Completely agree
@Constantin , over on this side of the pond we have great roads and plenty of them very close to hand, so a blade isn't so bad - oddly there's been a large number of people commuting into London on Blades and similar bikes, which I think it's odd, as there are no bends!!! I've had a go on a few blades, from the first one onward and they were amazing, the first was very twitchy with the 16in front!
Wow, that V8 5L must be stonking, we don't get big engine'd cars over here, or rather I'm not in the right circles to know people with them. Saying that, I went to a client who has an American car, a Mustang of some variety - I've been designing an extension for his car to stay dry, because yes it does rain here a bit! I'm glad you walked away with a bruise, like you say, would have been far worse to go wrong on two wheels.
I did hear/read that some processes can't be run parallel on multicores, though I forget why - perhaps video editing can't be done in chunks or something...I'm officially talking about my pay/knowledge grade! That's cool about the Boeing, I'd love to know how long 1 conventional computer would have done the same task? Weeks, months or even years!?!?
I have heard (I seem to hear an awful lot) about Linux-land,
@Evertb1 's comments ring very true from my very brief experience, but also the experience of others that I knew, who delved into that world. As he mentioned, I recall a guy working all day trying to make a printer work. I say good luck to them of course, it must be great to get away from MS/iOS. Much like
@Newfoundland.Republic , I too need Windows to make money that pays for food in the winter!
Watching the MacPro saga was entertaining to say the least, especially at the costs involved - though of course I'm not a in position to depend on Mac's and there are no doubt many that buy them for the workflow/reliability.
You've got some knowledge there about the CPU's, I can only read!
Thank you, I thought Z2 was sensible, I have a few unused but good condition SSD's, so I'll probably use them to create any VMs that I want to play with!
