I'm curious how long it will be before these optimizations are found in the compilers themselves.

So they off-shored from India to America?

A large portion of consumers have repeatedly stated the Chromebook is exactly what they want. It's cheap, handles basic computing needs (word processes, etc), handles online streaming, and is nearly virus proof with little to no learning curve. There is also no slow degrade of speed over time as your not installing any software. For a lot of non-techies, it's a dream come true.

Looking forward to getting a few more bucks saved up to get my wife another as she's used her old Chromebook into the ground (the monitor is literally held on with tape as it was a beta product and she's a rough user).

You may not agree, but I find it hard to believe you formed your opinion on the realities of what the common computer user wants.

Even with translation, all the stories are nonsense and un-entertaining.

I normally check back on this site throughout the day, but this will be my last post until tomorrow.

Destroying your product for a day is just a bad business decision Slashdot.

Was gonna spend my mod point down rating, but I decided to comment instead....

That's how you win an argument, you insult the other person if they don't agree with you.

*home*

Waiting to see an apartment full of geeks and gamers rocking 10 cable modems all linked together and splitting the bill.

All you need is competing noise. Get a large fan and turn it up, most of the outside noises will be drowned out.

Also, a website like http://rainfor.me/ helps me a lot when I find myself wandering off into my thoughts.

If you listen to music and the voices are too distracting, just listen to good movie scores, classical soundtracks, or something orchestra based like http://open.spotify.com/user/1225153336/playlist/174h1jI74KgCR30U60E5Wt or http://open.spotify.com/user/1225153336/playlist/0zfVN0HOmVKz5CVDNWigXg. I find when I'm programming or studying, having complete silence is great. When I can't achieve that, then I need background white noise and voiceless music.

Just some thoughts based on what I've learned since attending College.

Curious why he was down-rated, perceived sarcasm?

Nope, just an idiot.

Tchernobul and Fukushima have not been decommissioned?

Exactly what I do, also it's nice to sit your laptop on a cooling pad like http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005C31HC0/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc= if you do not use a dock.

How about instead of people, we send a few robots and some self-contained factories with which to build more. Once things are up and running, we can start constructing a base via remote control.

Oh crap...

This is 300 iterations more advanced than our F13s!

If we don't catch up and start pumping out F500s or heaven forbid, at least F400s... liberty and democracy will end as we know it!

There are lots of re-sellers who provide you with the same networks but don't require crap like this. http://www.pagepluscellular.com/ is what my wife uses.

I've deactivated my phone completely and use it with google voice / voip on wifi for free. http://sipdroid.org/
