I own a Phenom 2 X4 and a Core 2 Quad. I buy what meets my needs at the price point I want when I want to buy it.
I am not a fanboy of either, I just want to see AMD survive so I don't have to pay far out the ass for CPUs. I owned one of those P4s at the time, I bought an Athlon that put it too shame not much later.
Depends on what you mean by a lot cheaper. If you need lots of cores but don't need them fast, like for a VM host then AMD servers can be quite a bit cheaper once we are talking about getting 128GB+ of RAM.
Risk of performance issues makes no sense if you don't know what app you want to run.
I did not suggest they did not. Only that they were not the only source of such problems.
Most video games seem to cheat their way out of lots of problems, something programs used for business cannot often do. A classic example of such cheating is instant hit bullets.
Sounds like you should move. Somalia would probably be a good fit.
Taxes are the price of civilization. I am happy to pay mine. I would even support a government program to buy your kind of folks a free one way trip to nations like Somalia.

Just like Ron Paul.
He is a nutbag, and won't get elected. I might hate the current government but at least it is not as crazy as him.
And slavery!

Those CPUs existed before Vista.
Users don't buy CPUs, the system builder will do this for you.
This is a pretty bad release out of AMD, lets hope they survive it.
Why do you care about a few measly watts?
Is another 50watts really going to break your budget?
If that is the case you probably should not be buying a new computer.
The system builder did when they first came out.
The user, buys his machines off the shelf at Bestbuy.
Tuning is a normal part of setting up a machine. If you don't want to do any tuning Dell will be happy to do it for you.
The Phenom 2 is probably what you should then buy.
30% slower at what percentage of the cost?
If it costs 50% as much as an i7 that might then be fine.
So then SSDs suck because you have to tweak the IO scheduler(elevator)?

Every brand does this, the fact that GM finally caught on means their current management has some amount of brains.
I contend all taxation done in nations that you can leave or vote in is voluntary.

You: (punches)
You: my nipples explode with delight.

Way to misunderstand what was being said on purpose. You must be a fun guy at parties.
There are no places devoid of all taxation that are not in a similar state.
Far more problems fall into what you seem to consider "easy". My guess is you don't know either language nor what a hard problem really is.
Sure but confusing it with syntax is a stupid idea.
I had no trouble parsing that :)
But, yes you are correct.
use strict;
Learn it, live it, love it.
That whitespace is a good way to delimit blocks.
Languages that consider whitespace need to die.

They are in most countries. The self price should match the register price. Gas is sold that way too.
