Using a USB hub is like distributing a garden hose to many nozzles. When you turn them all on, the spray from each one slows to a trickle.
In the case of of USB 3, the trickle would burst your USB 2 hoses, and fill several mass storage hoses. Wasn't that the point of USB 3? Or were all the USB fanboys lying?
This is why I am a PC. Not a Mac (paraphrased in the commercials)
When something goes obsolete I replace.
In 2013 I got my first SSD in my 2010 AMD phenom II. Then a dual SSD in raid. Then an i7 4770k. Then a another SSD raid. New video card and last a new workstation class computer.
With a mac it is soldered on. Throw away and buy anew.
Yeah, buying everything but the case, floppy (I bet you still have a floppy) and the big, inefficient power supply new makes for such a cheaper buy.
Agree.
I swapped my old Core 2 Duo E7200 (2.53) O/Ced to 3.8 with an OCZ Agility2 SSD for an i3 with a Kingston SSDnow 300 (*old* retired machine that was given to my dad). Altough the new machine boots way faster, and the new SSD is about twice as fast in benchmarks (even if low-end), I find it faster, but not *blew me out of my chair* faster.
Once you go from HDD to SSD, even the cheapest lowest performing SSD is gonna be much faster than anything with spinning platters.
True, that is simply "diminishing returns". Just going from a HDD to ANY SSD will make your computer incredibly faster, but then going to any faster SSD will not give the same benefits, because that one only will be faster on continuous access (like copying large files). Booting the OS or accessing small random files will not benefit much anymore. So going for a super expensive SSD will only be worth it if a.) you read/write lots of LARGE files (e.g. movie editing) or b.) need the long-term reliability of a SSD designed for multi-year writing of tons of data.
I bet you stuck to ATA for your hard drives, because you were used to floppys, and those ATA dries were soooo much faster, everything beyond was just diminishing returns.
Anyways don't let me get in the way of your quest to rewrite history. Remember to just keep repeating your lie enough, and it will become the truth.
If the "birth of the souther GOP" wasn't tied to “white racism.” - why the heck are there so many openly racist pigfuckers among them?
3. 90% are the posts seem to cite Skeptical Science in order to prove their point.
And you're assuming without evaluation that all skeptical science is wrong and all non-skeptical science is not. Are you totally dense? There is no non-skeptical science. All science must be skeptical. Because some IPCC stooges are not, we have the problem we have!
4. Skeptical Science is run by a Cartoonist.
Eh, cartoonists are mostly very sharp en perceptive. Able to see aspects of a situation and portray that which many other don't see right away. Also, if you have only ever read one "skeptical" scientist, no wonder you're in the dark!
I had to laugh so hard reading this. I'm not going to spoil it for you, Mr. Skeptic.
IBM knew exactly what Germany was doing with them. And it was against the law to sell to Germany. IBM mastered of skirting both the laws of the US and Germany, – to get tabulators into Germany and the profits out.
They didn't need to get tabulators into Germany - they were build there.
Which didn't happen. Hitler ran for President, and lost to von Hindenburg. The National Socialists managed to get about 40% of the Reichstag, not a majority but certainly a very important party. Hitler was then appointed to the office of Chancellor, and took over from there.
Actually, in the election after which he became Chancellor, the Nazis only had 33% of the votes.
Who cares?
Always amazing how many people post in a discussion they don't care about.
Most of the hardware in a Mac laptop is off-the-shelf stuff, developed by other companies. I haven't checked but I expect it is an Intel chipset.
If you are right, there shouldn't be a problem just installing Windows whatever on a Mac.
a surface pro is the better solution over the macbook air if one must stick with the microsoft camp IMO. light weight, compatible with everything, and in the same price range as the air. Add in the fact that it can be a tablet or a laptop
... means its a fucking compromise. http://daringfireball.net/2013/02/the_c_word
Well, I guess we can perhaps forgive the author of said article. From a buying point if few, a mainframe and a Hollerith machine are no difference.
But from an ethical point of view, there is a difference between tracking which Jews you have killed, and keeping track of running times or pulse rates.
No, unfortunately it's a fitness and evolution thing. The minute you bring grain bags to a starving remote village, the hunger goes away and then they immediately start having sex and cranking out more needy humans. You can see this in dependent villages, you'll notice frequency banding in the ages of the children, all conceived at roughly the same time coinciding with aid drops. Feeding the hungry sounds great, the hungry will multiply until you can't feed them all.
Yes, that's why in rich Western countries we have a massive population explosion because no one is starving. Oh, wait...
Sorry, I forgot, it only applies to poor brown people on different continents.
Didn't know Kosovanians were brown...
That's not a mugging. Without violence it's not mugging, it's just theft.
You don't "hand over" something to someone who snaps it from your hands.
My point being that if the guy has a knife/gun on you and tells you "give me that phone", he could just as well say "password?".
Or he could just take it, and commit a lesser crime that takes less time and thus has a lower chance to get caught.
It's rather worse if it gets stolen from your pocket.
What situation would make you hand over your phone but not your pass?
Snap and run?
You worry too much. With two factor authentication in place there's no chance the theif will be able to get the verification code!
So? That means he can't get your data "in the cloud" - but the phone is his to use
