And how much faster are DDR3 in reality? How much would you lose from using only DDR2? How much cheaper are one step slower DDR3?
Not to mention if DDR3 are much faster you do get much faster memory for those $140 more for your CPU (Thought often occupied, and you don't need to transport data between system ram and graphics memory.
Personally I don't think it's a good idea to combine them either, I was just reasoning =P
And I don't see how they could bribe themself to dominence either, it's more likely that they just did the best product, again and again. Though luck for the companies which didn't had as competent crew and engineers.
On the Amiga this was somewhat solved by giving the graphics chips prioritized access over the chip ram.
But back then you WANTED "fast mem", as in cpu specific ram, because it made the cpu work faster instead =P
But at current memory prices and if production was moved to faster ram I guess it may be possible to just have a bunch of very fast memory and let the GPU have priority over it once again.
Or as someone else said have both kinds even thought both gpus and cpus are within the same chip (why you would want that with such a design, why not just have them split as they are.)
I guess combining them only makes sense once they are very similair, and once they are the memory bandwidth difference maybe aren't that huge any longer?
I hate to discuss the subject, but over here you pay some form of funeral fee within your taxes so that part are already covered. What you pay for are probably more things like flowers, dinner, coffin, stone. I guess one may also pay for the company which handle the actual funeral, maybe, I could ask my mom..
I googled it, seems like it's 13-18.000 on average here and 4.000+ for a stone, cheapest price for as basic as it can get around 4.000 (all prices in SEK). So 670-3700 $.
Only Amiga made it possible! (Thanks to custom chips, not in spite of them.)
It doesn't seem likely that one generic item would be better at something than many specific ones. Sure CPU+GPU would just be all in one chip but why would that be better than many chips? Maybe if it had RAM inside aswell and that enabled faster FSB.
1) Does firefox really store them in clear text? I doubted it did. But yes, maybe it log in automatically, or by cookie. How safe are firefox password storage if encrypted? Is it easy to move between computers? (I use 1password on OS X which I think uses some OS X builtin key manager, so my passwords are encrypted and password protected, I guess. I used to store them in a GPG-encrypted textfile, but then they wasn't unique for each web page.)
2) True, speaking of which, I hate these stupid forced password reminder questions. I mean, how hard is it to get my moms name? Or my cats? Or my birth town? I guess one should just choose something and insert random data as answer;D
I was mostly talking about GPG, which most people find way to hard to understand and don't see the need for. Preferably they should get a password manager and unique passwords for all the 50-something webpages they sign up for aswell.
I use adium, most (almost all) people here use MSN. Noone would want to use Pidgin in Windows, neither would I. Miranda or Trillian, but Astra in that case if it's faster which I have no idea if it is. Alpha software in any case, and closed beta.
Yeah, I have adium set to use encryption by default aswell. But it's only used with one person.
Same with IRC, most people don't see the need for an SSL encrypted network connection, some do. Some people use their own client-specific encryption on top of that aswell.
In any case I think there people should start is in all e-mails, including all the password reminders and whatever. I'd also like it a lot if everyone had some sort of password protected certificate which they used on web logins, maybe =p, such as the ones you can create with SSH. I do understand people probably tell more secrets over IM than e-mail thought, but I guess it's even more tiresome to look thru aswell (thought some people probably type password: erti93j3er9e on MSN aswell.)
Because it's not like I have plans over faked terrorism attacks against my own country on my machine or such. It would mostly be "because I can", and if someone just want to look around or steal it or whatever they are screwed. It's not like I have to be 100% bullet proof if the cops knock on my door, sure it would be preferable;D, but I guess I can live with that risk, and I doubt they will take the time to look thru all my paper either.
Information don't have to be important for you to encrypt it, you can encrypt it just because it makes it harder to find out WHAT information are indeed important. And much more troublesome to crack it all.
Personally I'd prefer to encrypt all my im, e-mail, sip and other form of electronic communication just to fuck with whoever may be listening. Sad enough most other people don't seem to care so I can't.
