    correct, both lics are for 2 sockets. it will pay off to go with a higher core/socket CPU

    License is also CPU (socket) based not core.
    so technically you can have 2x10 core (40 threads) to run lets say 5-40 vm's with the 4k license.
    no functionality is disabled from standard to datacenter aside from VM licensing.

  20. Replace Marijuana with TV!!? where appropriate... on Study Shows Marijuana Use In Teens Correlates To Decreasing IQ · · Score: 1

    Scientific conclusion: heavy TV use amongst teenagers is correlated with decreasing IQ.

    Propaganda: TV LOWERS IQ

    The difference is in how this is presented. A scientific presentation cannot possibly say that TV is a causal factor until at least all of the following are addressed:

            What can cause IQ to change over time? As someone else pointed out, it is entirely possible that sitting around doing nothing all day will lower IQ, and so TV's role may just be in discouraging teenagers from participating in activities that maintain or increase their IQ. TV can increase appetite (couch potato?) -- it is possible that eating too much junk food lowers IQ.
            There may be a particular trait that attracts some teenagers to watch TV heavily, which also causes them to have lower IQs later in life.
            Teenagers who watch TV may be participants in a subculture that involves other activities that cause lower IQ.
            TV may be produced using shit or mostly shit that is also absorbed when the TV is watched, and that might cause lower IQ.
            TV may contain commercials that cause lower IQ; maybe other methods of watching will not have such an effect (rectally?).

    There are a lot of things that can cause the results the scientists saw -- which is good news for them, since it means they have plenty of questions to answer. Unfortunately, the media will see this, ignore the part about heavy users, spend no time discussing confounding factors, and jump right on the "TV is bad" bandwagon. Typical, unsurprising, propaganda-driven approach.
