  1. Re:Can you hear that? on Intel Wants To Charge $50 To Unlock Your CPU's Full Capabilities · · Score: 1

    Also computer models such as the sony viao (undercapitalized for a reason) use the "feature" provided by Intel to disallow virtualization through the BIOS, meaning that you have to turn in on before booting.

    The decision to disable VT in the Sony VAIOs was apparently done out of security concerns as determined by their engineers. No details were provided so I can't say if this was actually true or not. (And I'm too lazy to find the link). In Sony's defense,once they realized there was strong demand they did release a BIOS update and promised to not disable VT in future models. Problem solved. I can go back to testing operating systems with all the advantages of VT support.

    btw, why the under-capitalization? Something against Sony?

    That probably explains alot of the problems out there. In Canada there is work experience requirement and it's taken pretty seriously.

    Isn't there a 3 year minimum period of experience required before you will even be considered for an MBA program? Perhaps 3 years isn't enough? Maybe MBAs should be limited to Engineers or a technical field.

    Also it may slow down. Exponential growth doesn't last for ever. We may start to hit the limits of what we can do.

    Have to see.

    I wonder how much we could get out of existing hardware if we put a lot more effort into researching software methods to increase efficiency?
