  1. Re:What about shipping directly from China? on First Run of Raspberry Pi Boards To Be Completed Feb 20th · · Score: 1

    How many were made in China? How many were shipped to you directly from China?

    Well, most were made in China/Thailand/Malaysia and shipped from those countries to local warehouses here in India
    From there they were shipped/moved to my home

  2. What about shipping directly from China? on First Run of Raspberry Pi Boards To Be Completed Feb 20th · · Score: 4, Insightful

    For Asian markets, why dont they ship directly from China instead of moving them to UK first and then shipping them to their destinations
    Infact, for all non EU destinations wont it make more sense to ship directly from China?
    Will avoid multiple customs duties as well. (no customs will need to be paid for the UK entry)

    Showing bacteria and virii evolving to resist certain drugs is proof of evolution

  4. MSE is free with Windows, so is Microsoft Malware removal tool

    We manage to do it for Graphics in laptops (like Nvidia Optimus which shifts to the dedicated GPU when required, and the intergrated one otherwise)

  15. Re:Could we have a hybrid? on AMD Says It's 'Ambidextrous,' Hints It May Offer ARM Chips · · Score: 1

    Not really, since it requires a reboot to go into full power mode and doesnt do it transparently

  16. Could we have a hybrid? on AMD Says It's 'Ambidextrous,' Hints It May Offer ARM Chips · · Score: 3, Interesting

    A PC(or laptop) running Windows 8(or any OS which supports both x86 and ARM) powered by a processor having full x86-64 support, and a low power ARM with a GPU capable of basic stuff like handling browsing and media playback
    So, when you switch to a high requirement program (Gaming,encoding,VS,etc) the x86 cores turn on like a coprocessor and the work is handed to them
    The ARM handles the UI and other stuff

    In this case, making a copy of the data would not have required shutting down the site
