And than they stop selling you food, you are aware that the area of the country you want to separate from is where all the Farms Food Production facilities are?
The food is produced in California. We produce far more than we need, and much of the acreage in the midwest is dedicated to export or fuel feedstock crops.
We also have rain which makes things wet and having a van keeps it dry.
We have everything here in the states.
Vans are also lower in the back and so rather easier to load large and heavy items and many are sized to hold shipping palettes.
Only if they're FWD, which sucks.
Also we have pved roads s we don't need 4WD everywhere
We don't need 4WD everywhere, either. Lots of those trucks and even so-called SUVs are 2WD, and lots of the 4WDs will never actually be driven off road.
Idling, miles, and years each take their toll in their own special ways, and to varying degrees depending on design, equipment, and storage conditions.
Actually, divesting the fabs was more important to AMD's survival than acquiring ATI.
Absolutely correct. Now that Intel is faltering in this department, they look like geniuses.
Arguably, the ATI investment could have been better employed in internal R&D. In an alternate universe, AMD still owns the console market, but with Nvidia GPU cores.
Nvidia has delusions of grandeur. They probably wouldn't go for it. They want to be in control.
Unless you use your laptop often on commercial jets, ECC isn't getting you much extra protection closer to sea level.
The best thing about ECC isn't protection from cosmic ray bit-flips, it's protection from memory cell failure. I haven't had full ECC since I was a Sun guy since I'd rather have fast RAM, but it's pretty great when the machine corrects for a memory failure and lets you know about it so that you can order replacement parts without any interruption of service.
I am uneasy about 2TB+ drives. The way I see it, that is a lot of data running on a single/small set of failure points. At about 2TB, that's about all the corporate data I generate over 2-3 years.
2TB disks are cheap. Was a time I never thought I'd say that, like back when used MFM disks were $1/MB in Santa Cruz county, home of Seagate. But you can get two of them, and back everything up twice. I use two pogoplug v4s running debian to connect them to the network, because gig is fast enough for my purposes.
I've been proudly applying my included AMD labels to my cases since my first Athlon. (I had a K6, but I bought it bare.) And then there was the mockery, e.g. Evil Inside, FDIV Inside...
I for one would like my TV to be able to function as the center channel. If they've got it set up to do that, and if it will do that job, then that would be great. I can make all the other speakers unobtrusive, but that one always bugs me.
I'm nowhere near the target market as my TV is still a pre-LED-backlight 52" LCD from Sharp, but I don't see why people with higher-end systems wouldn't have the same thought.
As for the National Parks they should be self-funded by a private chartered organization.
Or they should be converted to state parks. Here in California we have enough money to keep things running, and we'd be perfectly happy to take all of those national parks off of the feds' hands. I mean, if they can't afford to maintain them, they probably shouldn't have them anyway. While we're at it, we'll take that BLM land they don't seem to be able to manage correctly. It's a sizable percentage of the state.
If you see the examples in TFA about the National Mall, it's not that people are trash for leaving trash behind, it's that the dedicated bins to leave said trash are actually being used as expected by normal decent people, but are not being emptied and thus are overflowing with garbage.
In a mall, you're buying stuff, and then you're acquiring additional trash which you have to dispose of. In a park, you're bringing trash with you, and it's more reasonable to take it with you as well.
We don't ban vehicles in the USA, we ban sale of vehicles, and let them age out.
In 1996 the government banned the sale of leaded fuel. If you're looking at it purely historically they certainly could just ban the sale of gasoline.
My first car was a 1960 Dodge Dart with a 318 ci big block, and a 650 cfm carter carb. It had 12:1 compression and also required leaded fuel, so I had to run both octane booster and lead substitute. Removing leaded fuel from the road did not remove my car from the road; it only forced me to purchase a fuel additive. Your comparison is not only un-apt, it is inept.
It was only a 2.5 litre and really needed a granny gear as well as another overdrive one.
Most engines that size don't really come on until about 3 grand. Makes for nice mileage when just pootling around town, but it's a clutch killer if you don't have a slush box. Torque converters are magical.
I loved my diesel when i owned one, but one thing it severely lacked was bottom end torque. Had to get that motor spinning over a grand before it hit its power curve.
A grand is great, though. If your standard is steam, sure that seems high, but if it's gasoline then that's incredibly low. Even turbo gassers tend to not come on until at least 1500 or so.
You are right, but the problem with 3-d silicon is that it generates correspondingly more heat
That is a real engineering problem to be sure, but it's also one which can be addressed. When there's no other way to cool processors, they'll start coming with liquid cooling integrated into the die itself. I imagine that the package will include a liquid to liquid heat exchanger, and that the liquid which actually circulates through the die will be sealed in, just to keep it clean. All this will be expensive, so they will do anything and everything else possible first. There is still some room to advance total transistor count per processor by using chiplets (perhaps substantially) so that will keep Moore's law going for some time without any of that jazz.
Seems like conservatives don't actually have faith in the free market. If they really believed electric will fail, why intervene?
You don't even understand the argument. They believe the free market WOULD do those things, but that it's being interfered with by EV subsidies. Then you tell them about fossil fuel subsidies (both literal and indirect) and they change the subject because they willfully refuse to permit any new information to enter their head and shake things up. Learning makes them uncomfortable.
Most likely it is because they keep hearing EV's are the future, [...] so they've probably heard there'd be people coming to take their truck away from them like the Gun Police they constantly talk about coming to collect their guns.
No, it's because they've heard those things, and they are stupid enough and have little enough historical perspective to believe them. We don't ban vehicles in the USA, we ban sale of vehicles, and let them age out.
Slashdot Mirror
zen 1 with nvme from 8370 with ssd felt like atleast 3x as fast for everything. its lovely. and wasn't very expensive even with fast ram.
I have a Samsung 850 Pro 512MB, so I have adequate SSD. What I don't have right now is work...

Vehicles depreciate mainly by miles, not time.

I would hope there's now a "Zen Inside" label on it.
The plan is to have Zen2 inside, probably. I'm still on a FX-8350, which is still doing what I need it to.

So you are OK with all americans giving california stuff, but not california giving stuff to all americans... gotcha!!
Other Americans take Californians' money every year. It very much works the other way around, kid.
Except it's not California's land. The National Parks belong to all Americans.
Right, that's why you should give them to California, we'll keep them open for all Americans, unlike the federal government.

"diagnosis of "mental illness" has been used to suppress political dissent by many different tyrannical regimes."
Some people are dangerous, unstable, and crazy regardless of who is in charge.
You're both right. And sometimes, someone dangerous, unstable, and crazy is in charge...
CPUs stopped getting faster 3-years ago as Intel, AMD, ARM started cramming in more and more cores.
That is complete nonsense. CPU clock rates stopped getting faster, but the CPUs still can retire many more operations per second.
Beware of the person with a single firearm ... and keeps it a secret.
Maybe. If it's a big secret, how much range time is he getting?

We know you too, Anonymous Coward. Run along now, and play with the other cowards.

This should be stated more clearly: Tesla Model X easily tows Chevy Silverado 1500 with the Chevy's rear wheels locked!
Pretty cool!
What's cool about that? If the wheels are locked they'll break loose easily, and once you break them loose they have much less traction.
Although I don't see the point of ICEing. Is this people trying to be stupid for stupid's sake?
They are not trying. It comes naturally.
