    NEWZ: Intel Plans To Drop Pentium Moniker

    It sounds to me like they're dropping the name "Pentium 4." It's not as if we're going to move on to the "Sexium" or something.

    Confused Regarding EPS 12V Power Supplies

    If I recall correctly, through version 2.03, the ATX standard specified a 20-pin mainboard connector. Intel created a new standard, called ATX12V which added the 4-pin connector to power the processor. The SSI standard people appear to have been specifying a 24-pin mainboard connector for some...

    Well, it is there. I've read through reviews and fora, and plenty of folks are using reasonably priced power supplies in systems similar to or more powerful than what I'm looking at.

    Those are adapter cables Bozo. There are extremely fine reasons for actually running the additional wires from the power supply, and I agree with them. I won't get a PSU without the appropriate connectors.

    Looking for an EPS Power Supply

    According to several of the reviews that I've looked at thus far, the PowerStream is manufactured by the same company that makes the Tagan supply. The two models obviously aren't identical, but a lot of the ~$35 difference appears to be bells and whistles which I don't need.

    Is Firefox 1.0.1 sucking for anyone else?

    The problem was some unfortunate interaction between ZIP builds and installer builds. Generally, people are going to stick with one or the other -- and obviously, that was the hole in their testing. The issue appears to have been fixed almost immediately and updated versions are out.

    I think that you've confused a great risk with no chance of a payback. Like an Internet startup, the risk is high, but the possible payback is higher. Sure, under ideal conditions. What's the efficiency under real conditions? That's the kind of numbers that these folks are quoting. I don't...

    I wouldn't call it a scam, but an investment of questionable return. The efficiency of this system is extremely poor relative to the amount of energy that's hitting it's coverage area -- but that's the case of nearly all solar power systems. The reason why is that they're using the convection...
