  1. Re:My Grandfather's Advice on Navigating a Geek Marriage? · · Score: 1

    At my grandparents' 65th wedding anniversary, my grandfather was asked for the secret to his long marriage. He said, "In any domestic dispute, if it turns out you are right, apologize at once."

    Your grandfather was Lazarus Long? Well, he did have a prodigious number of descendants. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazarus_Long

  2. Re:Maybe a result of simple business? on Intel X58 To Be First Non-NVIDIA Chipset To Get SLI · · Score: 3, Insightful

    All OEM X58 motherboard manufacturers will have to submit their boards for certification by NVIDIA. NVIDIA will also be charging an undisclosed certification fee. If the board passes certification, NVIDIA issues a BIOS key enabling SLI. The NVIDIA SLI drivers check for the presence of this key. NVIDIA will continue to design chipsets for Penryn based platforms, but it will not be making any QPI enabled chipsets for Nehalem. Thus, with Nehalem, the only way to get SLI support with an LGA-1366 MB would be to use an Intel chipset. NVIDIA will be making LGA-1160 based Nehalem motherboards (dual-channel DDR3) for the low end and mainstream markets, but that platform isn't expected to debut until late 2009.

  3. Rumor has it... on Intel X58 To Be First Non-NVIDIA Chipset To Get SLI · · Score: 1

    The going rumor is that Intel and Nvidia struck a deal where Intel would get a license to make SLI chipsets, and Nvidia gets a license to make chipsets for teh upcoming i7 (Nehalem) platform.

    With a sales tax, the rich tend to buy more non-necessities, and more expensive ones like cars and homes. So they naturally would pay more in sales tax than a lower income family.

    I don't quite see it this way. For the poor, the "necessities" will be a proportionally higher part of their income than for the wealthy. The rich may pay more due to luxury items, but when looking at the necessities the poor are taxed a disproportionately high ratio of their income.

    He didn't say he was a techno geek. He's a typical person trying to get his work done.... Actually he did. "Even techno-geeks like me get annoyed by Windows." RTFA, or at least the parent post you are criticizing.
  7. When oh when will we get Unix! on Linus Not The Father Of Linux, According to Report · · Score: 1
    For almost thirty years, programmers have tried and failed to successfully build a Unix-like system and couldn't. To this day, we have a serious attribution problem in software development because people have chosen to scrupulously borrow or imitate Unix."
    Message: Unix was good, but its over now, and we have a problem in software development when people imitate things that are Not Windows.
