And the indy car that won the 1974 Indy 500 is just as fast but new indy cars are faster. The Boeing 707 can still fly passengers across the atlantic it is just that the 767 can fly more people cheaper. The Mac Pro was a good deal when it came out compared to other workstations in it's class. So you will have the opertunity to buy machines for the same price that are faster. The Apple way is okay for consumer products. "Honestly I hate the imac because they traded the ability to easily upgrade the SSD for thin". It does not work IMHO for a workstation class machine.
Haswell-e does not use the same socket or chipset as Ivy-Bridge E does. It will take an completely new motherboard for the Pro to move to Haswell-E. Look now long Apple let the the old macpro sit after Intel moved to Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge. As to Apple dying I really hope not. I love OSX and my macbook. Apples continued obsession with thin and small in markets that do not really need it is what I hate. Had Apple come out with a nice tower and simply used a standard EATX or ATX motherboard for the Pro they would have had a better product. Of course you still have the problem with Thunderbolt. Making it both storage and a video connector is dumb. It would have been better as just a storage connector IMHO so standard video cards could be used. BTW A thunderbolt connection is no where near as fast as a PCI3 3.0 8x or 16x slot so do not even bother with the external card argument.
That is just it. You are using Z87 based motherboards and the author wants to use z97 and or x99 based motherboards. It will be a little bit of time before those chipsets are fully supported. Everybody writes Windows drivers for their own motherboards. You have to wait for the the community to write the drivers for Linux. You other option is to look in the server/workstation space. That market uses a lot of Linux and will tell you if it supported.
That is the problem with Apple's obsession with small and sexy. Of course if Apple updates the Pro this year all is good but given their history I would not bet on it.
Cars are a red Herring for carbon emissions. It is Electricity that is the big issue. The simple solution is to replace coal with nuclear, and wind backed by natural gas peaking plants.
Ahh but you see I agree with you. The thing is that it is not anymore moral to steal from the "rich" than the poor because frankly unless you are a multi billionaire someone is always richer and unless you at the point of death from starvation someone is always going to be poor compared to you.
" The fine is nominal — one part of government fining another is rather pointless, but it does show that there's a little bit of accountability"
in the voice of Sir Humphrey Appleby. No minister it is not pointless at all. You get to show that their is some accountability at no cost to the government in monetary terms. The error will be shown to be a problem with a contractor that is following his original contract instead of the new updated rules so no one in the civil service will be held responsible and in the end nothing really will change and we can get on with the business of running the government.
The reason is simple. They are poor people in the third world taking money from the rich people! Why should they care? They are sticking it to the man. Just remember that next time you feel no sorrow sticking it to the man. You are the man to someone else.
Because a video is proof? Have you never been to the movies? Did you not see Tom Hanks get a medal from LBJ? or Ironman save New York from an alien invasion?
I saw a picture of Tom Hanks getting a Medal from LBJ and of a large alien starship over New York so it must be true. I never saw a picture of Native Americans driven from their lands so that must be held in doubt.... In other words what???????
"If that were the case, kids who are overfed carbohydrates would be smarter and taller, not fatter and dumber." Every look at an AP class? Fatter does not mean dumber. Of course the best combination might be a high carbohydrate and a high activity diet for young people.
No you are not helping by watching this at all. And how are you restricting information from the public? You know that the journalist was beheaded so what information is restricted? Also you can find the video if you want, believe it or not Twitter and Youtube are not the only websites on the internet. Censorship is when you are forbidden from transmitting information by any means. Editorial control is when a channel decides that information is not appropriate for that channel for example you do not see restaurant reviews often on Slashdot. Civilisation is society judging you for what you say, act, write, advocate, or do.
"What you're ignoring is that the support for free software is often better than the support for commercial software.' I said free as in beer. FOSS is not always free as in beer and some projects offer support contracts as well.
Is it a social issue or is it biology? Maybe fewer women want to go into CS because fewer women actually like that type of work? I mean I do not see anybody upset over fewer men going into cosmetology than women. BTW at the top of the field you can make good money.
Maybe we should drop the idea that we need equal numbers to be equal. What we should care about is no one is restricted or prevented from doing into any field that interests them and they have a talent for. At my office we have lots of diversity in race and gender and I work at a tech company.
Wind and gas with nuclear will do the trick. Your data on power from solar is cost at peak production and no storage costs for over night. You put no value on zero carbon. And I am not confused at all you are just a zealot.
Cable companies are granted "franchises" in most cities. If you want fast internet net you have no choice. Add to the fact that we have been in a race to the bottom for customer service for a long time. You average slashdot reader calls anything that is available cheaper from china on Ebay over priced. The constantly want free as in beer software. And yet complain over bad customer support. Back in the long dark history of computers I worked in a computer store. We had a large margin on the computers so we took the time help people learn how to use them. Today their is probably $10 margin on your typical PC and yet you wonder why companies farm out support.
I am afraid you did not read it. It was comparing nuclears costs with Natural gas which produces a lot more carbon than nuclear or solar or wind. It is also using the costs of fracked gas. It said that renewables "wind" was becoming competitive with nuclear.... Wind is becoming but isn't yet. The costs are also based on our aging reactors and does not look at the cost reductions available from mass production of a standardized design. Also does not touch on LFTRs which offer a much lower cost of construction since they do not require a full containment dome. You are not even reading what you post. Yes if want co2 and fracking you can not beat natural gas. Natural gas is much cheaper than even coal today much less solar, wind, and nuclear. So if you are pro climate change dismissing nuclear makes all the sense in the world. Thing is that even fracked gas is not a long term solution.
Cost of solar at peak production? Sure it is cheap. Cost of solar at 6pm in December? And your sites could not be biased at all since on is called greentechmedia.com and the other nukefree.org. Puff propaganda pieces but the one from Austin supports my suggestion of solar as an opportunistic source not as a baseload. As I said that you have so self identified with solar you have gone beyond reason.

I resent that. What is a microbrew?
The problem is women no smart like us men.
That is all.

Of course it also prevent a lot of starvation.
I knew all that but their has been no new news for a few months.

Hey we are not fighting a war with ISIS at least that is what the president said.
