  1. Re:So what should we do? on Jeep/Chrysler's New Gearshift Appears To Be Causing Accidents (roadandtrack.com) · · Score: 1

    Production? manually with soldering iron? are you from 1985 too? Soldering stations in factory are used for rework, and you NEED at least a couple of settings for different loads (air speed for socket vs 0402). Things like FR-810 are pretty much unusable garbage compared to older models with actual knobs.

    can your modern i-7 laptop boot without intel management blobs?

    Sounds exactly like Hakko soldering gear, you pay >$500 for soldering station and end up with 1985 alarm clock/wristwatch type of interface for setting up temperature.

    sales person: we sold 10 millions of pieceofcrap#1, we had a 5 month wait list first time we introduced it, pieceofcrap#2 is 4 times cheaper, we could sell one million in a day.

  6. where men are men, women are also men, and .... on Edward Snowden Is Tired of Being Bombarded By Suitors (mirror.co.uk) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Its pretty obvious what is happening here.
    Extrapolating from good old 'where men are men, women are also men, and children are FBI agents' we can safely assume this is an FBI sting operation aiming to lure Snowden with some juicy ass photos into leaving Russia. FBI went one step further preemptively asserting their answer to obligatory TITS or GTFO.

  7. not this again :/

    Recent talk by Sheldon Cooper sums this topic pretty nicely (around 35.30 minutes in) https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
    We DONT CARE about feelings, we care about absolutes. I wont cater to some alien (to me) social norms just because you are a precious snowflake, I will tell you outright what is wrong ('this code is garbage' etc).

    This is also pretty good and on topic https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  11. Re:Fake overclocking on Locked Intel Skylake CPUs Can Be Overclocked After BIOS Update (techspot.com) · · Score: 2

    My AMD FX-8320E can easily have the base clocked cranked up to around 4.5Ghz-4.6Ghz..... I have yet to find a game or program that my chip can't just blow through

      types that don't know shit about CPU arches and think cranking an i3 is gonna somehow make them competitive with an i7, so for them...yay I guess?

    oh, how wrong you are :)
    try World of Tanks ( http://worldoftanks.eu/ ), SINGLE THREADED game written in python (and some ActionScript!) of all the languages :)
    You will find your FX overclocked to 4.6GHz barely pushing 60fps, and being beaten by $30 Intel cpus. Doesnt really matter if its Core2, pentium, i3 i5 or i7, all that counts is MHz and raw IPC.
