I'm writing in Cowboy Neal - I wonder if the Diebold Voting Machine will count it.

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Hebrews 13:5

In 1971 the US Dollar was pegged to gold at $35 per Oz Its ~$1700 today. I don't remember exactly when during the Nixon administraion the US decoupled the dollar from gold but I think it was after the election in 1972. At any rate an oz of gold would about buy a 4004 in 1971 and a ~3.5GHz 6-core Xeon today.

I'm pretty sure she's history as soon as AT&T have their way with her.

This must be the Sneaker-Net I've heard of ...http://slashdot.org/pollBooth.pl#

I'm illiterate you insensitive clod!
I read Cowboy Neal's aura...

I used to refer to them collectively as Borders and Noble - But Borders has been losing ground for a long time.
Your color nook will probably be obsolete by the time Barn & Noble auger in.

I believe that's Succulent Naturally Marinaded Pork

Better let me investigate those Objects Infinately Delectable; it might be a trap.

How could you hold a Widmer Hefeweizen, a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, an Old Rasputin Imperial Stout, and an Ayinger Fest Marzen in your hands and claim there were no differences (as far as most people could tell). Perhaps if you were blind and couldn't smell or taste.

Does that mean you'll be first on your block to "friend" Homeland Security?

In this case the DDR3 memory standard is just fine for Bulldozer and AMD just upped the HT speed between the CPU and the 800 series chip sets. Most of the platform change is happening inside the CPU or the 900 series chips.

I believe the article is not correct on this point - the old AM3 sockes have 1 less hole than the new AM3b sockets. The old AM3 chips fit the new socket just fine - they just don't have a pin in the new hole. The new Chips won't fit into the old AM3 sockets because they will have one pin with no hole to go into.

Its for people that are looking at buying now. Real soon now you will be able to buy AMD motherboards with AM3b sockets on them. These boards will run current AMD socket 3 CPU's. They promise there will be a BIOS patch so that these boards will run Bulldozer CPU's when they come out. That way they can sell equipment to fence sitters that might otherwise wait until June when Bulldozer comes out. This article does not imply that you can run Bulldozers on your current board (for 99.999% of you).

100 third world sweat shop laborers are probably cheaper than 3 good software engineers - they just run mining operations on several accounts at a time.

My basement is full of Hollerith cards you insensitive clods!!
