It's not the bit rate; my ADSL router has the ability to display live TCP/UDP connections, and it was blatantly obvious that it stopped being able to handle new sessions once you hit 127 simultaneous connections.
I threw it in my junk box and switched to OpenBSD running on a Compaq DL360 1U machine.
64-bit PCI slots will (usually) take normal 32-bit cards without problems. Vice-versa as well - you can stick a 64-bit card in a 32-bit slot without any problems (other than the obvious slowdown).
He's talking about VGA built into the chipset - typical examples would be Intel 810/815, etc.
These really do reduce performance; I've found a 15-20% drop in memory bandwidth to be 'normal' with such a chipset.
Obviously, motherboards where the video is on-board but not integrated into the chipset do not have this problem (such as the common ATI Rage/Rage3D/whatever config popular with server manufacturers).

Hahahaha. Good one;)
Don't forget, many modern developers haven't yet figured out that abstraction and performance are in an inverse relationship.
He said, "Being a presidential contender is someone who has a chance to garner enough electoral votes to win the election." That's a mathematical definition of the term contender, OK?
In other words, someone who is registered as a candidate in enough states that if they won all electoral votes for those states would become President is a contender.
Sacrificing your prinicples in order to get votes... yup, he sounds like a natural politician to me.
Oh, for fuck's sake. You guys have a political system that makes it essential impossible for anyone without multi-millions in backing to get anything like enough coverage to let voters know that they have choices outside the dualistic monopoly of the Democrats and Republicans, and you still think it's a bad idea for him to bring some attention to that fact?
Actually, I find more and more PCs (not servers, obviously) these days simply can't handle running under full load for very long - they'll overheat after a few hours and reboot.
According to the link provided by the other guy who answered you, Hubble's resolution in the photos it took of Mars was good enough to resolve features 12 miles in size. The photos from MGS had a resolution of 0.5 meters per pixel.
Obviously being closer is better than having a bigger mirror.
What it comes down to is (a) the movie will be shown without its soundtrack and (b) some people will be talking in the theater while the movie is showing.
Sorry, but how the hell can this be the target of a C&D letter? Point (a) is up to whoever's showing the movie, and point (b) has no relation to the movie itself. Where does copyright law come into this at all?
Buy a secondhand Alpha (a 21164-based machine is very cheap, and a 21264 machine only a bit more) - most of them are capable of running the last versions of VMS.
Go for slightly older second-hand stuff. I own a Proliant ML350 (PIII@1.13GHz x 2, 768MB of ECC RAM, 36.5GB Ultra160 HDDs x 6) and a DL360 (PIII@800MHz, 640MB RAM, 18GB Ultra160 HDDs x 2); the ML350 is my fileserver/webserver/mailserver/nameserver, and the DL360 is my firewall (running OpenBSD).
Altogether, they probably haven't cost me any more than $US800 or so, but they're easily the best-made machines I own.
Er... I wasn't saying that solar is an economical solution, I was asking him how much it cost where he is. I was told I'd never be able to recoup the cost of a solar installation, so I gave up on it. $20,000 pays a lot of electricity bills.
I've been looking into building a home here in Japan, and the only thing that turned up in the article that isn't offered by most construction companies/builders here is the staggered studs. The rest of it (roof insulation, foundation insulation, well-insulated windows, single heating/cooling system for the whole house, 3.3KW solar panel) is pretty much standard, or if it's not standard, it's available as a unexceptional option.
Is the US really that far behind in construction techniques?
The limitation on storage systems is, and has been for a while, the speed of transferring data in and out of the system, rather than the overall capacity.
The highest-speed systems currently available can (maybe) transfer data at 300MB/s or so. To transfer a dataset of only 40 bits, it'd take approximately an hour. A 64-bit dataset is more than 16 million times as large - which means it'd take nearly two millenia to transfer on today's best systems.
Even if transfer rates are increased by two orders of magnitude (effectively unthinkable for the forseeable future without the development of entirely new and currently unknown technologies), you've still only reduced that time from 2000 years to 20 years.

Well done. If there were such a lameness filter, it would have blocked you from posting that.

I think he's talking about the other end, genius.
In case you hadn't noticed, people tend to eat much the same whether or not they use bicycles.

When I asked my builder about insulating the interior walls, he basically said don't bother.
Er... I wasn't saying that solar is an economical solution, I was asking him how much it cost where he is.
I was told I'd never be able to recoup the cost of a solar installation, so I gave up on it. $20,000 pays a lot of electricity bills.
Hang on a moment - you've got a single air-conditioning system for the entire house and insulation in the internal walls?
Can you control your air conditioner on a per-room basis? If not, the internal wall insulation is a waste.
Same in Japan. Almost every construction company offers "low-energy/high-efficiency" housing here.
Really? How much? We were quoted around $US20,000 equivalent (in Japan), inclusive of hardware and installation costs.
Yeah. Where'd they get that wierd conversion from? Even 10 seconds with Google would have given them the right answer.
