And what, exactly, has that environment produced? Where is the Indian competition to Intel, AMD or NVIDIA? Where is the Indian OS that can compete with Windows, Linux or BSD? At the very least, where's a more advanced GUI that builds on the metephore along the lines of failed...

When the manufacturer slaps a "contact us" instead of a "buy me" link you can be assured that it's been EOL'd. Mushkin makes damn good RAM, albeit with oddball timing. They're knock has always been than they EOL a given SKU too damn quickly and that's going to be a problem for anyone who...

Looks like it's discontinued: http://www.mushkin.com/Memory/Ridgeback/998826.aspx Newegg - out of stock, deactivated, may not be restocked: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226123 Amazon - $102.99 (1 left)...

Personally, I trust the US & NATO a hell of a lot more than anything you have to say. The reality is that of those 800 worldwide "installations," there are only 5 countries with US military personnel in excess of 10,000: Germany, Japan, Korea, Iraq and Afghanistan. There are a whopping 7...

My wife and kids are all Macbook Pro users. It's all about form over function with those things. The keyboard is a miserable joke. Aside from having shallow key travel, which makes it abysmal for extended typing, there's an incredibly idiotic layout; you get quarter height ESC, Fn and...

Maybe it's because it's time isn't "done," yet... Russia, the "old" Soviet Union has, by several estimates, more nuclear warheads in service today than the U.S. has. Worse when you take chemical and biological WMD's into account. IMHO, as much as I dislike the policies coming out of...

WalMart is the epitome of what's wrong with American capitalism. They've single-handedly destroyed not only companies but entire industries. The combined effects of higher costs in raw material input, off-shore manufacturing and finished goods transportation should put a severe crimping, if...

They're only "sticking" it to the same people who've already been paying ATM charges -- idiots who use a "foreign" ATM. If you're a BoA customer and use a Chase ATM you deserve what you get. Bullshit. Every OTA channel is still there in digital, unencrypted HD, form. Bullshit, again...

Castle Bravo was kid's stuff compared to the Tsar Bomb, which was 4 times more powerful and the largest ever.

The first and last word in business laptops: Thinkpad. You get what you pay for...

"a single atom of plutonium Cesium?" Too bad your dad didn't tell you about another Russian invention, the Periodic Table...

No mention of what type and how many hard discs you're using. The thing you have to consider with them, assuming you're not using SSDs, is the current spike that occurs when you first switch the system on. Idle motors in discs and fans will draw a lot of current while they're spinning up...

Your viewpoint was valid about 15 years ago but, not today. Modern systems are much more dynamic when it comes to power consumption. That being the case you're better off sizing your power supply so that you're on the left shoulder of the curve when the system is idle. That way, your peak...

BFD(tm) Any algorithm that uses exponential smoothing has the same issue with differences due to the start of the data series. The core take away is that the length of the RSI does not impose any power/insight/whatever. Longer lengths attenuate the resulting output to a greater degree.

The crap coming out of Japan in the 70's was crap. Then there was the crap during the 80's about how Japan was going to destroy the US economy. In the end, all of it was nothing but a load of crap...

Unfortunately, Landis is dead-on, a lot of people don't "get" power supplies and I'd bet that applies to the "consultant" you spoke with. Worse when it comes to CPUs... Believe it or not, but an i7-980x CPU only consumes 15w more than an archaic P4 Prescott core; 130w compared to 115w...

I suggest you take a look at the efficiency and acoustic noise graphs in this link then reconsider your viewpoint on ideal P/S efficiency... http://www.anandtech.com/print/2624

Considering how the "notorious" Canadian stock exchanges operate I'd say that the Canadian banking system isn't necessarily good, rather, it's less bad than other banking systems around the world. Everything's relative...

Those that have a backbone quit/run away, those that don't, don't.

No, the LED refers to the backlighting method, not the pixel, which are stiill LCD. The advantage is that the backlighting is even in an LED and not subject to the degradation that occurs in the previous generation cold-cathode backlit displays. As for next generation, OLEDs are supposed...
