1) if I need linux and do not care about video performance I am just going to drop in the disc and go 2) where the fuck did ubuntu come in? and yes you guys generally do, everyone else moved on to other distros
just what I want, to pull out my laptop and proceed to build it up at the conference room, for me its useless in a desktop, and all I really want my laptop to do is be a anywhere dumb terminal for my desktop. but its not just about me, look at the history, we had PCMCIA and CARDBUS before which were more or less ISA and PCI slots on your laptop and most people did fuck all nothing with them aside from a modem or maybe network cards.
E-SATA? anyone use that? most people dont know what it is. Display port, great if you want to hook up 6 projectors no one owns, and even more savy people are asking "what is that for", Anyone use firewire outside of mac people for hard drives? Every time I pop open a new laptop I look at all the new ports that no one hardly uses and think to myself, "jee a basic RS232 port would get more use"
oddly enough I dont remember our round thermostat with a backlight, lcd or colors, it was that pukey fake bronze, with the majority of it on cheap plastic made up to look like crystal, that controlled a dial. it also has switches sticking out the top and bottom.
making something EXACTLY is not the same as similar, in your argument every rectangular music player should be sued out of existence by apple, and anyone else making a muscle car should be nuked by ford, but sorry, it doesnt work that way, honeywell does not own round.
nor that the spark gap generator on the titanic (and its sisters) produced a fairly unique, "almost musical tone", and that help was on the way shortly after the signals were sent (and those signals were greatly delayed due to mostly arrogance)...
I agree to a point, in the 2000's people were going ape shit for switches, for what? 2-3 computers on a 768k internet connection?
Heck even today thats all I really use (ok maybe 4 computer on a 10 meg connection, but not all at the exact same time) its actually rare that I transfer mass amounts of data over my home network, frankly its just faster to pop in a 120 gig hard disk and make backups rather want slog though the network, when I have to do a serious full backup of personal data.
but heck I was talking about the early 90's people flipping out over switches, where a 40$ hub was compared to a 100$ switch. even in work situations there has only been 2 times where mass amounts of data was flowing all at the exact same time, one was in a refurb center with 60 clients at a time and a ghost server, the other was a national photography development studio for school and church (where they used wifi so apparently it wasnt that important)
every other time its been a 5 min email check, and maybe a handful of bytes sent to a database at random
oh well I lost that battle, switches are disposable now, and it doesnt matter anymore
""Ever wished that you could defeat Bowser literally right from your coffee table with giant built in buttons?"
No, why the hell would I want to do that, that sounds like a really bad controller, and frankly its a dumb thing to ask. Ever wish you could drive a car with a 90 foot steering wheel?
Currently the best the MS trolls can seem to muster is "UH DURHP WINDOWS ME" or "guilty of anti-trust" both from a decade ago, now go get an apple, google, or wastebook troll fired up and they can spit out at least 10 things just from the last 3 months.
so dude, take a breath, your favorite monopoly is doing OK for now, you can wipe the tears away.
you know that bit of plastic with my information encoded on the back, I swipe it into a miniature computer where that information wisks away to be validated and approved... fucking smoke signals?
its just a pet peeve of mine... digital
digital currency, fucking already have it digital distribution, thank god, those fucking analog CD's and DVD's were so poor sounding when I copied them in my car digital download, how the hell else is that going to work?
I dont know what shit for brains started replacing "internet" with "digital' but its fucking retarded
when a downed FBI angent screams officer down they will be comforted by the fact that their medical personal trained behind a sony with a analog controller and a mountain dew
Dont get me wrong, games can be high stress, but not nearly as high stressed as one wrong move and you cease to exist, games a have reset button and a spawn location
I grew up in, and still live in a "right to work" state, which really means the employers have absolutely no reason to even give you a reason as they boot you out the door. Monday morning hangovers have never been an issue, and I have worked for a few places that do not require a drug test at all with reasonable insurance, though you show up after lunch, glassy eyed and giggly, up your gone.
somehow its never been a problem, maybe becuase I know better, and am not a retard who thinks just because I got a job one day, I deserve it for life
who said anything about 10 years ago, and do you think in 10 years we will have typical consumer machines with "chips with hundreds or even thousands of cores"
in 10 years we will be honestly lucky to have serious machines with "hundreds or even thousands of cores" on the same plane and not strung together with networking.
1) I dont have a chevy volt, I bought a 40mpg Kia 2 years before the tax credits, and cash for clunkers were announced, and a little bitter that I did the right thing and got fuck all nothing for it.
2) I dont want to sound too assie, but how many gearheads are computer / electronic nerds? This may well be the future for more professional setups, but when you have local racer Johnny brazing spade terminals for a simple toggle switch with a blow torch looking at written instructions at the drag strip I dunno, seems ripe for people to come in, take the fruits of your labor, slap it on a 1$ rom and sell it as a 299$ speed chip.
yep, its also why overclocking is popular/popular, robustly stable, and stable are 2 different things depending on where they end up at and testing tolerances. That 2.5Ghz chip may run at 2.7Ghz just fine and dandy, but out of spec with regards to voltage or temperature, even by a little.
you dont want dell refusing a gigantic pile of chips cause a few bad products, causing a quality alert, which is very costly and time consuming to both parties
pretty good, few years ago I ran for months on a dual core with one blown out, worked fine until I fired up something that used both, then it would die.
I still think switches on tiny low traffic networks is a silly notion, though now that cost of switches are insignificant(and when was the last time you saw a hub for sale) I just go with the flow.
Back in the day we had a client who dumped their hubs in each branch for much more expensive at the time switches, then whined that there was no advantage. I replied you insisted on putting your 2 386's and a dot matrix printer on it, and even threatened to take your biz elsewhere, you what you wanted, enjoy
after the data is chopped up, formatted, sent down a narrow serial pipe is so much faster than directly over a parallel link, and besides no a TYPICAL chip has 2 to 4 cores, 6-8 would imply a higher end chip that currently is quite expensive and not in TYPICAL use by TYPICAL people.
MIT please get out of the dreams lab once in a while
"and the employer can check to see if you have a pic drinking"
and they can look at it all they want, they are not my mother and I am well beyond legal age to drink, they dont like it then they can kiss every square inch of my ass cause I would not fit in to their "sand vagina" culture anyway.
Slashdot Mirror
especially microsoft
1) if I need linux and do not care about video performance I am just going to drop in the disc and go
2) where the fuck did ubuntu come in? and yes you guys generally do, everyone else moved on to other distros
If i didnt care about performance why would I bother to install something aside from whatever the system boots with on install?
If they just said please once in a while ...

I didn't include that because its true (glares at my 30 page windows 95 "manual" er I mean pamplet)

lets bend this into a tech story about radio!

what are you replying to, no where does it state "in 10 years"
here just in case you missed it, the very first sentence of the headline
""Today, a typical chip might have six or eight cores, all communicating with each other over a single bundle of wires, called a bus"
in case you missed it again let me point it out to you TODAY, A TYPICAL CHIP MIGHT HAVE SIX OR EIGHT CORES
