I was wondering the same thing. Maybe it was using a distributed set of VoiP clients to actually dial 911 to tie up all the lines. Not sure how they manage to get routed the the same PSAP to overwhelm it if it was distributed.
At least previously you were trying to twist this into some other argument that you could try to win, now you're just resorting to name calling. Grow up, admit you were wrong, move on with your life. This is just sad.
Whether or not it is a marketing term is not relevant. That's what it is, a Celeron branded CPU, not an Atom branded CPU. You can argue over how different it is from an Atom processor (because it's obviously different) but that doesn't mean they aren't different.
I'm not confused at all, there's nothing in this reply I disagree with. Your original post claimed the Samsung device had a "Core" based CPU and that the Acer Chromebook 14 had a poor "Atom" CPU. They both have Celeron CPU.
I never claimed there wasn't a difference between the two. Read the thread again. And the name calling is really unnecessary. The argument you were trying to make was a comparison between Celeron and Atom, which isn't even relevant to the discussion.
You claimed the Samsung had a Core-based CPU, it doesn't. It says right in the summary it is a Celeron.
I'm just as shocked as you. Maybe if we all approached the discussions witha little less absolute certainty and responded to difficult posts a little more kindly this place wouldn't be such a cesspool.
For what it's worth namecheap now includes free whois guard. Maybe they just rolled it into the domain fee, but at least it's not a separate charge. They also have pretty cheap domain names, I moved everything there years ago. Beats the hell out of godaddys and network solutions constant ads literally inside the management portal.
You can call it whatever you want, the literal name of the product is Celeron. I'm really not going to argue with you about it. The point is the Samsung has a Celeron processor as well.
With Chrome you can use flash drives, your own "cloud" storage (ie Seafile, NextCloud, etc) or NAS. Personally, I need very little local storage on my Chromebook. I recommend using something like a very low profile USB drive. They aren't extremely high performance, but are plenty fast to stream music or movies, or copy documents back and forth. You can also leave it in the device for the most part because it barely protrudes from the side, and it's curved, so it doesn't catch on edges as easily getting it in and out of bags.
But if your laptop supports it, MicroSD cards are a great option as well.
No, it's not an Atom, it's a Celeron N3160. If you click on the link I posted you can read the specs. And the Samsung also has a celeron, it's right there in the summary:
The Chromebook Plus, powered by Intel Celeron Processor 3965Y and 4GB of RAM, goes on sale later this month at $499.
My last Chromebook was an Acer Chromebook 14 that has an all aluminum chassis, 14" IPS (!) display and a nice, huge trackpad, and also had 4GB of RAM and a quad core Celeron. And it cost me $275, it's even a little less expensive now. I've had it for well over a year. I can't imagine why anyone would choose this device. Maybe the tablet functionality? I certainly have no interest in that, personally.
It's been an awfully busy year and it has gone down a number of rabbit holes which have led to numerous arrests and convictions. Turns out it's a pretty complex process and it's ONLY been a year. How many years did we investigate Benghazi? Four?
A lot of the research suggests that tablet replacement rates are just much longer than cellphones. So once everyone got a tablet they didn't have much reason to upgrade it.
In theory, what you're saying is right, in practice, it doesn't really matter. And because of the ease of commenting using reddits system compared to slashdot, more people participate. Generally speaking the funniest and most insightful comments bubble to the top, almost inveitably. I think this is because most subreddits contain people who are interested in the topic and are generally educated on it. In the big cesspools like r/worldnews and r/politics, all bets are off. But in the interesting, technical subreddits, it's really a non-issue.
You also have the ability to sort comments by methods other than total upvotes, so you can slice and dice it in interest ways. For example, sorting by the most controversial comments or newest.
However, Reddit just seems like a crappy forum that doesn't even measure up to a freakin' Php-nuke or vBulletin site.
Reddit is a collection of subreddits that are focused around particular topics. So the quality of commenting is relative to which subreddit you're in. The default reddits, presumably, don't attract the typical slashdot crowd. And there are tons of extremely deep, esoteric subreddits. The thing that makes reddit great is two things:
1. You can subscribe to different subreddits and customize your feed
2. The comment voting system and sorting system is pretty much the best the internet has come up with, and lets you filter out the garbage pretty easily.
Here are some subreddits that I like that might appeal to the slashdot crowd to get you started. Part of the fun of reddit is discovering and subscribing to new subreddits:
7.2 times more likely is more like 1:1000 vs. 1:140. Not a minor difference.
And if it was 20x more likely? My laptop is probably 20x easier to bend than a Panasonic Toughbook. Is my laptop brittle? Who determines what's adequate? Was the 5s just over-engineered? Considering that the other phones Consumer Reports tested bent as easy, or easier, than the iPhone 6 Plus, is that bad? Sounds like the 5s was just so far beyond everything else it was unnecessarily over-engineered.
The first sentence of my post: "That Consumer Reports test was flawed, because they tested pressure in the middle when the phones were clearly being bent at a particular point higher up."
Claim: The iPhone 6 Plus will bend easily if placed in a pocket.
MOSTLY FALSE
I really don't care about your analysis over Consumer Reports or Snopes.
Overall, what Consumer Reports found was that while all of the phones they tested would eventually bend or break with the application of enough force, âoeit took significant force to do this kind of damage to all these phonesâ and every model tested (including the iPhone 6) should hold up fine under ordinary, everyday use.
Turns out you can break any phone if you try hard enough. Who knew!
They're routers in a purely technical sense, they do separate broadcast domains.
Sure, but a switch separates broadcast domains, too. That's not a defining characteristic of a router. The difference is that a router (and layer 3 switches, etc) separates layer 3 networks.
I'll chip in. I just need someone with enough credibility to launch the kickstarter/gofundme/whatever so that I trust them. Maybe we could get CmdrTaco to do it?
It's a non-issue. Yes, their internal reports said it was more likely to bend than the iPhone 5s. So? Can you only make a new phone if it's less likely to bend? What's acceptable levels of manufacturing? If the 5s had a 1:1,000 chance to bend and the 6 Plus had a 1:950 chance, but got a thinner, lighter device... so? Who cares?

"Trump meets with Kim, but it won't result in anything useful"
Not only did NPR not run this headline, I can't find any other "MSM" that did. Do you have a source?
Also, is Fox News MSM?

$500 is definitely more than I'm willing to pay for a Celeron with 4GB of RAM.

A layer 2 switch does not, you're correct, a layer 3 switch does.
And again, what definition of router are you using?
I can't tell if the stories and comments got worse or I just got older and technology changed.
