    You believe this chauvinistic propaganda that only female mosquitoes drain the life out of their victims? The scientists are male, too, you know.

    The PSP and DS are targeted to two completely different markets, much like the Wii and the 360/PS3. People seem to not understand this.

    Out of the box, meaning it's not a feature taken away by any of the carriers in the US, and even if they did, regedit is a lot easier than jailbreak, and a lot less warranty violating(which can be a big issue for corporate users)

    Of course you could have done this for a lot cheaper buying an old WinMo 6.x phone with the old unlimited plan. Supports tethering out of the box at no extra charge

    and you're not playing games under linux that is going to max out either card, so why spend more for something thats going to suck up more energy and give you potential marginal gains?

    Completely destroy as in marginally better. And a GTX 460 1gb averages closer to 200 than 125. Cheapest on newegg is 170 on special, average price for the wide range of manufacturers is 199(sorry, I'll stay away from Powercolor and HIS, thank you).

    And driver problems? This isn't 2002.

    I totally agree. It blows my mind what some people say on here, but that mentality is rampant and hurts the future of the cause. It makes me wonder how many of the people here are naive college kids/basement dwellers rather than industry professionals.

    5770 is a nice midrange card. Plays everything well, mostly with high settings. 140$ is a nice price for a 5770 w/ 1GB GDDR5. For nearly the same price as the one mentioned here you're in CrossfireX with more power behind it

  12. Re:This is precisely why we haven't left MS on LibreOffice 3.3 Released Today · · Score: 1

    Obvious troll, but anyways, how many corporate IT folk do you know that have control over what applications are purchased or supported internally? The answer is none. Oracle and MS are nice familiar names to the beancounters and clueless executives that make these choices. They may even know RedHat, because RedHat provides professional services to support their products. They don't know "The Document Foundation" or "LibreOffice", and TDF doesn't provide any enterprise support, so you've already struck out. You may know that LibreOffice is essentially OO, but they don't and they don't want to know because they won't consider an unknown company to provide a product of such importance without any enterprise support whatsoever.

    Most science starts with finding out something that someone thought was impossible, unknowable, or simply unknown and reverse engineering the process to create a theory as to why it was happening. What's the big deal?
