A story of heroic engineering, all dressed up but with no place to go. ---------------------------------------------------- DISABLED INTEL SATELLITE RESTORED TO OPERATION BY NRO A U.S. intelligence satellite that had ceased to function was recently restored to operation by engineers from the...

Is anyone up on the current range of cpus available? I work in specifying parts for pcs, and even I am fairly lost these days. Last time I had to buy one for myself, it was fairly straightforward, as AMD were by far the best in the midrange price bracket. These days, I'm not so sure, and it's...

As the title implies, I'm trying to get back in the saddle, spec wise, before buying a laptop for working on. One of the laptops I'm currently ogling, has an Intel 1.66 GHz Dual Core chip while the other has an AMD64 3.20 GHz (1.6 GHz) single core chip. The AMD one is slightly cheaper, due to...

Here's a good one. A work machine, running XP on a network, with internet access and someone's MSN Messenger set to kick in on startup. First, the mouse stopped working. Followed by a second mouse. At this point I got involved as the user came to scrounge my spare rodent. Five minutes later, I...

Feel free to delete this if the topic has been posted before though I haven't seen it. Here is a link to a Register article which in turn links to a speech by Andy Grove where he suggests that by 2010 India will employ more software and service staff than the US. I'm in the UK but I think a...
