I try to post non-anonymously using my real name whatever possible, partly because ultimately I want the problems fixed. (Look at the polls I submitted for example) But I know in the real world that isn't always possible.
Afaict there was never really a decent low power quad core laptop option. It's not like a C2Q was light on power either and I bet laptops big enough to have a C2Q also often had discrete graphics.
Until Sandy Bridge, which is supposed to solve this by offering quad-core with integrated graphics.
I understand why they are doing things this way round, they royally fucked up the previous generation from a corporate desktop standard by not offering quad cores with integrated graphics
Not to mention mobile too, where battery life matter. The AnandTech review on mobile Sandy Bridge claimed that 45nm Clarksfield laptops would get from 40 min to at best about 2 hours of battery life because it was based on the older 45nm process and lacked integrated graphics. And the 45nm quad-core vs 32nm dual-core also led to things like losing AES-NI because you opted for a quad-core over a dual-core.
Personally, I almost always use single sign-on whatever possible and recommend it, but I don't use my Facebook account as the only identity. I sometimes use my Facebook account, sometime use my Twitter account, sometimes use my OpenID accounts, it depends on what the website supports and what one I happen to use. Many websites supports tying accounts from multiple services, I use it whatever possible.

From http://rdist.root.org/2010/11/19/dsa-requirements-for-random-k-value/comment-page-1/#comment-6413 : "You wouldn’t even have seen discussion inside Sony. Their corporate culture is very stovepiped, quite dysfunctionally so since what would be regarded as normal communication channels in other companies (even the highly regulated ones that exist in Japan where as an engineer or developer you’re given a task and perform it to the best of your ability without thinking of questioning any of it) simply don’t exist. So for something like this development team A would have been handed a fait accompli by development team B without any ability to question it, or even an ability to provide feedback if they noticed a problem. In fact the first that one team may hear about some new techology is when it gets shipped to them from some other development group (people complain about the lack of technical info from Sony to work with the PS3 but it’s not much better for people working inside the company, who have extreme difficulty getting the information they need).
So not only would Sony not have employed Root Labs to look at this, they wouldn’t have involved anyone else at Sony outside the narrow stovepipe that worked on it."
Perfect example: when the TSA's army of contractors "redacted" a document for public release, they simply drew (in PDF) black rectangles above the redacted text. Yet the original text was still there and intact.
Yep, the difference between vector and bitmapped graphics.
Yep, we are hitting another hard drive barrier imposed by the MBR and APM partition schemes. For some nostalgia, anyone remember the 504MiB, 8.4GB, or 128GiB hard drive barriers?
BTW, mangleme released by the same security researcher has a mangle.cgi that logs attempts to the server log, and a remangle.cgi that uses the info from the log to reproduce the exact same page. This could be done with this fuzzer too, but the problem is where to log. Filesystem access is restricted for obvious reasons. How about using document.cookie as a log?
The attacks created by this fuzzer occurs only with scripts enabled. But the same researcher previously released mangleme, which fuzzed HTML and leads to a significant number of HTML engine bugs being fixed.
Slashdot Mirror
Don't forget the lack of true XHTML support forcing people to serve them as text/html.
Now that would be good use of HDCP that is not related to DRM at all. Of course, to be useful, it would have to be always on.
It seems like there is a lot of hate for Facebook on Slashdot. I wonder whether MySpace gained anything from it.

This is a motherboard comparison, and it has nothing to do with the DRM features.
That is why study comparisons are very important. Unfortunately, they are far from trivial to do properly.

Posting AC so I don't loose my job. Don't worry, this isn't flaming.
Do you work at such a broken company?

Except that you can use both sides to fit 16 of them, which would result in 2GB sticks
BTW, on lawsuits, the four class-action lawsuits on this issue has been consolidated, and they recently filed a motion to compel discovery:

Which would make it even more epic fail, because it is not the right solution.
IMO, this review about how Sandy Bridge finally makes quad-core mobile processors mainstream is particularly important:

Yep, seems like this solves only one case of the bug.

Or just upgrade to 3G, which provides a stronger KASUMI-based algorithm.
Yep, IMO the events described in the article would only happen if the FCC were incompetent.
Linux solves this by using a central package manager.
