    Post your Ryzen 3000 configs!

    How is it running with 4 sticks of memory? I have yet to have the time to open any boxes for my build, let alone actually put it together.

    Post your Ryzen 3000 configs!

    Went to Microcenter this afternoon. Apparently they zeroed out inventory of 3900x and 3700x to deter people from buying them all up in store. Home with it and a a320 board which will be home to the 1600. Now to put the Smunchkin and twins to bed.

    Post your Ryzen 3000 configs!

    Well, stuck with my R5 1600 for a little longer. Seller didn't ship or communicate for two weeks, and when I filed a complaint, I received refund. I should have figured as much. Even though seller had exemplary feed back, I'm guessing he saw that he could charge $750 for one, rather than...

    Elac Debut B4 Bookself Speakers $125 a pair

    The B4s are better speakers in terms of quality than the BS22s and I say this as one that has the BS22s. I might choose the BS22s if the price difference was as great as it was in that review. However, for $13 more, you are getting a superior speaker in the B4.

    Elac Debut B4 Bookself Speakers $125 a pair

    B & H I have the Debut B5's and really like them. The B4s are better than anything you will get at that price, and will definite punch above their class. They aren't the most efficient speakers, so I would NOT suggest driving them with a low powered Class D desktop amp, they need a little...

    NES Classic (2018) does not seem to have a preorder. Acquisition Suggestions?

    Amazon uk had them on pre order. No USB 5v adapter with the European version, but I don't need one. It won't arrive for 3 weeks. I also bought one through thinkgeek this morning.

    The Problem With Female Scientists In Labs

    Based on my observations of how my female coworkers are treated and stories and first hand observations of how my fiancee and her colleagues are treated, I would say these women are spot on. Most of you neck beards would wet your pants if even a mildly attractive STEM career woman asked you for...

    Men Who Post Selfies Show Psychopathic Tendencies

    I think you are going wayyy overboard. Posting a single selfie is hardly indicative of pschopathy and the study doesn't claim that. Its not as if this behavior didn't exist before social media, or doesn't exist outside of it.

    Men Who Post Selfies Show Psychopathic Tendencies

    Women who do this sort of thing are equally as capable of being anti-social and unhealthy. However, society's perspective on such behavior is different regarding women than it is regarding men. Women that do these things are equally capable of victimizing men. Women can and do use and abuse...

    Men Who Post Selfies Show Psychopathic Tendencies

    Obvious internet "know it all" neckbeards and MRAs are obvious. I almost thought my ex wrote this paper since its in her field of study. Then again, it would have been the (sad) irony of ironies if she did, since she pretty much married such a man (either never left him, or got back together...

    BASIC-256: Computer Programming for (Complete) Beginners

    I cut my programming teeth on Atari BASIC. I learned to program basic before I learned to ride a bike. Helps having a dad who headed an Atari users club. Good times. BASIC, Pascal and FORTRAN are the only languages I have learned. FORTRAN is still fairly important at work.

    Grad School Math: Which Degrees Are Worth the Debt

    Yeah, I don't think petroleum engineering grad students are worried too much about the bump in salary they'll get over just having a bachelor's. 2nd mistake when pursuing a graduate degree (well, any degree) in a STEM field: doing it for the money. My M.S. degree was worth about 10% over a...

    Was A U.S. Water Utility Hacked Last Week?

    Now Anonymous Threatens Iowa Caucuses?

    I did. Do you know how the caucuses work? Apparently not. How will occupying the presidential campaign headquarters in the state shut down the caucuses? The caucuses will be happening in every single voting precinct in the state. Do they plan on occupying all of them?

    Google Details Electricity Usage of Its Data Centers

    Where exactly do you find electric rates at 3 cents per kwh? Nuclear power production is on the order of 2 cents per kwh or less and is neck and neck or cheaper than coal. Coal is cheap, but the main reason that coal is so prevalent is that 1) initial capital costs are lower than a comparable...
