I live outside city limits, so I would take my shotgun and get rid of the annoying nuance flying over my house, how would my neighbor feel about it... dont care
I agree as well, when not playing games I cant tell the difference between my 2.5ghz i5 work laptop, my amd x2 electronics bench computer from 2008, and my 4ghz quad core FX... I can feel it a little in my wifes 3770K, but just a little
I work for a small electronics company doing mid sized work for stupid large companies, I work in the engineering department, I do not have a degree in EE, I am a computer science guy with 4 years of EE in high school, and nearly 2 decades of hobby experience, I have professionally written for 2 websites in hobby electronics, and I was hired after 2 interviews (age 34 btw).
Its taken a couple months and dozens of interviews to find another teammate that can at least keep up, let alone bring new and interesing designs to the table... and when your self thought tech can stump a 4 year EE graduate with a simple constant current 317 question (which is commonplace in our applications), that also doesn't know shit about a spreadsheet in order to present his ideas in a mathematical form, then yes, the chances of you landing a job dramatically decreases.
macs are worse, throughout their history they break backwards compatibility completely with each new generation, windows 7 only breaks some poorly written VB applications
We all love lucas arts, but there has not too much coming out of that for a while now, and its a smart decision to trim the fat, no matter how great they once were.

um I dunno I just upgraded from a phenom X3 720 to a i7 3770k and its a huge fucking jump
Mhz != power
but as I stated a couple days ago, unless your playing a game you cant tell a single bit of difference... it dont take much to run excel 2007
good thing I am not in charge of hiring then
ps:with all due respect you are a rude little twat
the same one that sees a image of someone and gives you their name, along with a google map and contact info
heh meanwhile the guy behind you is instant messaging is buddy to come rob your house using the exact same service
yea that has produced a bunch of talent and quality for hollywood without ballooning costs hasn't it
now I know why you are jobless, retarded and arrogant at the same time
heh start menu, obliterate screen, type in calc screen resumes, that doesn't sound jarring at all
XP has a 64 bit edition as well

gaming, yea huge freaking differences
Or like a windows 3.11 ui for an edutainment product that came with the computer...
whatever, as long as it works

A) its not my choice
B) We have already found a guy
C) random post on slashdot is not a good way to start
there are plenty of analog applications in the world, not everything is ran from an i5 and fiber optics
"You buy off-the-shelf hardware"
which just appears with unicorn farts and magic right?
Its hard to get talent.

ee's do much more than computer chip design
They do put other things in chips besides just computer components
486 min before the change, 386 support dropped in 06, so ok 1 supported it for an additional 6 years
yea, I thought "what a shame their games were fun" but that was over a decade ago
lucas what? oh generic starwars hack-n-slash with outdated engines, yawn
you worked a minimum wage job 30 years ago, thats totally the same as a software development house
macs are worse, throughout their history they break backwards compatibility completely with each new generation, windows 7 only breaks some poorly written VB applications
besides the fact that no distro supported it post 2000
