  1. Re: Hardware Mitigations? on Intel Details Cascade Lake, Hardware Mitigations for Meltdown, Spectre (extremetech.com) · · Score: 1

    Put simply, if you, like me, have over 10k blades running Intel you're not going to cycle all those out for AMD overnight.

    Nope, you'll just install those meltdown mitigation windows updates like a good little MCSE. Then you get to explain the 25% performance loss to your boss.

    The Nomad comparison *is* pretty ridiculous. It had much better capabilities, more storage... but no white plastic. Can you believe ANYONE bought one of those for $200 when iPods were $400?

    I haven't seen the Nomad meme, but if there is one, it exists for a reason.

    Apple is a fucking parasite, and the most egregious of their crimes is subsuming the concept of online video (which had already existed for a decade) with the term "pod-cast".

    Apple is not an innovator. They are a technology parasite. They won't bring manufacturing back to America, because it would increase manufacturing costs by $50 per unit. On phones that cost $100 to manufacture..... and are sold for $700-$1000.

    But hey, they revolutionized the industry with the gen 1 IPOD, remember? Remember how it was vastly inferior to the Creative Nomad, at twice the price? Smaller HDD, no video play, tiny B&W screen, etc.....? Apple's contribution to tech has been rounded corners (they used a time machine to retroactively invent non-sharp corners) and white plastic.

    Are you one of those who thinks it's also "normal for the Earth to warm up, therefore AGW can't exist?

    No, it's normal for Earth to be a frozen iceball. You better root for global warming, human caused or otherwise, cause the next minor ice age like in the 17th century is going to kill billions.

    According to Einstein, there is no space to be curved. Space is just the distance between points.

    Imagine the universe depicted as a large flat desert plane, like the midwestern US. The shortest distance between any two cities is a curved line.... and the ground is imaginary.

    This is why scientists didn't like Einstein.
