    It’s Mathematically Impossible to Beat Aging, Scientists Say

    Fresh copies are good, or many many copies to identify errors would work. Think of it as 50 million copies of the same book that we hand out to people and they can each make a thousand changes from words, sentences to chapters. The original copy of the book is easiest to get the truth, but from...

    It’s Mathematically Impossible to Beat Aging, Scientists Say

    Agreed! The thing with their claims are that they're looking at the issue myopically. Yes there is an inherent link between ageing and cancer and we're not arguing that. We're also not arguing if you bluntly change the lifespan of a cell (e.g. telomere operation) you open yourself up to cancer...

    4790k going to give me anything over my OC'ed 3770k?

    I run my 3770K @ 4.8Ghz and run a SLI setup with 780ti cards so had the same question. From the research I've done you won't really benefit enough to make the change - overclocking the graphics cards will do 10x more than changing your CPU to a 4790K. Instead the recommendation was upgrading...

    Juniper CEO Resigns After Board Review Into Conduct

    Conduct in negotiating with a customer. Hmm for it to be the removal of a CEO it can't just be language or even mild sexual misconduct (like being drunk and inappropriate with a client). It's negotiating meaning a trade circumstance, and something so significant that there's no support at the...

    Why Facebook Is Requiring Messenger For Chat

    Ensures viability of messaging platform regardless of engagement with Facebook. Also allows better focus for each app from a UI and development standpoint (especially for introduction of voice and video).

    30" Korean

    I bought a 30" Crossover and have 2x 30" Dell (3014 and an older one - maybe 3008?). The crossover feels better than the 3008 or whatever I have, but not quite as good as the 3014. It could be that the older Dell is just that - old and used more. I haven't gamed on the Crossover, but am...

    The one on the left is the new dell 30" (3008?) and the one on the right is a 3007 WFP. I had twin 3007WFPs, one broke out of warranty and they "repaired" it by sending me a new screen for $200 or so!

    Dell 3007

    Use hardware calibration, it'll at least give you balance. I have a couple of 3007-HCs, you get used to it... so much so going to different LCDs seem dull :)

    Win7 stuck at shutdown screen

    Sound drivers and control panels often slow the shutdown, had it with m-audio and x-fi processes not playing nice. See if you can at least localise the delay to being soundcard related.

    Intel X25-E: 2x 32GB in RAID 0 or single 64gb?

    I ran a couple of 32GB X25-Es in raid 0, it was insane. I was copy-pasting big files and transferring on the same logical drive at 150-230MB/sec from memory (using onboard crappy raid solution on my Gigabyte P965-DS3P). I'd personally go raid, the latency is so low you're better with combined...

    Oh my god...

    I have 2x 3007-HC screens and run 5120x1600. You do get used to a single screen, but I do find the second screen a strain. I have icons on the far side of one screen and there's no way anybody could read the icon text as it is just tiny from a distance. Pron is amazing though :O

    To MBP or not to MBP?

    Those 85C-100C temps won't be accurate, intel chips throttle before then and can shut themselves down. That's beyound the tmax allowed, so it'll most likely be a reading that is like 35-45C too high.

    Why doesnt microsoft make a windows made for gaming?

    Building an OS for gaming is like removing locks on a car to make it go faster. Given the power of computers, OS efficiencies in managing resources and changing technology you should look more to game developers and hardware companies for optimizations. See Crysis for an example.

    Decent sound card suggestion (for audio production)

    Delta 1010s are good, I had an Audiophile 24/96 though and enjoyed it. Actually got a x-fi (with breakout box) and ended up using it the whole time. They sounded better than the 24/96 on my Genelecs. I also used an echo indigo io on my laptop, x-fi is on par with that sound quality wise. I...

    New speakers!

    I got into audio engineering many years ago and think you're looking at the wrong stuff. I've been through the whole Creative, Altec Lansing, Logitech, Klipsch range of things before realising that many of these products are for a niche purpose of sound reproduction. Why not hit up a niche...

    About to pull the trigger on a 3007WFP-HC... Anything I should know?

    One thing nobody ever mentions with them is the heat. I run two of them side by side and in the summer I can only bear running one. I even change the desktop background to be darker. They crank out the heat!

    Dell 30 inch or Dual 24's?

    I have had dual 2405FP screens, a single 30" and dual 30" screens. I'd take a single 30" over two 24" screens.
