Non news? Why? I need something better that Intel integrated crap but I don't like to put up with additional heat and fans, hdmi out and easy multi-monitor setup on a capable integrated cihp by AMD helps a lot in this regard for people that actually do work on their PCs.
Also is news because this chips were planned for 2011 and now we can get them this year, I'm planning on doing the upgrade in mid 2011 so by then this technology and compatible mobos would be not only tried and tested but also cheaper.
I think this would lead to develop smaller mobos, and better heatsink tech so we can enjoy small, silent and CAPABLE desktop units. I say it's good for AMD so this show us they are doing their homework and are actually delivering progress in the field .
Wh-Why would we need to compare a Thinkpad with some other Apple/PC product?:'( they are not in the same league, It's unfair, you're a bad person by comparing business machines to toys. What next? "I'm glad I have this Volvo truck to move this container full of hard drives, I don't know how I could do it with a Twingo":)
Yeah, that naughty people, you should totally bailout BP in this case. And make the fish pay taxes! they are getting oil for free after all, and don't forget the free PR from environmentalists and filmmakers, do you think those fish are going to share their film royalties with you?? ha!. If anyone is getting the benefits of this incident is the ecosystem, don't let anyone deceive you.
BP and all responsible partners are going to take all necessary legal actions to redeem our part in the profits generated by this incident.

So this win 7 OMG21122012ENDOFTIMESBUG just affect (I'd say its a feature) a handful of people at random, well at least I get FLASH hardware acceleration on my W7 box, and if I feel I don't like FLASH anymore I can block or delete it, unlike Apple.. oh wait! You can't choose on Apple land, Steve already decided whats good for you^h^h^h^his-H.264-portfolio, the same W7 decided you don't need your lame ass malware ridden back ups.
See? it's not that hard, COMPUTERS/CORPORATIONS/EGOS SUCK!
Linux = Does not run my software Mac = I would not put up with their shit ever Windows = you have to fight your way to gain control of the OS
We need another option! we need a 4th option, IBM wtf are you doing? oh righ, you're too busy with the green fad and milking corporations to care about developing a real OS.
I'd advice Madriva as a real alternative (the Ubuntu option may backfire), well, if that person does not NEED things like desktop publishing or audio/video production they should be fine, right?
On the other hand, who cares about system restore anyway, the favorite pub for your average malware, I use snapshot on a live CD to make my backups, no bloat, good compression and have never barfed on me.
Oh right, all those things you can't do on a PC with Windows or a PC with OSX86, since when the apple logo makes some hardware a tool and not the user in front of it? oh right the distortion field.
How is that going to protect you against the random cornficker bot roaming in your ISP.
About a month ago I reinstalled a Win XP with the SP2 OEM CD, off line. Installed the AV (Nod32) and got everything ready to connect the cable and rush for the updates, bad luck that while Windows Update was doing the check Nod advised me against an attack from a neighbor IP (that is, no browser launched, no crapware installed, vanilla SP2 and AV only). Unplug the cable kill the PC and take the disk to another machine to scan it. Even if Nod32 (not updated by then) stopped the attack, cornficker managed to infect two system files and to add 1 registry entry.
Lesson learned, now I nLite SP3 and all critical updates and start from there.
In the future I foresee your idea or/and something a guy posted above: a full design suite from Apple leaving Windows as it is right now. Since design workflow it's so different compared to other industries I really don't know why they (Adobe and Apple) haven't done something like this already.
I really hope for the Linux solution, If only Adobe would care.
So, you think that a car that can't go from 0 to 60 in less than 6 seconds it's crap?
>> There are very, very good reasons there's not a lot of competition in that market, and 90% of them involve bad (sometimes incredibly bad) business practices by Intel bribing OEMs to not use AMD chips.
FTFY
I really can't see how AMD chips since Athlon fail in that abused marketspeach term "quality" I haven't read news about faulty AMD CPUs overheating and causing fires neither massive bugs that corrupt data (Which intel had) because thats what I'd call a "quality" failure. Maybe you can fool the average consumer with that arguments, that doesn't make them real facts.
