they consider the iPhone to be a nice prestige item but hopelessly outclassed by its own phones. Westerners drool over Japanese gadgets and often the cry is hear, why don't we get japanese phones/laptops/etc over here.
The 6870 actually has less performance than the 5870... Same goes for the 6850/5850... I don't really understand why they named them the way they did... Either way, a 6970 is supposed to be released in the near future to surpass the GTX480/5870.
I wouldn't say I understand, but I can see dudes showing of his shiny iPhone to compensate for other body parts, good, charge that iPhone every night.
What's with this absolutely lame excuse you people parrot every time someone has something nicer than you?
Regardless, I never once changed my calculator battery through 6 years of engineering school since it was a lowly TI-30X IIS, one of the few calculators actually allowed in class.
I don't think you know what a Pyramid scheme is either...
Let's wikipedia it:
A pyramid scheme is a non-sustainable business model that involves promising participants payment primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme, rather than from any real investment or sale of products or services to the public. Pyramid schemes are a form of fraud.
What you're describing on the other hand is just exploitation.
if you can't see how this pertains to facebook then you are too dull to be helped.
The reason your HD4650 is sufficient is because you're playing essentially console games on a graphics card thats slightly more powerful than the consoles themselves. Also you're only running at a low resolution, try gaming at 1920x1080 on your 4650, it won't get you too far.
That is why I wouldn't be surprised if the next gen gaming consoles don't do something similar to the original Xbox
There is a reason they didn't do that again, it's because it's more expensive than a dedicated console...
Slashdot Mirror
Was this retarded headline also conceived there or did you come up with it yourself?
Same performance? Surely you're joking?
Rich? The MBA will last you longer than your crappy Neo X2 laptop and it will have a higher resale value down the road.
You spend your money on crap, meanwhile I'll spend my money on quality.
UGS NX is also available for Macs now which is really nice considering it's a top tier CAD/CAM/CAE package.
Expensive as hell though.
Google it?
Yes, but the Japanese didn't just dump their dollar reserves like the cunning GP claims China could do to ruin the US economy.
Not any more.
Two problems with your cunning plan.
1) By dumping the money on the market, they lower it's value.
2) The Renminbi is tied to the dollar. (hint: CPC will be fucked)
Do you copy/paste this into every China thread?
It's inevitable. With the productivity increases brought about because of IT and automation, there simply are not enough jobs for everyone to work at.

How about video chat that works with the iPhone as well?
Would be nice to use my Epic to video chat with a friends iPhone.
$36k/year is expensive for a company of 500 people?
It's called quality control. Something that exists outside of IT in real engineering fields.
The iPhone 4 also have 512MB of RAM.
The iPhone 4 and the Epic have the same CPU.
In fact, I believe the Epic is clocked faster.
+30% of 2 is 2.6 not 2.3

I've never heard that one before.

Of course, however one can't assume they will be cheaper when they've never really been tried either!
The OP was referring to reactor designs which are entirely in the experimental phase, thorium reactors and travelling wave reactors.
As a mechanical engineer, I generally agree with your sentiments however.

Yes of course, unproven reactor designs will certainly be cheaper!
Out of all the nations in the Americas, only the "United States of America" has the word "America" in it.
