    could that be because they received "volume" (promotional) discounts, or because they bought their systems 2 weeks before the Opteron was made available?

    well, surely he might get more *minutes* of battery life, but I can't imagine him being as *productive* while waiting for his programs to load, memory pages to swap, and files to save ... all over a blistering USB 1.1 bus to a screamin' compactflash disk.

  7. Re:linspire? on Dell to Ship Linux Desktops in Europe · · Score: 1
    First off, people don't call a can of Pepsi a can of Coke. This is a myth. Instead, what happens is if somebody orders a Coke, but Pepsi is all they have, it's assumed that it is an acceptable alternative. In the case of soft-drinks, it is not that big of deal.

    sounds like you haven't spent much time in atlanta ;-)

    I *did* spend my hard-earned cash on the sound system, rather than on the logo. *that's* why I got a NEUROS and not an IPOD! duh!

  12. Re:no, on Use an iPod Mini to Broadcast Pirate Radio · · Score: 1
    frequencies down to 35 and even 25 Hz are heard by most people, and not felt. additionally, most speaker cabinets and cones aren't tuned to reproduce inaudible frequencies.

    it was a nice thought though.

    Tell me becuase I honestly don't know. How much CPU is needed for your audio needs?

    in my experience, you can never have too much CPU for audio processing, and you most likely will never have enough. better to put it in the closet or another room than compromise with something slower than the fastest chips you can afford.

    there are millions of acres of farm-land idled by federal subsidies. we'd do better to pull the subsidies and invest the money in programs to support corn-based ethanol fuel. most existing cars would require a simple timing adjustment to use blends of ethanol+gasoline.
