I thought we were talking about laptop graphics not desktop graphics? What laptop can you put a 7970 into? The article is about a laptop CPU with build in graphics. Many laptop do have that today. They are not gaming laptops usually.
Intel does have some good day to day 1080P movie watching graphics. But for high end gaming? No, they are lacking. For a low power movie watching dvr, the Intel graphics do work fine. Well the 4000 series and later 3000 series anyway. Before that, no. Intel needed work. They finally got there.
Personally I prefer to have a separate video card in my home desktops. If it breaks I can change it. If the built into the motherboard video card breaks, swapping out the motherboard is harder and takes longer then changing the video card. The less down time the better. I usually have a spare video card just for that reason.
Maybe if we leave the brain stem (the part that is the life support in humans) alone and look at the 'higher' brain functions. It might hold some truth. Perhaps that is where the 10% part came from. There are many people who (at a young age) lost major parts of their brains. They lead active lives when they got older. The people who lost half of their brain are not 100%, but they can do most things just fine. The people who lost less do better. I am talking about young people here. Infants and people under the age of five. If an adult was to have 1/2 their brain removed, they be screwed (not in the fun way). The human brain changes over time. In the young, the brain can re-route things. In the old that does not happen. If we could figure out how and why the young brain can re-route things, we might be able to help older people with brain injuries or illness.
If people would stop expecting handouts and tried to better them selves maybe things would be different. In many places people are taught to expect the handouts. That is passed from one generation to the next. Until the handouts stop things will not change. After all if they aqre going to be paid to do nothing, why would the want to do anything but the things to get more handouts.
Well the actor governor was a RINO as they say. California has been voting blue for years. Well at least it has been shown to be blue in all the President voting that I have seen. It is usually the cities that make it vote Democratic. The rest of the state votes Republican but the greater number of votes (or more greater weighted votes) from the cities carry the state. In many states all you have to do is win these counties to carry the state. Even if you lose all the other counties. Even if the number of 'lost' counties is greater then the number of 'won' counties. Politics and voting are strange.
Apple releases an update that disables third party software, less than a month after their inability to put a dent into bd.Flashback.
They disabled Flash in Safari only. If they take drastic actions they are vilified, but if they don't do anything they are vilified as well. The new Flash updater on Windows will perform automatic & silent updates. They don't offer this as an option for OS X.
You are going to trust that the adobe updater will only update from adobe and the updater itself not be compromised at some point? If you do you trust adobe more then me. I set it to bug me when there is an update. Then I go to adobe directly and get it. More of a pain, but safer.
Well, when you are in a room of like thinking people and say something they like. Chances are very good that they will applaud you.
If someone was to get up front and give a well informed speech and slide show to say the climate of the Earth changes over time from hot to cold and back again. That is the nature of the thing. That person might have been tossed out of the place.
Once Putin got elected (the first time) I remember many Russian people in the US were very worried. They said that Putin was an old school USSR cold war type of person. If anyone thinks Putin has not been running the country even when he was not in the top position for a term is kidding themselves. This guy has been planning on making his country a world super power again. What better way to announce that they are back then to take out something that is from the USA. In the cold war times would this type of missile system been allowed in that location? Think USSR - USA cold war actions, that is how Putin will act.
Climate change has been going on for millions of years. Think about it. There were higher temperatures during the time of the dinosaurs. That predated humans and their SUVs by a lot of years. Was the Earth itself hotter then? Was the Sun putting out more heat then? What could it be? Were their other elements in the air that also made it hotter? Could the way the planet looked affected the temperature of the planet? Was their higher levels volcanism back then? The history of this planet has been swinging from hots time to cold times through much of it's history.
For much of human history the Earth has been relativity cool. It has been getting warmer. Does that mean in 5-10 years we will have the same temperature as 65 million years ago? Most likely not. Could we get there at some point? Nothing says that it couldn't happen. In the dinosaur time there was a lot of plant life. There had to be higher amounts of CO2 in the air back then too. If we release all the CO2 back into the air that was locked away in the dinosaur time it should change the climate according to the studies. Most of the studies leave out two other factors. The Earth itself is cooling over time. We have no idea if the Sun's output was the same back then as now. We do know the Sun does have changes in it's output. To totally blame humans for the temperature of this planet is wrong.
And it is color coded to boot. Blue for word, green for excel, red for power point (well power point is evil so red fits), and yellow/gold for outlook.
