Are you sure about that? Everything I have read has stated that, while clock rates have plateaued, CPU performance increases pretty well every revision. Just because the new CPU has the same clock rate, doesn't mean that it is the same speed. I recently had to compare a HP Gen 7 server to Gen 8, only 2 years or so apart, same clock rates on the Xeons, but the newer one had literally twice the performance of the older system. Same number of cores, same clock rate, but the logic improvements doubled the performance for workloads.
This only mattered in our usage as these were for busy Exchange Hub servers, where they are CPU bound by the virus scan engine, so a double in performance is a double in the mail queue it can handle.
Could be worse... you could have no option of upgrading at all like many Apple devices, and be stuck with an old, buggy version.
Why do you seem to think this is an issue with just Android devices? The same issue applies to Apple devices as well, they just have more control over the device manufacturer, because they are the manufacturer.
Not to say this isn't an issue with Blackberry or MS, I just haven't looked into it with them at all as they are pretty irrelevant nowadays.
Sounds almost exactly the same as any Apple announcement for the past few years. Apple is doing this amazing new thing, no mention of Google and Microsoft beating them to it years ago.
I was just looking at that. Now that I look at it again, I realize that one of the "European" examples wasn't actually, I misread Netherlands Antilles as Netherlands. But Luxembourg is higher than the US...Yay us? The point was, we all need to work on it, not just talk about how much the US should do, as the US isn't the only high polluter. I was even surprised at how close Canada's levels were to the US. I consider per capita CO2 emissions the best measure, but others prefer the raw numbers. It all means there is work to do everywhere.
With more modern numbers, I would expect that Germany and Japan would be much higher as they pretty much turned off their nuclear plants due to Fukushima, which was the wrong thing for the environment.
I understand the feeling on the SiliconDust stuff, I used to have a triple tuner cable card unit from them (and a dual antenna one before that), but when MS dropped Media Center, I went out and bought a Tivo to do the same things I was doing on the computer. MCEBuddy works pretty well with Tivos too, the only thing is automating the retrieval from the Tivo, which can be done with other software. For some reason MCEBuddy is a little flakey with Tivo recordings, but when it works, it works really well.
The neat thing about Plex, is streaming across the internet. I can share my library with friends or family, or I can just watch it on my devices. I don't think Kodi can swing that, but if it can, all the better.
Ever is a very long time. Consider this, we could have orbital colonies in a matter of 10 years with the political will. Space isn't difficult, it is a funding issue.
Imagine how much NASA could do if the entire military budget (or Welfare/SNAP/...) was dedicated to it?
Saying we will never do something, is the quickest way to be proven wrong on all points.
It is starting to happen, and with solar, wind, and nat gas becoming cheaper than coal, it will happen quicker. Now that China is on board as well, maybe some real change will happen.
What I wonder is, who will stop those horrible polluters in Australia and Saudi Arabia?
But also, because the rest of the world could (and should, legitimately) tax trade with polluting countries, which could impact that selfish Iowa boy even more.
Funny, because the US pollutes less than many other countries, some of them even in Europe. So, who exactly would be taxed more?
If you are concerned about the greenness of throwing out working hardware, consider the power usage of what you are looking at. 3 x 240 = 720 GB, but at three times the power usage of a 1 TB SSD, and likely not any better performance. Also, likely, they are already in an array, but are getting too constraining which is why the replacement in the first place.
I do agree though in handing the stuff down, if someone can use these drives as boot drives elsewhere, they are still useful, if the data isn't classified (where they shred the drives).
If they are 3 years old, they are likely in the 120-240 GB range. Not much use after that amount of time, and easily replaced with all 1TB or larger drives.
Personally, I use a shopvac. It works well, and I have never concerned myself with spinning the fans, and have never lost a fan. Spinning the fans with the Shopvac's suction seems to cause them to spin so fast that the caked on dust flies off of them, showering the rest of the case though.
All the drink tap water, not bottled water people are looking pretty stupid right now.
Considering that bottled water is just tap water, you are looking pretty stupid right now. Read the label on your bottled water, it will tell you where it was bottled from the tap water.

Bullshit, please show a single citation for that "fact" you offer up. If they already had the data, there would have been no case.
This century? Google, Facebook, Twitter, the smartphone, bluetooth, WiFi.

Wow, that is way better than last time I looked at it. I will have to make sure I have this loaded next time I travel to the caribbean.

Check your numbers, the US is already below 18 tons/yr/person as of 2011.
Who is going to tell the Saudis or the Australians though?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... is a good one to loook at to, but only goes to 2009.

Perhaps because they don't label anyone who brings up contrary points of view as deniers rather than trying to address their points.

It can now reach speeds of at least 140mph and leaves a 50ft trail of flames in its wake.
Somehow, I can't see how 50 ft flames would be street legal as it claimed in that article...
Having used fax machines, I would say that it would fit if the devil forced all correspondence through fax only.
Use a keyboard tray? Perhaps they even have one designed for it, though I don't see anything about it on Lian-Li's site.
Standing constantly is bad, sitting constantly is bad, but switching between the two is much more healthy.

Same arguments yet again. Still nothing refuting anything I said. Your software is still untrusted.
I thought that was ruled as the space kraken attacking your ship.

That does explain much of what I have seen in the Las Vegas area...
