I have a Q6600 @ 3.4Ghz and paired it with a cheap 5870. I'm still able to play most games at high settings, even at 2560X1600. IMO it is one of the 'best' CPU's ever made. Will be somewhat sad to upgrade when IvyBridge-E is released.
I would have liked to have seen the same benchmarks with the processor overclocked too but nice article. Q6600 FTW!
I sometimes use Modafinal when I'm working late or need an extra boost. To me it's much more noticeable than caffeine; it keeps me concentrating all day and doesn't make me jittery. Not recreational though. Anyone else it whilst coding?
Maybe in a couple of years...Android X86 RC2 doesn't even come with Ethernet support. Software support is lacking big time. I would not want to use this in a production environment.
I switched from Windows 7 to OpenSuse and have not looked back. The community is great, the platform is stable and KDE is the most productive desktop environment for me. The new Dolphin file manager is reason alone to switch.
Just read the abstract..."We demonstrate up to 2 Gbps of real time random number generation that were verified using standard randomness tests". A twitter RNG could not do this:)
I read somewhere that twitter feeds were being used as seeds for random number generators. Found the page here http://pyevolve.sourceforge.net/wordpress/?p=631
This seems like a great approach. Could someone explain the benefits of this over the above, why it is needed and how can we be sure they are truly random.
You can grind gold (repeatably kill certain mobs) and sell their drops on the AH. You can make anywhere between 100-200G an hour depending on how good you are and how many mobs there are to kill.
I believe these guys were raiding SSC and TK (high level instances) for drops which can be sold on the AH for around 1000G. Also once you reach such a high level you don't have much to spend your gold on.
Normally people that farm gold live in countries where the national wage is low - And so the term "Chinese gold farmer" is used. I would suspect they make around $4-6 an hour.
Either you are on a very expensive server or you are getting overcharged; Swagvault sells 100G for $3, 5000G is $130. Some people can make 150-200G an hour grinding at level 70 this results in $6 an hour, a lot more than some employees of apple get paid for making the Ipod. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/08/19/mother_jon es_goes_to_china
Not true. Google Earth, Docs and many other services require interaction and do so very well.

The SanDisk Cruzer Titanium is very durable. I have seen a video on cnet where it is run over by a mini and the data is not lost. It comes in 1 or 2GB models. I have found the 2gb for around $75.
"Analog modems operating at speeds greater than 600 bit/s are technically broadband" says Wikipedia
Although I would not call a 200kb/s connedction "broadband". The limitations of my 2mb/s line can already be seen when downloading and using my xbox online...The strain on our internet connection will grow over the next years as more of our household devices share our connection.
Finland soon will have a connection fast enough to stream HDTV around the house, but we are going to be stuck on these relitavily low speeds for a while.
