  2. Re:Increased cache latency. on Intel Prescott Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    yes, but ask yourself this, when you decrease the surface area that you wish to remove heat from, and increase the total heat output, the heat density is much much higher. Heat causes resistance, which in turn will cause more problems with integrity. It is going to be tricky just to keep that sucker stable at 4GHz unless they make some big changes.

    The issues they are having, especially with heat on this new process, are going to make ramping the clock speed difficult.

  5. Re:Unfortunately on Ripoff 101: Gouging Students for Textbooks · · Score: 1

    Very hard to do when you buy the books for the class you took, find out that the professor was changed, and all the text books are now different. On top of that, add perhaps the fact that you need said book for next class; 2 days away. Sometimes you just have to bite the leather and take the reaming from those bastards. The other point I had to make was the fact that yes, you can pay $100 for a text book. You sell it back to them later on for $9 and the next semester they sell it as a used book for $70. That is dutch door action.

    PCI X is available and has been for some time. I think you are confusing it with PCI Express, which is the new standard.

  7. Re:They don't care about us on Wal*Mart continues push for RFID adoption · · Score: 1

    Yes, they have great prices. Yes, their workers are usually as useful as a football bat, and their quality is non existent but the real problem I have with them (rather uncaring whoring entities) is that they think that lower prices are what makes a company (and to many, sadly it does). There are times I will gladly pay more for service. I guess I am just lucky to have that extra money

    There is more to business than just profit. If you are only after immediate profit, then you do damage to your future business by alienating your customer base. They use you because they have to, not because they want to. The US lost a big part of itself when it went away from customer service towards only low prices and screwing the consumers.

    Mandrake. It came from the redhat source tree but has better hardware support. It is usually more bleeding edge, so it usually has fancier options, a newer kernel and stuff, but you may sacrifice some stability. I am happy with it, though.

    Very very true. I had an argument with my soon to be father in law about AMD. He is a stock type person and said "There are too many chip companies" and would not listen to me about the fact that not all "chips" do the same damn thing. Most stock heads view companies by industry and not innovation. Buzz does generate interest.

    Governments have had trade tariffs for years to benefit their citizens. What is wrong with doing that? Sure, the very short term will benefit the company's bottom line, but what happens when their local market dies because nobody can afford any of the crappy widgets they produced?

    Running it off of a regular ADSL or consumer cable system would probably violate the TOS of that agreement. They would need business DSL of about 768/768 or a 3mb/1.5mb business cable type service. Do you think you can have about 20 people comfortably served when they are all doing things such as downloading their stock info, or checking and sending email (with pictures, movie clips, etc) on 150k up without complaining Just cuz it is free doesn't mean they won't complain.
