Okay let me put it this way. You're an idjit, D&H has the right to protect their name from being sullied when they didn't ship anything like that because in this day and age: Name recognition means all.
That's bloody insightful in my book. Not even with sarcasm, personally if idjit joe can figure out how to make it work and work well. And there's a low failure rate it means that it's safe to use with half of my family.
Generally no. I got out of the business around 2001/2002. I'd simply built enough machines(personal, business desktop and servers), seen enough hardware(reading over facts/figures/advantages of *insert array type* and so on), pushed enough units out of the door to businesses(upto 10k/mo). That I didn't care to see what hardware was what anymore. I was glad I didn't have to worry about configuring fibre arrays, tinkering around with SCSI chains and wondering why *insert here* wasn't working on the chain but later drives were. Getting screwed around by vendors on mobo prices/cpus/memory at every turn.
I'd had enough, and I simply said that when I was done no more. I built a new machine back about 5mo ago. It ran me $200 in parts(I kept everything else HDD's, CD/DVD Recorder, etc), it's a good mid-range machine. When I went hunting for what I was looking for it still took me 3 days to figure out what was my best options. I actually miss the days when you could plug a Cyrix/AMD/Intel chip into one motherboard and they'd all work. Either by auto-configuration, or by dip switches/jumpers.
Living in Canada I agree, the biggest problem that you all face down there is that you need to remove the plutonium ban along with it. I enjoy our multi-function fuel reactors, it makes life easy.
There's been plenty of articles published on the amount of land that wind takes up in the terms of power generation. The current round are inefficient, they're good as a stop-gap filler but that's it. Speaking of wind, we haven't had more then a slight breeze where I live for over a week. Or sun until today. Very good for wind I think. Personally we just need to move forward get nukes back on track and make the big push towards fusion.
You can call it retail overclocking all you want until you're buying 4000 units marked at one speed, and getting in actual 4000 units of something that's only 60% of the price. Scamming is scamming no matter which way you try and cut it.
I find it odd that the systems in vehicles do not have a default "debugging" which should basically trigger the vehicle to stop.
Not stop but most vehicles have a thing called limp mode, which causes the vehicle to kick into a safe state where it can only go upto 45-50mph and has very low acceleration. There was a time when limp mode only had a drivable range of 60mi to get you to a service center of some kind, but the distance is much larger now.
Well considering in Canada you can't get FTTH in most places, and only in a very few select spots. Most places don't even have FTTN here. It's not upgraded because the ones who own the lines are unwilling to upgrade until capacity is at 300% or more. Plus operating an ISP using DSL or Cable is downright hostile to independents, see the issues that Teksavvy has been having.
Good point. Despite that I like the G&M to read, this is atypical BS from Bell. I'd like to happily remind people that around 54% of Canada's population(about 17m) lives between Windsor and Montreal, and are within 100mi of the US border. Bell itself is a terrible company, right along with the cable providers(Rogers, Videotron, Cogeco, etc) in Canada.
Other comments above me apply. But silkscreening of CPU's was also a really common way of faking a CPU back in the days when mobo's could use more then one chip type. Then there were the CPU's for the SLOT-A's where someone had actually taken the time to pull them carefully apart, dink around with them so they'd be a higher clock. Put them back together with seals, and rescreen the box. Selling a low-end P3 or Athlon for three times the price.
Seriously though, the easiest way to spot an asian knockoff is if the chip is stamped "Intrel".
Slightly funny but I should have kept some of the rescreens of CPU's I'd collected when I was working in the business. Cyrix remarked at Intel, AMD remarked at Intel. It was very hard to tell what type of CPU you were dealing with until you plugged them into the board and fired up the machine. Even then, some of the mobo's we got were rescreened with the bios' reflashed to be 'main brand'. More then once I got a ECS and PCChips boards that were rescreened with heatsink labels changed, marked at ASUS along with fudgy bios info.
As much as people don't think this doesn't happen on a massive scale it does. Counterfeiting of hardware isn't anything new, some of it was damned good back in the 90's and early 2000's with perfect english, and full documentation for retail sale. OEM were sometimes easier to spot. And I haven't even touched on CD/Burner drives, or counterfeit software(silverware) silkscreened as one thing and containing other software.
