you have to be honest and don't speak of europe when you boast with your incredible connection speeds in austria (wqhich is in the middle of europe btw) you can get a 16/1.5 MBit (restricted for personal use) DSL connection with 'real' speeds of maybe 8/1 MBit if you're lucky for around 20e/month everything else is much more expensive because of the initial costs and few providers for higher speed solutions like fiber

but this 66% is really outrageous

there are some helpful people - usually dressed in white - who will help you with a smile!

i always liked the AMD CPUs, mostly for almost equal computing power for less money but at the moment this is not really true anymore it seems when i look at the benchmarks (doesn't matter if desktop or server)

because of cyberbrain sclerosis, duh!

Skyrim

why not just store their genetic information in a big 'noah's ark' database let the extinction just happen, see if a creature was really needed for the ecosystem and if yes, revive it

mod+1 again please

i think he refered to this: http://it.slashdot.org/story/11/08/18/2338249/New-Research-Cracks-AES-Keys-3-5x-Faster, but i don't know why 251

well, the roi wasn't too bad actually - 50% after 9 weeks is a nice interest, where you don't have to do anything for it you could focus on the stuff you really like to do, and not boring trading (yes, i might be biased on this one) and if you got your money out in time, it was actually a nice thing

and how should this hardware magically run faster just because of a turbo button?

and you would loose the nifty feature of an emulator: temporary emulation speed boost (which is why i really like them)

that may well be - but steam (in contrast to other drm copy protections for games) gives you something in return too - have your games available from everywhere where you have internet access (which is the main reason i started using it) - buy games comfortably from home - some really nice deals from time to time (especially on holidays) and with the option to go into offline mode, you can play without an internet connection (allthough it is needed at some point to enter offline mode)

mod parent up please

maybe we should build a slashdot-effect-machine out of LEGO
