    In that segment of the CPU market price is not a driver. Dick length of the buyer is the main driver.

    Last year I bought 128GB of DDR4 ECC RAM for $400. Sure it is a bit slower, but having twice the RAM more than compensates for having 10% less speed.

    That is something about Hitler and Stalin that People forget. Both of them were very intelligent and good at what they were doing. The problem is that the stuff they did was totally evil, but there were certainly not stupid

    Bring back Jimny Carter. He was part of the design team and notably worked inside a nuclear Reactor. Yes you read that right. Inside a live one

  11. The Grid is more appropriate here. "Be a part of the Grid! Feel the Energy!" might be the slogan of the century.

  12. Not necessarily. I know this not for production but I just assembled a dual 14 core machine with 128 GB of DDR4 ECC for about 1100 $. That would be a 56 thread machine. Dead quiet too. Done parts off EBay some BWare but it makes a killer workstation

    Yeah, I think it is pretty sad that my Ipad has 2GB of RAM, is more powerful than a frikkin Cray XMP and still useless when displaying a page with text and a few pictures

    2GB is enough to save the names of all the people on earth with a bad compressor. If you have a good one you could probably fit the addresses too. It should not be so hard.

  22. I have actually worked with the French research institute for Solar energy, in fact I am extending a project for them right now. It is a security and burocracy nightmare. Much worse than in Germany. There is also the language barrier, German is easier to learn for English speakers. Nice people though, and they have a lot of state money to blow.

  23. Re: As the US on French President-Elect Macron Urges Action On Climate Change (newsweek.com) · · Score: 1

    I live in Germany 10 km from the French border, so let me tell you how it actually is.

    Sure, the general population whines and bitches about islamists. They particularly whine about all the blacks who suddenly appeared together with the Syrian refugees because, well, they obviously did not come from Syria.

    But. But. But. I work with several muslims. One of them, a Palestinian, is pretty much the nicest guy I know. He is a boffin with embedded electronics, and I like to talk to him about stuff like that. He works half here, half in Palestine, on solar energy no less. One of the kids in my kid's kindergarten is a Lybian, fled the civil war. His mom wears a headscarf. She also works, with a masters degree in pharmacology designing drugs with a company in Switzerland close to here. His dad is a heart surgeon. About 30 of the class is foreign, including a Sri-Lankan, several Turkish and someone from Africa. My kids are half (white) African, from me. Nobody whies about any of that.

    They whine about young men dealing drugs, which is the same as whining about white kids in the US dealing drugs. In short, the moaning is about crime, not about race.

    The islamists are not winning. They will never win. And they are not raping our women. IF they did they would get their cocks shoved down their throats real quick. Despite the liberal attitude French and German cops can be quite trigger happy. As for Switzerland, you very often see young men with assault rifles on the weekend. Smoking pot. No one is going to mass rape anyone there.

  24. No, most of us actually have brains.

  25. I had AF 3 weeks ago. I felt fine, just little tired. When it got really bad it had been going on for quite a while and it was a problem already. The electronic device might have saved me 3 weeks in hospital.
