I just caught the article on ZDNet. hehe All I have to say is, who thinks Tom's Hardware is Biased now? I think he hit it right on the dot.
The Intel Rep said one thing that had totally turned me off to the company now. "problems with heat sensitivity" In otherwords, we didn't cool
our overclocked 1ghz good enough..
Welp, I guess the 1.13 being vaporware makes recall a since. hehe
I bought an OEM thunderbird 700. The only thing I didn't like, was the Heatsink was a bitch to fit on. I've had socket heatsinks before, but this was rediculously tight. Also, the new T-bird motherbirds like the FIC AZ11 make overclocking easy by just offering some bios settings. I'll bet any amount that out of the 10% returns, 50% of them are people pushing the CPU way tooo high.
I've pretty much lost all respect for Dell. They used to be semi-kewl, but their philosophy of sticking with Intel to the bitter end is pretty bad. They've talked smack about AMD not being able to provide the performace and stability of an Intel chip. And just a few weeks ago, I read an article on ZDNet that Intel was trying its best to supply Dell with chips and screw all others. Hmm someone stroking the other persons chicken?
Isn't that kinda being hypocritical? Many scientist insist that the conditions are way to harsh for life. But then they go and put really strict measures on the sterility of the spacecraft. If microbes or (life) can so easily be transported and then grab hold on another planet, then that would have happened already.
Thousands of pounds of material have been swapped between the inner planets because of impacts.
That also raises the question, if we do find life on say Mars or Europa, will people blame the landers on that? Or will they actually accept that its been there for a very long time?
Apparently, with over 5km of ice, preasure from surrounding ice would force the hole closed. I read this somewhere????. But Sub's use some speacial ultra low frequency communication, maybe that could be used to transmit to a lander, and then x-mited to us??
