The GeForce 6800 Ultra I've been sporting since last year has served me QUITE well... I've been "ooohing" and "ahhhing" at all the eye-candy. However, it has it's limits.
With this much computing power, the limits of visual stimuli can only go as far as what the developers put into their games. I can run at 200 fps, but if the graphics engine sucks, I'll only have a nicely rendered game of Pong.
When wattage is spiking that high, I'd rather use the AMD processor solely because of the ever-increasing demand and cost of electricity. So not only are they cost-efficient and energy-efficient, but they're also faster and more durable. In the past 4 years, I've burned up (plugged it in, turned it on) a handful of Intel chips just because they were defective (purchased at various stores) and lost 1 AMD to a direct lightning strike.
All I did was ask if anyone's heard commentary from Motorola... Wow...
I see a few of us are quite passionate about our chips!
But yes, I believe utilizing AMD chips in the new machines is a far smarter move than sticking with Intel. If I had to pick a chip other than Intel and AMDs weren't available as an option, I'd pick a Frito. Chances are I'd get more done, be better entertained and if it starts crashing, I can simply eat it and replace it with another. At $1.49 (US) per bag, it's highly cost efficient!
I dunno, he's got a leg up on us... women love guys with their own place, their independence, and can pay their bills. Chances are, he cooks and cleans too.
You know what women say, "I love a man who can cook what he traps!"
What fresh hell is this that I wake up and learn that because I have an encryption program on my computer, I'm instantly qualified for 10-20 years (in the pokey)? I find it ironic that Windows NT, with its encrypting file system, hasn't landed my ass in jail yet. I thought it was legal to own it, afterall, I had to buy it.
BTW, I own a gun, knives, wood chipper, and a shovel.
Any word from Motorola yet? I'm sure after losing a little of their sales from Apple, they'd have _something_ to say... Just because Apple will be using some Intel chips, doesn't mean they're sales are going to increase so Motorola can keep selling the same amount of chips to Apple.
So Jorge moved his talk to the cafeteria, and delivered a five hour session to a packed house.
That's amazing... where is he lecturing again? I've seen 160 people squeeze into a phone booth. That really must have been a high-demand sectional. I mean, really, 150 people - that's far from a packed cafeteria, unless of course, it happens to be the kitchenette upstairs with the four tables and 16 chairs.
Pardon me, José, could you stay out of the mini-fridge? Thanks. And Miguél, I know your Cheetos are stuck, but that's life...
Chase says, however, that 'new cards are embedded with encryption software to prevent duplication and data theft'
The problem with software is, ITS SOFT. We need to stand up against these bankers and show them how bad an idea this is.
I can already hear the advisory from Secunia, "attack is possible in all unpatched Levis jeans - percentage of intrusions from remote attacker - 100%, fix available - none."
well, i can certainly blame it on marketing. keeping consumers in a daze without knowing wtf they're getting is kinda pissing me off lately. i see by definition the words are different, but still, i'm only relaying what i've been told as a consumer. frankly, the idea of intel and amd going head to head and constantly "one-upping" each other is stupid. thanks for clearing the confusion up. i'll be sure to keep using my 486 with Hot Tounging technology.
Now I'm just waiting for Microsoft to take the initiative to disable people's computers when their owners haven't subscribed to their service. What's that? Oh, another service pack, goody! I'll install this right away and reboot (for the 50th time today). What's that? A blue screen? Noooooooo!
Because its not their "pretty" OS. There s a gaping security hole in my bedroom wall - that's ok, we'll just put a poster of a cute little puppy over it.
Firefox has just proven what I said on May 3rd, here http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=147981&cid= 12419550> and yet they continue to be "the 'Windows 98' of browsers" since the browser continues to get "prettier" but all the security checks and testing don't do a damned bit of good. People are no better off when using Firefox over MSIE.
...if this affects AMD processors with Hyper Transport technology? I'm curious since AMD's Hyper Transport is similar to Intel's Hyper Threading, but in my books, superior.
Thank you! Finally, someone who knows what the hell they're talking about. I'd rather stop the illegals from snatching up REAL licenses and hitting my damned truck. Texas is funny too... because here, you don't need insurance to get a license, but they require you to have insurance if you're going to use the license to operate a motor vehicle. And if you're arguement is, "what if I buy a license and don't use it?" you're an idiot. What else did you think Renaldo was going to do with his new state-issued photo ID? Pick the gum from the tread of his shoes? Use it to apply plaster to his wall? Perhaps, slice a pizza?
The main reason Real ID is going into effect is so the feds can more closely watch what the states have NOT been doing for years - stopping illegal IDs and documents. By requiring citizenship, the feds can tighten the requirements on getting a Real ID. Anyone else who doesn't have business here, deported! See ya.
Texas and all other border states known as "Mexico-touchers" by the Canadians, are suffering from illegals hopping the fence, destroying citizens' homes, property, begging for supplies from Americans to further their ILLEGAL journies into OUR COUNTRY, and what do we have to show for it? Higher insurance rates, loss of employment, and less money we have to put clothes on the backs of our children and a warm meal in their stomachs. We need to stand up against the illegals and let them know this is OUR country, NOT theirs!
LOL... this was actually a funny article to me. I hope the new Real ID gets passed. When Americans start refusing to hand over their ID for purchases, stores will know it. When Americans put it in the microwave to destroy the RFID tag, the government will know it, and when judges, cops, and other officials are slowly "weeded out" in their own homes while they sleep because some 16-year old 1337 h4x0r broke into their database and stole all the information, they'll know it. I'd love to see Real ID get passed, this way we might learn from it.
With Microsoft being attacked on all fronts, the UK schools dropping their products seems like "just another brick in the wall" when it comes to barracading ourselves from their over-priced software.
Finding a replacement is NOT your job duty. That's why they have this little department called, "Human Resources". They keep a record of who's best outfitted for certain positions. Once they interview with you or your boss (more likely), he should be the person to choose your replacement.
As for holding your final paycheck, that's bullshit. I don't know what state you live in, but my state law requires an employer to pay an employee within 10 days of the end of the work week. If your boss is serious about retaining your final check, I'd seek legal advice - there could be more money in it for you than you think! *wink*
I once had a coworker who decided to leave a job on a bad note. He got into an involved arguement with the boss (a guy) in his boss' office (door closed). From what we heard outside, he was using severe profanity involving his boss, his boss' wife, and a goat, but ended up with my coworker showing his boss exactly "what he was bringing to the party". With all said and pants down on his desk, he somehow managed to keep his job. It kinda makes me wonder about his boss now...
If I had to credit one of the two most irreputable sources of "reliable" information, I'd pick Geraldo Rivera. He hasn't claimed he invented something that's taken the world by storm, but he HAS disclosed the secret location of military troops in the middle east. Numb-nuts...
I dunno, but I could have sworn I saw my ex in the scene. The staff with feathers on it and the bear-claw-laden necklace was throwing me off a little though.
The comments of "bloodbath", "horrific", and "gruesome" only come from parents and the like that haven't taken a moment to actually read the books! This stuff is already written and when I hear of parents griping and whining that little 14-year old Timmy is having nightmares is bullshit. I think those parents should catch up on some reading/research before they let their kids go see movies in the first place. Furthermore, they should take responsibility for what their kids watch, do, and say. If the rating system advises against it, then so be it. Its not like the rating system completely denies them seeing it.
