Yup, that's why I specifically mentioned the diminishing returns thing and included a SAN comment the post you quoted because that's a business thing-y. Personally, I'd rather see a tech bill for one hour of reimage than six hours of research to find a solution that avoids reimage. And a good...

I kinda covered that already in this other post: http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1042064954&postcount=13 But yeah, the short version is I agree that we dunno enough about the who and how of the survey to just be all like, "Well yes, that's totally right!"

Suuuuure you don't! :D

There's really nothing wrong with being lazy when it comes to a computer. It's just some silly gadget that's supposed to save people time so taking whatever shortcuts work for the individual at the keyboard really gets to the heart of why computers even exist in the first place. Like, for me...

LOL, I guess not. It's just displaying image files isn't it so that really doesn't take much computer power. Though I have read the occasional post from guys here who point out they need a lot of storage space for their "work" folder.

A sample size of ~1,000 is pretty reasonable for a nation-wide survey. Like with a knee jerk from my college statistics courses (which I'm already starting to brain dump) that's probably like a 95% confidence interval. That's usually the target percentage for most surveys. As long as the...

When I'm playing a game, I'll play one that works well with the hardware that I have available. I'm not really seeking any particular sort of graphics quality since I don't think graphics really are what makes a game interesting. There's a lot more that matters waaay before what something...

Nope, VR is not worth upgrading. I'd MUCH rather just the latest super cool running Bay/Cherry Trail CPUs with their integrated graphics than ever touch anything that needs even a low end dedicated graphics card. It's so much nicer to have something that doesn't require a cooling fan or air...

I took Microsoft's advice on that whole giving up Windows 7 thing over this past week without really knowing the marketing chief was gonna give it. My Win7 desktop was donated and my Win7 netbook I was hanging onto for work from home VPN stuff decided to stop working. If it were an animated...

Someone's not familiar with a sample size.

Yup, this is the kinda stuff that happens in a dramatic, crazy-cakes movie world. Put the remote down and think a little and it'll be obvious how not realistic it is off a television show though. :)

Well, if it weren't for people like evilsofa, I might consider it a good idea, but the world we live in has evilsofas in it and because of that, it's a terrible idea! I dunno what they're thinking!

A car is an appliance and getting emo about it like you are when someone points out facts is like getting emo about a curling iron or a microwave. But besides that, the price bracket they're in is like for middle class people to go take out a loan from a bank drive around and working class bums...

I know its upsetting. You should totally show your anger by being upset with other people who get unreasonably emotional about meaningless computer junk over here: http://www.mac-forums.com/ It's cool because computers have a lot of empathy for how you feel and they know you're here to...

Whatever. It's another fire that smart people will acknowledge is happening regularly and elmo monk lovers will pretend isn't a big deal and nothing is wrong because they get all spoogy and happy over their favorite "visionary" guy. Of course, they won't notice that the stupid car has HOLES in...
