Re: What to do while waiting for the wiki
(Might also take a peek at the Wikipedia quiet PC entry. It could benefit from some more attention.) It has really come a long way in the past year, but there is one problem relating to it, there don't seem to be a lot of links on other entries that lead to it. And there seems to be a lot of pages ...

But still OS can't be 300$... And you have to buy computer with it... ... If Apple would sell their OS' separately, I would jump on gun with them... If apple sold their OS separately, it wouldn't perform as well, it wouldn't be as secure or glitch free, and maybe it would mean less funding for deve...

but I would not personally pay 200-600$ extra for a diesgn and a Apple logo on my computer, especially knowing I can't play much games with it. That's the price of the OS, the well regarded support, and all of that sort of crap. Microsoft isn't much less shy about charging it either, except that th...

First off I'll warrant that religion, specifically the Christian faith, has been the source of the current moral compass in Western society That's preposterous. Religion is not the source of any of the things it claims to be. Religion is all about taking credit. For anything it can. "You owe me for...

Still, in my university, almost all students in hard computer sciences are guys. When I studied Information Technology, there were quite a few ladies there (about 1/6). That's very reminiscent of how almost everyone in linguistics, 5/6 at the very least, is female. That's funny, while I was watchin...

But "god is real" is only thing that doesn't make sense. This add goes way above and beyond that: there is a god => you should take it for granted that it's our god => you should be comforted by the notion that there is a god that wants to torture you for eternity for not believing in him without an...

Re: Boys and their toys!
However just the other day I noticed that a lot of people pretty much frown upon me for wanting to acquire knowledge (?) or invest in such a masculine/testosterone driven hobby. Oh, I wouldn't say it's all that masculine a hobby. To illustrate in a sort of round about way, here's what I look like.....

And as to whether faith is a private matter or not, I don't really feel the need to take a stance on that. However, the world does not treat faith as a private matter. And the way the world fails to treat faith as a private matter, that is not a private matter. True, however religious nuts are no di...

Well then, if that's so, doesn't that mean that you should be scared of what panicking people will do because they see you as a threat? Sweeping truisms ab...

Umm, you'll have to look around at computer stores, preferably overclocking focused ones, but you won't be able to just find stuff that claims to be loud, that would just be senseless. You'll have to understand what exactly makes PCs quiter, and do the inverse. If you want a case that'll make it muc...

Wrong on both. First, there is a spiritual successor to I-RAM by another company, that has space for 8 DDR2 slots. Just recently reviewed by some popular tech site, but I can't remember the name of either the site or the product. I'm sure someone here can fill the gaps. The bottom line was that Int...

Well, it seems to me like there's promises of some revolutionary, tiny, fast, spacious, cost efficient, achillesheelless form of solid state storage r...

Then maybe we should let one of them disappear, if one of them goes under, the rest might get their act together. If nothing else, we could have them pull straws to determine which ones get help. Or we could just pick one. From what I'm hearing, if that were to happen, it would be chrysler that woul...

Ford US has been funded by Ford Europe for years, they make good cars over here, and Junk in the US, I cant comment much on GM. The best thing you could possibly do with such a bail-out of these companies is for the US government to buy a heap of shares licence designs from good car manufacturers a...

I haven't read this thread yet, sorry about that, but... I've been thinking, what if it it might be a good compromise to only bail them out a little, perhaps only bail out some of them? And I'd guess a way this could be done would be by giving them some kind of offer that only one of them might acce...
