As a bicyclist myself I've got to ask: Where the hell is that guy locking up that bike? Baghdad?
Thats a bit overkill if he's just running into the store or stopping for a bite (which is the only time I ever chain up to a street sign or the like). Kinda defeats the purpose of having two spots to chain to when one guy runs two different locks through the whole thing. #gizmodoremainders
@tande04: I run a very tin cable through my front tire for longer events, but that thing is just overkill. Also the bikes are meant to be secured with one on each side, so this setup still works. #gizmodoremainders
@tande04: China. You can still get a bike stolen here in the time it takes to visit an ATM - even with it chained to a pole and a wheel lock. #gizmodoremainders
@Toastie: Yeah it still works, just not as well as it could have.
You can get two bikes on a sign too, one on each side, but then you end up fumbling around the other guy's stuff, getting stuff looped, and maybe tangled. None of its a big deal, it can just get to be a hassle. A hassle that could be avoided had jackass not locked his bike down like fort knox when he's just getting a pack of gum. #gizmodoremainders
Yay for the government. I prefer AMD over Intel because I can get great performance very cheaply, but I concede that Intel trounces AMD's processors. If I could I would build/buy an i7 rig but I don't have that kind of money. All that being said I have an iMac and a Macbook Pro both with Intel processors. #intelantitrust
Great, now chip prices go up again because Intel has to cover the costs of all the lawyers. Thank you government for screwing us over.... #intelantitrust
@szrimaging: And then people buy more AMD, AMD will get more money to research more and we get faster processors without Intels douchebaggery. Yay government! #intelantitrust
@Bluecold: The problem is, people are sheep to the marketing mainstream. As long as Intel is the "brand name" people will still buy them over the "untrustworthy value option". Not to mention, anyone who is a performance freak will work on getting the better chip, so AMD better hurry up and do a leap frog.
I, for one, am going Intel in the next build because AMD can't compete when building a high-end photo/video rig. #intelantitrust
@szrimaging: And what if you can get 2 Opteron's on a server board with loads of RAM for the same price as a single i7 setup? You'll get the Opterons because they combined are faster. #intelantitrust
Many people I know, myself included, have been delaying a hardware purchase until Win7 comes out. I have a feeling sales will be strong all through the holiday season. While most people have cut back on major purchases due to the econ, the need for new computer hardware is there and the WANT factor is pretty high too.

@TheNexxuvas: There are already tons of slasher deals on netbooks if you look around. There is even a free gateway netbook deal with Verizon right now with the purchase of a garbage RIM phone. #pc
Nice, so now I can get a cheap PC with a quad-core mega ultra processor with the elite haxxor wizardry circuit (Level 100) to FINALLY play a Hulu video full screen on the plasma. #pc
@valkilmerisawful: Yeah, unfortunately most still use flash because microsoft still has silverlight on a short leash. The real answer is HTML5 and SVG, but we all already know that. #pc
I'm in the market for a netbook. Dell Canada has a awesome deal ($329 Canadian for a Mini 10v - 1gb ram, N280 Atom, 160gb HDD). XP S3. Buy it now or wait for future deals? #pc
2012? What good will that do? Everyone knows that the world will be destroyed by the collective efforts of the LHC, Swine Flu (2.0), nuclear war, giant asteroids, melting ice caps, the robot uprising and armageddon in 2012. Clearly the next console should be released in 2011. #atinextgenxboxgraphics
