True, at that time you could take a P!!! from a 100MHz bus and turn it up to 133, which actually did save enough money reliably to be worth it, but even that wasn't as impressive as the old Celeries. These days, chips are cheap, and 50$ will get you a TBird 900, which will keep any but the most serious users happy, which is why I say there's no point. Sorry for my snappy tone previously.
The thing is, this guy didn't JUST spam, he threatened Neil with a lawsuit for the basic act of reporting the spamming. THAT is flatout illegal, as it should be.
Yup, we all know how it used to be. However, chips are no longer clocked that low below potential from the factory, and the serious overclockers buy the highest speed available and crank another 200MHz out of it, which provides no useful increase. Do you see why someone would question spending $200 on cooling to turn a 1.5 into a 1.7?
Yeah, the 7k Deltas are loud. Those aren't necessary for normal uses though; saying that cause those are too loud, air cooling is loud is false. My case is quietly aircooled, with a nice processor fan, cause it's not the Delta. Don't rush to assume so.
The problem with your assertion is that you reduce the functionality of a car to just "go." When a tool has but a single purpose, of course the controls can be made simple. Fortunately, computers do NOT have one single purpose. They do, for the most part, whatever you want. It would be impossible to make them just "go." What would that do, start writing a letter, or balance your checkbook, check email, play solitaire, what? You need to have ways of selecting what you want it to do, and that's only its status after you first turn it on. After that you have to deal with programs you install yourself and data you wish to store. It will never be as simple as your much-idealized "push the pedal and turn the wheel," that's just ludicrous and it would be illegal to drive with that level of knowledge. Think about it.
Troll? The person made a very stupid argument, comparing a corporate high-volume license to a single car that would be owned by one person. How is this a troll?
And Chevrolet isn't even American. The Chevrolet Brothers were Swiss.
So the fact that Chevrolet was founded in America, employs Americans, and builds primarily for American consumers means nothing compared to the fact that the founders were immigrants, like 95% of the entire United States?
Also, as long as we're discussing "American," you knew that the founder of Ford, Henry Ford, was a big fan of Adolf Hitler, didn't you?
No. You are STUPID. To make an accurate comparison with your example, we would have to consider a corporate fleet of Mustangs, which would cost a few million dollars.
What was your point again?
I don't think I can phrase it better than you already did.
Can you PROVE they're only used with a warrant? If you find a keylogger, you have every right to demand a warrant. Key loggers can't be always let through on the assumption that they are only used with warrants.
Just as an OT point, the Laser was branded from Plymouth, and both it and the Talon had Chrysler badges on them. It's not a perfect analogy, as there wasn't exactly licensing at work there; all 3 brands rolled off the same line and were identical until the nameplates were added.
Of course, you could look at it like I do, and if every copy of a CD really is worth 20$, then all the pirates are really wealth creators, just like corps...

Man bites dog...
Sounds about as ridiculous. I especially love the guy's total and complete lack of grammatic ability.
I have a nice quiet Sunon on my Zalman 5000 to cool a Tbird 1333, and it doesn't crash during hours of gaming.

Totally OT, but that was Boromir.

I just read Fellowship again yesterday, and I don't remember anything about Saruman designing his own ring yet. Later on yes, but not in Fellowship.
Yeah, especially age 15 for what seems to be the first time...

I doubt he's talking about PS2, somehow.
Can you PROVE they're only used with a warrant? If you find a keylogger, you have every right to demand a warrant. Key loggers can't be always let through on the assumption that they are only used with warrants.
Um, yeah, but he said he just upgraded the system, which means it had the same OS, so that doesn't apply.
Ok, let Microsoft say what it thinks is a fair punishment. If this is less than what the court gives, ignore it.
Just as an OT point, the Laser was branded from Plymouth, and both it and the Talon had Chrysler badges on them. It's not a perfect analogy, as there wasn't exactly licensing at work there; all 3 brands rolled off the same line and were identical until the nameplates were added.
Yeah, you could do it like that. I challenge you to find one programmer who prefers that.
How bout this, as a good basis:
"If it can be copyrighted, it's speech!"
Zalman makes one, too...
I don't know what's funnier, the comment or the moderation...

Some of us require x86... thanks for being a zealot, though.
