I can buy, right now, a Core 2 Duo machine with 4GB of RAM from my local uni surplus, for $60. Up to 75% less, if I get lucky and they're still there long enough after the sell-on date. They even come with a Win7 license.
In my experience, I'm seldom if ever CPU-capped, and if I am, what I'm doing it the sort of thing that 10% won't make a difference on. My advice, save your money. Buy all the RAM you'll want now (16GB, 32GB would be extravagant) before it becomes expensive.
The few extra months you buy with the 5960X isn't going to make a difference in the long run.
Of course, I don't know your particular application, nor do I know your particular financial situation. YMMV.
You didn't sign a contract with your greengrocer that allowed them to rig the scale in any way they want. You DID (or, at least, the submitter did) sign a contract that allowed AT&T to measure bandwidth any way they want. Furthermore, he/she signed a contract agreeing to take all disputes to arbitration, not the courts. Double whammy.
d. Network Management. AT&T reserves the right to engage in reasonable network management practices, to protect its broadband network from harm, compromised capacity, degradation in network performance or service levels, or uses of the Service which may adversely impact access to or the use of the Service by other customers. Reasonable network management practices that AT&T may adopt include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) a cap on data usage; (ii) a modification of a customer’s serving facility or service technology, and/or (iii) a modification of or a limitation on a customer’s data throughput speed or data consumption.
Furthermore, the customer agreed to go through arbitration for all "all disputes and claims". This sure sounds like a dispute to me, therefore, what the submitter should be looking for is an arbitrator.
All my machines run beautifully; I spent the money for 16GB of RAM when I built them so that I wouldn't have to obsess over each MB a process uses
Enlighten me: - CTRL+SHIFT+ESC - Click show all processes - How many?
Also: - goto performance tab - How many threads/handles?
Each thread and handle uses up resources, not just your excessive 16gb of memory. Unless you have X thread capable cores to match the current thread number, your programs are having to compete and share CPU resources.
and I wrote the sync client myself, because I couldn't find one I liked.
Is it "coded" in Java?
# get-process | measure -property handles -sum
Count : 119 Average : Sum : 55134 Maximum : Minimum : Property : Handles
So, that's 119 processes, and 55,134 handles.
# Get-CimInstance win32_thread | measure-object
Count : 1623 Average : Sum : Maximum : Minimum : Property :
Um, 'var' always means exactly what the compiler decides it means. The coder gets no say in the matter. It's not a variant type, it simply means, 'compiler, decide what this type is for me'. It's called 'type inference', and it's quite common in non-ancient programming languages. C++ even has type inference, now. ML, Haskell, Scala, and Apple's new Swift language all have it as well.
Microsoft keeps Azure blob storage's price pretty closely aligned with S3's price. I don't know how big a player it is in terms of customer count, but it's still there, and it's cost-competitive.
Now, if only the API provided more metadata, it would make syncing much easier. S3 gives you each item's hash when you list items in a bucket; Azure's API doesn't.
Depending on his/your/one's particular flavor of libertarianism, private property rights might not even exist as a thing. Certainly one's private property rights extend only as far as one is capable of defending them, as in, with a gun.
HTML isn't a programming language, it's a text markup (i.e. text formatting) language. SGML is a markup language. OpenGL is an API, not a programming language.
If HTML is a programming language, and creating HTML "pages" is "programming", then aren't you programming as soon as you turn on "reveal codes" in WordPerfect? How about "reveal formatting" in Word? Are you programming now just because you can see the formatting tags as you type text?
Like what hardware, exactly? I've heard this argument, but I personally don't have a single piece of hardware that I'd like to use but can't. This is an honest, curious question.
Ah, that's not what unions do. They guarantee that no matter how poorly you do your job, you can't be fired, because that's not fair. Pride in your work and building a better future is a whole other thing.

You're definitely doing it wrong.

furthermore, they could one sidedly change the encapsulation to have gigabytes of padding for no reason at all.
They sure could. Additionally, if you read the T&C, they could do just about anything else they wanted, too (section 10.d, emphasis mine):

I wrote my S3 sync client in C#.
And I don't need to.
If you lost hours to 'var', then you lack sufficient skills to perform your job. Congratulations, you've reached your Peter level.

I also don't use the Google disk-space-thingy- whatever-its-called. I use S3, and I wrote the sync client myself, because I couldn't find one I liked.
Doesn't matter. Chip-and-pin will kill Coin regardless. The whole point of chip-and-pin is to render the card uncopyable.

You are so completely, terribly, obviously wrong. There are definitely 'better' languages.
Microsoft keeps Azure blob storage's price pretty closely aligned with S3's price. I don't know how big a player it is in terms of customer count, but it's still there, and it's cost-competitive.
Now, if only the API provided more metadata, it would make syncing much easier. S3 gives you each item's hash when you list items in a bucket; Azure's API doesn't.
What we need is an anti-dog-eat-dog rule.
Furthermore, Dropbox has NEVER been cost-competitive. Even before Amazon dropped S3's price by 2/3, it was orders of magnitude cheaper than Dropbox.
Well, hey, when you add the $0.75 worth of RAM that Google uses, I'm sure Dropbox is now cheaper.
People that are so desperate to continue to put in long hours that they need recommendations on a recliner to work in?
As long as they come from Apple's/Google's/Amazon's app store, that is.

How about extortionists? Are they moral actors? I don't see how going from extortion on the internet to rape of a woman isn't shifting the goalposts.
I think Q put it best, when he said, about the internet:
"It's not safe out there. It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it is NOT for the timid."
Ah, that's not what unions do. They guarantee that no matter how poorly you do your job, you can't be fired, because that's not fair. Pride in your work and building a better future is a whole other thing.
Some random AC claiming to be informed by someone claiming to have access to master keys, it's not exactly a reliable source, is it? ;)