But in the case of a (questionable) suicide in the family I find it sort of weird that someone actually care. I mean, I can understand why one care if it was an accident or not, and why and so on. But price? Who cares about lifeless possessions in a moment like that?
But then I have no idea what it cost, and part of it are probably covered by taxes over here, so maybe it's a huge cost / makes a big difference.
Exactly, to late to do or say something to him, to late for him to care about what happens with anything.
Personally I would be all ok if someone read all my notes, my e-mail, and whatever. Somehow I would actually be glad if someone took the time to look thru it.
And if I would go encrypted disk I'd probably store my password so it could be found somewhere.
But his computer is one thing, various services another. To get into his personal files may not be so hard and are probably possible to do, to get into various services probably not. I really hope they don't honor such requests actually.
But personally I think Apple do way to little in their mac and OS X business and to much with gadgets. Which may be good for their business/money flow/brand knowledge/whatever but it suck for ME;D
Only part of Apple I care about are the OS and applications;D (And computers if I'm forced to use them.)
No, the goal is to make a huge profit. Coolness doesn't have shit to do with it, unless it makes you more money.
Of course both wanted profits, it's just that Apple failed more so to speak. And yes, back in the days Steve Jobs may have cared about what the consumers wanted/should be getting. Nowadays it seems less so.
If they can choose from say 80$ in profit of average OS sale, $150 for OS + low-end designed PC or $600 for high-end PC with some options I wouldn't be so sure about that.
Two years ago everyone was complaining how dead Nintendo was because their sales was so low, but atleast they made a profit of their products. Sure Microsoft sold more Xboxes, but at a loss... And sure Sony sold more consoles, but they (eventually, I don't remember the numbers, so don't trust me on this one:) didn't earned as much money.
And in this case it's probably the "custom PC"-market which is a nche. Companies, schools, governments, laptop buyers, many people who buy desktops are just fine with pre-selected components.
And btw Apple would probably not "win-win", atleast they don't seem to think so. And it's Apples property so they don't give a shit about what you belive.
Uhm, so how many have preordered psystars systems? Compared to the amount of machines Apple sell? Compared to total PC sales?
I already have a hack-compatible mac system, and a real macbook pro, and I would never buy psystars system, and can't understand why anyone else does either.
Because it's not a genuine installation disc, because it's just like any other hack. And software update probably works, but once you start install it it may break some of the hacks which you have which makes the machine not work later on (most likely because Apple have updated some part of the OS which happened to be cracked, not that Apple replace it on purpose just to fuck with hacks.)
Your second part are probably the correct one, it do require additional patches, and it's not running retail Leopard, it's running a Leopard hack. But it can run the vanilla kernel thanks to netkas work.
Printer drivers and most applications are probably ok. I guess things like X-code, Quicktime, Pro tools updates, and such may break the system.
I doubt that since it will be easy to just crack that check each and every time aswell. So it's 100% pointless and will only lead to problems for the consumers, which Apple for sure don't want to happen.
Of course it's not a fake, anyone can do this on their own PC (or well, almost any PC)
Gigabyte doesn't have to agree to shit, you can buy the same gigabyte motherboard and install it on your own without or with psystar existing. They haven't done shit except selling the pre-cracked DVD and whatever PC.

Just build your own hack and it will be both cheaper and up to whatever specs you want. Or get a real mac =P
Because it's not a genuine installation disc, because it's just like any other hack. And software update probably works, but once you start install it it may break some of the hacks which you have which makes the machine not work later on (most likely because Apple have updated some part of the OS which happened to be cracked, not that Apple replace it on purpose just to fuck with hacks.)

Printer drivers and most applications are probably ok. I guess things like X-code, Quicktime, Pro tools updates, and such may break the system.
Are you sure about the TPM part? AFAIK part of the OS are indeed encryptet, but the key is known so not much of an issue.
I doubt that since it will be easy to just crack that check each and every time aswell. So it's 100% pointless and will only lead to problems for the consumers, which Apple for sure don't want to happen.
