Anyone else agree that is far to close to a product recommendation question?

Q: Is a i5-4200U (2.60GHz 1600MHz 3MB) faster than i5-4210U Processor (1.70GHz 1600MHz 3MB)?

I know that they are different models and that make the comparison a little tricky, but I'm asking about an overall performance evaluation. Notice the diff at CPU clock, 1.7 vs 2.6

there we go

I really don't want to see more questions like that....

@Bob I seem not to understand Laythe's aerodynamics very well. :S

Ramhound

I will help anyone provided they are willing to help themselfs :$

good lord; wish this doctor who download would hurry up!

I am bloody tired

7am on a sat; all day class ( literally sun up to sun down )

just spend 4 hours doing homework :-(

@Bob imagine this: Spaceplane. Mk 2 cockpit with 3 Kerbals. Attached to two orange soda cans (the Rockomax jumbo fuel tanks). Spaceplane Plus mod providing more wings with more flexibility, so I built three pairs of wings totaling 24 lift, plus 7.2 lift of elevons (like ailerons) on the wings, plus a tail with rudders for another 4 lift, plus an elevator for 1 lift. 8 pair of 2-tire landing gear. science lab on the end. various instruments on top.

configured with three Rapier engines with ramjets above AND below each middle wing of the 3 pairs. total 12 Rapier engines mounted on the wings. on the back, I have a mainsail liquid engine.

it's fairly aerodynamic and controllable in Kerbin's atmosphere; it's not GREAT, but the pitch is super easy to control, and it can get enough air speed to maintain level flight at a fairly high altitude without making the rapiers burn oxidizer.

long trip to Laythe on the mainsail. Hohmann transfer etc. Start to try and fly it around in Laythe's atmosphere, and... WTF?!?! it keeps pitching end over end! tried various things: air-breathing engines the problem? closing the intakes to reduce drag? running only on the rapiers? how about only the mainsail?

had an enormous amount of difficulty trying not to crash in the water, and to just control the plane, even with Vernor engines for RCS, and SAS enabled. the plane kept wanting to flip over and spin out of control. whatever fluid forms Laythe's atmosphere is either ridiculously thick or I'm just doing it wrong...

Journeyman Geek

lol

allquixotic

landing was hopeless so I did a bunch of science over the waters of Laythe and came back to Kerbin... not nearly as fruitful as I had hoped; I wanted a surface sample >_< then I tried to land it on Kerbin like a rocket and it exploded, so then I tried landing it like an airplane and it worked... landed on the grass (because screw runways) and applied the gear brakes.

And most of that was before using last.fm, so... rather skewed there

P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)

"P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" is a song by American recording artist Michael Jackson. It is the sixth single from Jackson's sixth solo album, Thriller (1982). The original demo version of the song was written by Jackson and Greg Phillinganes. Quincy Jones passed on the song itself but liked the title and, with James Ingram, fashioned a totally new song with that title. The demo version is featured on The Ultimate Collection. "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" was released on September 19, 1983, as the penultimate single from Thriller. The single charted at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and no....

there's something fundamentally satisfying about the musical arrangement in certain songs... can't quite put my finger on it. (those 3 songs intentionally picked because they have nothing to do with one another in genre, so you can't just pigeonhole me to a specific type of artist)
