You have clearly shown that HardOCP did not provide a solid CPU review. The question that remains in everyones mind (or at least gamers, hardOCP's target audience) is how solid is the intel platform? The Nvidia Nforce 4 platform is solid as a rock, and with SLI graphic card options, there is plenty of gaming power to go with the reliability. I bought my A8N-SLI Deluxe for under $70, so that's going to save a lot of money off a $200 intel gaming board. Add the extra costs of DDR2 Ram and the Intel platform is very nearly the same price... for more performance yes, but is it worth the cut in reliability?
You dont seem to understand that most of us who downloaded "every episode" of the show wouldn't buy it because buying tv shows is dumb. It's not a matter of the content, its the delivery, and the high costs.
That's correct, but as the aritcle states they are using nitric oxide (NO I think), which although has its health benefits (mostly cardio-related), does become toxic when bonded with Oxygen. It wouldn't be very nice to have a plasma needle break while your teeth are being worked on and have it shooting poisonous gas in your mouth instead of the tip of the needle.
This "plasma needle" apparently will be good at killing bacteria and surgical cuts. It does use Nitric Oxide to function however, which is poisonous to inhale.
1) ISPs will be asked to do all the work for the law makers in enforcing this rule. 2) They will traffic shape, and thus block all p2p traffic. 3) authorized p2p sharing is "accidentally" disallowed as well.
Apple got where they are by copying other people as well. Microsoft would be largely naive to license OS X, because the development team for OS X had hardly anything to do, and they didn't have to license anything to do it. What microsoft has been trying to do from day one is to avoid the ideas and basics of Unix. It worked for the first 10 years or so, but it has been failing ever since. Microsoft, for all their faults tries projects that are much harder (and more impractical) than apple. The problem with Vista too much integration with.net and C#, code that is designed for small business oriented projects being used on a huge bloated project. Microsoft may see their failure in trying to use their own code too much, but they will not likely step so low as to license a competitors OS.
Well it's certain that judging people here for what they do in other countries is seemingly overreaching. On the other hand, the US government has been running around settling problems around the world more than anything, but completely ignoring problems being caused by US citizens in China.
When the act is suppressing free speech, a action cannot really be judged in the area it occurs. It would probably be fair to say that if China was a legitimate government, what yahoo committed would be considered unjust.
You misunderstand. Yahoo is run by Execs in the US. The execs would be fined or taken to court in the United States because they do their business here. I do understand the French citizens find Americans very disturbing and act very rudely to american tourists. I guess it's inevitable for countries of polar opinions to not get along. The only reason that Yahoo execs get away with murder is because they have a ton of money and are therefor above the law. (See Lay, Simpson, etc).
Just like the lawn and garden company, the communication company has a similar scope of inventions to create. If they waste their time patenting uninnovative ideas they won't have enough patent slots.
I'm sure some of what you say is correct, it certainly makes sense. The only problem is that there is no choice but to fight the Chinese government when they commit so many humanitarian crimes. Yahoo has already aided the Chinese government in capitol punishment of those who speak against the norm. It's one thing to deny information from the public, but it's even worse to jail/torture/kill those who use their voice.
If yahoo cannot control their subsidiary company in China, they should formally separate themselves from central control in the US. The risk of being tried for humanitarian crimes here in the United States should outweigh executive loyalty to working stiffs in China. It's unlikely that yahoo execs are that stupid, so they probably support the Chinese government's totalitarian actions.
This is a typical racist/sexist troll. Women don't particularly want to be software engineers, and if they go to the trouble of learning they get extra handouts like this one from gnome, but still there's only about 5% women to 95% men.
As could be expected, the trolls you mention often stray from legitimate topics to something just to get people excited. Unfortunately there's now a lot of legitimate unrest caused by foreign policy (US dealings with Iraq and the rest of the middle east), illegal immigration, social security failure, NSA wiretapping... the list goes on.
Most of the trolls are just complaining about how their government leaders are doing no better (if not worse) than a left-leaning government. It doesn't fit because a lot of the choices made in conflict to the public's interest don't have a clear benefit to the lawmakers. Either they are hopelessly led astray, or there is some other power behind the decay of the government of the US.
This really doesn't take away any of the blame from the right-controlled government officials. I just wish that the left had a solid case for better things to come. In the absense of that assurance I will be voting for the libertarian party.
