  1. Re:New Technology on A New Lease On Internal Combustion · · Score: 1

    Some of the most popular and best sports-car engines today are pushrod v8's, and on top of that, the first ever Super Ultra Low Emission engine, made by GM, is a good ole American Super-charged pushrod motor (3800 Series III.)

    Some Push Rod engines you may be aware of:

    * Chevrolet Corvette 7.0L V8 Engine (505 hp, 475 lb/ft torque)
    * Chrysler Hemi

    As for the age-ole "Anti-American" propaganda, let's take a gander at the first engine on that list again:

    It's amazing that a Corvette makes that much power, and gets 27mpg. It also is a low emissions vehicle. Was the first 500+ hp car to avoid the Gas-guzzler tax. It goes 0-60 in 3.4 seconds as tested by Car and Driver.

    So just to reinforce the point: It's wayyy faster than an M6, gets wayyy better gas mileage, and costs about $30k less. Oh yeah, it's more reliable too.

    You can put any car in the world up against the vette and you won't be disappointed with the results. The upgraded 650 HP version is just around the corner.

    So, pray tell, WHY do you need two cams again? For no reason but Propaganda, son.

  3. Retarded on Revolution Horsepower Revealed · · Score: 1

    I stopped reading at this point.. I'm sure I don't need to explain it to you guys. :)

    "The original Xbox's CPU, admittedly a different architecture altogether, was clocked at 733MHz. Meanwhile, Xbox 360 runs three symmetrical cores at 3.2GHz.

    Nintendo's Revolution console, as seen on-display at the Game Developers Conference 2006
    Clearly, numbers don't mean everything, but on paper Revolution's CPU falls performance-wise somewhere well beyond GameCube and just shy of the original Xbox"

  4. Compensation sharing? on The Microsoft Salary and Review System · · Score: 1

    "At Microsoft there is an unspoken code that co-workers not share compensation information with each other."

    I've never worked at a job where it was OK to share this information. How about everyone else?

  16. Climate change long known cause? on Megafauna Extinction Due to Climate · · Score: 1

    This debate has been around for a long time.. climate change has been preached for years by creationists, in conjunction with the biblical flood.

    I've always thought it made a lot of sense and never understood why it wasnt more widespreadly accepted by both parties.

  17. Overclocking is safe and fun. on Athlon 64 In-depth Overclocking Guide · · Score: 1

    So why are so many of you Fear, Uncertainty, and doubt filled computer newbies on here trying to bash overclockers?

    Most of you dont know what youre talking about in the first place.

    In the overclocker community "24 hour Prime95 stability" is the benchmark against which all overclocks are measured.

    "It's not stable unless it's prime stable."

    My compaq pos at work couldnt even pass prime95 for 24 hours..but my amd64 3200+ @ 2.8 ghz home machine sure did.

    Being ignorant about somthing and talking bad about it, is just about the same as racism.

    Now sit down, shut up, and let the grown ups talk.

  20. Re:How about a focus on quality? on ATI Announces 512MB Graphics Card · · Score: 1

    Also.. 9800 AIW's have a problem with the heatsink array. The fan/heatsink loses contact with the CPU and air gets between the 2, if you are getting artifacts, that's most likely the issue.

    I've had bad ATI and bad Nvidia products, personally i tend to switch back and forth depending on who's making quality products at my pricepoint.

    I have a 6800 GT, i switched from 9800 pro. X800 Pro was a turd for the price compaired to the GT.
