Mandrake was the shit in its time, and just what I wanted out of a linux machine. even then I was not a total noob, but really didnt want to read though the 2 inch thick redhat 2 manual I had, nor build the boot media for the solaris x86 I had picked up at a computer show. Just drop in and GO!
Then mandriva happened, I went to go download it when it first came out and "nope sorry pay us for CD's", I am petty and poor and I had seen this thing called Ubuntu was causing some noise... been a debian man ever since.
Once in a while I go look at mandrivia, it just looks worse and worse each time, nothing there but a poorly supported redhat offspring, always on deaths door, nothing amazing, always out of date... why even waste the time when there are dozens of distros that do it better?
"Scientists have real computers to use instead of PCs."
really then what do they use?
ok sure I am sure somewhere somebody has a cray... which is powered by a fuckload of x64 cpu's, but really I bet almost all of them are using dell laptops with i7's and nvidia quadros
every day for god knows how long, company X is evading taxes though some loophole, and yet nothing will ever be done about it... both the taxes and the filler
yea then maybe apple could be competitive on price / performance, and if not? die
the majority of people are not buying 1600$ imac's when a 699pc out sells it, make them even more expensive then maybe apple will quit living in 1990's price land
Really? Apple is not the only company who does this to leech every single cent it possibly can without "playing fair", but besides that this is the company who's douche in chief would buy a new car every 6 months just to avoid whee taxes, or denied claim for years on his own daughter living in pretty poor conditions even going as far as saying
"sterile and infertile, and as a result thereof, did not have the physical capacity to procreate a child."
partly to not pay up, partly because he had zero responsibility to anyone but himself. You think he gave a shit about federal taxes, or what corporate culture that grew into?
Why bother changing now, nothing has been done, nothing will be done, apparently it works, and the second anyone suggest's that they pay up it gets spun into "killing American companies/jobs with the ternary of socialism"
it runs fine when your not voiding your warranty. You seriously want them to find the right balance between all the factors while accommodating some dipshit gamerz that want to run their cpu a GHz out of spec?

you would do anything to avoid a contract with sony too

so it takes 10x as long to hurt yourself with a 5mw?

LOL good one

FTFY
oh wow it was almost as easy as laying out a grid and sending it to china
oh wow it was almost as tateless as calling someone a moron while hiding behind AC, you ballless twit
are you going to be plugging stuff into the back of these computers? you wont be as flexible in 25 years
with more beef, which means large heatsink and heavier power requirements, is that what I am seeing?

now I can play my xbox360 ports (that would run pretty decent with a geforce 8 series) at 180fps instead of 120, let me just shit myself
here nvidia, have 1000 bucks!
states love nothing more than the fed's coming down and telling them what to do
they will bitch and whine and cry and beg until offered a voucher and change nothing but a couple lines of paperwork to comply
so does the college

yea, but they usually dont call it a
"Electronics Prototyping Plate Kit"
you made a perfboard
you are a hypocrite, you want tax loopholes closed, but only if it doesn't effect your personal investments.
that, right there, is the fucking problem.

now get off my lawn

its actually a bit cooler, intel does not give a shit about thermal performance outside of its defined operating parameters, and I dont blame them
maybe you missed a whole one third of the article where they were waxed, wrapped in grease, paper and tar
they can also operate with more than a fraction of a gram loads
a CAD drawing and a bunch of ad's, I see nothing built unless someone wants to pony up 35 bucks for a PDF file?
oh boo fucking hoo, go spend your gas, time and more money to get it at walmart and then pay a sales tax, that will show them
yea I got it, promptly trashed it, not out of spite, just the fact I haven't bought anything from amazon in a couple years
