  1. Re:Nothing to see here. on Analyst Doubts Intel's Dual-Core Demo · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I tried to moderate this, when
    I realized we realy need a new
    moderation category 'paranoid'.

    Seriously, i do believe that the
    'maybe intel didnt demo a real
    dualcore cpu but said they did'

    article is near 100% speculation.
    Any facts here? Didnt saw them.

    snippet from the article: (translated)

    Only the service companies have 5% of their data-processing park under Windows XP while the general average is around the 2%.

    So these are no Windows XP homeusers at all, but mostly servicecompanies..

    I agree.

    I myself are looking for a normal keyboard that doesn't have al that yadayada extra accidently-press-me-buttons on it.
    They dont make good ones anymore. The only that i could get my hands on are made of some dust-magnetic-collecting plastic.

    Or..a keyboard that has both slashes beneath the enter key. I'm just not compatible with that.

    Our library clerk got relocated after messing to much with students doing stuff he thought was scary.. then ofcourse they hired someone that was even worse.

    In my opinion, schools have to let you learn both ways. (pc/mac/*nix)
    The best should be to standard do both. Only on request give an altered studypackage per student.
