Not sure why people think that two of the same model cards will behave the same. All it takes is one capacitor value to be 10% high on one unit and 10% low on the other for performance to be drastically different between them. Add to this the propensity for human error during assembly and engineering changes that may have taken place between the time you got your first and second cards and you've got a huge potential for performance/behavior variation.
This is a real concern for US design firms. The RMB strengthening against the dollar hurts us a lot as well. It's not uncommon to see China raise their prices on manufactured goods by about 20% in a year like this.
We will never know the world of computing that could have been. Goodbye Senor.
Not complaining just making an observation. The noise sort of turned to crap too unfortunately. Everyone left :( #whitenoise
Gizmodo is just the same as it was when I stopped reading:
- Shitty layout didn't get changed back
- Stories are still generally dry and dime a dozen
- Commentariate still complaining about "Gizmodo is turning into a pile of shit" #whitenoise
I am in China on business and have been into Shenzhen for two days since I've been here. One of my meetings took me into the district where they are holding the track events (the events are spread all across Shenzhen, which is comparable in size to an American county). I have yet to see a single military person. Some police, though, and a LOT of volunteer workers.
You and I will only work until we're 75 if we work for our money. His money works for him. It's lazy jealousy to dislike him for that. He's earned what he has. No one is stopping you from being the next him.

Your second point is completely wrong. The middle class is disappearing because of the disappearance of middle class jobs in the US. They also do not hold up the federal government, which was the gist of my previous post. Zuckerberg will pay millions (approaching billions) of dollars in taxes in his life. Most will never earn a million dollars in their lives. I know it's wonderfully liberalistic to paint him as the bad guy for this but if you don't call paying in more than you take out his "fair share," you're ignorant.
Even if his rate is lower, he will still pay more dollars into the system in one year than he could take from the system in 100 lifetimes. And you pay less than you take.

Such a tired, tired argument.
@Nitesh: Shit. I updated last night and haven't turned my other PC back on today...

Have fun taking 700 years to crack my randomly generated, 10-digit, 4-character-type master password, that I will change again next month, hackers.
Thermite grenades. Holy. Shit. I just found a new paperweight.
The basics man. Lots of thought about your past leadership experiences: how you succeeded, how you failed and what it taught you, how you manage people, how you tell people what to do without being a dick. That's where I'd start. #whitenoise
So pictures sometimes don't load for me, and then I am totally perplexed by what people are talking about. It feels like an inside joke that I'm outside of. #whitenoise
1 reason I kind of hate The Bravery:
- The lead singer sounds like Bono sometimes.

C'mon hive mind! How does Usenet PVR not make the list?! I cut the chord before armed with three of the above 5 (BitTorrent, Netflix, and Hulu), and lasted about 5 months before going back.

Then, a few months ago, you guys featured an article about Sickbeard and I began the pilgrimage to see if this could free me from $1200 a year of wallet raping at the hands of ATT.

I'm much MUCH happier with my two Apple TV's running XBMC and my little PVR services running on my Dell Zino than I ever was with crappy cable.
