Comment I dont think I have had probems (Score 1) 432

But I tossed some of that fuel system cleaner in my car, which is mostly ethanol, and it took out a pressure sensor to some part of the emissions system. It throws a code and when its actually acting up the car runs a little lean, and I have to reset the computer and do a drive cycle before going into emissions testing.

Id fix it, but you have to drop like half the ass of the car out, its expensive and the damn dealer wants like 800 bucks to do it, meh

Comment Chromebook disrupt the old WIntel model (Score -1, Offtopic) 44

if you mean spending more time rotting on the shelf before getting a discount to get it the hell out of the store

I mean its sad that you can buy a clearance i3 for less than a 2 year old chromebook and the wintel does much more than act as a shitty dedicated browser

I did it with the original decent and some i-glasses back in the late 90's (cause the precious oculus is not the first fairly inexpensive headset on the market), seemed like an awesome idea, lasted 5 min before it just became a pair of monitors with 3d glasses strapped to my face.

main problem with it was your head doesnt turn 360 degrees in 6 axis, so now your back to using traditional hand controls, other than 3d and having the outside world shut off, there's little point

Java programmers are the wost, I dont know how many times I have given up on a java program because instead of them making a program that works its you spending a lot of time recreating their development environment, or its just a constant string of bitch and nag messages

I benchmarked a 2.25 ghz amd barton vs a 2.5ghz i5 and the difference was much more than huge, it almost obliterated the barton off the scale

thats a 2004 cpu vs a 2011 cpu, raw speed is not anywhere close as a performance measurement

CPU Rating:
AMD A-XP 2.25GHZx1 517 (year 2005)
AMD Athlon II 2.5GHZx2 1342 (year 2009)
Intel i5 2.5GHZx2 1752 (year 2011)
