You're as bad as the guys who wrote that article in the first place. If you don't know how Windows works, please don't talk about it.
Hell, its not just windows. All operating systems do this.. and to be quite frank, programmers of all kinds should have cache techniques well understood. So the GP is neither a windows guru nor a decent programmer. The odds are very good that hes just an I-use-software geek, rather than someone who knows anything about computers.
I got the point. They get insane gas efficiency with a toy vehicle. What I dont get is how they get away with such an incredible misunderstanding of the basics within their "look at us" article.
Next up, the Moyes Litespeed 4-S gets over 1 trillion miles per gallon.
You seem to think that its not a read-only cache. SuperFetch caches disk blocks as they appear on the disk. The "dumping" of them means to not consider them as valid cache anymore. There is no need to write them out.
The reason is because while SATA 3.0 is still barely adopted, we need a SATA 4.0 that is at least 4 times faster at a minimum. Since this cannot happen any time soon, the only solution is a different pipe.. such as the PCI lanes.
The FusionIO boards will never be for the typical consumer, even if they were bootable. They are just too damn expensive and unless they start using a storage medium besides DRAM, they will remain too damn expensive.
Their market is the extreme I/O per second niche, and that niche will never grow to include consumers, who dont need 100,000+ IOPS. They just want more bandwidth, and flash can provide that as well as a more-than-enough (1000+) boost in IOPS (and even today the price point for Flash SSD's, which is way below Fussion's offerings) is outside of 'consumer market' but is a hell of a lot closer.
They arent exactly the same, but come on.. during bootup they are 99.5% the same, meaning that they have all the same I/O interrupts.. they leverage the interrupt vector table at the same location.. thats the table where you install your own I/O handlers during your devices initialization..
I can say for certain that your problem is not incompatible bios's, that it is almost certainly a programmer who doesnt know what hes doing selling you a load of horseshit.
Raid other than RAID0 and JBOD is not for desktop home use. It doesnt make sense because uptime is not critical. The user would be better served by using those spare drives as a backup.
I have to concur. Back when I got my first hard drive, it was a whopping 40 megabytes and came as an ISA expansion card. It was cheaper than buying both a HD and controller separately. They were called "Hard Cards" at the time, and they werent just some novelty high end equipment. They were priced for consumers.
I believe that there will be a true Hard Card revival because of the facts of this current market.
SATA 3.0 adoption will be slow (motherboard with the 6Gb sata are noticeably more expensive) and even if it was to be adopted overnight, it just doesnt carry enough bandwidth. SATA itself is holding back this market. There is a reason that SSD speeds leveled off between 200MB and 300MB per second and its the fact that SATA 2.0 was cock blocking them at 3Gb. Now they are cock blocked at 6Gb, so expect them to level off between 400MB and 600MB per second.
We need to ship new controllers, just like we needed to ship controllers in the late 80's and early 90's.
This isnt to say that the current hard card ssd offerings arent made of expensive parts. They are taking regular SATA drives and raiding them, and good high bandwidth raid controllers are (currently) expensive. A single Intel or OCZ Vertex SSD can max out the throughput on many of the low end RAID controllers (check out the difficulty these guys had finding a raid controller than can do 1GB/sec)
Nobody understands the system. Thats why your wrong.
If anyone understood the system, they'd be able to explain why its not warming right now. Nobody can, tho. We think we know how much energy gets in, and we think we know how much energy leaves, and based on the imbalance its supposed to be getting warmer.. but its not getting warmer.
According to their website blog, they are "rethinking windows performance."
So instead of thinking about what actually effects OS performance, they are rethinking things so that they don't have to sell real solutions to their customers, "where [they] maintain several large installations of our commercial DMS Clarity Suite performance analysis solution."
Use the high-frame-rate camera to take a high-frame-rate video, or use it to take a high resolution picture, but you cant take a high-frame-rate high-resolution video.
The idea is that the light sensitive components have a minimum response time that is too large to capture high frame-rate digital data without tricks. So engineers being what they are use seperate groups of them with staggered capture times in order to achieve high frame-rates. In the simplest case there would only be two groups of senors, probably would be called odd and even, which would allow double the frame-rate of that minimum response time.
What these blokes have noted is that the groups of sensors which capture a single frame are stippled across the capture device, so if the capture times were not staggered then the effective resolution is higher. Essentially they are un-staggering the capture times post-capture in order to achieve that high resolution, meaning that you cannot have both at the time time.
The most they can save appears to be 50%, the cost of a regular high resolution capture device which they didnt get with the their high-frame-rate device purchase.
Climate science is a broad subject that incorporates a number of fields. For instance meteorology, geology and physical oceanography among others.
The person I was responding to was trying to trash the petition on the grounds that the signers were not specifically Climate Scientists. He disagrees that a geologist is an expert on climate. He disagrees that an oceanographer is an expert on climate.
The most important discipline required to be an expert on climate is that of statistics, and this is the big point that everyone seems to keep missing. The most qualified people on the planet to take the raw data (collected by those meteorologists, geoligists, oceanographers, biologists, chemists, and so on) and form conclusions are statisticians. Expert samplers.
The fact that you quote the term "Assessment Report" means that you have no idea what the IPCC does.
The IPCCs function is to produce Assessment Reports, beginning with the First Assessment Report and now up to the Fourth Assessment Report. All of them make both short and long term predictions.
Predictions considered outlandish today were made in 1990 with the 1st report. Maybe instead of being an ignorant airchair coolaid drinker, you could try reading them.
from around 1200 AD to 1890 AD there was less than a.1 degree Celsius change (+/-) in the mean global temperature as measured by proxies that incorrectly "record" todays temperatures

Then yes, I think that it is inevitable.

Then to add to that - NOT ALL BIOS ARE THE SAME.

Think claims of electric vehicles that get over 200 MPG are impressive?
The last thing that I am, is impressed, by someone who doesnt know that electric vehicles dont use a liquid fuel of any kind.

did you even read what you replied to?
You seem to think that it says the opposite of what it says.
How about queue up the idiots who demand that microsoft do a checksum on the files it patches...
..because in their universe, files that have been over-written still contains bits of the old files that will execute and cause blue screens.
If only GalCiv 2 actually had a sensible economy.

Sure, it seems infinitely fast, but it's really not going to get us anywhere all that interesting in a single lifetime.
For the personal traveling at that speed, it most certainly WILL be a single lifetime. In fact, the trip would seem to them to be instantaneous.
It makes block holes out of you.
There's nothing magically evil about nuclear power. Environmentalists should applaud this move.
But they don't.. and thats why they can go fuck themselves.
I think you've missed the point.

First of all, I don't believe any real climate scientists would have predicted any weather details about a period as short as a decade
I guess you are right. The IPCC doesnt have any real climate scientists working on their Assessment Reports.
So which climate scientists are real?
Note to self: Linux zealot will continue to use strawmen after the absurdity of his previous strawman was exposed.
from around 1200 AD to 1890 AD there was less than a .1 degree Celsius change (+/-) in the mean global temperature as measured by proxies that incorrectly "record" todays temperatures
There. Fixed that for you.
The climate scientists predicted quite a bit of warming over the past decade.
Where is it?
