    Hmm I don't see it as a big selling point. With current gen consoles, I've never heard anyone say "I bought a PS3/Xbox because it's faster than the Xbox/PS3" and I'd bet that will continue to these consoles.

    Most people have no idea how much work a Photographer puts in, and it's usually double or triple the work for a Wedding. $1000 is peanuts for a Wedding Photographer. Most good ones charge anywhere between $4000 and $7500, and are well worth it.
     
    Hell, the $100 is so stupid it should have been an automatic yes. If they can afford a wedding, they can afford the $100 and some damn chicken!

    Yeah, I agree, but also some more major devs porting applications too. If we can have many of the familiar apps of windows on Linux, then there's less reason for builders to buy windows... Hopefully steam os Linux the kick start it needs.

    I'm pretty excited, and I hope it becomes more popular, perhaps on a par with android. Ubuntu is a decant os on the desktop but I'm surprised sometimes when people haven't even heard of Linux.

    I could install it on my Galaxy Nexus, see how it runs. Or get a second phone to try it out (Nexus 4 is pretty cheap these days). I like the concept behind a unified OS the brings devices together, and Ubuntu is the second so far (after Windows 8).

    Don't buy low end components and then upgrade them, just save your money and wait until you can buy decent parts otherwise you will be buying two PC when you only need one.

    MetalLobster reacted to NeoZeon in In Defense of Science   
    *Disclaimer, this rant is stemming from an argument I had with one of my students who questioned the age of the earth. I teach intro geology at the university level, and we were learning about plate tectonics, a process that occurs over millions of years.

    *This rant will probably have very little organization, I'm fairly upset right now.

    I'm sure that most of you do not need convincing, but I will make the claim anyway: a rejection of science is equivalent to rejecting mankind itself. This is important to say, because in recent years, the primary contributor to scientific funding, the United States, is cutting funding to the National Science Foundation, NASA, and other objective science funding sources. For those of you that do not know, the National Science Foundation is pretty much the pay source of all academic scientists in the fields ranging from the Natural Sciences to the Applied sciences. They are the people that are currently funding my graduate education, without which it would cost me upwards of 500k to complete my degree, not including research expenses. This funding makes my accomplishments, and the rest of sciences accomplishments (most is publicly funded in academia), not just my own, but society's. Scientists truly stand on the shoulders of giants.

    For those of you who are approaching voting age, in any country, its time to start thinking about what kind of world you want. The Dark ages in Europe coincided with the massive reduction in scientific funding, and ended with a renewing interest in science and natural law. What does the candidate you favor think about scientific funding?

    In the United States, there is a push to have creationism taught alongside science in classrooms; fine, with the exception that they want to use money budgeted for science classes to do so. This is not acceptable. This might offend you, but creationism has no place in a liberal (think classical Greek definition, not political definition) environment. Creationism is less than a theory, which requires observable evidence. When a school board, makes you qualify evolution as "The Theory of Evolution", it's not to correctly define a scientific idea, but to provide a contrast where creationism is not a theory and therefore seems more substantiated. You may believe creationism is the Truth, with a capital T, but if you claim that there is more evidence supporting creationism than Evolution you really need to evaluate your sources.

    When you attack science, you attack yourself. Every scientist, no matter what they study, has one goal: to change the world. In a few years, New Horizons will swing by Pluto, and take hi-resolution photos of the icy surface. Once those pictures are taken, the people born after that will never know a world where Pluto was just some flickering ball in a high powered telescope. The normal of knowledge will have changed, along with the world. Why are people so adamant to stop this? Why do people choose to hurt themselves, and their children so much? When you vote, defend science, as it directly defends society as well.
     
     
    If this post is unacceptable, too political, or what ever, please delete it, and accept my apologies. I don't intent to start a war, I just want people to realize what they are doing when they hurt the scientific community.

    I think changing cpu to such inferior architecture as bulldozer is a waste of money if you already have phenom x6. Wait for something really BETTER to come out if you want to go with amd, or get intel but again I don't think upgrading to qaud core intel is such a good deal for the money spent. I say do not get anything for now. Maybe next year will bring some new CPUs to the table.
