    "Either you are just trying to randomly boast about unrelated stuff, or you are exaggerating the effect of some of those measurements on network load."

    It appears you're to ignorant of the daily life of someone that monitors greenhouses and their equipment ALL OVER THE GLOBE.

    Australia, Morocco, UK, and now I have China and Japan using my tech and services.

    Over 60 facilities.

    Over 20 cameras per facility streaming 1080p HD to me, and that's not including the uncompressed live audio streams.

    The pH/EC/PPM data? 720p uncompressed video feed.

    10Gb is PATHETICALLY WEAK.

    "Crysis 3 level graphics,"

    You never mentioned with or without AA, and at what texture detail.

    Just FYI, the HD4200 couldn't keep up with the GeForce 7950. And it's, what, 3-4 generations ahead?

  4. Guess you've not bothered looking at the full-size die pics (not the crap Anandtech has, either.)

    It looks much closer to the HD5000 series, and still has unknown additions to it.

  5. All these stupidly expensive solutions... on Ask Slashdot: How Best To Disconnect Remote Network Access? · · Score: 1

    Timer-controlled IP address management can be found in dd-wrt firmware. You can set that machine IP address to have zero minutes and zero seconds of access if you want, and only do it from the router when the vendor calls you to ask to update.

    This is literally a $10 ebay WRT-54G with a free firmware upgrade solution.

    For me, I run multiple experiments in my home, HD stream those out to my investors, and also feed live nutritional, pH, EC, PPM, and other data as well. Then on top of that, control OTHER cameras in the UK facility, along with my remote roving 'bot' that I control and look up-close at plants for any possible problems.

    And 10Gb is PATHETICALLY weak for my purposes.

    "10GBe won't be as fast as a nice cheap SSD"

    That's not a good point, especially for me where all of my computers minus one use MenuetOS at 1.4MB in size. I can run a PRISM or Ghost server pretty easily, and today's home hardware is equivalent to the hardware we were using in-house at Solectron for imaging THOUSANDS of laptops every hour back in 2006.

    And once the OS is loaded into RAM, there's no need for the SSD unless you're lacking the memory needed for swap.

    Keep it local? I guess I could boot from USB but that kinda makes for multiple points of failure, moreso than already present.

    "the Wii U GPU is based on the Radeon HD 5000 series GPU"

    The GPU alone is more than enough to do 1080p gaming on many titles. If I can play the latest SFxTekken at 1080p on a PS3-era GeForce 7950, you can bet the WiiU will do that AND THEN SOME.

    "Almost everyone I have engaged in this argument with fails to understand or acknowledge this fact"

    That's funny because EULAs are pretty much null and void in many jurisdictions, including California, where I whipped Electronic Art's ass in court.

    So you think you know what the facts are, but you're wrong.

    Pretty much every driver here makes less than federal minimum wage, including the tips, before illegal credit tip deductions, mileage, etc. Which means we're not reporting at all, because we're routinely falling under the filing threshold ($9,750 for 2012)

    Papa John's pizza needs to be hit with another class-action lawsuit. I've witnessed something quite illegal - here in California, delivery drivers have $1 taken off of every credit card-paid delivery they make where the tip received is over $1.95. That's a violation of California Labor Code 351.
