HP pays half for Nvidia’s graphic problems - The INQUIRER

Nvidia is not talking about this and it’s being swept under the rug. The “fix” is to turn on the fans all the time which keeps the video chip cool and kills your battery. the issue is the chip overheats and basically warps it’s packaging and then effectively shorts out.  Dell’s Statement is here.  Basically until this clears up steer clear of Nvidia graphics chips period for now.

*update*  HP is removing old bios versions so that users who find that the “fix” runs the fans at full bore and destroys their battery life are not able to go back to a bios version that makes the laptop run correctly.

I don’t agree with this course of action any longer. It’s more disturbing that this was a pharmacist’s mahcine. This is a huge HIPAA issue right there as the machine was most likely leaking confidential patient information constantly. Any machine that is compromised these days most likely has a rootkit installed that you won’t be able to detect at all. Back in the UNIX days if a mahcine got compromised it was imaged and then reformatted. The image was put into a contained area for analysis. Frankly these dyas with keyloggers and rootkits so prevalent for Windows amchines now if you get a compromised mahcine it’s really best to boot to a linux cd..get the data off and then wipe the machine out and reload from scratch.

Ah yes. The environazis have descended onto Brunswick. Right now they are using the high energy prices to say we must go green now to reduce greenhouse gases. It’s known this is a bunch of hooey. These very environnazis are one of the reasons we have such high energy prices. We can drill onshore..anywhere..and we can’t drill offshore..even while foreign nations drill where we should be drilling. Come on folks. Let’s get energy under control by sweeping the environweenies out of politics.

Brunswick resident Karin Tome, a candidate for City Council, encouraged the council to adopt the Climate Protection Agreement. “I think it’s important that there be political will to inspire citizens,” she said.

you know..i was thinking about voting for her..but this kind of globalistic, UN based thinking has no place in Brunswick or anywhere else.

I think next election cycle I’m going to run for City Council. I’m not liking what I am seeing and it’s high time for me to get more involved i think.

Ah yes..the beginnings of the march towards the AC.  The taking of all monies form our country and in the name of reducing poverty simply goes to the UN to pump up it’s coffers for hte eventual centralization of all power in the earthly world.

Obama’s $845 billion U.N. plan forwarded to U.S. Senate floor
He said the legislation, if approved, dedicates 0.7 percent of the U.S. gross national product to foreign aid, which over 13 years he said would amount to $845 billion “over and above what the U.S. already spends.”

The plan passed the House in 2007 “because most members didn’t realize what was in it,” Kincaid reported. “Congressional sponsors have been careful not to calculate the amount of foreign aid spending that it would require.”

A recent statement from Obama’s office noted the support offered by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

“With billions of people living on just dollars a day around the world, global poverty remains one of the greatest challenges and tragedies the international community faces,” Obama said. “It must be a priority of American foreign policy to commit to eliminating extreme poverty and ensuring every child has food, shelter, and clean drinking water. As we strive to rebuild America’s standing in the world, this important bill will demonstrate our promise and commitment to those in the developing world.

“Our commitment to the global economy must extend beyond trade agreements that are more about increasing profits than about helping workers and small farmers everywhere,” he continued.
