Probably going to grab a bucked of KFC and stay at the office late. Get some stuff done.
A long time ago, I made a blog post bemoaning the loss of paper documentation Seeing the forest from the dead trees [blog.gtwilson.net]
I am willing to admit I was in error. This , coupled with virtual desktops, is sooo much better.
@matigo What I am looking at is the power usage. That would be a game changer for servers.
As just one example, a recent microprocessor design using RISC-V has a clock speed of 5 gigahertz, well above a recent, top-of-the-line Intel Xeon server chip, E7, running at 3.2 gigahertz. Yet the novel RISC-V chip burns just 1 watt of power at 1.1 volts, less than one percent of the power burned by the Intel Xeon.
It would be amazing to see x86 architecture finally be relegated to the dustbin of history.

Here in an hour or so, I head off to Walmart to grab a LED TV to use as a display. Been using one at the appt and it is so much easier on my eyes and I love the huge screen real estate.
@streakmachine I just find it amazing. They take, arguably, the game that put them on the map and screw it up so badly the menus lag even top end cards. Then, they turn around and make a flawless port to a portable console with somewhat limited specs.
