for Sony is to start grabbing revenue directly from Netflix, essentially "double dipping" for 2 to 3 years.
So what you are saying is that solar is a failure because it can't compete economically yet against a product which has had orders of magniture more research money and time spent on it
If solar cell manufacturers used solar cells to power their factories, they would:
(A) get the solar cells at cost
(B) get additional green energy subsidies (in addition to the direct subsidies they get just for being "a green energy company")
(C) avoid stiff taxes on energy
Please name the solar cell manufacturer that uses solar cells to power their factories. They have everything going for them, and people that buy their product get all those benefits plus more subsidies..... and you dare to suggest that solar cells arent being subsidized enough?
Sure.. not enough to convince even the solar cell makers to power their factories with them!
Due to these facts.. there is no reason to believe that the technology will ever advance beyond its current niche markets. Its not even close to being cost-competitive outside of its niche.
..yeah, making friends with Microsoft had nothing to do with the fact that Apple was damn near out of business (enough money to operator for only a year or so left)
Apple was gambling big back then because they had to... spending a ton of money they couldnt really afford to spend by picking up NeXTSTEP (because their own OS was in the toilet...) and then having to make a deal with the devil (aka Microsoft) in order to stay afloat...

A known liar, for fanboy reasons, may have been lying about other things too. For example, the price of th AMD CPU' is actually:
AMD Phenom II x6 1100T for $189
So he lied about both the cost of the AMD CPU and the cost of the AMD motherboard.
What else did he lie about? I cant find a single SATA 6Gb + USB 3.0 motherboard for Sandy Bridge for under $89. Hard to prove that he lied here.. absence of evidence and all that, but we know that he is a liar so we cannot accept what he says....

Wrong. There is absolutely no USB 3.0 support on P67 and H67 (Sandy Bridge) chipsets, and it only supports two SATA 6Gb ports.
Furthermore, only one PCIe x16 2.0 is supported by this generation chipset.
The fact that you are not aware of how stunted the Sandy Bridge chipset is with regards to I/O, is telling... fanboy much?

What precisely is the downside to people thinking, or even knowing, that these phones are fake-leaked?
Do you now think less of Apple than you previously did?
The fact of the matter is that regardless of how you feel about Apple, the details about upcoming products are welcome by many.
