You might have a little bit more look into the fermi archetecture. Based on http://www.nvidia.com/content/PDF/fermi_white_papers/NVIDIAFermiArchitectureWhitepaper.pdf nvidia's white paper, and assuming a clock speed of 600mhz, i.e. in line with a GTX 280, they are looking at 1.5 Tflops of DOUBLE precision computing power. Nvidia is making a hell of a push at multi-threaded supercomputing. Not to mention some crazy cache sizes.
I'm sorry, but the gains he is talking about are simply unrealistic. Lets do a little math shall we?
If we take a rather thick installation of AS5 at 0.015 inches and assume the contact area is a square with sides of.75 inches (it will be larger), his CPU is disapating 100 Watts(probably higher than it is), and we take the advertised number for AS5 at 8 W/m*K, and you end up with a thermal circuit that takes 13 degrees to cross.
He claims to have a new thermal compound which reduces the temperature by 14 degrees. Now lets take a look at some more realistic numbers... 1 sq in area, 75 watts, 0.010in thick paste, same 8W/m*K and you get a tempeture delta of 4 degrees to cross.
Furthermore, when we start looking at websites that have done reviews of thermal pastes like [url=http://hardwarelogic.com/news/137/ARTICLE/2752/3/2008-03-03.html]IC Diamond 7 Carat[/url] and they show a range of 1-2 degrees difference between AS5 and the paste it makes it hard to belive.
For a little more background, perhaps we should consider what is going on here. We have some material that is being used for thermal conduction, silver or diamonds, and to that we are have a material it is being suspended into. Thermal conductivity of silver is over 400 W/m*K and artic silver which is made from pure silver plus the suspension yields a conductivity of 8 w/m*K. The idea that exchanging that for something with a thermal conductivity of somewhere between 900 and 2000W/m*K is going to yield a paste with orders of magnitude better thermal conductivity.
So based on that, I'd like to call shens. If he made a mistake with his numbers or he faked them I don't know, all I know is the numbers he is reporting are outside the realm of reality.
I couldn't give less of a shit if someone wants to photoshop my face for thier own personal gratification. If they attempt to distribute it, well then I'm sorry but my likeness is protected and I will sue.
"There are plenty of companies and people that pirate software in the United States, and massive numbers in places like China"
Except we aren't talking about china, we are talking about the united states alone.
Yes, microsoft made 62 Billion in revnue, however that is world wide not america alone. Big surprise the worlds economy is bigger than Americas.
Furthermore, 1 download or 1 chinese bootleg does not mean 1 lost sell.
And for the record, I've NEVER seen a company with the resources to purchase SAP pirate it.
"In fact, one study reports that each year, copyright piracy from motion pictures, sound recordings, business and entertainment software, and video games costs the US economy $58 billion in total output"
You understand the only thing I didn't include in my numbers was "business and entertainment software" when comparing to his numbers? Somehow I don't see that sector being larger than entertainment, or even close to it. 1,000,000 liscences of photoshop or autocad only amounts to 2 billion in sales, and clearly every college student would have bought his copy of photoshop if he couldn't pirate it.
A quick google search will land you at a link to http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/07_32/b4045001.htm That article, while talking about pets, states "Americans spend on the movies ($10.8 billion), playing video games ($11.6 billion), and listening to recorded music ($10.6 billion) combined"
So according to the RIAA and MPAA we spend 33 billion on movies, video games, and music combined but some how piracy is costing the American economy almost twice what it actually spent on that industry? I know they inflate numbers, but this is beyond hyperbole.
Another google doc scripting vounerability has been found in the wild today. Researchers are still unclear why google thought they were smart enough to implement safe scripting. This marks the seventh nuclear missle fired by google docs this week. The goverment has decided, grudgingly, that perhaps switching to google docs was not the smartest move ever.
What is in your job description? Is documenting the network part of it? If it is, then clearly you need to document it as they are paying you do to that, even if you are to be outsourced. However, if it is not, then you should think long and hard about your options, and remember IANAL.
1) Document it at work anyways.
2) Document it at home making sure work does not even know it exists.
3) Do not document it at all.
If you have a real fear of being outsourced, do number 2 with instructions that upon your death (i.e. the bus) it is delivered to your work. You could also hand it over when you leave of your choosing, this will help you with references in the future. If you are fired or outsourced, and asked about it in the future, the answer is "I normally would have, however it was specifically not in my job description". And as you didn't document it on company time, there is nothing wrong with that answer.
I do not know the legality of the above, remember IANAL. I have all ways left companies because of my choosing and it has allways been part of my job description.
Yeah, sure just as long as you ignore Quake Wars, FarCry 2, Left 4 Dead, Devil May Cry, Prince of Persua, Mass Effect, H.A.W.X., World in Conflict, and many more and compare a stock card to the max overclock of a card.:rollseyes:
Does anyone play an "adult" videogame to explore the human condition. Heck no. It's all about juvenille self-indulgence. Real adults are far past that stage and have no real desire to subject themselves to unsavory sights and sounds.
Doesn't matter. NOBODY'S rights ar being infringed because someone chooses to watch smut or play smut or any of that crap. The second you start saying it is ok to ban or censor anything based on your opinions of something you are legislating morality. Which is fine of course, as long as your in the majority.
Or we could pour some chlorine in the gene pool. If you don't find it worthwhile to take the time to keep your software uptodate and keep your machine virus free then viruses are the result. It's high time we stop allowing bad genes to breed.
Ok, so I'll just convince Windows 7 my writeable media is notwriteable and it'll autorun my viruses right? Hell, if I can get admin rights to an unopened e-mail, how hard should it be to disguise one media type as another?
It's not maxing everything and getting 60 FPS. It's getting 25-30 fps at "high" (not very high) at the high resolutions with no AA and only 8X AF. I game at 1920x1200 and I'm hoping to move to 2560x1600 soon. This won't begin to satisify my "needs".
If it is really $6.85 to double the bandwidth of everyhome then, let's add a 6.85$ charge to everyone's bill every month and if we start with a 10GB cap the first month, we'll be at 41 TB in a year.... Oh, yeah this was actually about greed and not bandwidth wasn't it...
Exactly. Within a company people are unwilling to do anything that doesn't directly help thier own department or more specifically thier own metrics. It doesn't matter how good it is to anyone, they are all conserned with nothing but thier metrics.
For all of those people who think it doesn't matter when you submit an e-mail to TWC on an issue such as this. Or post on the internet, I think it's quite clear that it does in fact matter.
If you didn't send in an e-mail, perhaps next time you should.

I for one, welcome our new tuna overlords.
Lets face it, super food will eat you, besides is obligatory.

Yeah cause they killed all kinds of people before 1990 when all they had was paper.
Then there will be no problems with this technology!

And it's still slower than a GTX 285 OC edition. Ghz != Preformance. And Nvidia, stop renaming your cards damn it!
It's roughly 1/2 of thier last dividend, which puts it into the "won't even make us report one quarter of loss" category.
Does anyone play an "adult" videogame to explore the human condition. Heck no. It's all about juvenille self-indulgence. Real adults are far past that stage and have no real desire to subject themselves to unsavory sights and sounds.

Only if you want a secure browser with mouse gestures and if you think passing the acid test is a good thing.
Ok, so I'll just convince Windows 7 my writeable media is notwriteable and it'll autorun my viruses right? Hell, if I can get admin rights to an unopened e-mail, how hard should it be to disguise one media type as another?

Can the ruling of sealing the documents, both sealings, be appealed?
The engine? And the fuel lines? And the tires? Come back to the real world where metal and plastics are still king.
