Haha nice.. I just cleaned out my laptop 2 days ago, and I must say that I regret not having cleaned it sooner. My computer idles almost 10C cooler, while it's almost 20C cooler under load. Clean your computer!!
1) 7 billion is clearly not enough to service the broadband needs of all the rural areas in the U.S.
2) We need MOAR MONIEZ. I vote to contract SK Telecom (Korean telecommunications conglomerate) to help us figure this shit out. I know it's a very different geographic situation here, but they...
Aside from the sponsorship issue (lol@having test threats being tailored to individual browsers), what's the rate of false positives? I can create a browser that detects 100% of all and any threat by flagging every single site as malicious (about:home is a virus!).
But personally, I could...
Jamie Thomas or whatever probably got hit with the much larger fees since legal fees are calculated in there. Considering that her case went through couple of trials, I'd imagine that figure to be significantly more than this man's.
But of course, the obligatory "fuck the RIAA."
Gmail chat!! =)
I used to use Pidgin for my IMing needs, but I decided to get a head start on the imminent cloud bandwagon. I'm using gmail chat for the time being, but I could easily see meebo or buddy.im taking over soon (or Google wave!).
I do have to give a shout out to digsby, but my...
yessss. I love people like this. It's one of the reasons why I want to be a lawyer... too bad they'd probably reject my services... even if I offer to do it for free.
You know, I'd kind of have to agree with AMD on this one. Intel really screwed AMD over by buying several chip manufacturing plants that really limited AMD's ability to mass produce certain chips (I believe it was factories that produced 32nm chips). AMD was pretty much forced to stick with 45nm...
Why does this not comfort me? Microsoft has always neglected the compatibility issue of its newer formats with OOo. Why should I believe that they're changing now?
Honestly, I don't think AMD is THAT far behind Intel, when all things are said and done. I don't mean this in terms of sales, market share, revenues and such, but in terms of technologies and innovations. I'm sure AMD has a lot of things in the works that are not made public, solely for the...
Before, I've mentioned how increase in video game sales could possibly be explained by it's high ROI ($ per liesure time) and, because of the recession, people were flocking to video games.
There's a few possible explanations for this: no good titles were released, people are still "working" on...
To my understanding, Youtube (and high-value sites like Facebook) has yet to have a "profitable" year. Their valuations take into account their potential, which, given the large volume of visitors, far exceeds the immediate losses.
I'm sure they'll figure something out, though, to make this...
That's brilliant! Reminds me of Dexter... she could've committed all of those crimes, and then said that the DNA test was "contaminated" and thus they can't make a case against her.
Oh boy. This guy better be ready for the now inevitable onslaught of criticism from the Firefox devotees.
But does he realize that speed is not the sole criteria in judging a browser? I use Firefox over Chrome for one reason only: extensibility (okay, maybe 2 because I think google could grow...
Well, I doubt laid-off people are sitting at home and playing video games all day long. I'm sure that they are looking for a job and working hard.
What these analysts fail to realize is that video games is a GREAT investment on leisure, assuming that the amount of time occupied is the...

You know, I really need to stop reading these articles because I just become furious with how they simplify everything. Perhaps these people who buy games do know we're in a recession, and that playing video games on Friday nights is a much cheaper alternative to going out to a bar. I...
I heard about this during my morning commute, and I've been trying to get as much information as possible.
I'm very impressed with IBM's resolve considering the current economic status, and more so by their (continued) commitment to research that may not promise the most lucrative returns...
Oh and sorry for double post (don't know how to edit) but this guy deserves it. IBM did great, and they continue to do great things.
/me hopes that all this ass kissing will get him a job there =).
He deserves it.
I don't know why people hate CEOs so much. They do a lot. They don't just sip champagne and make the company billions of dollars.
This issue is different when they lose the company billions of dollars, and then pay themselves using my goddamn tax money.
Mmm, I rarely post on the comment section, but I thought this was a rather interesting segment that nobody else mentioned:
"Today's satellite-image technology means that...complete privacy does not exist," Google said in its response to the Borings' complaint.
It's really scary that such...
Only problem is that it's ridiculously hard to find this in stock... I had hell of a time getting this one, and I'm not looking forward to making the trip back there =\
Faulty GPU fan?
I just picked one up. The GPU fan (I think, the left side fan?) might be faulty. It makes this very slight clicking noise and works it's way up to sound like a vibration. The CPU fan (right side) is nice and silent. Any ideas?
Hi! So I'm looking into getting a cheap gaming rig... preferably for under $500 with everything included sans monitor. I don't have any old parts to reuse (except maybe a crappy case that I can steal from my cousin--Antec Sonata), and considering that I'm probably going to need an OS (I have an...
