  1. Re:Even if this was true... on Is Intel Planning To Kill Enthusiast PCs? · · Score: 1

    intel has been so far outside the "market sweet spot" for over a decade no wonder they don't care about it.

    you can have my Phenom II black 965 when you pry it from my cold dead hands, but you can get one of your own for 99 bucks

  2. Re:Iron dome has worked for it's first deployment on Why Iron Dome Might Only Work For Israel · · Score: 1

    there are different sizes and designs used by hamas, the smallest ones were basically just little model rockets, then they started adding warheads the size of an M-80 firecracker, they have grown quite a bit since then and are quite dangerous, they are as tall as a man, carry a 15 kg warhead, and will kill or maim anyone unlucky enough to be in the room with one going off (Qassam 3)

    OTOH israel retaliates with 1000lb laser guided smartbombs that turn multi story apartment buildings into craters

  3. Iron dome has worked for it's first deployment on Why Iron Dome Might Only Work For Israel · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Will it still work if the same rockets have an off balance twisted fin making them spiral? Will new tactics erase some of the advantages as fewer and larger salvos are launched? Will EW rockets get thrown in with the others to try to jam iron dome radar tracking? How well will it work against larger salvos with a bunch of really cheap cardboard and tinfoil rockets mixed in?

    Drop BoA they are a huge ripoff. They charge a seperate atm fee for a balance inquiry. I switched from them to a local credit union. As long as you use a NCUA credit union with shared branches you can use other credit union branches when you are out of town, some even do shared atm

    maximizing storage density isn't something that other competitors will have a hard time with, and they will have more experience with hardware design, and so will have lower production costs and longer MTBF.

    UMAD capitalist pig? you say creating jobs, the jobs already existed because there is demand for the work. The capitalist uses abusive force of government to lay claim to the materials and lands used to meet the demand, by leveraging existing wealth in order to extract an unearned income from the worker.

    You want to know what would happen if you attacked that wealth? Eventually no one would be motivated to do the things that being to earn them such wealth. Progress would stop dead.

    it has to be, anyways, so why not. if the charging field was harmful to other devices nobody would install them. (forget to shut off your car charger, nuke all your electronics) so why not make them using the same standards? nobody would fire up the car coil to charge a cell phone, but it might be useful for corporate users to have an IT closet with a car coil that charges 200 laptops at the same time

    the only way to make this efficient is to make the format mandatory and exclusive, every single device must be compatable with every other, that way battery powered devices no longer need charging cables packed in, the expectation is that you have a charging mat.

    no more car chargers, no more wall wart chargers, no more devices disposed of due to worn out charger connections.

    make sure all are compatable, or near compatable with only variability being amperage output, clearly marked on chargers and minimum to charge marked on all devices.
