As a mod, is this the level of discourse you encourage? You've not only made a bald-faced assumption about my knowledge of and experience with futures markets, but you've once again asserted, an as of yet, unsupported opinion. I'm happy to have a discussion, but that's apparently unreciprocated.

Threads have their own stack, but (usually) share process heap. System memory is not divided across the number of execution threads (again, usually - I've worked on frameworks that operated otherwise). Processes however, that's another tale

A 10% tariff does not linearly equate to a 10% increase in materials cost. What happens is that it creates scarcity in supply as big consumers hedge by buying up future supply in bulk. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.marketwatch.com/amp/story/guid/7AED185B-FB83-4BD0-84E9-B27ABC4019A7 This...

http://www.caselabs-store.com/ Dropped in to configure a case for a Threadripper 2 build and caught this. Shame, I really liked how versatile their products were.

I'll be getting a Xeon E5 2697 v2 for development anyway but would definitely consider a 12-core unlocked, overclockable Ivy-E version at the same price. I have to imagine that market is slim though.

I picked up an Ergotron MX arm for my 27" NEC panel. It has all the necessary hardware to work with 30" monitors as well.

Another vote for the HP Elitebook line. Take a look at the 8740w - sounds like a perfect fit, and consider getting the dreamcolor display (it's worth it).

Seconding the 8540w. I've one on order right now and it has the absolute best LCD ever put into a laptop thus far (aside from the larger screen in the 8740w).

My PA271W just arrived this afternoon, and while it's beautiful and bright and fantastically uniform (though I haven't calibrated it yet - I ordered the SpectraView model, but my unit arrived without the calibration kit :( working at resolving this right now), the anti-glare coating is starting...

B&W 805S JL Audio Fathom F113 Sennheiser HD800s w/ Headroom Desktop Portable amp bdr529, awesome headphones :)

Did you mention that it has built in WiMAX support? Cause it does. And it can turn into an access point for up to 8 devices. And it can record video at 720p, and has HDMI out. Right there with you, this will be my next phone for sure.

Keep in mind that blu-ray burners are still in the $150-200 price range for something that will fit in a desktop. A dual-layer burner that'll fit in the minuscule form factor of the Z series? Yea, it's steep, but I'm not surprised that they're charging a premium for it.

Slower than usual tonight, but hey, I pay nothing for it.

I'm currently running windows 7 on an 80gb SSD (intel g2) and yes, there is absolutely a noticeable difference in speed & startup times going from a fast SATA to a SSD drive. As for whether 32gb will be enough, well, I've only a moderate number of applications installed and I'm already at 21gb...

160GB G2 drives are back in stock at Newegg for a somewhat more reasonable $629. Personally, I'll wait to pick up two of these at MSRP.

I'll also have to disagree with those that suggest that multi-monitor gaming is impractical / not beneficial. I too have a 50" pioneer kuro plasma that I do most my gaming on (audio via B&W 800 series setup + JL Audio Fathom 113 sub), and prior to a recent multi-monitor gaming experience (with...

I bought an 80GB G2 drive from newegg for a new 920 build a few days ago but had held off on purchasing the rest of the parts (including three more 160GB G2 drives since they were out of stock). I've been a customer of theirs for 8+ years now according to my purchase history, but I'll be...

I've been playing the Chinese OB on the Ascalon server with the English patch for the last week or so now. It really is a beautiful game - easily the best looking MMO out there and by a long shot. As for story and content...well, as far as I can tell, it's pretty light per NCSoft standard...

Seems like there's a lot of noise over a matter of semantics: the definition of stability. I've a simple, hard metric. I consider an overclock stable when the computational reliablity of the system is equivalent to that at default clockspeed. Under this metric, if at default speeds, IBT runs...

I had a 600W FSP Group PSU on the first 2 cards, and tested it out on the 500W Seasonic SL12 I have sitting around on the 3rd. Didn't make a difference. Yea I saw that post also, and sure enough those two chips were running *HOT* while gaming. When I received my second RMA (third card), I...

I've had 3 EVGA 7900 GT SC cards die on me in almost the same manner. The cards work great the first 2 days or so, but memory issues will eventually crop up, and I end up having to underclock the RAM by 100-150mhz to get things stable again. The Deep Freeze test on 3dmark 06 will almost...

The VF900 is a great heatsink for the 7900GT. I've had 2 eVGA cards now (first one was bad), and one of them idled at 51C and climbed to 67C under load while the other idled at 56C and went to 72C under load with the stock cooler. Replacing the stock cooler with the VF900 left the cards...

I'm trying to find more information on this case as well, but from all the pictures I've seen, it does appear that the placement of the powersupply will severely affect your CPU cooling options. If anyone knows more about the case, please do respond!

Assuming a viewing distance of 6+ feet, it is my opinion that you simply can't beat plasma displays at that screen size. I spent alot of time doing reading forums, viewing displays (everything from pricey runco plasmas and projectors to sharp lcds and samsung dlps) in person, etc before...
