SO... that cargo ship with a 111,143 cubic inch Wartsila-Sulzer RTA96-C turbocharged two-stroke diesel engine, or that Train running a GM EMD 710 (710 cubic inch V12 diesel) doesn't count?
depends, my dad uses it on a amd xp 2800+, though its got 2 gigs of ddr ram and a geforce 6600GT in it (leftovers from me) and it runs just as well as xp did
so? Altoids tins are some of the worst boxes to work with
metal and electronics dont mix, so now you gotta half ass some insulation, and its shit metal which is a pain in the ass to even drill a simple hole that does not look like a rat chewed though it
in the mac world when you close an app it doesn't exit, its actually really handy when your running on a slow computer but it was at best cute in 1999 on osX beta +, back when it took a semi significant amount of time to launch a program and its idol resources was low
now your smartphone rivals a early 2000's deskrop so its really useless
Isn't this true with any computer system since the dawn of computers?
from plugging in jumper wires to transfer a program from paper to memory, to tape streamers, to magnetic disks, to flash the slowest thing for a computer is its mass storage, always has been, and will continue to be for a very long time
And I think ATI was one of the worst. They were already loosing the competitive edge against intel before ATI but it seems that ever since they really have been putting all their efforts into ATI and boom now here we are in 012 where a slower, hotter AMD chip based on 5 year old designs cost more than the intel.
yea but (and there is always a but) if you had loaned the laptop and told you specifically to lock it down in a locked room, which would you be more mad about when it was stolen?
"they broke into though the window and used all their might to rip the lock out of the laptop"
or
"I left it in the wide open, only tethered by its power cord"
in defense of the loud bastards, when your printing thousands of pick tickets a day per printer and have a dozen or more of the 1 inch away from carving in stone devils they are it sure is nice to know that the ink for the fuckers cost 10 bucks, rivals the per page output of most lasers, is typically faster than lasers in draft mode (shit quality but you can read it just fine, + warmup time of lasers)
and as an added bonus you dont have to staple the fucking pages together!
every laptop for decades has a kingston lock on it, which is a little tiny lock with steel rope that loops around anything you feel is too heavy to lift with your laptop
If I loaned you my laptop I would be pretty fucking pissed if it got stolen even after my specific requirements to prevent such an action, and lastly for some odd reasons people often view laptops as valueless tools, which has always baffled me.
I watched a co-worker one day get seriously irate cause someone stole all the pens off of her desk, and while bitching and moaning about it got up and went to go have a hissfit in the middle of lunch... leaving a brand new macbook behind in a not well known but still public area.
This day and age you automatically opt in to everything, glance a shopping listing on google? Guess what? your opted in for spam mail and now phone calls, requirement filled.
I could not stomach the taste of coffee for years, it would make me gag... one day I tried some decent stuff black, and now I have no problem with it, though I still rarely drink it
"I appreciate what they're trying to do, but really, each person has their own caffeine profile and has to find where it works and where it doesn't."
ayep
I don't drink coffee, so on the odd occasion that I grab a small foam cup at work I find it makes me edgy, and it actually makes me jittery... breaking concentration. I sometimes drink tea, but tea is a PITA when no one else drinks it, and unlike coffee which I like best black, I cant stand tea without a little sugar in it, which early in the morning gives me heartburn.

"researchers have tracked black carbon production from fossil fuel combustion in gasoline-burning cars and diesel-burning trucks."
or did you just choose to ignore diesel in that sentence?

oh cool a new video ... why the fuck does this look like its running my my 300MHz powermac with its PCI radieon 7000?
depends, my dad uses it on a amd xp 2800+, though its got 2 gigs of ddr ram and a geforce 6600GT in it (leftovers from me) and it runs just as well as xp did
obviously the solution is to move the shares to an offsite location on a much thinner pipe

AMD is not that much newer than Intel less than a year, and in comparison Apple is just a child

"That means you could buy version 10.0 Cheetah all the way to 10.7 Lion for the cost of Windows 7"
until the last 2 or 3 versions OSX was around 129.99$ which throws off your cost analysis
