News Report claims that Intel will build Core i3s at TSMC

46, then I sold, and then after dumping most of that in MSFT, jumped back into Intel at 52, since I think Intel will come back in a year or two and get into $60 territory again.

I can Hear my wireless router

Well, seeing that the post was from 2003, that was like 15 routers ago :) ... There seriously was a noise coming out of the thing though. My latest ASUS AC router quietly does its job, or i just got older and years of motorcycle riding have dampened my hearing ability.

Why is motorcycle exhaust so excessive?

I notice that older carb bikes then to run rich and have a petrol type smell to them, but like others have said, most un-modded FI bikes smell like cars. One thing I can think of is that some bikes (like my triumph ST3) the muffler tends to "shoot" the exhaust out the pipe, meaning that it...

Singapore fines Tesla owners for high emissions

I would say that with electricity as a power source there are more options to lower the carbon emissions via renewable or nuclear power sources. SO just because it uses electricity, doesn't mean that it is polluting at the same rate.

Upgraded to a R390 and issues started up

I actually went to a 290x instead. THe problem I think was not having enough amps to the card. I put in two separate 12v rails for power and it works fine. OC is still in place, everything is stable, even with a slight OC on the R290x (1108/1375)

dead. Zotac AMP GTX 980ti $599 No rebate+ free game

I hear ya, but the next gen stuff is still pure speculation. Folks talking about 40% gains "blowing out of the water" stuff like that. Maybe that's true but that's relative performance. I'm fairly certain that a 980ti will run any game just fine at my aforementioned resolutions for years to come.

Doing this long enough (since the Matrox and 3DFX years) I can say with confidence that oyu'll be okay buying something now. A 980TI will run most things fine for about 3 years as long as you stay at 1440 or 1080p. There will always be better cards right around the corner, I've learned to...
