  1. Re:"Aging tech"... on Intel Resumes Shipping of Faulty Sandy Bridge Chip · · Score: 0

    My policy on CPU upgrades is at least 3x increase; there is no point spending money for 2x increase. better wait it out because it means a new chip with 3x increase will be around the corner soon anyway

    Awesome, good news to see antibiotics being developed even if they are all mostly aimed at MRSA and they are (almost all) Quinos...
    Lets hope they dont somehow add to the usual side effects of Quinos.

  4. Re:OEMs usually don't ship SSDs very often on Intel Resumes Shipping of Faulty Sandy Bridge Chip · · Score: 1

    I disagree strongly sir, the boards could end up in mission-critical systems thru repurposing. It happens all the time and this is why I think Intel should be shot for such a poor move because it may indirectly affect some poor chap.

    Also, "mission-critical" doesn't mean the same thing to everyone;
    To a NASA say mission-critical means a flight computer etc...
    To a gamer mission-critical means to be able to play WoW flawlessly.
    To a leecher mission-critical means to be able to download and store data safely ...
    and so on...
    None are more important than the other, people just have different ideas about what is important to them.
    So implying that B grade boards will be good enough for what you consider unimportant is shortsighted, dimwited and intolerant.
    I can also wish that you once end up with a B grade board as well and realize that it fails utterly at some "menial" task you deemed important. Then you'll know how it feels.

    But what about bacteria? are there any NEW antibiotics? because we sure are gonna need them in the near future. Yesterday's powerful antibiotics are now mostly useless...

    But no, lets pin everything on virii and just ignore that serious infections are in majority actually bacterial (and of course lets ignore even further that fungal infections are difficult to cure and can be fatal).

    Enjoy your sepsis people of the future!

    I am not worried at all about the current supply of brainless consumers, so it will sell even if you warn the brainless before hand they wont believe you because consuming = good, criticism = bad.

    If it's not available in my country I'll just get it anyway, I see no justification for this sort of thing... could be considered discrimination ? yes it could! and that is against the law, if someone wants your product, you are required by law to sell it to them without prejudice.

    The media would come begging for us to watch/listen to stuff if we suddenly decided we could live without it (which we can, in fact i recommend it)
