Actually, a good 80% of a modern airliner's thrust comes from the huge fan in front of the engine. A turbine after the combustion chamber steals some of the energy to move the compressor and the fan. Most of the air (>90%) just goes

Similar thing happened in Iceland a few years ago. Before starting work to review the constitution, they ran a facebook poll to get input from the population. Top suggestions were "Free Ice Cream"and "More Volcanoes":

True, but less heat dissipation means less need for thermal throttling. Even when working on a single thread, thermal throttling is likely to kick in - so yep, a die shrink effectively results in higher performance in such a case.

I'm quite peeved as well. I tried alternate, creative, latin-y spellings (josef, ioannes, etc), hit wordsmith.org too for some bruteforce help, no way.

One additional reason it still makes sense as a product: last 3-4 years have been... Quite underwhelming, from a CPU power perspective. A little bit of power efficiency, which does have its place on a laptop, but other than that, hardly any

There is also the non-insignificant issue of the $500 price tag. Wouldn't bat an eyelid if this was for professional/corporate use, but $500 out of my own pocket for my personal home server is a bit steep.

I ran it for many years (and still do on a couple smaller machines). It has been exceptionally stable and thankfully devoid of "surprises" (using the word in its worst possible connotation). Things stay exactly as you leave them,

I'll be fully honest with you: I considered staying. I considered doing exactly what you say: staying, working against the current, trying to change things. And then I decided not to. Why? Because I fully believe that Italy is doomed b

Any decent voice-optimized codec (CELP, CELT, Speex, hell even old GSM)can squeeze that in 1Kbyte/sec - actually even half of that but let's retain some quality. Include silence detection and you probably have less than 60 minutes

Quanta. Unknown. What? Maybe unknown to mr Jordan Novet. They've been out there for what, 25 years, and are like the biggest notebook ODM in the world. Chances are your Apple, HP or Dell laptop is made by Quanta.
