Was the GPU a 7900? I had the same problem along with screen corruption. Solution was to remove the entire GPU unit and bake it in the oven for 20 mins at 450deg. The solder reflowed and it was OK again for another year. Was a really bad design.
The only real reason you would need this high of a DPI is if you strap the phone to your head and use it for VR purposes. Outside of that, I don't think you can see 4k of actual pixels.
We have seen this before with tons of mainstream devices, smartphones are no different. You have the incumbents designing and engineering something main stream while other manufacturers will come in and sell something similar with slightly less features for vastly lower costs. I think we are coming close to "peak smartphone development" where it's at the point they are good enough for almost everything we want them to do. I bought an SG 7 and quite frankly, it will be the last 800$ phone I ever buy. Nothing revolutionary, just iterative at this point.
Apple and Samsung are at the top end of a saturated market. Really nowhere to go but down unless they are only interested in market share with lower end phones they can sell at lower costs. Not sure if this is the market they want to chase, especially Apple.
I have no problem with this type of scum getting some sort of jailtime. The question is, does the punishment fit the crime? I do not believe that this person will get anywhere near 105 years, especially if there are no priors. Before passing judgement, I think I will wait for a conviction. Is there a precedent for this type of crime with the same kind of scale to it?
Nope. Same device, same hardware revision. Probably the most reliable thing in my basement. I use it for the decent QOS, bandwith history and as a failover WAP in case my wireless N unit loses power for whatever reason. I can't imagine tearing it apart to add IO headers for this kind of project though.
HERE HERE!
I'm on the dish network, don't get my signals over the air and get bombarded with those retarded commercials every other minute! It does not make sense to me, I wish it would get done already.
Sorry for answering so late in the game, but one of the main reasons to have dynamic ip's is so that the ISP does not have to keep (and pay for) large blocks of unused ip's. They oversell ip's like they do bandwith as they know not all of them will be in use 100% of the time.
Ever wonder why some ISPs have ridiculously short lease times, sometimes on the order of 4 hours?
Oh I know, perhaps they are applying magic numbers to the same way the calculate "total music power"
350 HP is the RMS value, turn it into PMPO and add some magic, poof! we now have a more sensationalistic number.
I was looking into the same thing myself. on ebay for 65$ shipped, you can get a usb 2.0 - cat5e converter so you can make 150 foot usb runs if necessary. If you really wanted, stick a usb hub on the business end of things, put on a usb keyboard, mouse, monitor maybe a soundcard and you got a silent front end. Probably only good for videos and small things, as I doubt any of it is hardware accelerated.
As for me, I put the noisy beast in the basement, and drilled a few small holes through the floor. Cheap and simple htpc.
I watched this movie in tidbits here and there, but just had to shut off the tv. It's rife with bias and fanatics as to make it uncredible. If you think there was a conspiracy between GM and big oil, Toyota was just as bad. Look up higher in the comments, someone was talking about a Rav4 EV produced 1997-2001. They took them back at end of lease, crushed most of em except 300ish.
Sorry for being 2 weeks late.
Whats a linux dsl modem? Are you talking about the internal ones they havent been selling anymore for years now? Nowadays external modem just merely convert ATM to ethernet, and you connect to your standard nic to use your protocol stack of choice, PPPOE/A or whatever.
Ha! damn you, made me spill coke out my nose.
Its all too true tho. Bittorrent in my case is more of a Tivo. I VNC to my bittorent bitch machine at home, download stuff that comes to mind, and watch it when i get home. If only my machine didnt sound like a jet, would be great to use as an HTPC.
When someone gives me a printer and paper solution that is ink and tonerless, I will be happy.
To answer this question, look no further than thermalpaper. They used those on old school fax machines and Circuit City receipts. The problem is that if you leave em out in the sun, they all turn black and they tend to fade rather quickly. Makes things a PITA if you want to return stuff. Wonder if there are laws againt "disapppearing ink". Also, the consumable itself is rather expensive.
I dont know whether to cry or laugh at this post, but it is so true.
Im sure people will be quick to respond with: "If you are good at what you do and are the best available, then you will never be outsourced."
This may be true for people with more acronyms of their degrees than letters in their names and have 10+ years experience in their field. However for the rest of us emergent in this field, it feels like a false start. If I had to do it over again, I would be in the business field. Don't take IT by itself, complement it with a BA of some sort. I presently play a role as a network support specialist for an ISP but I feel more doors would be opened if I had an MBA added to my title.
If your job can be done by telecommuting, then it can also be done in a different country. In the IT field, if you don't think that you are replacable, than you are just kidding yourself.
I would love to be able to do something like this. Add a wireless color camera, and you got yourself a cheap video surveillance UAV. However, this project is not yet complete and not a working model. Perhaps something like this would be better on http://hackaday.com/ rather than/.

The Buddy Holly video from Weezer was far and away the best part of the windows 95 install CD (or was it Plus pack?)
Heh, that was the first video I ever ripped from a disc (of any kind), & transcoded to Divx 3.11alpha. Good times.
Good times indeed! Just reminded me of the other insipid song that came on the win95 CD https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Wow. The summary has more word content than the comments. Guess people must have missed this one.

How much extra does your dedicated pots line cost?

Unfortunatly, this proves that once again, that there isn't a bad company, just bad mananagement.

Holy crap! This response is 2 weeks out of date, but do you work for TELUS?

To this I say ouch, however savvis.net has been known to be teh suck for peering. Dont take my word for it, poke around.

As always with this type of hardware, just bring money. No big deal, right?

Man, after all this time, I thought people went there just for fun!
With all that new and expesive hardware out there, we should have a tag called - justbringmoney

There has got to be a stop to these summaries ending with a question. Haha, terminator, we get it thanks. Next!
