    IBM invents new liquid transistor technology

    No, that's not what my argument is. First of all, we're not arguing about whether or not buying IBM is a good investment. You had claimed that IBM was a "slowly dying dinosaur" and a shadow of its former self. I responded that IBM is more profitable than it has ever been and has been...

    IBM invents new liquid transistor technology

    So you're arguing IBM has managed to artificially boost their income every single year for the past decade solely by cutting employees? And further, that the fact that income has been artificially boosted and will eventually come crashing down has gone unnoticed by millions of investors...

    IBM invents new liquid transistor technology

    Is everyone else in this thread looking at the same IBM I am looking at? IBM's net income in 2012 was $16.6 billion. Net income has increased every year since 2003. Efficiency way up, op margin has gone from 37.7% in 2003 to 49.1% in 2012. Last year Intel made $11 billion, down from the...

    If I could pay the China wage in US cities, poverty would disappear

    It's an interesting thing to think about, and you're actually correct in your points, but unfortunately you're not considering magnitude. First, yes, it is very reasonable to conclude that lowering the minimum wage or eliminating it would result in more employment. However, eliminating a...

    is it universally agreed that government is inefficient?

    It's not even a matter of whether or not the government, when given a task, accomplishes it more effectively (as in, using less resources to complete the task, taking less time). Government cannot exist without taxation. Taxing *any* good results in a less efficient outcome than with no...

    Website with information on transistor count/die size/etc for a ton of CPUs?

    Unless they've changed radically I don't think that's the site I'm thinking of...and it doesn't seem to have transistor/die size info?

    Website with information on transistor count/die size/etc for a ton of CPUs?

    I remember a website existing with a database of basically all CPUs from AMD/Intel from the 90s to modern day detailing die size/transistor count/all kinds of information about the architecture. I can't seem to find anything via Google search and I forget the name of the site....does anyone here...

    Windows 7 Upgrade Trick?

    I have Windows 7 installed right now, I upgraded from Vista when 7 came out. I'm going to do a reformat in a few days and I'm wondering if Windows 7 upgrade edition still allows you to do the trick that Vista upgrade edition allowed, where you do a clean install of the upgrade edition and then...

    Democrats eye juicy 401K's (Again)

    I agree about 2004, but would Kerry have done anything differently? The Democrats haven't shown (now that they have been given control) that they will do anything different in terms of foreign policy than Bush did. Obama has done little/nothing to end the war in Iraq that wasn't already being...

    Democrats eye juicy 401K's (Again)

    Very few people liked GWB as far as I know, they just liked the alternative even less. Just like with McCain or whoever runs Republican in 2012. I can almost guarantee I won't agree with them on a large number of issues, but it's better than Obama. People in this democracy will not vote...

    Same Sex marriage - my view point

    The bottom line is it is the federal gov's job to step in (as it did in the 50s/60s) when the rights of citizens are being jeapordized illegally by the state governments. State governments have no right to restrict marriage to one group of people and exclude another group of people from the...

    Poll: GT300 VS. HD5870

    I think GT300 will definitely be faster than the HD 5870, if it isn't then nVidia would be in big trouble. I don't know the exact numbers but the HD 5870 is only about 30-40% faster than the GTX 285 or sometimes even less. I highly doubt nVidia would be gunning for anything less than 50-60% or...

    ATi 5850/5870 review thread

    It's about $100 cheaper than the GTX 295, which is a good value, but it's not mindblowing in any sense. That's the issue, the 5870 is a good card, but it isn't really going to get anyone excited like RV770 or G80. It's the best card at its pricepoint, but it isn't better or even equal to more...

    ATi 5850/5870 review thread

    The performance is not really that impressive to me. It is nowhere near the speed of the GTX 295 in most games and it won't get close to a setup like GTX 280 SLI. In fact it is not that much faster than a GTX 285 in a number of games. The biggest tale here is how little the performance is...

    Why do we need the military if we have "the bomb"?

    Well you have a point but that is not completely true. We do not need a military nearly as big as what we now field nor do we need to spend $700 billion on the military every year. That is ridiculous. If it was me the military budget would be cut by about 80%. The bottom line is, we need enough...

    President Barack Obama to Make Historic Speech to America?s Students

    If kids are forced to listen to the speech, most of them will not give a damn and will just be happy to get out of regular learning for a few moments. The very small percentage that actually pay attention and care will be smart enough to evaluate what he is saying and make their own decisions...

    Rand Paul raising funds for KY senate race

    I think he wants to distance himself from modern Republicans and that is definitely a good thing. The modern Republican party isn't conservative about anything except social issues; modern Republicans are happy to authorize huge spending and rights abuses when it suits them, such as the Patriot...

    Today is Afghan election day.

    Explain to me how this war is important to me at home.... why I should pay thousands of dollars to fund a war thousands of miles away that has no positive effect, and why others should die because of this war? Rebuilding Afghanistan is none of our business.

    Today is Afghan election day.

    I have in mind getting the hell out of Afghanistan and Iraq and leaving the Middle East alone. Nobody is going to get Afghanistan to become a civilized country anytime soon. We've been there for 8 years and now it is just getting ridiculous. We were there initially to stomp out Al Qaeda because...

    Sawx-Yanks 4 game series.

    I'm a Yankees fan and I'm glad that we won last night but I feel bad for John Smoltz. It's sad when a once great pitcher gets clobbered like that. I don't know what the Red Sox are going to do for pitching though. Lester and Beckett are as good a 1-2 combo as anyone in the AL has but beyond that...

    GlobalFoundries Outlines 22 nm Roadmap

    Yeah it's the same way with TSMC as well. They always make their process roadmap sound great but in reality they are always reporting that their process is ready when the only things coming off the line are test chips. If you believed TSMC they had 45nm in 2007 and now we are looking at wide...

    So.... i'm the idiot here? If you honestly think that what you just said is true, then I don't know what to tell you. If you don't think obtaining someone's SSN and posting it on the internet for everyone to see, with clear intent for the SSN to be misused, is illegal, then you are beyond help.
