  1. Newest Quads are 30% Faster than Sandy Bridge? on Intel Core I7-7700K Kaby Lake Review By Ars Technica: Is the Desktop CPU Dead? (arstechnica.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    I am so glad that I bought a good motherboard. I do Rhino 3D, Photoshop, Premier / music recording / and some after-hours gaming.

    My 4-year old stock-clocked processor is only about 30% slower than a new quad. In fact, I just put my that motherboard/processor in a new rackmount case. I am still editing the rebuild video; but case is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

    I've built/assembled/configured about 104 computers since 1990. I have never reused a motherboard/processor before. I am hoping that AMD's 8-core pan out, and are affordable. Intel has had things too easy for too long. Intel my not be the whole desktop for long.

    Take a gaming chip, hook it to ECC memory, make the drivers draw 2D lines, and double or tipple the price...oh and make sure the cooling solution is pathetic so the card throttle after a minute. Just slap that "Workstation" sticker on the box.

  9. Thanks, It Works! on RIP Dr. Henry Heimlich, Inventor of the Heimlich Maneuver (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I had a friend who used to show off her fellatio skills. While we all laughed, she showed off her skills with a banana, when it broke. Everyone was shocked when the piece lodged and couldn't be coughed out. I gave her the maneuver, which popped out broken banana across the floor. The laughter reignited, and no one died.

  10. If you think that everyone is monogamous, you are delusional.

  13. Most Stupid Name Change Ever on AMD Unveils First Zen Desktop Processor Details, Picks 'Ryzen' To Brand Zen CPU (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    What were they thinking? Just hop off of a the Zen roller-coaster that people on wall street have been hearing about--and switch to a name that has to be clarified on every corporate release.

    Trying everything they can to shake success from the back of their release.

    Change the name back. It's not too late.

  14. Did anyone notice that Microsoft generally makes fat, bloated, insecure, operating systems, with embedded spyware, which never should be put in an appliance?

    The last thing you will ever see: is the Microsoft logo on your heat-lung machine. Whiiiiiinnnnnneeee.

  19. Samsung has Lost Its Way on Engineers Explain Why the Galaxy Note 7 Caught Fire (digitaltrends.com) · · Score: 1

    I have a Galaxy Note 3. There has been no compelling reason to upgrade. I think there was one marginally better phone before the one that pen that stuck and the one that burned.

    What happened to Samsung that they can't make a phone anymore?

  20. Meh, It's a Cellphone OS on Google Is Rolling Out Android 7.1.1 (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    It's not like the Android "community" is going to use it. You see, cellphones aren't getting better, so we hold on to our phones. Our carriers and cellphone makers won't update our phones. If we update our phones it breaks the warranty.

    Cellphones are just supposed to be disposable crap we purchase in infatuation, and throw in the trash when we discover there's no racing stripe on our model.

    Cellphone usability sucks. Every tried to get stuff done on a cellphone. It has all the power of the 2000 computer, with all the UI design of a Ouija board.

  22. Yes, well all want to be safe at home, while shoving slabs of tasty pizza in our mouths.
    Still, there's a problem, the registry is Unconstitutional, breaking the First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..."

    I think that an attempt to disenfranchise or disestablish a religion, is the same thing as establishing the remaining one.

    Too quickly, we are going from here, to here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
    Fascists walk among us.
