I wonder if the ribs on the blades are helping with that. Is that a common design?

I have Suddenlink (a Cox spin-off), and my speeds went from 10 Mbps to 15 Mbps at no charge. Now if they would only put some effort into their cable service, they wouldn't be the worst in existence. The box and guide look like they're from the late 90s and probably are.

Maybe I just missed something, but metal deposition by thermal evaporation has been used for decades. What exactly was the breakthrough?

There's not that much difference between an LED and a laser diode, so why not?

We also have the worst public education system in the country. It shows. They idiots in the state congress probably have absolutely no idea that there are things they cannot do.

I've been using my 64 since the FX-57 was king.

They could always give to the Church of Satan

Couldn't have put it better myself. Certain politicians with the help of certain media have fabricated this idea of an "educated elite," who just want to brainwash their children and steal their money. That distrust is why articles like this keep popping up. People want so badly to see...

It's about time.

From the article, it sounds like its used to analyze a network and pinpoint the person suspected of child pornography. It doesn't find child pornography on its own. "The directional antennae on the device scans a building or home for WiFi connections. Aircheck can tell if a network is open...

As ridiculous as it sounds, I don't see how Sweden can deny them if they meet all the requirements, and it appears as though they do. Religious exemption is a dumb concept anyway. Scientology got religious exemption, and they've hurt more people than fire sharing ever will.

Nope, this is sponsored by the same who wanted to outlaw feet washing and praying if you were a Muslim. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2011-02-23-tennessee-law-shariah_N.htm

Well damn... :(

Do I go to jail now?

Here's the full text of the law (HB 300): http://state.tn.us/sos/acts/107/pub/pc0362.pdf It was sponsored in the House by Rep. Charles Curtiss (D-Sparta, District 43) and in the Senate by Sen. Bill Ketron (R-Murfreesboro, District 13).

I don't think that's a fair comparison. I admit I don't know many specifics about how Hyperthreading works, but I know that a quad core, Hyperthreaded processor is still just a quad core processor. OTH, the cores in the Bulldozer module are distinct structures. An eight-core bulldozer will...

Why is it that when things get tough, science and education are the first targets?

I'm ready for BD so I can pick up a cheap, second hand Thuban.

Are there going to be non-Bulldozer AM3+ chips?

About the only thing AT&T's done right is 3g speeds. I'm happy enough with this.

You're right. We should bomb China.

You can't generalize across architectures like that. Atom is nothing like C2D.

I just did a very similar upgrade and am more than happy with it.

I like the second one, personally. It probably doesn't mean anything, but do those look like LGA processors on the front to anyone?

That's what I thought, but it's even simpler than that. http://www.easterngeek.com/2011/03/domo-kun-wobblybot-simple-self.html "The robot is essentially a simple pendulum, with the pivot at the wheel axle. The bottom part of the robot’s body is significantly heavier than the upper part of...

I can't wait for bulldozer, because that should mean cheap Thubans. :)

I haven't seen a post like this since the K8 days. Ah the memories...

This looks interesting. Keep up the good work!

Lucid is getting ready to release a software solution to do just that on the intel side. Who knows when or if it'll come to AMD. LINK

That's too bad. I had an nforce4 that ran rock solid oc'ed for years. I know they've refocused on gpus and mobile chipsets, but I'd love to see them come back to the desktop chipset world.

Couldn't Nvidia fill that gap? It wouldn't seem to far-fetched since they've done it before.

I promise this is the last time I bump this thread. I just want to report that although I'm disappointed about not begin able to unlock any cores, I am very satisfied with the performance of my now 3.8 GHz cpu. Even an 1.46V, it's running nice and cool at 38 C (full load) under an Arctic...

Mine did the same thing. No matter what settings I use, once I try to unlock the cores, no post. No big deal though. It still overclocks easy.

Is it normal for these to come out of the box at 1.43 V? That's what mine is running at without me touching it. But yeah I definitely plan to OC it later. At my current pace of upgrading, I'll be looking at whatever comes after dozer.

I tried upping the cpu voltage as much as 0.5V. As far as I can tell, setting UCC to "Enabled" is supposed to unlock the cores. Doing this keeps me from even getting back to the BIOS screen though.

That's exactly what I was worried about. Oh well, I honestly don't think I'd notice a huge performance difference anyway.

I got my new hardware and unfortunately I've had zero luck unlocking. I cant even get back into the BIOS with the "UCC" enabled.
