The big question is how do we get the voters to just vote against ALL incumbents? The Patriot Act, and all spending bills are passed by Congress, the President only signs them into law. Congress is responsible for 90% of the stupidity in Goverment. The Constitution calls for a "Citizen Legislature" that is supposed to go to Washington, do it's business and then the members return home to "real" jobs, NOT stay in Washington forever as a permanant ruling class.
I actually don't care since I will never get Vista(ME2). But when I see it on a box I will go to the media file under windows and delete the contents like always and see what happens. It's worth a try based on my feeling that since Gate & Ballmer didn't pay for the box or the electric bill that runs it, they have no say in whats on it or how it gets configured!
You mean everyone doesn't delete all the M$ noise files at the first boot? Find a winbox that I haven't deleted the media files from, I looked and there aren't any here.
You got that right! Pick up a new Vaio laptop. They are so flimsy you should be careful not to twist in any direction or you will break something. I think anyone with normal strength could snap one in half on a kitchen counter by just pushing (holt both ends, put center of laptop against corner in middle). Add to that the laser problem on the first gen PS2, the CD rootkit, the general lack of quality of all stereo components, it's a wonder they have any customers left. Sony reminds me of what "Made in Japan" ment in the sixties - cheap made junk! Back then it was also cheap in price, now it costs at least 5 times what it's really worth.
You are missing reality. Lieberman will win in Nov. causing the Dems to lose a Senate seat. A backstabbing attack by the radical wing will backfire on the whole party.
The problem with the candidates is they need to get their message out in public. If the voter don't here about specific changes then why change?
The comment about Hitler & Stalin was not directed at the CT voters but at the National Democratic party which just cost themselves a Senate seat in November. Liberman will win his own seat again and will be an independant this time. The party practised cannibalism on one of it's own.
It's there for the taking and the Dems are reaching. If just one would come up with "Specific Plans" to do something different, he would be a winner. Do any of them do that? No they just say how Bush does everything wrong and offer no alternatives of any kind. Just a few "I'll do it different generalities". Can the NAZI comparisons, the way the Dems went after Liberman was more reminicent of Hitler and Stalin than anything in recent political history, you vill not contradict the party!
And the other three majors copied them before the ink was dry on the decision. Fox is still the only one of the four to have anything approaching an original idea in the last 40 years.
Thats when I read about the concept in a woodworking magazine. The table saw with this built in has been out for over a year and compares quite favorably with the top 2 from Delta and Powermatic. It is a bit expensive and it does destroy the blade ($50+ each) but is well worth it. I think the retrofit kit for all other saws will sell quite well.
The problem is joe sixpack. If he can't install whatever he wants when he wants he screams for tech support. In admin everything installs, so he leaves it there. The biggest problem is between the keyboard and the seat. Windows on the otherhand will never be an advertisment for security in any form. Anyone connected with security outside M$ has already said to "quit using IE because it isn't secure and never will be" (direct quote from DHS summer 2004)and use anything else. Well since Bill made that POS such an integral part of Windows, the same rule applies.
The freq switch smoothed out the motor in the tape drive. There was almost no hum detectable compared to 60 hertz. When listening to Soviet boats we would alter 60 hertz up or down (58, 59, 61, 62) to alter our own background noise and unmask tones on that line from the contact.
When operating on exercises with our own or allied forces we used a special transducer and amp to play tapes of various Soviet boats. I wish I had the 500watt McIntosh tube amp we used.
Nothing run in administrator is secure, I don't care what OS your talking about. Windows default has always been to run as Admin and the linited accounts are to restrictive for the average home user, that is why they leave them in admin and become zombies.
Windows can be 100% secure if only used in it's original native, designed for environment - pluged in to the power outlet and a printer. The moment you attach any modem or network cable there is no security. I still wonder at times if anyone in Redmond can even spell the word security?
Anything that can be switched to 220V should be. I helped a friend redo his woodworking shop. Every electric motor that had the option was switched to 220V from 110V. Doing this uses less power to generate the same or more power from the motor, either as horsepower or torque (which is really a better description). The electric bill for his shop was cut by 40% a month by this simple change. It was simple, switching outlets and breakers was the main issue after moving a wire or two in each motor. The whole shop was wired with 12GA wire so that was not an issue.
One thing I have wondered about computers? Would things run smoother with different cycles? On my submarine in the late 70's the electricians switched a circuit roem the 60hertz grid to the 400hertz (sonar ran on 400). That was the only thing done and the difference in the stereo on the mess deck was amazing. We had a very high end Sansui system and the tape "fuzz" was undetecable. Everything sounded smooter and more clear. I wonder what effect this would have on hard drives and optical drives?
Could it be because close to 90% of all Winboxen run in Administrator mode? That is the default in every version before Vista. It will get changed to Admin by most regular users to install something and left there in Vista. The users don't understand and not enough people who do have a clue are teaching them.
I hadn't looked at the prices lately, they used to run about $500 above the rest and were worth every penny. If Dells weighed enough they would make good canoe anchors.
I work in a whitebox store. When we clean a customer computer we will always instal firefox from one of several CD's that get burned for each release, they also have other utilities that we use. In the lsat two years I have installed Firefox on at least 300 boxes, with only one download for each release.
Dell laptops are certifiable junk. Working in a white box store doing repairs I see more Dell laptops (4x) that any other brand. This is for hardware failure, not crapware removal. The screens can fail in 3 - 6 months (very common), power connector (all brands suck, whoever decided to use the single pin on a laptop should be shot), other video, and motherboard failures are just to common. The Thinkpad on the otherhand doesn't come in until it's 4 or more years old and the owner wants more memory or a bigger hard drive. They do unfortunately use the single pin power connector, but for some reason they don't have the problems that everyone else does. Maybe people are more careful because it costs so much?
It's the money! Six versions = six price points. It doesn't matter that the five lesser ones are just crippled versions of the top one. Think of the poor bastard in a white box store trying to explain the differences to the average computer buyer. Or the average sales clerk at Circuit City or Office Depot doing the same...Ouch!

