We have some inane discussions here sometimes, I can't believe this one got approved, this is not some kind of intelligent question to be debated, the person who posed this question needs a short, simple beating (as does the aprover)
That's a genuinely good point, I wonder if Sony would help them out on this or if they are getting the old one or what? I don't have much of a use for linux on mine TBH, it was far too goddamn slow (and I'm no linux guru) it really does need 1gb or more of ram, then she'd be fine. That being said, sucks for researchers who wanted this.
I can go through my nasty work proxy and get to my PC at home with it, not as fast as RDP but that is understandable. The feature set is pretty good, does multiple monitors, you can adjust the quality and resolution all in the free version, just requires you sign up for an account. Also seems to be no limit how many machines you can add.
Within her body there are still tens of millions of frustrated kryptonian sperm. The single egg is now too diffuse to be a target. The sperm scatter. They scatter without regard to what is in their path. They leave curved channels, microscopically small. Presently all will have found their way to the open air. That leaves LL with several million microscopic perforations all leading deep into her abdomen. Most of the channels will intersect one or more loops of intestine. Peritonitis is inevitable. LL becomes desperately ill. Meanwhile, tens of millions of sperm swarm in the air over Metropolis.
I know all this, search for my history on disks - I know how they work, I know about latency, I know which portions of disk operations should be quicker and I'm telling you, on a high end machine with a 7200RPM disk and 6gb of ram the difference is negligable, especially on a quad core rig which used a 2gb readyboost disk.
I asked someone about this once and heard it actually scales terribly, somehow it still blurs the picture and doesn't simply use 4 pixels for every 1 virtual pixel - why I don't know. Furthermoee the 30" is so goddamned expensive, he may as well buy the user a 37" LCD TV anyhow.
and my rebuttle to your post (copied and pasted from my reply to someone on another forum)
I recently installed 2 of the 120gb Agility OCZ drives in RAID0 - apparently SSD's scale better with raid than a regular hard disk. I can read at 390mb/s write at 220mb/s and the random 4k reads and writes are about 23mb/s (regular disks can do about.7mb/s in such tests)
According to benchmarks, a single OCZ disk is pretty darn close to the intel in the real world performance tests and one can only guess that 2 of them would come close to matching the performance of a single intel.
I was using Windows 7 with readyboost on a USB stick before I got the SSD's and I have an absoloute monster PC. I also know how to configure the thing, the/temp/ directory was on one disk, the/swap/ was on another disk, the C: was on a 7200rpm drive and it was defragged and kept pretty clean.
The problem is that while some benchmarks show my machine vastly superior with the 2 SSD's, and I'm pretty goddamn impatient,... I errr.. kinda can't really notice the difference much.:( Sure Crysis loads a level now as quick as 24 seconds instead of 34 seconds and HL2 opens as quick as 20 seconds instead of 30 but......... not as snappy as I was hoping. Yeah ok if I open 12 applications in a single click, yep it'll destroy a HDD but for general use I honestly don't notice - torchlight loads were still slow by my opinion, Steam doesn't magically open in a second (has to connect to the net) anyhow, I had the money and I wanted to fiddle around with some new hardware.
FWIW, SATA 3.0 is next year, ONFI 2.0 is next year and Intel and Indilinx (ocz) revision 3 is next year,... I am almost tempted to change my stance and suggest waiting. Finally, yes if you have a shit PC with a slow disk, it'll totally make Windows usable - but Windows 7 is so well optomised (I'm genuinely surprised) and a meaty PC is so quick, it really is hard to notice.
Exactly this, the man is basically a child on many shows and the woman the adult, the man often begs for sex and certainly doesn't wear the pants. Check out the Simpsons or Everyone loves Raymond (they really don't) these 2 very popular shows influencing people is not a good thing.
Theage.com.au website and theage newspaper are two entirely different beasts. The online version reads like theheraldsun (paper) it's just terrible, with occasional useful information and news but it's mostly catering to the lowest common denominator, sex this, gadget that, sales this - it's ridiculous.
On that note, I can confirm with almost no excercise I reduced 45lbs in 5 months with a large eating change. Sadly I put it back on because I'm stupid but none the less it worked.
Silly question but what's the # for? I've been using these here internets for a hell of a long time and I've not seen that one before. Please don't tell me it's a goatee, I don't know if that's horribly geeky or brilliant.
I tried raising this on the OCZ forums, it wasn't even specific to OCZ products - I merely stated that "SSD's are finicky" which they absoloutely are and have been, it's not close to a simple, plug, play, forget - technology. They are getting better and overall OCZ have done a good job with support but the vehement fans of the products absolutely not only blindly defended SSD's overall but took it as some kind of a personal attack, it's ridiculous.
FWIW I'm an early adopter, I've got 2 OCZ drives and 2 Intel drives (coming soon) and yes, definitely a beta product but I am glad they are being worked on and figured out, in 12 to 18 months we will see some incredible disk performance finally, magnetic hard disks have been ruining computers for years (see my post history, I'm a big storagage nut)
Best bet, simply wait and don't buy one yet. I personally couldn't wait.
You're kidding yourself, absoloutely and utterly kidding yourself, your faith in government is incredible. I'm only 31 and I've worked in the state govt for 4 years now, I know how things work - most people should, do you not read the paper or follow the news? 3 to 5 years, maybe - if you're in a specific targeted 'beta' area (probably new housing estates)
If Obama is asking Telstra / Australia or the Australian government ANYTHING about broadband than my American friends, I am very very very sorry for you, quite sincerely - this can not end well at all. Telstra is one of the most vile companies in existence, Microsoft may get mocked a lot here but that's only because the evils of Telstra are not known internationally. (We're talking about a company that first introduced Bigpond cable with a 100mbyte per MONTH limit, no - I'm not joking)
As for the broadband network, it's a load of cobblers, we won't see it for a decade at least, it's one of those dopey empty promises which mean absoloutely nothing (no, I'm not a liberal, not even close)
If you're so impatient to get a movie, then pay full price for it. It's not ideal but if this makes them happier then so be it, I can't imagine anyone with any patience whatsoever actually being frustrated by this.
Those that want to 'steal' it still can, everyone is happy.
Exactly this, I could rant for days about what you said but you covered it all basically. I think this movie quote genuinely sums up my feelings about this.
I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species, and I realised that humans are not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment; but you humans do not. Instead you multiply, and multiply, until every resource is consumed. The only way for you to survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern... a virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer on this planet, you are a plague, and we... are the cure.
Long story short, nope - not having kids, no way in hell.

This pretty much sums it up perfectly, the physics diet.
