    IBM Fired Me Because I’m Not a Millennial, Says Axed Cloud Sales Star

    Age is a protected class. If he can prove even half reasonably that he was fired because of his age he will win this suit.

    Feast your eyes upon a 4P-8160 and what it does to Cinebench R15.

    I legit started giggling when cinebench was running. Not even ashamed.

    Ok, on Amazon the i7 7700 (non K variant) sells for $299. The i7 7700k sells for $337. That's more. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=i7+7700&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Ai7+7700 And if you don't like retail prices, here are the original recommended customer...

    Gamers Red Hot with Fury over Intel Core i7-7700 Temperature Spikes

    Mine does it under Windows but not Linux. 7700k on a Gigabyte Z170X-Gaming 7. So...one anecdotal bit of finger pointing.

    Happy Birthday, Apple iPad!

    That's just you man. I'm in Starbucks on one right now writing this reply. There are three others in sight. Also I work for one of the largest healthcare companies in the country and they are all over our corporate headquarters. I have several friends who have them, none of whom are apple...

    Apple Recommends Antivirus Software For Macs

    http://gizmodo.com/5100996/false-alarm-apple-mac-os-x-anti+virus-recommendation-is-old Not that I am an apple fanboi (posting from a vista64 computer) but this was just an update to an old tech note. Apple has been recommending, and in some cases selling, AV software for years. Since long...

    New UMPC

    Wow ran on my 701 4g during the brief time I had windows on it. Everything on minimum, it did ok for chatting or checking the AH, but I wouldn't try to actually play on it. Not even just grinding.

    Drobo: Who has one here?

    I use one attached to my mac mini doing service as a media center. It's the house iTunes repo and has rips of all our dvds to play through front row on the hdtv its attached to. I love it.

    MSI Wind Full Review

    The whole voiding your warranty for adding ram thing is illegal in the US (IANL). ASUS tried that and had to quickly back pedal when someone pointed out that the Magnuson-Moss act expressly prohibited this. The same will happen to the MSI warranty provision.

    OK I did it, I purchased a macbook white last night.

    You're gonna love it. I got one this past weekend and I'm running xp and ubuntu on vmware. It works great! As it happens, netflix watching was the one windows thing I couldn't give up too. Crazy.

    Drobo: Thoughts?

    I have been using one for about 6 months as a media repository hooked up to my mac mini. It holds my itunes library and all my dvd rips. I also dump shows to it that get recorded and transcoded by my linux box. It works well for me, I don't need screaming speed, just redundancy that I don't have...

    Which brand makes the best laptop? Dell? Toshiba? Gateway? HP? Asus? Lenovo?

    By adding 40% to my salary and getting completely out of debt. ;) Now I can afford nicer things.

    Which brand makes the best laptop? Dell? Toshiba? Gateway? HP? Asus? Lenovo?

    I don't know what you guys have against Gateway. I have 3 of them that have been in constant service for 3 years and don't even have a scratch on them. One is my linux laptop, one is my fiance's linux laptop and one I gave to my little brother. They have excellent build quality, no flex, tight...

    asus eee

    2G surfs have soldered memory, 4g surfs do not. All models except the 8g have the ssd soldered to the mobo. The 8g uses a removable mini pcie ssd that fits in the bottom mini pcie slot in the ram bay.

    asus eee

    Absolutely. There are people doing just this. I'm not, but I do have a 17" widescreen monitor (westy), a usb keyboard and mouse, and an old 60 gig WD passport that I hook up to my 4g when I need to do something bigger. It has 3 usb ports, 2 of which are fully powered. I keep a hub with all the...

    Laptop suggestion for a graphics design student

    Cooler Master Cosmos 1000

    I love this case. Mine doesn't run hot at all and it is very quiet. It also has metric assloads of room inside.

    Gaming on Ubuntu

    I play WoW with wine on ubuntu 64 bit. Works fine. WoW is the only game I play and I just can't see maintaining a whole OS install for just one game.

    Stores Usher in Holiday Shopping Season

    I got the only thing I was really looking for, a 24" lcd monitor. I picked up the Soyo 24 from OfficeMax. Got the last one in the store. I'm really happy, a 24" monitor for $249 and no rebate. Sweet. :)

    Can someone explain this to me

    Not entirely accurate. We're running linux on power 6, RHEL. Both RHEL and SUSE work fine, IBM has worked with both companies and the open source community to ensure that linux works well on power.

    Dual or Quad Core for Virtualization? (VMs)

    Another vote for quads here. I have a q6600 with 4 gigs of ram as my main machine. I run 64 bit linux as the host os and have no problems running multiple vm's at a time.

    Is Cosmos reallyh that bad?

    I have a cosmos and I really like it. There are some potential problems with airflow in the hdd area, but I only have one drive mounted there so far so I haven't hit them. It looks pretty easy to alleviate with an extra fan anyway. The case looks good, has tons of space inside and is super easy...

    30 Days with Mac OS X @ [H]

    I agree that the description of installing X was painfull, somewhat comical, and totally unnecessary. Apple includes a nice install file for X11.app on the developer tools cd/dvd that comes with every mac, you can also download it from their OSX site. It even has a default theme that makes X...

    Laptop with old fashioned keyboard?

    As far as I am aware there is no laptop which uses a buckling spring keyboard. The buckling spring mechanism (clacky keys and GREAT tactile feel) is way too thick to make it into a laptop. If one existed I'd buy it.

    3 questions about a Pentium M processor

    My pentium m 745 goes up and down in increments of 200mhz from 600mhz to 1.8ghz, so I think speedstep is quite a bit more fine grained than mentioned earlier.

    MacBooks Out

    I went over to the apple store after work to look at them and I have to say that the black one is very sexy. It reminds me a bit of a streamlined wallstreet which is, in my opinion, the best looking laptop design apple has ever produced. The case does show fingerprints a bit, but not as bad as...

    Which linux to install on Thinkpad? Fedora Core 4?

    K3b will still work. Just sudo apt-get install k3b to install it on Ubuntu, or use Kubuntu instead, it's Ubuntu with the kde desktop installed by default instead of gnome. That's what I use on my laptop :)
