The art of selling change is to present it in a manner that they feel they've made the final decision, even though you did it for them in how you presented more than one solution, but the one you prefer obviously has the most pros and least cons.
Isn't the 5Ghz mark the point where you're bumping up against Einstein? I.E. - the speed of light becomes a barrier because the electrons physically CAN'T make it from one end of the chip to the other before cycles are wasted?
Except for the fact that our water is one of the main reasons that expected lifespan has exploded over the past 100 years. I mean, when was the last time 50% of the population in a U.S. community under 10 died from cholera?
When you're expected to live to 75 and you're worried about the quality of the stuff that allows you to live that long, perhaps the problem is that you *ARE* living that long.
How can I get into the "Charging 5 Grand to Collect Body Fluids" business?
Lifespan and quality of life has exploded in the past 100 years, and this dude is worried about some small concentrations of the stuff that has allowed this in his body?
Now what is he going to do?
Maybe I should get into the 50 Grand/pop "Home Environment Purification" business.
All of this is at the atomic level, but I do wonder how these things hold up to mechanical and thermal stress.
To stretch the silicon lattice, Intel deposits a film of silicon nitride over the whole transistor at high temperature. Because silicon nitride contracts less than silicon as it cools, it locks the silicon lattice beneath it in place with a wider spacing than it would normally adopt. This improves electron conduction by 10 per cent.
What temperature ranges does this become an issue? If my processor gets warm, will its performance decrease because the strain dissapeared?
Would mild mechanical stress on the chip (i.e. application of heat-sink) alter the strain?
How many folks, would you estimate, would be willing to pay this 'freedom tax' of a lower performance card in exchange for access to driver internals?
Well, when the company doesn't have to pay staff to maintian the drivers, they can lower their prices and offer better performance in an even lower price range while still maintaining profitability. Doesn't seem like a "Tax" to me.
So they're releasing a card with serious driver issues, where the top of the line model is expected to compete in the mid-price range market.
Wouldn't this be the perfect situation to open the source and getting the community to squeeze every last bit of performance outta their chip? It helps them save money on paying people to code the driver, and it gets the most outta their hardware. IN addition, it would also give them a healthy community that would reccommend this solution to friends/family that aren't into the bleeding-edge gaming machines.
He's the one that built the Voyager - the round-the-world-on-one-tank-of-gas turboprop plane. He used an Apple IIe to help make the plane as efficient as possible.
Not only is he working on this, but his building a plane to try a round-the-world-on-one-tank-of-gas solo jet plane.

You're bitchin' about Arizona's DMV? Hell, once you turn 21, your license doesn't expire until you turn 65.
Best 20 bucks and 40 minutes I've ever spent.
How do you hide $100 from a Surgeon?
Put it in a Book.
How do you hide $100 from an Internist?
Put it under a bandage.
How do you hide $100 from a Cardiologist?
You can't hide $100 from a Cardiologist...
How you been???
We have a Winner!!!
Suggested tapers are to decrease by 1 caffiene equivalent/week. I.E. Drop from 8-7 coffee/coke/etc the first week, then 7-6, then 6-5...
Takes quite a while if done this way, but doesn't have many symptoms.

Actually, if you used both the products at the same time, you'd probably survive. But you'd be one fat infant.

Correction: Silicon Image 3X12 driver.
This includes the Silicon Image 3112 and Silicon Image 3152 SATA chips.
Stay away from Motherboards that have the Silicon Image 3X52 SATA driver. IT DOES NOT HAVE AN OPEN-SOURCE DRIVER.
Silicon Image has been kind enough to release a binary only driver for RedHat 7.3 and 8.0, Suse 8.0 and 8.1 and United version 1.0.

But the strongest case of all is from Al Gore.
So now they have your credit-card information as well as the time and location that you downloaded the files.
Pay-For-Wifi isn't going to be the protection you desire.

Yeah - when Amtrak starts advertising its new trains as SUVs.
Anyone run a release poll on that?
I wonder if Vegas has odds. If it does, I'd take the over.

This guy will get it done.
Brilliant, my dear chap. Brilliant.
But who cares, with over a billion people, some were bound to miss it the first time around.
It'll run, but barely on those P4 1.7 GHz boxes. Luckily, those NVIDIA can do 16 color screens pretty good, so you'll be fine there.
