Well if you're trasmitting digital without any sort of error correction, say SPDIF over copper, then the quality of the cable does matter. Noise WILL cause a change in the received data, and your equipment won't know any better.
Well TFA isn't exactly about who is the best overall, because they also don't consider system perforamce impact. TFA is focused on which software is able to deal with threats that are NOT in their signature databases.
So during the time between signature updates Avira's AV does the best job of protecting you from novel malware, giving you the best chance of surviving until the next signature update comes down.
I agree with you, if I didn't already have Nod32 then I would get Avira, I just thought it was worth pointing out that TFA does put another software package above Avira
Yeah, because no file you ever download could have a virus in it.
Seriously, firewalls are for protecting network connections and AV is for protecting files.
It's worth pointing out that when you take false positives into account Eset Nod32 becomes the only AV solution to achieve the "Advanced+" rating.
Apparently it detects 20% fewer "unknown" threats but had only 7 false positives, compared with 17 for AntiVir. This places AntiVir in the same category ("Advanced") as Kaspersky, Mircosoft, Symantec, McAfee, and GData.
Hopefully people bother to read the TFA, and not just this/. article
stop being biased.
Its just as plausible that the studio likes the movie (or is neutral) and is releasing 30 minutes of it to get some hype going about 'how they let the press preview 30 minutes of it!!!!'
Patents do not always involve "the obvious next step" and their intention is in fact the opposite, to protect the people that see the UN-obvious.
It's easy to envision a smart "little guy" who invents something novel and then is unable to profit from his invention because there are no patents to protect him.
Obviously the system is easily abusable and often devolves into the situation you describe, but it musn't be that way.
You've experienced liquid leaking from an air conditioner? I find this VERY hard to believe.
Have you ever experienced liquid leaking from your refrigerator's cooling mechanism? Probably not this either.
STOP BEING PESSIMISTIC
your examples of water heater and car radiator aren't really comparable for a couple of reasons. Firstly is build quality. Most car radiators nowadays use plastic end tanks that end up cracking, and when replaced with an all metal radiator last for MUCH longer than the service life of a computer (even the plastic probably lasts this long). Or your car's cooling system leaks from a cracked/broken hose...again another non-metallic area.
Secondly these systems experience far greater temperature swings, and must handle temperatures far in excess (and potentially far below) of the temperatures required for computer cooling.
Simple rebuttal: How many people have experienced a leak in a heatpipe based (liquid based) computer cooling device? probably very very few.
You'd probably dislike the graphic novels then because they carry the same themes as the movies.
Personally I don't share your distaste for misogyny or violence and find his story telling to be quite good! Not to mention his artistic style is captivating.
Really? Most of what I read is that in some situations ReadyBoost has an impact, but in day to day use most users report thats its not noticeable.
As I've never tried it myself (don't run Vista) I'm interested to know if it's worthwhile
because the only considerations that should come into play when switching from fossil fuels is the bottom line in dollar terms:(
I'm sad to hear that reducing your environmental impact "just wasn't worth it"
wow, as a hip-hop fan I find the astrobiology to be much better, specifically because it takes itself seriously. The LHC rap is funny and quality fare for youtube, but its more of a joke to me.
Not to mention rapping with the british accent always makes me smile!
Wow what an economic system. Companies are allowed to run rampant, but due to their size when they fail, which is the logical course of their rampant action, they get bailed out to save the economy!
man what a design!
clearly sir you are in the minority. Maybe you're #20 school is somehow above the norm, but the norm is definately that asian over-achievers have incredibly demanding parents. Seems to be a cultural thing, related to the traditions involving taking care of your elders (family) and needing to be successful in order to do so.
Whether this leads them to burn out in college is another issue.
yeah did you ever consider that it has to do with the fact that in GPL you're driving cars that have a fraction of the overall grip available in a modern sports car (GT4)?
Papyrus does have a good physics team, but you're DEEPLY mistaken to think that Polyphony doesnt know what they are doing. I urge you to watch ANY development video of GT5 and come to the same conclusion that you posted here. Papyrus isnt some sort of magicians.
I wouldn't call this representative of the market as a whole. Valve sells ZERO graphics intensive games. Thus one could conclude that their survey is likely skewed away from high-end cards.
One could imagine that if Crytek did the same survey it would be supremely skewed in the other direction, towards high end cards.
Your point is still valid, in that most people DONT buy high end cards and stay in the sub $200 market (at best), or just stick with what their computer came with.

Sux to be you. I can peg my connection at full speed, all the time. Large torrent swarms easily saturate the full 8mbit
hahhaha the most unrealistic game felt "real"

the problem with lax regulation is that it allows for corruption.