Theres nothing to explode when its a capacitor. If it gets hot enough fast enough, it will melt the plastic casing, then melt any metal in the vicinity if it hasn't run out of heat. I imagine you could make a mess with these, but they aren't a lot worse than chemical batteries. You wouldn't want either to be in your pocket while in a hard collision.
The original Xbox was upgadable (not officially by microsoft, but not too difficult none the less), and game compatability didn't suffer as a result. In fact, in all versions of the xbox, there's little consistancy of hardware. They have different video chips, memory chips, power supplies, hard drive sizes, dvd drives, and even firmware. If Sony handles this correctly there's nothing to worry about, and they probably wont have much trouble convincing developers that this is possible.
I could argue about your dedication to apple, because you and others are hung up on how apple is not doing anything wrong. You brought up something that is more important though. DRM enabled global distribution isn't solely controlled by content providers and recording industry fags. It takes hardware manufacturers and software developers to support their ideals and they take their share in the blame. Apple doesn't have a monopoly on the portable music market, but they do have a large portion of it, and they have done nothing to reduce the power of fair use violators.
Of course, many will say this whole discussion doesn't matter because apple is just doing business and you can take your business elsewhere, blah blah blah. It's key to remember though, Apple could make a lot more money by cheating on content producers (ala allofmp3), instead of cheating their users/customers. How can users uphold this ideal? This is why I dont enjoy any apple topics. Every time there's some big fake bloated argument that is neither true nor relevant.
Apple represents a large part of the market, and they fail to provide content to those who dont use their hardware. This practice is bad for consumers, so governments everywhere should make it illegal. The example you give is flawed, nobody forces a GM corvette engine to work in a honda, because it will work in a honda. The problems you encounter trying it are mostly due to the small engine bay, which is something that a consumer can benefit from. Nobody benefits from apples exclusive hardware/content link.
There's two kinds of gullible people, those who are young and stupid, and those who are old and stupid. The difference is the old people have money from living an easier life.
Not only that but the first response is "saw that on slashdot a while ago".
This troll (grandparent) duped a kuro5hin article which was duped from slashdot earlier.
If the US business sector really cared about communication skills it wouldn't be hiring as many workers as possible from outside the country.
Most of the errors you point out would not be detected in a business meeting, and would not be a problem in any "diversified" company. Any skill has its purpose, but now more than ever professionals need to focus their training/discipline on an area that will keep them useful.
Internet businesses usually have big problems with getting enough marketshare to be sucessful (making money). Google ran for a few years without making any money, and there's a lot of other high profile internet companies which are doing the same even now. Vonage is fighting court battles, isps, and general apathy for voip to try to turn a dollar, and they're still losing big. YouTube is also losing money so far. Of course Yahoo makes money from their portal, search engine, email, etc... but they are looking to be overrun by google, especially when Google has a huge video section. It's clear that they have already lost the video battle, but they must compete to keep from losing other sections of their market (almost all of which are in direct competition with google).
Ok, I'm done, go back to flaming people who actually understand internet economics.
For everyone who got lost reading through the parents' encryption catch-words, there's one thing that you must notice. This system is not possible to implement unless there is a internet connection to authenticate each time a file is played. This creates a few problems.
First, the content providers will need a better infrastructure to handle their content; of course, it is their current failure that causes the problems that france is trying to address, but they will not like having to fix their own problem, and will complain.
Second, everywhere you go, you will need a connection to access the content that you bought and paid for. The world is constantly becoming more connected, but this will still cause problems, especially if the free-drm scheme spreads to more important media types than just music.
Third, and most important is that multiple corporate groups will be carrying information on not only their own customers, but also their competitors customers. Any customers will be hit with multiple sales-pitches to switch from itunes to yahoo, or who knows what new service (or scam). Identity theft is a prevelant problem in the US, this is simply because corporations who have no interest in protecting their clients carry enough information to ruin them financially. It's hard to see this same problem with a open-drm system, but where there is opportunity for abuse, it will be taken.
#1, that is certainly not how water flows over something. #2, how would you possibly account for the disrupted space? Wouldn't any human with good depth perception be able to tell that the "invisible" object is there simply by noticing that a piece of light is recessed? Sure, you could use this to walk across a desert with few interuptions, but in the more likely environments (urban landscapes and jungles) simply standing under a tree would give you away. The tree would appear to be split at the height of the cloaked person.

I belive it really was IBM who made popular the term PC. Regardless of where the term originated it still means x86 in todays marketplace.
