I recently applied for the soon-to-be opened positions of CEO and PR Manager at your company. My sole qualification of actually being alive has been nullified, apparently, due to the failure of Mr Sivertsen's raft within swimming distance of the Norwegian coast. In light of that event, I would like to revise my previous job request to include "raft support technician" or "sr. wetsuit admin", as these positions are now apparently available.
Thank you again for your time, I hope to hear from you soon.
After viewing the pictures on your website, I would like to apply for the newly opened positions of CEO and PR Manager at your company. I feel I have the necessary qualifications, such as "not-drowned" and "not-reported-lost-in-the-northern-Atlantic".
This has happened more than once in the past. Dell turned down AMD, supposedly because they couldn't supply enough processors, and AMD was left with a large surplus that drove retail prices lower, causing AMD to lose money while gaining market share since their CPUs were hundreds less than Intel. Intel is an 800 pound gorilla, and when they throw their weight around, Dell listens.
Swiftech is my guess as the first who will offer widespread, professional watercooling solutions for 1U rack-mount water cooling solutions using the Laing DDC pump, rebadged as the MCP350. I don't think any of the other big players in that industry currently have the products or expertise to pull it off in the near future.
What, exactly, is this... "item" about? Language learning software (in general?) is free, isn't free, works, doesn't work, takes longer than a few seconds to soak into your brain?
Intel, AMD, and other chip manufacturers must make a premium for their high-end chips to make a profit. They discontinue a speed grade once it hits a certain price point because it's not profitable to sell them that cheaply. I seriously doubt they're going to want to release even lower-margin, bargain chips that further undercut their more profitable high-end chips.
We still don't run it where I work because it breaks a few small (but frequently used) applications that were written in-house. Obviously these applications are not on the SP2 incompatability list, and I imagine we would find at least a couple more if we were to roll out SP2 on a large scale.
There are much better power supply reviews available at Silent PC Review. The SPCR guys are very silent-centric, but also test the efficiency, temperature, and stress test the power supplies as well. They have many more pictures, and even analyze the heat sink and fan configuration. These Trusted Review guys aren't even close.
Perhaps it's because they are excercising their monopoly power to keep their position in the marketplace. Just because they got out of that last anti-trust investigation and lawsuit with just a slap on the wrist does not mean they aren't still breaking anti-trust laws. Mincrosoft has a long and distinguished history of behaving in an anti-competitive behavior. The reason Windows is by far the most-used desktop OS can be directly contributed to this behavior.
Why shouldn't the artist's family members benefit from their work and creativity? The problem isn't that someone is getting paid well after the band breaks up and the artists are dead, it's that the record labels are getting paid. The current system is bad because the artists are more or less forced to sign over the rights to their work to the labels, who then profit considerably while hurting the consumer in both the pocket book and in selection of music.
In the last US national election, several of the politicians running for office sent their own spam.
Until spam starts costing them money personally, or they feel they might lose a significant number of votes over it, our politicians will do nothing of consequence in regards to spam.
Burning a DVD is not CPU-bound, so it doesn't seem like a dual core CPU would actually help that situation.
It is if you're making a "backup" which requires you to compress a dual-layer DVD onto a single-layer DVD-R. Otherwise, you're correct, the actual act of burning a DVD-R is not CPU-limited.
Silent PC Review has a good review of the Zalman Reserator 1, the only product I know of that even comes close to qualifying. It's nearly silent, more or less easy to install (if you built your computer, you can put this together, but I wouldn't recommend it for my mom), and can cool even the hottest processors and videocards simultaneously. It is not cheap, however, at around $240 shipped. I just installed mine, and it's the quietest, coolest-looking computer cooling part I've bought in years. Unfortunately, there really isn't another silent/easy/cheap option available. Seems like it's a "pick any two of three" situation.
Well said. They've been using deceptive and monopolistic practices for years, but aside from a few poeple in the IT industry (and maybe high-end gamers), the computer-buying public has never noticed.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
There should be an international ban on using the name HAL for any computer, piece of a computer, or anything with a computer attached.

or Aliens.
Whatever.
Dood, they didn't even have Windows back then. Most of that stuff requires at least NT Technology.

Wow, that was a bad subject. But it's not a joke. Apple has more material on their site than Cousteau does on his.
Not to be nitpicky, but I think you meant 3500 or 4500 pounds. The new Mazda Miata weighs more than 2500 pounds :)
Aside from that, I agree with everything you said.
Talk about a slow news day.

Can we get a picture of this thing please? Thanks!
Put a Post-It note on each one, problem solved. Why must everything be so difficult?

That depends on what your definition of "and" is :P
If you happen to be using a browser that doesn't suck, you may need to right click and "save link as".
Why does it always have to be about Microsoft?

I now feel like I just posted to a Playboy Playmate "discussion" forum. Nice...
