The only all-in-one motherboard I'm willing to consider is the ASRock C2550D4I Mini ITX Server Motherboard with a quad-core Intel Avoton processor and 12 SATA connectors. This is a favorite motherboard for FreeNAS file server builders. I just got a new case for my file server that can hold eight 3.5" drives and three 5.25" drives. At $269, it's bit out of my price range and doesn't include ECC memory.

Germany was spending far more on their military during that time than Britain was. If Britain and France had stepped in earlier, Germany would have been totally unprepared and the war would have ended quickly. Not to mention all of the horrors of the Holocaust that would have been prevented.

If Britain and France had managed to delay the war to "prepare" even more, say a few years, the Luftwaffe would have been dominated by jets, German ballistic missiles would have been longer range and more precise, and they might even have become a nuclear power. I really don't think this is the analogy you're looking for.

By now would be surprised if they don't have at least a couple Taepodong 2s that have at least a fair chance of a successful flight. They're not impressive as far as ICBMs go, but they are ICBMs.

If you wake up dead in the drunk tank, you're a zombie.

If I can't buy it, I'm not interested. My typical budget for a motherboard/CPU/RAM combo is under $200. AMD dominates this price range. Intel usually costs twice as much.

Unless, of course, you're drunk, forgot your keys and try to break into your own house. A guy who broke into the wrong house that he thought was his own by smashing the patio door got shot once after being repeatedly warned by the homeowner to leave. Nothing worse than waking up in the drunk tank with a bullet wound in the chest.

Propaganda campaign by who? I think Singer needs to check his haughtiness at the door:

the ability to steal gossipy emails from a not-so-great protected computer network is not the same thing as being able to carry out physical, 9/11-style attacks in 18,000 locations simultaneously. I can't believe I'm saying this. I can't believe I have to say this."

Except, of course, for the fact that the prime suspect is the hand-picked hacker squad of the Hollywood-obsessed leader of a nuclear armed state with ICBMs, whose family's Hollywood obsession has gone to such extremes in the past as kidnapping filmmakers and forcing at them at gunpoint to make movies for them. I can't believe I'm saying this. I can't believe I have to say this.

The lowest i3 TDP available at Newegg is 35W. Yes, we all know that Intel beats AMD in performance. Just not on price.

Well, at least Russians won't freeze to death this winter. They can use wheelbarrows full of rubles to insulate their homes. ;)

That's not all that different from how he got started with Tesla. He had no intention of starting a car company (he already had SpaceX), he just wanted AC Propulsion to build him a copy of their t-zero - but they had no interest, even for a small fortune. But then they pointed him to this guy named Martin Eberhard who had this wild idea to commercialize the t-zero's tech base on a Lotus Elise body and was looking for funding... and thus Tesla was born.

Sony is a modern Japanese company. Hari-kari isn't on the agenda.

Back in the late 1990's, I learned HTML and CSS using Notepad on Windows. These days I use Notepad++ (PC) or Text Wangler (Mac) for editing HTML code.

We learned how to play nice with the Russians, especially during hockey season.

After all these years, Microsoft hit the sweet spot for Windows and Office as mature products. Someone else commented to me today on how bad it was using MS Visual Studio and SQL Server on less than top of the line hardware.

AMD AM1 processors run at 25W TDP, which is less the Intel i3 processors. My current AMD AM3+ quad core processor runs at 95W TDP. I'm thinking about replacing the motherboard and getting an AMD eight-core processor that also runs at 95W TDP.
