Pentium M vs Pentium 4 - Page 5

I doubt Dashby would want to spend more money on audio than his laptop.

I am personally saving up for a nice pair of ProAc and a pair of Cary single end triode tubes....drool

only $12000 more to go

I'd actually be able to spend that much on stereo equipment maybe when I'm like 50 years old... oh well dream dream dream

Beer gives me the chills, but wine gives me that fuzzy warm feeling. I'd suggest moving out of Illinois, that state is nuts! I drove through it during summer on my way to CA from NYC and I couldn't believe how much bug splatter was on my windshield!

NY winter was bad enough, I can only imagine how bad Illinois must be having it...

You'll find a few good adjectives in there.

I'm too tired to say what CPU Scorecard can say itself for me.

"When you get right down to it, computer processor benchmarks are an imprecise and transitory method of comparing how fast/well/suitably a given list of computer systems will perform for you.

They are prone to error, skew, and hype. They are highly dependent upon the specific test configuration from which they result. And the various speeds and capabilities of the individual computer hardware components (hard drive, bus, memory, video, et al) in a system can be at least as important to overall performance as is the speed of the CPU."

So, you sit on forums all day, trying to convince strangers to buy notebooks with one type of processor than another? NERD

As comic book guy said: "Oh, I've wasted my life."

When you're in graduate-level computer engineering courses, call me. By the way, no one gives a rat's ass what kind of weather you drove in, you lonely nerd. If I spend any more time on you, I'm going to turn INTO you.. here's an artist's rendition:



By the way, "protean" doesn't properly work in the context in which you used it. But hey, you tried! Give the thesaurus a break. Ciao!

That's the most extreme ego I've seen yet on this forum. I don't care if you have a Ph.D., or other Masters - I've managed your type in real life scenarios (yes hired and fired your type - mostly fired). All I've got to say is Bill Gates, Donald Trump and Rockefeller's.

Isn't it funny (or at least worth noticing) how the most successful entrepeneurs have little to no college education. Hmmm.

Yes, having a masters or any other type of degree is certainly commendable, but it feeds the ego. I do admire that academia, but when it feeds the head strong, I think they're insecure idiots who hide behind their supposed knowledge!

By Gosh, George Bush, our current President is a Yale grad. What does that mean?

Why are there T.V. shows like "The Apprentice" on T.V.? There's always been an age 'ol debate between the wanna bees, the think-they-know-it-all types and the street savvy. Well, again, not one of our current BILLIONAIRES have a *Masters*. Hate to throw that at ya.

I personally know SEVERAL Harvard MBA's that are no where near as talented as they think they are, and while I'm friends with them, their track record speaks for itself.

I will agree with you that spending time on a useless forum is *useless* but yet you found the time to respond - your credibility in question?

acurarsx, that is the smartest thing i have heard in my 11 years of life. See EDR, logic does not have an age boundary. So please be nice to those kids who see things more logically than you and dont bash them.

That pretty much says it all. Once again, thanks for the confirmation.

What happened to all the fun? Come on, now, let's not turn this into a contest of egos and ad hominems.

Chill.

Im having fun. So fun that i lied about my age when i am really 10 years and 7 month old. I had to round up because my pre-algebra teacher insisted such rule, so sorry EDR, i have lied.

Aren't you up pass your "supposed" bed time?

C'mon, clone, you're NOT 11. Your sentence composition is better than some 30 year olds' I have worked with. You got EDR good

What's your number?

Someone is claiming that graduate level education is useless? That those who earn their Ph.D's only feed their own ego rather than contributing to society? That is the most absurd statement I've heard in a long time. If it wasn't for the scientists in PARC, there would be no computer entrepreneurs. The knowlege and the academia is a requirement of society and industry, without which no industry would function. You seem to be insinuating that the high-tech industry can function without those with sufficient education. I hope you see the error in that.

That's not true. Because most people can name a few notoriously successful businessmen doesn't mean that most of them don't have college education.

I do agree however, college degree is not a blaring symbol of intelligence or capability. It's well known that Harvard Business School inflates their GPA/scores. On the other hand you have joke schools that'd accept any student that can spell thier name right.

George's Yale degree means that he partied and had a good time. I wish I have a Yale degree

Keep in mind, not all college degrees are created equal.

And I don't think EDR meant to say that degrees "only" feed their ego (it certainly can however); he said "when" it feeds the head strong.

BTW we're losing focus here, we're supposed to be having FUN!

Gosh, I repeatedly find myself having to reiterate points, because you folks contiunally put words into my mouth, and/or have comprehension problems. Many of you have done this many times, simply to argue. It's like you intentionally try to create an argument out of content that's not there. Funny.

In any case, I absolutely agree with you, that Academia, scientists, engineers, and Ph.D's are good. Never said they weren't. They are good for us and for society, in general. However, *when* (thanks X at least you took the time to read) one uses their degree to undermine someone else, that's a problem!

Again, I say .... name me even 1 BILLIONAIRE that has a Ph.D and that got that degree prior to making all of their money. There are some people who make their money and then go back to school and get higher degrees since they have the money to spend, and other people running their businesses - that's a rarity though.

In any case, isn't it funny that all of our *most wealthy* individuals today have either a bachelor's degree only, or didn't even finish college? Seriously, why is that? What caused that pattern? Anyone want to address that, or are you going to put words in my mouth again?

I think we've said all we can say about P4 vs PMs. There's no definite answer in that debate since it is a personal choice.

In summary:
1. P4 is faster than PM, esp. w/HT
2. PM has more battery life

And frankly, there's nothing much more we can go on in my opinion. We need a new debate!

Maybe Cloned has written other comments in other threads with better sentence structure that I have not seen. But, in this one, I'm sorry, the person came across as a complete immature, and unintelligent person. In fact, Cloned even mis-spelled blah with balh TWO times. HA!

On serious note, I certainly was not able to determine from Cloned's writings in this thread that he was out of his teens and in the 30 range.

You are 100% correct on all points. However, I believe it's unfair (and businesses actually lose) because they have a criteria that someone must have a bachelor's degree for a certain job, regardless of whether the degree is in philosophy, and the job description is *corporate management*. Yes, there is a flawed concept that is prevalent, that if someone has finished college and obtained a degree they can *finish* or *follow through* while all others cannot. How absurd!

Many people can't afford to goto school, but are more tenacious that the majority. They are driven and ambitious. Those are the qualities that a business should assessment test for. I would not have a problem with business asking "I see you went to college for 2.5 years and dropped out. Why?" If the answer was insufficient then the business could determine, this person was not able to "finish" or "follow through" so I don't want to hire them.

However, for many who never even went to college, simply for money reasons, yet who have worked their way up the ranks, in real life experience over the years, who are extremely intelligent, always have the barrier of dealing with businesses who (despite the real world experience) won't hire simply because there's no bachelor's on the record.

And, I know many people who finished and got their bachelor's simply because of parental pressure and other reasons, but are some of the most lazy and unambitious (and not very smart either) people.
