I seriously doubt prime95 is comprehensive enough to cover all CPU operation.
How do you ensure the test runs on the knocked-out core?
Note: I'm not saying this to be sarcastic or suggest it is a reason to not try unlocking the cores - I'm actually curious (*looks at 65W dual core Phenom II*)
*typically* the a non-overheating CPU tends to work to spec (or similar to other models in the line), or not at all, without much inbetween behavior. I can see why he would replace it last, if it were a normal CPU. That being said, as the article stated, he's not using a normal CPU.
With particularly quirky errors, I would go for Memory, Motherboard and PSU as the most likely cause (add disk in this case as it is during file writes - however the disk worked fine with the previous OS, so that mitigates a lot of concern with the disk).
So, were he not using a nonstandard CPU, I would have agreed with his methodology (except replaced the PSU in an earlier step).
With the nonstandard CPU, I'd have replaced that first. There's no baseline for comparison.
.NET is Microsoft's implementation of it's CLR (Common Language Runtime). In general anything CLR tends to be referred to as.NET.
Mono is an open source implementation. It runs on Windows, MacOS, Linux, FreeBSD and I believe I've even seen it for HPUX. There are probably other platforms. In my experience, if your platform has a libgdi+ library available for it, mono will run most.NET apps written in Visual Studios 2003 and earlier. I'm not sure about later MS dev environments. I also don't know if libgdi+ is needed separately in all environments or just FreeBSD.
I'm guessing he meant that you understand the physics conceptually first, and then learn the math that represents it, that way you have a motivation for learning the math and it is more interesting.
I'd tend to agree with that. Most physics can be understood conceptually without the math, but when you understand the math you can move from qualitative descriptions/predictions to quantitative.
Yes, that's the general answer. Probably not the correct one.
*NOTHING* short of educating a user, or massively restricting their privileges on a computer can protect from this kind of problem. I worked at a place where we used Windows, and locked everything *really* tight, using a lot of sysinternals software (regmon/diskmon) to figure out where to allow nonprived users to write so that poorly written windows software would work for them. It's easier on Linux and MacOS, but it is still a problem.
Remember - even if it is only the user's account, and not the whole computer that is infected, it can still cause trouble (cleanup is easier though).
I've seen windows boxes go uncracked for years, and I've seen Linux and MacOS boxes cracked within weeks of being set up. With the proper security precautions, security flaws are mostly user based.
That being said, in a networked environment, once one computer behind a firewall gets cracked, the floodgates have been opened, whoever did the cracking just got a firewall bypass.
Then the theater I went to had bad glasses, because one was a purpleish color and the other green. The color adjustment was faint, and most wouldn't notice it, but I have *very* sensitive color perception.
actually, when I went to the IMAX, it was purple/green. The colors were subtle, but one of the few things that is good with my eye is an good perception of color.

Annoying thing is, I read the bill (off the senate site) around sept/oct of last year, and rather liked it.
I need to get around to reading the newer bill, but there are already a lot of huge changes I know of that I don't like...
Go to the 2D showing and save some cash. Not only is it cheaper, but the color alignment is correct (each of the glasses lenses is a different color, and if you watch it without the glasses, it's blurry).
On newegg, OCZ has a PCI-E SSD that has 500GB or (either 750GB or 1TB) of storage, and data transfer rates of 700MB/s +/- 100MB/s depending on read/write.
Of course, the $1k-$2k price tags might scare off most customers.
At first I wanted to laugh at this coming from Steve Jobs. Then I realized, I think that not drinking soda-pop is healthy *looks at all the cans of pop on his desk, including the opened and half drunk Coke*
OK. Yeah, we don't always do the healthy thing, even if we know what it is. I guess I can't criticize jobs here.
Actually, it didn't read as a proof of the existance of God, so much as, in modern scientific jargon "I cannot continue without the existence of God, therefor, for all subsequent steps I shall assume the existence of God."

What test suite would you use though?

I'm not sure that ME1 is a good example, the vehicle controls sucked no matter what platform you used - the mechanics for it were awful.
I believe they are one of (and the biggest) exceptions to the rule. Still, the rule does have a number of exceptions...
So... malware disguising itself as malware? Brilliant!

OS X, yes but prior the OS X, I tended to call it Mac PsudoOS.
Actually, hasn't apple also recommended running an AV on MacOS X now?
Yes, that's the general answer. Probably not the correct one.

about two weeks ago, Avatar/iMax. The discoloration was subtle compared to the old glasses, but definitely (to me) there.
Maybe the glasses were just garbage.

Do what I do.

Yes, but do any of the others give you the benefit of having your wallet and your ass both brutally violated directly by Sony at the same time?
I'd be worried about it getting stuck in the intestines, since it probably won't do much dissolving.
You can get 500GB+ drives, but not from Intel.

You should have seen the 5.x installer.
The "new" installer, is rather comfy and user friendly in comparison.
Actually, FreeBSDs direct (not just idealogical) ancestors were here long before Linux. FreeBSD itself is younger than Linux.
And you are right, not all Linux users are like that, but I felt like putting my two cents in after Mr. AC who also commented on the same post.