IBM Opts for AMD

· Score: 1
DO you really think AMD is not planning to increase capacity? They are going to increase it. Will they ever be as big as Intel? Maybe, if Intel keeps screwing up like they have for the last 5 years of producing overpriced ceramic heaters. Don't forget this article is just about Opterons, not all CPU types. They can cover plenty more customers in that market right now.
"I think a huge factor here is the enthusiastic adoption of AMD chips by the big server manufacturers."
And the reason is? Maybe their customers wanted to spend less than was being charged for an Intel system. An AMD system is still less expensive than an Intel whether it's for a server or desktop. The performance differences are really so minor that 90% of the world couldn't tell the difference either way.
Thank you, I should have put that in the parent. It really is the combination of motherboard and CPU that should always be considered. Chipset performance is almost as important as CPU performance, since the first NForce-2 chipset came out, Intel has lagged badly.
Until Intel competes on price, AMD will continue to take market share. Servers are considered business machines. Businesses are looking at "Bang for the buck" and Intel keeps their prices too high to win this one. Performance does not have to be identical, just similar (these are servers, not gamer machines), then any business will choose the less expensive one every time. There have not been any real reliability issues between the two for years so it just comes down to price/performance. When I see a 20% or more price difference for similar products I wonder if ego gets in the way of common sense.
The triggers for what a stem cell becomes is going to be found somewhere in DNA. That seems to be the road map for just about everything in the body. There may be something even smaller inside DNA that controls things, who knows? Between treatments in testing from adult stem cells and what they keep finding in DNA, this has to be the most facinating research in medicine.
What has happened in my lifetime feels like the switch from the stone age to the industrial revolution as far as medicine is concerned. I will be 50 this year and I remember reusable needles for shots (sterilized of course). When a torn meniscus in the knee was removed, not repaired (no arthroscope when mine were done 72, 74, 75, yes both in the left knee and one in the right and I can tell the weather now). Get strep - a shot of pennicillian and a weeks worth of pills, today the chance of a reaction forbids a shot 99% of the time. Thats just in the practice, I was in school when DNA first became public knowledge. It's been a very interesting thing to watch all the research and discoveries, I wonder what the next 50 years will bring?

If Sony keeps stepping on their dicks with golf shoes, pretty soon they won't be able to screw their customers anymore.
