More seriously though how many folks who are "enthusiasts" upgrade CPU or mobo? I'm thinking they probably dump the pair together for an upgrade if they have that kind of money. So in my mind making the cpu a permanent part of the mobo makes sense and can lower cost as well. Sounds like a win to me.
An earlier post made a good point too. Gold has gotten really frick'n expensive. A SMT solder mount does away with that.
The iPhone 5 will absolutely CRUSH in Q4. Not a hater. I'm one of the GS3's in that Q3 number. I was about to buy the iPhone 5 but then Amazon was selling the GS3 for $99 and got my attention. That was that.
I use FireAMP on my phone, but obviously if you are security conscious keep the bluetooth turned off when in public. And only use WiFi hot spots that you trust.
Yeah, you know they're using Oracle VM. There's no polish for that turd. I wouldn't put anything there that I care about, unless I want to loose my job.
And USB drives are your idea of simple? Seriously? Please hand the lady your Admin card at the door when you leave.
For 24TB if you wan't to have a job after someone asks you to restore a chunk of that you'll want to insist on tape. Or perhaps a equally sized NAS or SAN array. USB? Hope your resume is up to date.
Desktop support staff help with the computers, but they really are there to help the users. Cloud computing won't fix stupid. So I'm calling BS on Gartner and their so called experts. Of course the Pointy Hair Bosses will read that and conclude that they can release their support staff from employment.
Virtualization if properly executed may improve workstation security, and consistency, but more likely the managers will try to cheap-out on it and execute spectacular FAIL because performance will be horrible. Then they end up putting workstations back on everyone's desk and hire support staff.
I think folks get into trouble when trying to compare transistors and tubes from a sound perspective. Electrically tubes are fine and dandy. Each has some advantage, but good circuit design usually overcomes most of the the problems.
With regards to audio amplification folks neglect the importance of the output transformers used in an amplifier. Yes, and some transistorized amplifiers use them too. My point is that the output transformers generally contribute more to the final product that any other part of the amplifier.
Just to make a point, I have a "class D" amplifier that uses output transformers, and replacing the cheap originals with top quality items, things got better in a big way. Tubes are great in preamps, and headphone amps.
If ABS is working: Idiot tailgating behind you while working their cellphone rear ends you.
I had a 2000 VW Golf TDI that when I would slam the brakes the wheels would lock on dry pavement. Useless. The ABS seemed only to be useful on slippery surfaces in moderately heavy breaking situations. My Toyota Echo is a different story. The brakes won't lock no matter how hard you try.:)
Historically things like war, famine, disease, etc has kept the population in check. So I'm guessing the next round for population correction should be a deusie. So the whole engineering thing is really just waste of effort. Just ban antibiotics and things will fix themselves.
No doubt. I recall when they were begging for any surplus equipment folks could donate to keep them running. I tossed them a few bucks just to help get them going. The freetards can complain, but I still think they're awesome. Just registered two domains with them.
That'll definitely kill it. Verizon will force folks to subscribe to their cable service and offer it as an add-on or something horrible like that. I can't see how Verizon won't resist squeezing all the blood out of Netflix like everything else they do.
My family has been battling MRSA for quite a while now. That shit is a bitch. Now another super bug on the loose?
I tell you what folks. Think the Black Plague. It's only a matter of time. Science turns out some wonderful things, but you can't fix stupid people. Seriously, do we believe we can beat Mother Nature? Look at gen mod crops, the pests are already adapting. We might winning for now, but we're going to loose big some day.
It's hard to argue with free. And frankly in the many years I've worked with Red Hat, I've only needed support once or twice and in those cases the support was useless. Google'ing for answers is faster and more effective.
We have regulations because of abusive and unethical behavior. If industries have no other motive than to profit then we see all sorts of trash and burn tactics that may get some folks a bonus, but at some point someone is going to pay. Yes regulations hurt businesses. My point is that businesses shouldn't behave in a manner that will result in the need for regulations. We're lucky that the US is still willing to try to keep things in balance.

Regarding offshoring, I don't really have a problem with it as long as it's intent is to supplement a businesses workforce. I do have a problem with replacing workforce with foreign nationals. At some point if everything is outsourced, we'll see our middle class collapse, and thus businesses won't have customer base anymore.
I agree. There are a lot of myths regarding storage sanitization. I do think it is too simplistic to say one pass of zeros will do the trick every time, but i'd give it a high probability of doing the job.
I thought the point of having an electric car was to avoid using gasoline? If I have a drained battery at the end of the day and you assume that I have a combustion engine as a standby, I'd have to use petroleum to get home. FAIL. If the car is electric only and relies on the grid to charge, I'd end up walking home. FAIL.
Now if we were talking about some sort of super capacitor that can drain and then be quickly replenished this may have a useful effect to normalize daytime power usage, but only for short durations. An extended drain would be unacceptable. I don't think the monetary reimbursement would entice folks at all because vehicular range is king.
I had a 2 Bluray plan and dumped it for streaming only. My kids like the kiddie show and I don't like them watching commercials so I don't care much about selection. I now rent from either Redbox or Vudu. Netflix seemed to be doing pretty well, but someone really fsck'd up in my opinion.
I believe this and I'll tell you why. My wife and I are both prone to geekish behavior. I've resorted to calling myself a nerd, because I have a HAM license, I do electrical engineering for ha ha's, and I'm a Unix Admin by trade. Both sides of our our families have engineers, and otherwise brilliant and nerdy types of folks.
One of my daughters has been diagnosed on the Autisim Spectrum as PDD-NOS. Very smart kid, but she's obviously autistic. I see some traits in my other daughters too, but they are considered "normal" (whatever that is right?). All of our four girls have been raise in the same manner. We're very health conscience and do all the oraganic/natural things possible. Nature vs. Nurture if you ask me??? I say both, but with a stronger bias towards Nature. There a quite a few things that our out of parents control and it seems like there are weird chemicals in everything these days.

Enthusiast ARM computer? Ha ha.

Government? Really? Mmmmm. No.
C'mon. It's $35. Who cares?

I think this is a good point. If you let folks do customs skins out of the box then happiness will follow.
Otherwise. *Yawn*. Move along please.
Super. Don't care.

Engineer people to hate meat? Really! Awesome! So while everyone is hating meat... more meat for me! Fire up the grill baby!
WTF? Are we having a serious debate about a Microsoft product on /.?
Let me fix this quick. Microsoft sucks. Don't forget that.