By your logic then we can be positive about the fact that Microsoft Windows is truly the best OS in the world by lack of quality competition? Or is the other way around, both Linux and Mac OSX are WAY better than Windows just that Microsoft have a monopoly in there, this is the same as intel.
Both AMD and Intel make good quality chips, both chips are used by servers and high performance systems. Intel can make them run faster and AMD can make them consumer/pocket friendly, which target market are you?
In WinXP you can do the same, but I think it does not give the same results as Win7. In task manager go to the process tab an right click on the process > set affinity.
You are clearly cheating in the e-Penis tests, everybody knows you have to spend more money in order to brag about your kickass hardware, otherwise, you will be labeled as a smart consumer which is not compatible with the 1337woopassHardwarez0wnzorzx label.:)
How it's Mint on old Thinkpads?? I have Mandriva on my A21 and it's pretty good but I'd like to get back to APT. Did you stripped down something from Mint? especial NetInstall? Lite version?
No I don't care to be moded down. English is not my first language so you might be right but I think the message it's clear: there is a limit between being just an idiot and being a sociopath, If anybody jokes about stuff like this, in front of me, I hit them in the face. the same as I punched some retarded leftist making jokes about 9-11 once.
Terrorism or natural disasters are not things to joke about, unless you are a psychopath.
Offtopic??? Bad joke??? I'd punch You in the face, for reals. Note that I'm not AC, and thats because I mean it, I'd kick your ass then, just then, It will suck to be You.
So what happens if instead of 100 8.3 eartquakes we have 10 @ 10.1?
From wikipedia:
>> Because of the logarithmic basis of the scale, each whole number increase in magnitude represents a tenfold increase in measured amplitude; in terms of energy, each whole number increase corresponds to an increase of about 31.6 times the amount of energy released.<<
This quake was 8.8 ram == 15.8 gigatons of TNT delivered The one (the comet impact) that owned the dinosaurs was 13.0 ram or 100 teratons of TNT
And we really need one, very powerful in the right place at the right time to cause a polar swift. You know, after that you would start to see random Angels coming to Neo New York and Evas and stuff... no in all seriousness a polar swift will fuck us all big time.
Don't know, maybe it's a good time to try to measure how much energy could this earthquake had generated so we can learn stuff. Interesting thing is, that in less than 10 years 3 earthquakes had been so strong to alter the rotational speed of the earth:
2004 Indonesia, 2005 Northern Sumatra, Indonesia - And 2010 Chile
I don't know, a pattern? powerful earthquakes more often? How Chile's infrastructure passed the acid test? Why this tsunami did not ended on Hawaii like the one in 1960? If I can see all this not having a science background I don't understand why are You complaining.
Are you going to nuke your beloved Joe Six pack because his machine running XP pre SP2 it's the central node for the bot attacking the NSA? Are you going to nuke your china-produced-silicon-backdoor-netbooks?
I see it differently, the moment you lay down a leg the moment when a lot of people will jump in your back, like a bunch of lions trying to bring down something big like an elephant. But I don't doubt for a minute that USA would rather see the world destroyed than anyone else being the boss. I don't think that is going to stop anybody from jumping anyway, were not talking about countries but rather organized groups.
Then why I am being nagged by the Windows Update to restart this toaster? I mean, I received the Aurora exploit patch like 4 hours before that it was available for XP.
Seconded, useragent does not work in that page, actually crashed svchost.dll on my win2k machine (looking for an infection now just because I'm too paranoid).. red background and all, less effective than ie6update. Why I use win2k? You want a more realistic test machine for a website? the only good browser in 2k it's Opera it can tame slashdot full javascrapt on a P3.
I find IE6 UPdate the best option, pretty simple and straigtforward. And with good wording you can pass the blame on Microsoft (because we all know dumb visitors will blame your page and the guy who made it) Lucky me I just have 5% visitors using that shit but I also have a weblog where I post video tutorials teaching the people how to upgrade or change browsers. Been fine, people thank me on the youtube and blog comments.
Don't just tell the people they are retarded and to GTFO. Explain without zealotry and provide a guide, they will follow the advice.
Or you can be a dick: Google Images "Joe Lifrieri + IE6 splashpages" He deleted them from his blog but they were, humm NSFW.
