What peer reviewed publication(s) explains this distinction you are making? Not sure what you mean by "peer review". I believe he is referring to this meaning of "peer review": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer_review#Scholarly_Peer_Review It's the one where scientists write a report on their findi...

For giggles I would try the card without the shroud and strapping your own fan to the heat sink. I would also look at reapplying thermal grease. I think this is inherent in the aftermarket OEM cooler segment. I have an Asus 5770 CuCore that did the same thing - idles at 60c and ran up to 110c in Fur...

A friend suggested an alternative, learn Joomla, PHP, and some other stuff, grab small projects from Craigslist, and then bigger contracts. While some people would relish the idea of working at home there is also the higher isolation one faces under such conditions. Like anything else one has to de...

I got out of the technology sector in the last down turn for all of the reasons listed here. Even when it was strong in the late 90's through 2002 it was still a wildly swinging and unstable career field in which to get a raise or promotion meant moving to a different company. There are plenty of wa...

Not any politicians on either side of the aisle foresaw the problems that occurred... The claim that Obama chose health care reform before control of deep water drilling is ridiculous. If there was problem with MMS oversight, he could have fixed that without Congress. Please, stop making it so easy...

Probably because it takes longer than 17 months to fix 96 months of willful disregard and destruction of legal infrastructure and economy by the previous administration. Nope, the government regulations "could" be fixed almost immediately (assuming it was actually broken or anyone on the planet kne...

I think you are right. Why else wouldn't Obama have fixed those terrible MMS regulations and secret Cheney policies that have existed for the last 17 months that he has been US President (most of that time with a filibuster-proof Congress controlled by his own Democratic Party)? Probably because it...

The UN is having problems understanding why US drones are killing so many innocent civilians in its "precise" strikes.

I'm a little confused here... Is it that the US is concerned with wars for oil? The US is quickly becoming a global pariah because it repeatedly throws itself into situations where it doesn't belong and is generally unwanted, in the name of establishing flowing oil, stability in oil drilling nations...

But to truly win a war you have to take away the enemies will to resist - to do that you have to kill large numbers of civilians as in WW2 or bring them round to your way of thinking. That's why you can never win in Iraq or Afghanistan because the US government could not take the bad press that wou...

The easiest, fastest and most economical way to get $1m USD is to print it yourself. I would stick with $20 and lower denominations. The printed bill's value is intrinsic in it's visible appearance only since the USD is backed in faith only (that's the real reason it says "In God We Trust") since we...

Did you see the thread about the Antec Front Panel Audio issues? I vote for an errant ground between the power, reset or sleep switch. Particularly if you have the Power Button mode in the BIOS set to sleep, or if you have a sleep switch. That was caused by a ground loop, which is a well understood...

Clarkdale graphics under Linux is still maturing. Ubuntu requires 2.33 to work correctly, which is not an official kernel (2.32) in 10.04. There is a repo that has it, I've used it and it works pretty well though still a little glitchy with 3D accelerated video (Compiz). That said, I purchased a 577...