And people called me crazy when I said there was a possibility of software ruining hardware again. Those old enough should remember the ansi/ascii malware that ran around for awhile popping peoples monitors before there was sync locking. And they should also remember the number of virus that were floating around that would crash drive heads into the spindle.
No they(hamas and family) turn around and breed their kids to kill everyone else. Glad to see your antisemitism runs deep, let me know when you figure out why they wear the t-shirts. I think I said this already, worldly travel do some good.
It's 8.3m vehicles recalled worldwide maybe upwards of 9m. That's US, Japan, and Europe. It's also not limited to Toyota directly but their 'off brands'. It's happening everywhere, as someone who has a 'few' years of working on cars(including my certification to do it), the odds of it being an electrical failure of some kind are much higher. Then say a mechanical one, since the mechanical component is simple, you can very easily double check where the the previous state was vs acceleration state(since everything in the last 20ish years has been able to record that). The 'Toyota Fix' is to adjust the read point on the peddle, that points to the ECM reading the pedal in a different state and providing the vehicle more fuel despite that the MAF/MAP sensors agree with, as well it's possible to fudge up the ECM's on most cars with minor upstream surges from the power system leading to any number of issues. Or by simply shorting out various parts of the wiring harness.
The more complicated the car, the more difficult it becomes to trace the issue. If I had one of these vehicles I could tinker to with my heart is done, it would be interesting but I don't. It reminds me of an issue with some of the older TPS senors where the absolute values could go beyond range and force the vehicle to get more fuel then they should. The fix was to have the ECM compare the previous MAF flow vs the vehicle acceleration along with the peddles relative position.
To really boil this all down in the end all vehicle sensors work in either positive or negative mode, the ECM interprets this to get the desired value. It's not hard to make newer cars do all kinds of funky stuff. Failsafes be damned if the ECM decides there's a higher absolute value from a phantom peddle, rather then the actual value.
Seriously, I'm glad I don't live where you are. The land I own is mine, the mineral rights I bought from the county the day I moved in. Everything is mine except the 10ft of grass on the front which is allowed for road growth/utilities from the roadway. I can do whatever I want, I've grown scottish thistle in my yard and even had bylaw come by complaining about the 'weeds'. Until I pointed out that I enjoy making tea from them.
I'm guessing you live in the US somewhere, I live in Canada. I have more land access and property rights then you do now...that makes me sad.
First off, I suspect your parents would be ashamed to hear you say that.
Actually no, feel free to assume, but you're being ignorant. See this is the funny thing about growing up in a mixed family. Even they both realize that there was something that needed to be done. My father grew up in the 1950's where pro god-emperor propaganda still existed among the common folk, and my mother grew up on the east side of the wall before the managed to escape--where on both sides despite the great purge of Nazism people still supported him. Those that did commit terrorist acts in the US and Canada didn't get trial by jury. They got trial by military tribunal, which by the way is the proper way to deal with individuals who attack civilians, infrastructure, etc, acting as undercover agents of a foreign power. If you don't think those rules applied back in WWII on both sides, again you're naive.
In a state of war, civilians committing acts of terrorism don't fall under civilian rights. They're akin to spies if you'd like to brush up on your history.
The Constitution may be the supreme law in the US(much like the Charter these days in Canada), but that doesn't stop people from using it to attack you from within. That's why you have the articles of war.
Seriously. Not news--not even idle worthy, people have been doing this in Canada for years. I know people who commute from Trois-Rivieres(QC), to London(On) and Windsor(On) every week.
Back about 10 years ago, a buddy of mine commuted from Hamilton(On) to Winnipeg(MB), every week for over 4 years.
Let me just say good luck for the IOC on that. He's in Canada, his use according to our laws is acceptable. They can suck on frozen ice for people care. CA>CL>SL that's it, if they want to fight it they can move their headquarters here. Even then they're paddling shit up a creek.

Oh I know I'm replying to a troll but I've got to say this...piracy is a much bigger problem on consoles then on PC's.

Actually the US is right. Canada is pretty close to the middle-left, Europe is to the far-left. That sums it up pretty well.
You must be new here ;)
By looking at their UID I'd agree.
