You can get 200 miles range in 30 minutes. The number of superchargers is being multiplied by 3x by fall. Winter 2013 for coast to coast driving. 2014 for 95% of the populous in range.
Try driving from Florida to Vancouver for free with your diesel like a Tesla could do in 2014.
Why would they tow a generator when they can plug into the FREE supercharger network and juice up in 30 mins? There are many now but by fall (right around the corner) there will be 29 from Florida to Maine. Only the tip of Maine and the panhandle of Florida will be out of range on the east coast.
Where I work is a Microsoft shop. Almost all of the servers are Microsoft with the emphasis on keeping it that way. If I was told to convert 50% my machines over to Linux I could do it pretty quickly. Now will this price increase make this happen?
And even worse, letting it slip in advance? None of them ever read slashdot!
Partitioning and reducing the number of eyes on data is a good idea. Re-checking the people with access to the most sensitive information is a good idea. Blanket orders from higher up administration who do not understand the problem, BAD IDEA. 'Automation' that could allow one person (with access legit or not) to get to even more information than before, recipe for disaster.
Seems like someone from upper management saw a presentation on this subject (from a vendor) and now thinks they know everything.
They are probably referring to Amazon, but Newegg has probably taken more of their business. I do not see Newegg loosing huge sums of money on older inventory.
As a former reseller and heavy previous buyer from their sister company Evertek.com, we slowed our pace greatly when geeks.com came out as they were undercutting us on many deals straight to the consumer. They also sometimes kept stock on geeks.com that they sold out on evertek.com which left us with a bad taste.
If no apps other then the benchmarker run at 533Mhz, then overclocking is a fair word even if the CPU is rated for 533Mhz. If even 20% of the apps were allowed to run at 533Mhz then I would say otherwise, but NONE of the other apps are allowed to run at 533Mhz, just the benchmarker.
No, they don't. There is a difference between optimizing a system and overclocking just for specific benchmark apps. Samsung could get fraud charges on this one if they advertised or published the benchmarked speed. It is less obvious if they did not do the publishing themselves.
This is correct. I would actually be interested in Blu-Ray if it were open and not DRM'ed to death. 50 GB per disk with a $1 cost per disk in an unlocked format would have its followers but instead they would rather keep it locked up.
The Netflix free deal was over two days ago. I ordered one from Google and they explicitly said that there was no free Netflix other then the standard one month offer to new customers.
You didn't read the fine details. They sold more phones but less other items. Their margin was 36.9% which is astounding. For next quarter they are expecting similar or higher. What you are expecting is not happening.
"The industry analysts and pundits have been predicting this for ages: that while Apple led for ages, and reaped windfall profits as a consequence, there would be a stampede into the smartphone market, and Google would barge in, turn smartphones into a commodity, and crush Apple's margins."
Wake me up when this happens. So far it has not. Apple sold MORE phones this quarter than before with a 36%+ profit margin. Apple makes more profit in smart phones then all other players combined. Sure, it is time for Apple to come out with something new, but it will be a long time before the IOS/iPhone platform is not hugely profitable. If Apple introduces a new iPhone in time for sales this quarter they will continue to GAIN market share in the USA and in many other countries.
No. Windows actually seems to follow the Star Trek Movie approach and it has been quite uncanny. Every other MAJOR release has some merits.
Win 3.11 good Win 95 bad Win 98 good Win me bad (yes, I know win 2000 pro is missing from this list but at the time it was expensive and most were burned with win me) Win xp good Win vista (the worst) Win 7 good Win 8 bad
Agreed. I used to do the same, take in free donated systems and wipe them with dban or other zero writing software. It was easy and ensured the buyer got a clean system. The main reason why people destroy perfectly good machines out instead of giving them to someone like me (or charity) is fear of the type of behavior shown.
And for god sakes, you do not need to DESTROY the hard drive. Zero writing is fine for anything not containing national security level secrets.
This does not stop facial recognition but it does make it work less accurately. Major changes in beard style or glasses will not help a facial recognition systems accuracy.
While I agree it is financially prudent not to spend more then $25,000 on a car if you are upper middle class many people can and do without serious financial harm. I am also upper middle class and felt that i could get everything I wanted for $23,000 on the road. $30,000 is not too bad especially of the cost of ownership is lower due to lower fuel and maintenance costs. You do not need to be rich to spend $30,000 or even $50,000 on a car, it is just a matter of priorities.
Actually yes. Unless you are a smoker or moms cat's come down to the basement, the fan should last. Apple uses higher quality components then average especially fans. Some Apple fans do die but this is not common.
On laptops, for the power of the laptop, Apple fans are below average in noise. For large desktops with high end power, only the G5 would have fans louder then average. The Xeon based Mac Pro's are the same noise or less then a standard machine of the same power. Use the processor hard and the fans throttle up. The G5 on the other hand sounded like a jet engine under full load and was not acceptable for office use.
With Intel it is less likely to be a possibility. I have built low priced machines for family and friends with AM3 twin core CPU's, all of them are upgradable to six core now (and some were already upgraded to four core when those were cheap).
Seriously. It is better then having nothing and it is possible the dev could actually cash it in. Bigger devs could have an overseas bank account and get payment into that. Smaller devs could get products delivered to them internationally. It does not solve every problem, but it is better then no payment.
Even a properly blacklisted iPhone 5 is worth well over $200 for parts or for export into an area where blacklisting does not apply. To slow this type of violent crime the police and courts need to treat it more seriously. It is easy to spot an iPhone 5 and you would be hard pressed to find quickly an easier way to steal $200. Few used car radios or even flatscreen TVs are worth that on the hot market.
People who violently steal a cellphone should be put in jail the FIRST TIME for at least a year maybe more. In Maryland that is certainly not the case now. If you do not use a gun in the crime you probably won't go to jail even when caught with good evidence. The police also loath to investigate where a stolen phone is from GPS tracking information. They should do this at least in some conditions such as a well documented theft.

They make lose money on the Volt but they do not lose money on the 'Vette.

It is fraud.
No, they don't. There is a difference between optimizing a system and overclocking just for specific benchmark apps. Samsung could get fraud charges on this one if they advertised or published the benchmarked speed. It is less obvious if they did not do the publishing themselves.

Because the CPU is a component that breaks often.

Problem solved.
