Ok. Siri is sensitive ... but so am I. It gets in my way all of the time.

Then there is Troeg's. I used to live just a few miles from this place good beer & they are credited with the best beer commercial ever.

Guinness Draught, 4.3% alcohol by volume, purportedly high in B vitamins & antioxidants ... it is health food! And, obviously, references to related salacious contests are in order. Sharing with friends

He is ok. Interestingly he got appendicitis from the piece of appendix left over from a prior surgery 1 1/2 years ago. Antibiotics worked so surgery not needed. Anyway, I tried to get him to run sunspider while he was confined. Didn't, maybe in the next day or so we will get a comment about...

My son just got that for his birthday which was Sunday! Unfortunately he got appendicitis today before he could tell me much about it. This is true. He is in the hospital & everything is under control ... I hope.:( He is a 1000 miles away.

hahahaha ... so I have a Windows 7 phone with the latest, as of last week, major upgrade. I just tried via Bing the voice request, "I'm hungry in Southport" ... just "I'm hungry returned with the typical blase finds that had "I'm hungry ..." in the name ... for various restaurants all over the...

Bing now has music recognition I played NYC Girl on youtube into the phone ... it took ~10 secs to figure out what was playing. I thought this might be obscure enough not to be found. My daughter comes on at 3:43 :cool:

This is a major & significant update. Many voice enhanced commands via Bluetooth headset. It is a completely different phone now. The phone has a GPS receiver but still requires cell signal for map download/updates in contrast to a Garmin for instance. Therefore it uses data as I have only...

Mango update ... aka Windows 7 phone update aka Windows 7.5 aka Version 7.10. .. .. .. I got tired of waiting for the auto notification & decided to get it done NOW!. And as far as that process is concerned, it is all about timing ... so be patient & be prepared to kill some time. The full...

As a lady friend pointed out, the Kampyle of Eudoxus That's used in a lot of eductor designs to accelerate a fluid then allow it to expand producing a low pressure zone to educt a secondary fluid - often of much less density (i.e. gas) for mixture, etc. The shape is familiar - it looks...

Is this a technology introduced with Vista & still available in Windows 7 that could benefit from high speed USB 3.0 flash drives? Take this Mushkin with r/w of 120/70 MB/s in a USB 3 port, for instance. I didn't spend a lot of time looking. Just on 'egg & browsing USB flash drive thumbnails...

I do miss Hamms. Or at least the commercials as I never actually had one, but as a kid I remember my father laughing at them

Light beers are for people who just like to pee a lot

Beat me to that!

This makes be think about auctioning off 2 of my systems ... versus just throwing things away in 3 or 4 years.

Eeeeh .. I didn't say that. I used a utility that set everything automagically, at least those tweaks are the same on each machine. And, I am really liking the Adaptec controllers. but at $360 each causes one to hesitate quite a bit. At the moment, the box with dual Opteron 290s has the...

I don't question the standard, I am skeptical of the implementation. I cannot demonstrate it here adequately, but the memory controller is a limitation of Intel's multicore chips. The difference between the hexacore & the quad core chips I have is insignificant ... definitely not scaled. In...

@Optix .... nicely written review & I am still studying. I now have new hardware installed on 3 different machines with SSDs. I like that you did use CrystalDiskMark as it is simple to use & read. I also ran the other bench marks, but I have to admit that they required more commitment to testing...

Sure there are. Fill up some of the 7 PCIe 16x slots in a P6T7 with a few Tesla C2070s, fiber channel NIC, and an Adaptec RAID controller. But saturating PCIe 2 is not the point. GPGPUs as the Tesla are limited by the 16 lanes available. But, don't take it from me & my narrow point of view, I'm...

Thanks Kougar, in so many words it is possible to have 2 x16 & 1 x4 slots on the same board? The SSD firmwares are not the latest as I saw on the Corsair web site that the firmware upgrade is not compatible with Marvell controllers. Of course on these m/bs the SATA III controllers are...