The person who said there is no file menu was correct with the 2007 versions. The 2010 versions have the file menu. Were there many people who liked the office button?
If I knew that video card 123abc had a record of failing I would avoid that video card in any product no matter who it was from. Then again I try to be an informed customer. Not everyone is. As others have stated, people go to the company they bought the item from when it fails.
Apple is a pain in the ass when it come to their stuff breaking. They have their own tools and tests that they run. For example: we have an iMac with bad memory. Memtest shows errors every time. We bring the under warrantee iMac to Apple to replace the memory. The Imac is fired up at teh Apple store. It fails to boot and only beeps. It is the memory beep according to the 4 Apple store people. A few more boot attempts, the iMac boots but has trouble booting from their USB drive. They take the Imac to run their memory tests on the iMac. A few days later they tell us the Imac is repaired. What was done? Nothing. They found nothing wrong. We take the Imac back. It has the same errors as before. Again, memtest shows errors. This time we just replace the memory ourselves. Now there is no issue. If Apple had used memtest they would have seen the errors. They have to use Apple approved tests. There are free tests for memory and other things that can be used. We can prove that the memory has bad sectors. According to Apple, that doesn't matter since their tests says otherwise. I did ask for a printout, screen shot, something of the test. They could not provide that. They also said that we could not run the test ourselves. When the other Imacs showed signs of the same problem (all bought at the same time). We ran memtest, again bad memory. We just replaced it rather then going to Apple. No need for the longer down time and the headache from the Apple repair people.
I thought the original idea behind patents was to stop the big guy from crushing the little guy by the little guy to bring something to market. Somewhere along the line this got changed to the big guy patenting everything they can to stop other guys (both big and small) from doing anything remotely similar.
Remember the Koran was written by one person during their lifetime. What is written in the Koran later on (towards the back) overrides what was written before it.
People point to the peaceful and fair parts on the Koran and say see, Islam is a religion of peace. The violent parts written later on override those peaceful parts. That is the problem.
Is there a cloud based company that will not take a peek at any of the information stored on it's servers? Does anyone really believe that? Most companies are looking for any advantage they can get. If they happen to 'see' something and patent it first it might be really hard for a small company or single person to prove that in court. Meanwhile said company could be raking in the cash on that idea/data.
I am in the US. I work with people who do a lot if research. Most of them like the cloud idea for storing their research information. They like it until they realize that the host of the cloud can read their data.
I live close to work. 5 miles is a nice quite commute. There are no charging stations at my condo. We got letters stating that running the charging cords from the condo to the cars violates the condo rules. Besides I didn't think using a 100 foot+ extension cord to charge your car is a safe idea. Work does not have charging stations either. We have asked, but were told no way at both the condo and work. So even though the plugin electric car would be ideal for me, it is not an option.
Or maybe just look at what the differences are between the Grand Marquis and the Lincoln Town Car. Cause the 94 Town Car (that we beat on, read drive hard as hell) got 28 MPG all the time. It was the LS model with the dual exhaust. We knew people who had single exhaust who got lower mileage. The best was we got better mileage then the Toyota Camry of that year. Too bad Ford didn't keep on improving those big car's mileage. Instead they went the SUV route.
No lan play probable also means no mods games either. I remember playing D2 with a mod and having all the act IV bosses right outside the starter town. When you hosted a game and people joined who didn't know were like: what the hell is Diablo doing here! And why is their 5 of him! There were fun mods to the game. It looks like those are not going to happen now.
To me, the difference between a religion and a cult is first the spelling. The second being acceptance. Once a certain number of people 'accept' a cult it changes to religion.
There are more than enough bad guys out there that CAN'T reach you, I'd rather have them pestering "safe targets" for a while rather than them going after the bigger fish, and getting killed or deported.
You have seen what many Muslim people do when they are upset/mad/in a bad mood, right?
You have not been to Tsunami's R US yet? That place is a blast! You can choose form 3 meter tsunami waves to a whopping 150 meter high wave! The package deals only give you three 150 meter waves while the 3 meter set comes with fifteen waves.

And to the average computer user disabling it or it being removed is the same thing. Their flash doesn't work. They only care about it working.

I don't know, reminding yourself not to buy any hookers might not be a bad idea.
You can buy hookers? I thought one just rented them for a while.
