I have half a dozen heatsinks, so if I slap a p4 cooler on it cause I have no examples to go by and know no better, intel will replace the chip when it burns up right?
no, this is simply a way to increase their profit margins while shaving off responsibility, win win for intel. besides next year when these things are the sub 200$ line, intel will have one with a flux capacitor in it for you to hose 1400 bucks on
seems with all that profit they could just toss in a heatsink, its like buying an ultra premium car, and having to put a JVC CD player in it cause Bentley wanted to save a buck
its pretty shitty IMO, and its magnified by being a premium product, I certainly never asked for a only every so slightly marginally better cpu with a bunch of shit shoved in it where it makes the durn thing hard to cool, and totally worthless the second a new board comes with newer technology, now I have to engineer my own cooling solution, something even intel refuses to do? and of course when it burns up, and it will cause MOST heatsinks are pure horeshit to look neat, they wont even warranty the thing due to improper cooling!
that is wonderful and all but for the rest of us (ya know the majority of us) is not really interested in dropping 50-60 bucks on a fan to OC our chip 4% so we can get an extra 2 FPS out of our system (that will be worthless in a year or two anyway)
I am pretty sure unlike eggs CPU's wont go bad, and they dont hurry up and make a custom batch when the vendor calls, again its not food and does not have to be made when you order it
on the 5051 it would boot direct into rom basic in a second, if you wanted to do something useful you needed more space than what was reasonably priced at the time in rom form
yea thanks I dont get my future vision from made up bullshit in a special effects house, the age of sifi actually having a real influence on tech is gone, sifi has gotten even more outlandish with its bullshit, and tech has cought up to the point where some dev at apple thinking that compressed music in a large archive is the way of the future, is long gone.
so enjoy your movies past of futures that will never be, I personally will be doing the best I can with what is available
windows 95 on my pentium laptop with all the files copied to the hard disk takes 45 minuets, on this machine it 95 takes well over an hour and a half to install and is a swap zombie before it even boots
um yea number one definition of car is automobile followed by trolly, just because in your firefly rerun world car != automobile does not make up for the fact that for the last 100 or so years car = automobile
well talk to "them", I did not come up with the wackamamie naming thing, life would be much easier if your targeting a 386 to look for a i386 distro but thats linux for you
i386 means 32 bit platform now days, every single distro dropped the i386 cpu a decade ago
so go right ahead thinking 386 means it will run on a 386, this is linux after all, your lucky if you dont have an aneurysm trying to figure out where the heck the "desktop" is in modern distros
heck in many distros i386 will only work on a 486, 586 and higher including debian, and freebsd
lol I remember when I first installed windows 3.11 on a 386, it sucked 34 out of 40 megs of space, ran slow as shit and did nothing useful, I went back to my stack of dos crap that made that 40 meg MFM drive seem like a endless cavern
that was normal, in 1995... today your lucky if you can find more than a couple sites that even document how to deal with a 386, and a trillion hits of "um can I run linux on a 1.4ghz 1gb pentium 3, its really old"

its simple, they dont release a major revision every week

sorry but fuck that

well if the chips wont be coming with a official Intel brand approved OEM cooler, then where is it going to come from...
I love the argument that the man is spending money elsewhere so it needs to be spent here too, its so circular
can you do that in 4? I havent tried to

IBM and microsoft needed a bit more than basic
on the 5051 it would boot direct into rom basic in a second, if you wanted to do something useful you needed more space than what was reasonably priced at the time in rom form
its not like they design them to be crippled, they make a batch, they test that batch and sort that batch
would you suggest that they only target what they are going for and throw the others away? that will drive down chip cost for sure
if its going into a 386 I doubt you would care about its speed

1.21 jigawatts and it might equal the power of a industrial space heater and a low end Pentium 3 hehe

k thanks
yea like driving cars up it as in TFA, you have MILES of gavity to defeat and these clowns forgot gravity
its now how I see the world that makes it stupid, its the god damned facts of the world that makes it stupid
well right there in the article its talking about driving cars up it ... never mind the MILES of gravity its seriously talking about cars driving up it
grats?
I get that people want to nerd out and iron the issues out on such a wacky idea
but seriously?
"One of the trickiest questions is who's going to pay for the operational costs when an elevator is eventually built"
its never going to be built! cause its fucking stupid idea, and because outside of a serious brain exercise it holds no value

did you do it in under an hour? first line of the article states that special fact
