Somebody needs to read up on Nyquist.. The ONLY difference that putting more samples onto a 20KHz waveform makes is in the frequency range above 20KHz, which you cannot hear. Adding more resolution than needed to reproduce a 20KHz signal doesn't do anything in the audible range.
Um, register starvation has absolutely nothing to do with wanting to go to dual core. Never mind the fact that other companies like AMD, IBM, etc. are also moving to dual core.
Some phones are worse than others. I have a Siemens 2.4GHz phone pretty much right next to my router, it's never caused any problems. It's a frequency-hopping spread-spectrum phone though, which is less likely to interfere with other devices (or have other devices interfere with it..) I think some of those 2.4 GHz phones are actually analog..
If i recall correctly, that feature effectively uses double the spectrum space, or basically all of the 802.11 frequency range. Therefore you wouldn't be able to change it off of channel 6 (i.e. the center frequency) since then the sidebands would be outside the allowable frequency band..
I seem to remember some nasty discussions between some wireless chipset manufacturers (was it Atheros and Broadcom?) about the impact of such speed-booster features..
Often the reason these games won't run as a limited user is that the copy protection software needs raw access to the CD drive which would be unsafe to allow for a limited user..
The slowness of those GI boxes seems to depend on the program guide software that gets loaded on them. The DCT-1000 boxes Shaw used to use were really slow with the previous crap software, but now they've got a new program guide system that's much better and faster. Makes you wonder what the hell the code was doing in the old software..
The Motorola/General Instrument boxes they have around here don't control the output of the box at all, either analog or digital. That's done entirely though the TV or amp the box is connected to. The remote defaults to controlling the TV's volume when you use the volume control on the cable box's remote.
I think it may actually have the ability to control the volume, but this is only intended for use with a crap ancient TV that doesn't have a remote..
It doesn't make any sense to control the volume of the digital audio output from the cable box. The volume should be adjusted from whatever that's plugged into (i.e. the surround amp).
The traditional IA-32 architecture makes no distinction between "read" and "execute" permissions on memory pages, therefore any page that can be read that can be executed.
There are some hacks that can apparently be done with code segments, etc. to approximate execute permissions, but the real solution is separating the read and execute permissions, which is now possible on newer CPUs like the Athlon 64 and some of the latest/upcoming Pentium 4 chips.
I've never seen a Pentium II that didn't have USB support on it.. it was on all Intel chipsets that supported the CPUs that I know of. Maybe some crap VIA chipsets didn't have it, but those aren't nearly as common.
I think that floppies have gotten less reliable in recent years.. It seems like the disks become unreadable and the drives fail a lot more often than they used to. Likely because the drives cost about $10 these days..
It's amazing how the reliability can be that poor given how low-density they are, but I guess having no error correction will do that..
Windows XP already does this out of the box - it arranges the files needed for system startup and application startup so that they're arranged contiguously on the disk.
Speaking only for GM vehicles, but since the 80s all of GM's vehicles have used metric fasteners, unless the part concerned is a carryover design from before they changed over (of which there may still be a few..)
It's impossible to use an analog modem over a digital cell phone, because the compression algorithm used for voice mangles the modem signal. The data has to run directly through the digital network for it to work.
A modem could potentially work in analog mode, though at no doubt painfully slow speeds..
I believe that somewhere (Europe?) there are phones available that can work as both a cordless when in range of the base station, and a cell when out of range..
IE functionality is deeper in the OS, but it definitely is not present in the kernel. Things like shdocvw and mshtml are core components of the OS, but do not run in kernel mode.
Linux does now have support for non-executable stack on x86-32 ( see http://people.redhat.com/mingo/exec-shield/ANNOUNC E-exec-shield ). This works by changing the limits of the process code segment to disallow execution in the stack area. I'm not sure if this has been merged into mainline yet or not, but this patch is included in the Fedora Core kernels, for example..
Unfortunately the big capability that's missing from that is NTFS write support - Linux doesn't have proper support for writing to an NTFS file system, which is a common use for Ghost..
I figured out what I was meaning to say there - on NTSC the correct term is actually not YUV but YIQ, apparently the color vector axis is different from YUV used on PAL. And apparently YPbPr is different in that YUV/YIQ is amplitude-limited to stay within the analog PAL/NTSC specs, while YPbPr is not. Apparently there are some differences between YPbPr and YCbCr as well, but those terms are often used interchangeably.
As far as connectors, North American gear has nothing like SCART. YPbPr component video is typically connected with 3 separate RCA plugs.
Well, last Red Hat machine I installed using the default "workstation" settings has both of those installed. It could be that some of the other installs (minimal, etc.) don't include them, but I certainly didn't specifically choose to install them.
Unless you're being pedantic and don't consider Linux to be a flavor of UNIX(tm)..

No-execute protection still does something on CPUs not supporting hardware NX, it's just not quite as effective.

The Corvette doesn't use a solid rear axle. You are probably thinking of the Camaro..

How exactly did you manage to associate PCI Express with one expansion slot? Not to mention that (echo) PCI-X is not PCI Express..

Except that Fedora's update packages are basically arranged the same way..
I think "most" is hardly accurate - the only ones that break are buggy ones that were previously abusing the threads API..
