Running on regular gets you 260hp; you need premium to get 274hp. The (naturally aspirated) V6 loses 4hp and 3lb/ft going from premium to regular.

More, sure but I don't know about considerably more. The price premium between regular and super has actually decreased here in So Cal; back in 2004 the delta from regular to super was $0.20 per gallon with regular at $1.60 gallon and super $1.79 (+10 cents per grade). Now it is $4.10 vs $4.30...

This one.

I think MaxBurn is referring to the Apple vs. Samsung verdict.

The retail notebook upgrade kits come with the spacer (and a handy USB/SATA dongle).

Supercar class performance, sure. But I wouldn't consider it a supercar. The McLaren F1 (or pretty much any McLaren) is a supercar. These are refurbished commodity cars. I'm not really a car snob; I'm just trying to point out that the baseline acceptable performance (for the US at least) has...

Not anymore. You can walk into Chevrolet or Ford dealers, pony up <$60000USD and drive off in a car that will do 12.1/11.7 1/4 mile times with OEM street tires. And they are decent everyday drivers as well (at least the Chevy is; haven't been in a GT500). Road & Track comparison here.

I had to switch to IE so the Akamai download manager would work, then had to restart DL manager before it would download. Completed in 10 minutes. Now trying to get a key - the key servers are timing out.

Anand has a note on another 27 display; the article comments are also informative (or at least interesting).

AFAICT: feberastors = generators with one-key displacement of left hand.

The egg has them for $299, but I won't buy non-retail drives from any online source (the only people I ever saw pack less-than-a-case HDDs correctly was Hypermicro [but they seem to have turned into a liquidator]).

Those drives must be cheaper somewhere else (unless you really want 5400 RPM drives); Fry's B&M and online has the 7200 RPM version for $249. Crap, missed the fine print: 1 per customer (or 8 trips through the checkout line...). Here's the ad, if anyone is interested.

:)

I'd argue that the generic case is true as well: You know you have too many X when you decide that one of them is going to be dedicated for Y in the bath*.

Ran into this on Twitter today: "And a big ironic what’s up to Quebec — founded by an explorer — is 404 today."

I'm confused as to the confusion. Line-interactive != on-line On-line always powers equipment via the inverter (hence the need for continuous cooling for it [and the rectifier]); the inverter input source is either the rectifier when AC is present or the battery when AC not present.

Installed the 830 today. Windows 7 Experience Index went from 5.9 to 7.5. Subjectively, I don't notice a difference, but I was happy with the last SSD (Kingston V100 64GB); it just got full - no HDD in this particular system.

Yes, separate disc along with handy USB/SATA dongle.

My notebook upgrade kit version came with a product key on the back of the Ghost CD envelope.

Ultrastar drives are $$$, but the Deskstar versions are $250-$300 at Fry's B&M stores.

You are accidentally brushing the touchpad. There is probably as switch or Fn key combo to turn it off; most also have an setting in the control panel to adjust "palm sensitivity".

The impact isn't due to lost work, just lost time; graceful shutdown doesn't matter if you don't make the bonus deadline.

Dunno about toaster style, but I've used similar devices to this in the past with some success. Might need to get IDE PCI card.

I-5 and I-15 (and probably others, but these I know) in sparsely populated areas used (still do?) to have hash marks on the shoulders every mile (and 1/2 and 1/4 mile in some areas) to provide timing points for air enforcement.

Always remember half the population has below average intelligence.

Fry's has some cheap stuff that might be helpful in visualizing lighting patterns, locations, etc.

I had a dodgy NIC report gigabit speeds to Windows when the physical link was 100...

Loads for me, but I don't have an account to check functionality.

My grandparents' (at least 3 year old) 42" 1080p Panasonic plasma went out; one phone call to Panasonic and a service man made a house call later that week. Opened it up, swapped out a board, closed it up and now it works as good as new. Total cost -0-. No extended warranty purchased either...

True for graphics, but I wonder if that holds for GPU computing applications. Haven't seen any comparison tests (but I haven't looked either).

Tingly if done right, deadly if not...

[Random idle musing] Microwave ovens operate at about 2.4GHz...and emit about 700W...Hmmm...[/]

Trader Joe's started in SoCal, but went nationwide-ish (not all states, AFAIK). I think that they got bought by some larger organization around 1980; I remember the store's vibe changed in the early '80s. Checked Wikipedia: Yup, sold in 1979.

The hardware changes are significantly worse for some CUDA programs (580 FP64 performance was 1/12FP32, while 680 is 1/24FP32). GIMPS' (Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search) CUDA programs are returning disappointing numbers as well. Anything that needs FP64 will be worse on a 680 than 580; some...

The howstuffworks article does not go deep enough; it implies that the all photons emitted are away from the substrate. That is not the case; about 1/2 the photons are converted back into heat. The wikipedia entry does a decent job showing the light cones.

JonnyGuru tested the bricks alone and in various combinations with the some Picos. The best performing brick was a FSP notebook adapter. At least 1 Pico comes with the P4 power cable; otherwise you are looking at Molex/ATX12V converters.

I kept the fan from my FOP-38 just for its hover ability.

JonnyGuru did a review of PicoPSU/power bricks a while back. Here it is.

I've listened to that probably 20 times in my life and still consistently mispronounce it. I blame the Peanuts character Linus.

CougTek vastly overestimates my skills. I don't even know the correct pronunciation of Linux. With that caveat, IIRC I'm running Ubuntu 10.4 LTS because I think I read about Python incompatibilities with 11.10. Also, I think that box has an earlier beta release on it. The F@H forums really are...

Yeah, unmonitored archiving is unwise. The current spate of problems is from people being too far ahead of the curve for their own good (couldn't see the questions to ask about long term stability); small offices that scanned old documents to PDF then stored them on thumb drives by...

Agreed that using SSD for archive is crazy, and that people are crazy and will do just that because they are represented as being sturdy. Data retention is going to be a big issue soon; colleagues are getting people whose ancient USB (64MB - 256MB) flash drives have gone poof and they stored...

PATA/IDE drive issues are not fun. I'm assuming you have the Asus P5Q SE motherboard referenced in post 19. That board uses a separate Marvell chip for PATA, so the Intel drivers won't help. The big red flag to me is the extended time it takes to recognize the IDE drive, so I'd start from the...

Edit time expired... Ok make that lower ADVERTISED TDP, as Time's Xbit link indicates that in normal use there is little difference in power draw. But, they do note that there is one advantage; when one is really concerned with keeping power draw under a certain limit, the T's will guarantee that.

There is something different, but hell it might just be Intel's drivers not enabling features. 1080p .mkv that wouldn't play smoothly (using Media Player Classic/CCCP) on Pentium work fine on my 2500T. I do need to admit that I never deeply investigated the cause, as the Pentium didn't stick...
