Except that, for the same chip model, increased frequency does increase speed. If you take two processors that are identical save for the frequency, the one with the higher frequency will be faster.
Sure, so? I didn't say that wasn't true.
This comment is from a guy who runs an i7 920 at 4GHZ on air.
Yes, because your 3.4ghz dual core is faster then my 3.2ghz quad core. This had nothing to do with the Athlons wooping the Pentiums or Intel releasing "slow" Core Duo processors that were "half the speed" of their Pentium 4s.
Indeed, let's just throw Apple into this for the +1 relevant.
Windows Mobile is alright if you're into pen based computing. The iPhone/Android devices are touch based devices though, different paradigms apply.
Note: I've been using Windows Mobile since it was called PocketPC back in 2000. Yes, I still have an original iPaq, sleeves and all.
First smartphone was a Windows Mobile device, next one was an iPhone, currently using a Palm Pre, and next month I'm about to purchase an HTV EVO 4G(Android device).
They certainly don't use iPhones to bill your credit card for purchases anyway
Yes, yes they do. When I went there to purchase my iPad, the entire sale was done via an iPhone. They have little printers underneath the tables that print out your receipt too.
Having actually used the app, it contains a lot of music in it(No the music isn't autoactivated) and video.
The music is cool, there is a short blurb about Ratatat and you can listen to one of their full songs in the app. There is also an article on NIN and their creative process and you can listen as a song morphs from a concept to a fully mastered song while reading about it.
It's a cool concept, better then Popular Sciences app.

Am I shitting on him? Did I just tell him to go fuck himself like you so dryly did?
No. I agree we need to lessen our dependence on oil, if only because it is unsustainable.
However, that doesn't absolve oneself from the reality of our oil dependent world. He might not need the oil, but the civilization he currently lives in certainly does and nothing you say will change that fact. As much as you would like to, you can't wish it away. Unfortunately a major change won't come about because of two or three John Does deciding to live sustainably, it will happen when we decide to use alternative energy sources at a large scale or when we starve ourselves of energy. Since we need that oil, we will keep drilling, deeper and deeper.

I would recommend a therapist.
"Oh noes! He brought up the reality of the situation and the constraints we face in our world! I hate him!"

Oil is a fungible good, eventually we're going to have to start drilling at 5000' or really start ramping up alternative energy production to maintain our current standards of living.
And guess what, it's not a simple on-off switch, so we're still going to have to drill at 5000' while we switch to these new gee whiz energy sources.
Slashdot Mirror
That would be pretty cool!
For ebooks, just use goodreader or one of the million and one ebook readers on the app store.
As they say, "Theres an app for that."
Hey hey, just because I'm a pedantic nitpicker doesn't mean I'm am idiot.

That would make things easier for the both of us.
Yes, but you imply it was mainly Apples doing which is false.
Sure, so? I didn't say that wasn't true.

In Soviet Russia, Nanofood eats you!
Right, AMD and Intel didn't participate in the "GHZ isn't everything" campaign either.

Yes, faster is always better.
What we learned is that high GHZ don't necessarily imply a chip is faster.
That's most likely due to ATTs network. Although when I had my iPhone I never had a problem getting emails on it.
Email, Calender, Tasks, Contacts, and most importantly Calculator all seem to work just fine on the iPad/iPhone for me.

You're correct technically, it is an i7 920, however it's running at 4ghz not 2.66 :-P
Siemens recently ported UGS NX to OS X, so there's that for CAD/CAM.
Also, a lot of those hipsters you decry do make money too by the way.

Ehrm, it's at 4ghz you insensitive clod!
And no, I don't NEED it, but I prefer it!

The point of the relief well is to relieve pressure on the main well and then seal it safely.
Do you realize what kind of political fallout BP would receive if they were actually wasting time trying to salvage the well?
So you don't use plastic products either? You don't use goods that are transported on trucks that consume oil? You never walk over asphalt roads?
A Relief Well isn't for production. So yes, it's not really something you can question...
Seems like they're trying to dodge the DoJ by adding "competition."
Regardless this is pretty nice, it means I can developed for my iPad/Phone/Pod on my core i7 desktop rather then my 4 year old iMac.
Well if they can't drill it at 5000', maybe you shouldn't be driving your car?
