yes, this could have some good uses, no, dont release it to the drooling masses so 12 year old Tiffany can stream Justin Bieber videos while texting her buddy sitting right next to her "faster".
you can spend a pile of money for a well made think pad, or you can spend practically nothing for a chunk of worthless i3 3gig no keypad, no wifi, so poorly made you have to twist the case so the battery engages, large heavy SHIT that look like 1987 threw up on (but you have 2 mouses)
but is that really different from any other era? Thats why fans always make sure to mention their model numbers, cause some outside sales drone looks at his bottom of the barrel stinkpad and wonders what the hell people are talking about.
yea the ones around here are pretty darn large, but CVS has over 1/3 the store dedicated to pharmacy stuff, wallgreens has the back corner and 3 half isles, in every single one I have been to, from here in the south to the Canadian border
CVS has their share of crap too, but it consumes almost all of wallgreens. If I want 6$ box of trash bags, a dancing santa and a hair-dini wallgreens, if I want medicine anyfreakingwhere else BUT wallgreens
wallgreens has 2 isles dedicated to as seen on tv crap, cvs 1 endcap of 1 or 2 isles, we have a as seen on tv store, I dont need one when I am sick, therefore I dont go to wallgreens.
I call it beer, but then I KNOW theres two worlds of beer
One is a fine crafted beverage meant for enjoyment, maybe with a nice dinner and company of good friends during a peaceful evening. The other is mass produced piss that has to be consumed ice cold so you cant taste it, and drank in bulk for the sole reason of getting shit faced.
I dont know about that, I used to work with a bunch of blue collar South Koreans, I can drink pretty good, but these guys would match me with their beers topped off with vodka... sometimes more than 25% vodka in a pint.
cvs, right aid, whatever.. and yea they are well stocked, just with never anything I need, they are great if I need as seen on tv crap, paper towels, garbage toys, film processing or want to play "theres only 2 people working here, neither are at the cash register", but when I need some breath right strips and a bottle of HBP cold medicine I can never find it in the whole 3 half isles that dont look like a dollar tree exploded.
that never has anything I want so I end up going to the CVS across the street. Never understood how places like kmart and walgreens stay in business, espectally wallgreens, which is a drug store, with less medical supplies in it than the grocery store.
and in 7 years the entire market would have moved on, meanwhile consoles are still frozen in time, when I say embedded I mean things like android that will just about run on a toaster if you wanted it to, then tomorrow run it on a quad core with a brand new nvidia chipset
let me repeat, CONSOLES ARE FROZEN IN TIME, no other computer product does that, you still may have a motorola razor, but its not the same motorola razor you had in 2005, your PS3 is.
optimizing games for a 10 year old architecture is what we have now, and gee golly its out of date and wasteful of modern hardware. By not locking themselves in a long term 1 product only contract they have the ability to continually advance while software lags in terms of months not decades, like what we have today.
yea but that optimization only lasts a few months before its totally outdated, usually before the console hits the stores. The embedded solutions on the other hand have a much higher rate of product rotation meaning you can get the latest n greatest out to customers without holding up fab on a 10 year old design for systems that usually only have high sales within the first couple of years.
in my case linux doesnt even have the ability to detect a monitor correctly
I formatted my drive, installed windows 7, even in setup with no drivers it ran at my native 1280x1024 resolution, linux on the other hand tossed it into some weird ass resolution at 50Hz causing the lcd to spaz like crazy, swore up and down that my VGA connector was plugged into the HDMI port, and when I installed the nvidia driver I didnt see X for the next two nights.
As I stumbled around nano and links -g whipping up a fucking hack script using xrandr I sat there wondering why the hell I ever started using this software in the first place... but then I remembered that it used to have no problems detecting my monitor... once KDE 4.9 loaded I just sat there for a moment thinking of how far backwards linux has moved in the last couple years.
when people spill coffee on their keyboard to dock their pay for destruction
people stop spilling coffee, course I come from a time when computers and time cost money, and drinking coffee at your desk is prohibited if your a dumbass spilling your drink on a production machine.
My chips are always being damaged in specific places using high-powered lasers, and not the whole thing going up in a puff of smoke and small explosion if there is enough current.
vs the 2 second CNN news spot that flashed across the screen never to be seen again, the entire time you were somewhat relevant right?
Gore, I have met you, we used to live in the same state, met you many time when you were local, seen you in person during your peek, now your just a lunatic, please shut up and grow into retirement gracefully.
wrong dude, that electric motor is not assisting 100% of the time, neither is the gas motor
its in stages
so you get X hp from the electric, and Y from the gas
if they were both on at the same time THEN you would get a combined HP, but they are not, its marketing bullshit, something I would think an ultra premium brand is above as it treats their customers as utterly stupid

Some clown selling his house for virtual trinkets, or that that dumpy looking placed on claimed land is worth 400,000
60 grand wouldn't be bad if it actually achieved a goal, but it doesnt
its heavily overcast here and I am hundreds of miles from the east coast ya douche
probably one who is offended by the idea of a big dongle enough to get a couple real dorks fired
the world existed before you noticed your ability to think, and yes it is on par with megaman in the NES classics

I have room in my life for both.

I would argue bread is a bigger factor of cultivation, but beer is a close runner up
beer "back then" had extremely low alcohol content, thats why they could drink it morning noon and night without catching more than a slight buzz

dont forget car analogies
If I did not know better I am not sure its really a bad thing
