    "With a heavy load (100% utilization) on both CPU cores, the difference between standard clock rates and overclocking to 4.1 GHz is pretty dramatic. The resulting boost in performance comes at the cost of 216 W of actual power consumed!"

    This processor, when overclocked to 4.1 Ghz, draws 260 Watts.

    The local techs don't know. Nor do the people on the phone. The funny thing is that the billing website tells you that you qualify for DSL but the DSL site says you don't.

    We are not in an area that will get FIOS as we are exGTE. The flat out do not wish to provide it but it may be as "pay back" for not getting everything they wanted to out of Austin.

    Verizon has a damn DSLAM and all the other equiptment installed in the CO of the town that I live in yet they refuse to offer DSL service to anyone. If the damn phone companies don't what munis to provide internet access then they should provide service. The first mover advantage still applies.

    This is impossible as we have been told, by numerious "students" from china, on this forum that such things simply do not happen and that the reports of such in the western media are simply because we "don't understand them".

    Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer, said on Tuesday it would agree to establish officially-sanctioned unions in its 40-odd Chinese stores, but only if its workers requested that it form one.

    Wal-Mart, which has long battled to keep unions out of its stores in the US and around the world, has been under pressure from the All China Federation of Trade Unions, an official organisation, to allow it to establish branches in its stores.
