That’s the Assgot Ring Effect
put a ring on her finger and her assgot bigger and her mouth got smaller.

High End Cpu scores

Mid Range Cpu Scores

Low End Cpu Scores

Common Processors

Now For the one we really wanted to see.
Over Clocked Processors

Looks to me as of today 3/14/09 Amd Is the best “right out of the box” central Processing Units
but when you overclock, Intel i7 stomps.. Very good job guys, thanks for the scores.

Tech Forum Relaunch

Posted onAuthorTruXter

I just got done rebuilding the tech forum.

My hopes is that we will help each other find solutions to their tech issues. so please sign up and check in from time to time. Maybe someone will ask a question you can answer. I know you guys out there have plenty of witts about you in the computer and electronics field. Not everyone is as good as you guys.

So come to http://iworkwithtech.com/forum/

Sign up. Leave a greeting somewhere or start a new thread, or heck make a request.

Google Notebook yet?

Posted onAuthorTruXter

From what is being said at Computerworld.com (http://blogs.computerworld.com/google_ceo_hints_google_linux_netbooks_may_be_coming)

We see hints of it coming.

Again I think Google is funnier than apple about info leaks. Misguided leaks and disinformation.

I am counting on something portable, smaller than a notebook, bigger than a cellphone.

Like a psp or something, with an occasional advertisement here and there to cut the cost, then again, that is what we thought would happen with the”Gphone”. Remember when we called it that? We thought we would get spam from time to time, but the phone would be free and extremely useful, but actually if you upgrade to that phone before your contract is renewed, you are looking at +$300(usd). So what ever they are saying at computer world about special low $99 prices, are way far fetched. Might even get hyped in speculation then dropped later, just like they did with the G1. I mean really, it’s a 100% pure advertisement box, why the hell isn’t it cheaper ?????

Compact Disc is 30 years old

Posted onAuthorTruXter

According to Gizmodo

http://i.gizmodo.com/5166399/happy-30th-birthday-compact-disc

Happy birthday! 1979-2009.Thirty years. Pretty amazing that it’s been that long since those crazy Dutchmen at Philips spun the technology off of laser discs as part of an optical digital audio disc demo in Eindhoven.

It sure has come a long way from a peice of plastic that would orange peel.. wait, they still do that.

Well it came a long way from back when they called them “indestructable” to  almost obsoleted by it’s grand son the blue ray, or hd  disk that holds nearly 100 times it’s 700 mb capacity.

Thank you compact disk for creating this wonderfull peice of junk that skips or silences every time I hit a railroad track.

ZDnet says FAA Hacked (in so many words)

Thanks to wirelessPacket’s twitter post for the heads up.

Um… crap!

Two of the 48 files on the breached computer server contained personal information about more than 45,000 FAA employees and retirees who were on the FAA’s rolls as of the first week of February 2006.

Cross fingers we get our stuff back, and up, the theives do not live to tell or do anything about it.

Comparing AMD to INtel

Posted onAuthorTruXter2 Comments

If intel tells you the processor is 4000 megahertz then that is exactly what it is, if they sell that processor to you with that rating at $400 then you know what you bought at the price you paid. If amd sells you anything similar at the same price it is a 4000+ at 400 dollars. This amd 4000+ is actually a 2500 with the ability to act like a 4000 mhtz processor. Somehow amd has been able to sell you this belief as if you are saving money because you are buying an overclocked processor. That never has made any sense to me. They over clock a low speed processor and sell it at the same price as a legit 4000 mhtz processor? How is this saving you money? If the processor was a 8000+ from a 4000 mhz processor being overclocked sold at the same price as a 4000 MHz Intel, then you clearly would have a good deal.

The die hard AMD fans have always seemed to have big grey X’s over their eyes and they look like they are in daze when I try to explain how they are being scammed with the combination of two words, “overclocked” and “deal”. We can all overclock.
There is no need in paying for an overclocked lesser processor at the same price as a high rated processor that you can overclock for yourself.
Amd is clearly the loser in my eyes and intel is the pure winner in this case.
Now comes the hopes”
Amd has recently purchased Ati. Ati makes video card chips and accessories. Through current research and many studies we have seen that video card processors have more power than cpus (central processing units). There is hope that amd/ATI are working on a very strong excessively impressive processor for a cpu that can do what a normal processor can do,tenfold. This would mean the processor and motherboard might be standard, meaning the processor can not be upgraded because it is affixed to the motherboard and will not be capable of being removed. This might actually be an issue, unless they sell these motherboards at a nice low price. This could also lead to duel processors on a board that actually work well together and have upgradeable drivers that could lead to nice clean usage of all aspects of the processor.but for now that is just hopes.

Clearly as of now untill anything new is announced, Intel is clearly the successor.

GTAIV Vice City Or San Andreas Next?

Posted onAuthorPoit388

Clearly it will be Vice City. San Andreas is the final city each time and Liberty City is where you start.
On GTAIII Vice city is what happened after the Game coders smoothed out the code and repacked it to take less space, allowing them to pack more crap in one game.
GTAIII Took a hearty machine back in the day, as GTAIV take a Hearty Machine these days. Vice city took a slightly stronger computer on III, yet played twice as smooth. Vice city will play smoother again. If computer gamers are allowed a chance to ride the GTAIV tail to the end, then GTA PC Fans will be in for a re-occurring blast.
Will we see a yellow washed city again? I was not bothered by that in III , It gave the feel of a sunny city. Especially after Rainy Liberty City. More Boats, less garbage, more old people and malls. The only things I anticipate. I am ready for the announcement .
What I hope for, is a glimpse at an old burned out Tommy Vercetti, in a retirement home, along with the un named Guy from GTAIII, And Carl Johnson from San Andreas living up on the beach, with no role in the game other than showing he is still alive.

There was an interview with the creators of Grand Theft Auto, and they said that we will not see any persons returning in GTAIV Because they are all dead. Vice city in GTIII was a step back in time, and so was San Andreas, what will happen in that case? will they close the books for good and show us how they all die?
Buy the next game, Buy the pc version to get the real deal, and we will know what’s up.

Have Fun Good Luck

Read the responses. They will leave you laughing.

I wonder if the person who opened the door to the virus still won that free iPhone.

My question is ‘ did that fake virus scanner work yet? did they pay full price?”  ok that was mean..
