The waveguide has a very small cross-section. Wonder how they coupled fiber to the ports. End-fire coupling directly to a fiber would be horrendously inefficient, since minimizing coupling loss requires both a good spatial overlap of the mode profiles and a good match of the effective refractive indices in the two waveguides.

The only thing sagging are my 90 y/o grandmother's tits. We're working harder, longer and producing more per hour than any time in history (giggity)

It's taking them ages to admit that the vanilla 840 has the same problem. Just like the silent data corruption firmware problem with their 2TB Spinpoint F4, which they purported to have fixed (just like the 840 EVO). Now before you mark me as a troll / flamebait, know that I do like some of Samsung's storage products. I have a bunch of 1TB Spinpoint F1, 1TB Spinpoint F3 and 512GB 840 Pro drives, all performing brilliantly and reliably.

Do we really need another one of these?

Yo dawg, would you like a douche in yo douche?

Congratulations, your use case does not call for a desktop. Mine does. Show me a laptop that can overclock to 5GHz, take dual CPUs, have dual 300W GPUs, etc. Gaming isn't the only thing that desktops are good for ;)

Wrong. Correct choice is to vote for Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.

Forget the 840 EVO users, what about the plain old vanilla 840 TLC users? Jury's still out on the 850 EVO I suppose. Now their Pro line is great and is all I will use.

Might be possible. I CPU decode pretty danged near everything at the moment in order to take advantage of custom DShow filters in ffdshow.

Sadly, this is true for any successful organization.

"But the more an organization succeeds and prospers, the more it is likely to be diverted from its original ideals, principles and purposes ........ Every combination of two or more human beings has both a useful aspect and a political aspect. These tend to conflict with each other. As the political aspect becomes more and more influential, the organization ceases to be useful to its members and starts using them.

Why does this happen? Because the better an organization is at fulfilling its purpose, the more it attracts people who see the organization as an opportunity to advance themselves.

The ability to get ahead in an organization is simply another talent, like the ability to play chess, paint pictures, do coronary bypass operations or pick pockets. There are some people who are extraordinarily good at manipulating- organizations to serve their own ends."

And who exactly do you think does the physical design implementation and fabrication?

Been using this version forever (or at least since the horrible bloatware that was 3.x). Works fine, is lightweight, no complaints.

Isn't that what posting AC is for?

Bandgap engineering baby. It's magical stuff, eg. strained Si to increase mobility.
