You pay the tax because the purchase uses publicly owned resources to a. Get the product to you by means of air estate, roads, rivers that are maintained by the government. b. Maintain confidence in the economy and shipping protocols through safety inspections, regulation upholding. I...

The more vram, the better. Next year the newer cards will probably have ~8GB of vram, and game designers will be taking that into account. The "2GB of vram is enough" argument is silly. It's enough now, but it is absolutely short-sighted to believe that it will be enough down the road...

But did they really need to add a metro UI to Server 2012? The interface doesn't match the use cases at all.

Twitter is very valuable because of the celebrity backdrop. Advertisers sponsor celebrities who mention brands in their tweets, and are paid big dollars per tweet. Twitter is in essence an advertising vehicle and a social media website all rolled into 140 characters or less.

I think it might be closer to 20-25MHz of bandwidth given that analog tv is transmitted with 6MHz bandwidth.

I think the future will be through more software integration of daily appliances that we use daily. The future will be new wireless technologies that allow for more bandwidth to facilitate more advanced communication. The future will be screens on both sides of the phone. That's about it...

will i have to bust my balls typing paragraphs of commands into the terminal window on a pea-sized keyboard just to view my text messages?

Those unemployed wouldn't even touch McDonalds for $80 per day.

When I pay a subscription fee, I pay for all the television content that I receive. It is up to me, unless stated otherwise in a binding contract, to determine what parts of the received content I want to focus my attention on. That being said, I think its only fair that the ad skipping...

No, we already have too many of them. No need to create more competition in an area that is already swarmed. They should look at places where we actually NEED people, and train a generation of kids in school to fit that demand.

RIP.

What IBM notebooks?

Yes, I seem to have forgotten that HDD and SSD sizes have shrank over the past few years. Storage space is now more valuable than ever.

$14 baby!

She didn't only take the candy bar, she stole the ingredients, and gave them away for free to countless more without permission. That's why the fine is so expensive. Why do all these sudden law experts pop up, criticizing the system each time a thread like this is opened?

This thread needs the rule of: No questioning the legitimacy of this thread being in the distributed computing subforum. The 57% difficulty increase hurt a bit over last night, but at least the BTC remained strong against the USD.

Which is called a GPGPU, which is just a derivative of the basic concept of a CPU. I don't understand why you guys are arguing over terminology. The Cell is the central processing unit of the PS3. Who cares what else it can do? Just because its not like your fancy 2600ks doesn't mean it is...

TBH, I don't get the craze either. Unless you have an eyefinity set-up or are playing at or past 1440p, most any card would do for high settings on newer games. My 4850 does 1920x1200 for pretty much all new games, still to this day (with an i7 920). Just tried out dirt 3, maxed out with...

I'm also using bitcoin.cz, pretty much because it's the first link I got when I searched up pools and bitcoins. Using it right now and it seems fine, but than again, I don't know much else.

Memory doesn't affect my performance at all for my 5830, whether is 200 or 1200. I keep it at about 300.

I have the feeling you're mistaking bytes for bits.

Sure. It's here in Canada; http://canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=43_557_558&item_id=039137. About $10 cheaper than on newegg.ca. Was in stock earlier today. Guess the buying trend is heading up north as well.

Are 5830's @ $110 good?

Did you have to sign something when you found out about a store's return policy? No you didn't, so quit grinding yourself against the grain.

Of course. But one must look at it from all perspectives. Surely, by your statements, the ones accusing those of racism are also "pointing out all the wrongs of others", but deflecting self-criticism of their own contributions to society. You're seeing the perspective of the ones crying...

Sure. If you want to criticize the treatment of blacks in the past few centuries by whites, then why don't we also criticize lack of contribution to world economics, health, and technology by blacks over the past millenniums. Oh, wait, it doesn't work both ways, does it?

To be fair, the UN is regulated by all people to a certain extent of participating, democratic countries. Who we vote for has an affect on our representatives actions in the UN.

Restriction is a form of regulation. If you don't want me to use China as an example, that's perfectly fine mate. I'll tell you, then, that Cuba restricts access to internet to most residents. If that does not tickle your fancy, the internet is regulated all around the world to certain...

Good. Hopefully the average off the shelf PC will surge past $1000, otherwise the profit margins to be had are too low to be sustainable later on.

Do you have proof that torrent sites won't pop up one after another when one is shutdown? My required proof is already in the history books mate. I never said the internet as a whole can't be regulated. But feel free to include false claims if it makes your day.

Don't buy new cars. The secret is that you can get them for a fraction of the price 10 years from now.

Go on mate. Extremism is relative to the social conditions being lived in. Extremism today cannot be compared directly to extremism of the past.

You shouldn't buy snow shovels at this time. They're cheaper during clearance in July.

On one hand, people are overreacting over this. They won't be touching 99%+ of the content of the internet. They'll just target extremist group forums, threats, propaganda, child porn, and issues of extreme political concern. They can't touch torrent distributors because that would be a game of...

5 years is impossible. You mean 4 years, if that.

They have a history of meeting customer expectations in service and quality.

This technology is nothing new, actually. The immense heat can be transformed in electricity with a secondary system. It would take up a lot of space, making it ideal for ships.

No it doesn't.

I need a new paperweight about the size of them boards.

Its not impressive at all. Those are all prefab parts. And the worst part is that hotel is not designed to withstand another beyond moderate winds. In a similar region in China, a similar hotel was built. Then a gust of wind came and blew it down. Pics: Things built in China just aren't...
