You didn't even understand the original point, why do you think we would have any interest in the effluent of your thought processes concerning something you just don't get?
Watch Babylon 5 sometime. You can tell if any given human is a bad guy or an imbecile because they'll have a southern accent. In Star Trek of course they're identified by their shockingly fake 'english' accents.
I suppose I must explain the other poster's point for the extremely slow witted among us.
The point of the analogy was that all the oil in your engine will not spontaneously and instantaneously drain out while you are driving along, just as a steroid pumped German bloke with a screwdriver and a pair of pliers will not open up your computer after it's been running for half an hour and laboriously pry off your CPU cooler.
It was an absurd test which has left a huge number of readers wondering about Tom's sanity and whether it's related to the renewal of the ad contract with Intel on his site.
Perhaps you should make sure you know what you're talking about before posting!
First, it uses a standard ATX power supply not the 460 watt custom one required by its big brother.
Second, the most recent Durons are identical to Athlon MPs aside from the amount of L2 cache.
It was so that motherboard makers could give more choice when they were making boards with half the slots PCI and the other half ISA.
Because of the way the cards are the opposite way around it allows one PCI and one ISA slot to share a space at the back of the computer, that is you can use either the ISA or the PCI slot and they only take up the space of one slot.
I think the disadvantages drastically outweigh the advantages and now that ISA slots are no more we're still stuck with thermally inefficiently designed PCI and AGP cards.
SPEC is more a compiler benchmark than a processor benchmark.
The results are utterly irrelevant unless the software you use everyday is compiled with the same compiler used to generate the results.
This is why Intel SPEC results tend to be ignored as they always use their own compiler which almost no software company on the planet uses.
If they used GCC as many other companies do the score would be dramatically reduced.
I have extremely long fingers and I found the N64 controller was the only console joypad that didn't cause severe pain after prolonged use.
PSX pads almost crippled me and Dreamcast pads gave me blisters on a couple of my fingers.
By your reasoning it would then be okay for him to turn up at your home and kill your entire family because the IRA is almost entirely funded by American citizens.
If every group that suffered deaths at the hands of America's economic policies never mind the nastier stuff, were to take an eye-for-an-eye approach the USA would have been depopulated decades ago.
Shut that overactive hole in the middle of your face or go post on one of the numerous articles that are actually concerned with the subject you're talking about.
People are upset enough about this as it is without you trying to karma whore off the back of it.
Slashdot Mirror
What sort of crap ice cream places do you have over there?
Poles smuggled a copied enigma machine to the British.
That idea that they broke the Enigma code is the most childish of urban myths.
Consider yourself extremely stupid or gullible for believing that one.
Urban myth.
Read real grown up books for real grown up facts little boy.
You didn't even understand the original point, why do you think we would have any interest in the effluent of your thought processes concerning something you just don't get?
Yeah, all diced up and dehydrated in packets labeled "BurgerMix".
Little boy, people won't reply to your 'argument' if you post AC, you'll only get people like me pointing and laughing.
*points*
*laughs*
They never said that.
there is no reason for them to have fired a torpedo either, if a warhead had exploded inside the tube there would be no front on the boat anymore.
chances are it simply hit the bottom accidentaly and a torpedo was damaged causing the propellant to explode.
You mean "The 'Communist' Party" don't you?
:D
I bet you think the US is a democracy too.
This AC has posted this urban myth far too many times in this thread.
Please don't take Discovery channel programmes as anything other than light entertainment, certainly not as educational material.
Russia was Communist!?!
Either you're stupid or just have a bizarre sense of humour.

All the G4s are 32bit.
Perhaps you are thinking of IBMs Power4 or others from the Power series.
G3s are 32bit. The only 64bit Motorola PowerPPC of note was the 620.
It has always amused me how Americans ridicule the war-waging capability of Canadians.
If you looked at their contribution to WWII you'd find that they made the US forces look like the Italians.

"inbred"?
He's from Texas?

Several dozen people already said that and they got no extra karma for it either.
If you're gonna whore, at least do it somewhere you can't be modded off-topic.
It's not an act of war till a government claims responsibility for it.
It's terrorism.
Just because a witless redneck that lives in the Whitehouse says something, doesn't mean it's true.
Often quite the opposite in fact.
Stop karma whoring you clueless piece of crap.
If it's not about hardrives then it doesn't belong here.
