Check on some German hardware websites, you can get stuff shipped within EU countries easily and your warranty still applies. You also don't pay import duty on goods between EU countries.
AMD drivers have been fine for years, I don't know where this rumour comes from or why it refuses to die.
Note before the fanbois get involved, I've got a 1060 card at present, my previous card was AMD, there are the same number of issues on both manufacturers.
Yeah, the RAC database is 3.5TB in size at present and that's after moving Audit stuff elsewhere, fairly certain it's not a 10 minute job, then you have logical standbys and data guard.
I don't mind reading fairy stories though, they are entertaining.
I can setup a SQL Cluster with High Availability on Windows in a day.
Oracle RAC takes at least 2.
There is no one size fits all.
There was a company that attempted to take their infrastructure from Windows AD to Linux and Open Source about 5 years ago, after 2 years they reverted back.
For...
Sorry, been away on holiday.
You'd think that until you realise that my computer apprenticeship was on Unisys, VAX and Tandem Mainframes and at that time it was Windows 3.1
:-D
If you are having trouble with Windows then I would say that in a commercial environment that you would be completely lost on Linux.
For info I was an MCSE last millennium!
These days I'm a SQL and Oracle DBA running on Windows, Linux and Solaris, I have to keep books around me for the Linux...
Whilst it would be nice to get all "Holier than thou" here I'm in a position whereby the only 2 brands that fit my feet properly for sports are Nike and Asics.
Asics also don't sell one of those sports in the UK.
I'll just wait until they are on sale......
I'm waiting for him to appear on the BranchScope thread showing the same kind of reasoning but I'm sure that he won't.
I have no problem with the fact that he hates AMD, seems a little strange unless he's being paid or there was a personal trauma involving them in the past but everyone is...
Those people have links into systems that you have not even heard about.
If it as serious as you say then I am certain that one of them will be consulting with various arms of the UK government about implications and more importantly can it be reverse engineered to be used against foreign...
He's on here

Henry Becker knows his stuff as well.
Tell you what, If anyone on that page comes out saying it's legitimate then I'll believe it.
Ha, having a strop?
Did you notice that I said that I used to be a Computer Security for a bank?
This means that I'm now not - I'm a Senior DBA on Oracle and SQL Server these days, after upgrading the encryption that ATM traffic runs on and watching my boss and his boss get promotions for it...
Interesting how Juanrga misconstrues words, I never acknowledged that the person he quoted was a security expert, I said that he used a plural term and only quoted 1.
I really don't understand what he is trying to achieve with the constant "Intel are the dogs bollocks, AMD are shit" rhetoric...
Scenario A - Any company that fires an Admin and doesn't immediately march him off the grounds, disable his account and change all Service Account passwords deserves everything it gets.
Scenario B - Any company that did this would be sued in court immediately.
Are either possible? Yes
The...
This.
Although the question that I have asked these people that never seems to get answered is why there is this huge conspiracy regarding the shape of the earth? Who does it benefit?
The tinfoil sales really jump after that.
Shitlary? Really? What are you? 3 years old?
Is this what passes for debate these days?
I've never understood tribalism, one side does not have all the right answers and the other side all the wrong answers, suggest you look at object vs subjective thinking
Guys, don't engage with Shintai when it comes to AMD, he has an almost pathological hatred of the company and cannot accept that they do anything right.
I'd love to know why this is.
I decided to get a friend of mine to email a friend of his about flying without a pilot.
This person's answer was "Not a chance of getting me in the plane".
You may of heard of him - his name is Charles Yeager, obviously he knows less about flying than you do.
Can these people in the thread passing off supposed facts please tell me what they do for a living?
Reason I ask is that I wouldn't take any supposed facts to do with automated vechiles from someone working on banking software, etc.
Thanks
Having done 3 discs in my back a couple of years ago I went looking around looking at chairs (I work from home).
I eventually bought a Noble Chair from overclockers.co.uk, I think it's great and would be worth you reviewing.
Tinfoil hat alert - I signed up just to say this.
You change tune at every available juncture.
For those of us with mortgages we have to buy something that will do an all round job for the best value for money, well that and the fact that I'm looking at buying the new Fireblade SP1 as well and...
