You have to always weigh in the statistical outlying data. A point that doesn't conform to the given data is very important in the overall result as it shows that the initial reasoning could be flawed. Any statistical book which tells you to ignore it is incorrect, you can't just throw out a result that has the potential to change the data result, that isn't a good scientific method approach.
I don't normally support Microsoft but in this case I think they're innocent. Excel might have a small error but why isn't the work being duplicated on other statistical programs like Libre Offices spread sheet or programmed using R. For the work to be valid it has to be reproducible across a wide variety of programs and measurement techniques. I call this one in the name of bad form, just switch programs and the problem could go away.
If your dumb enough to eat magnets or if you're to young to know better and someone lets you eat magnets then it's not the magnets fault. We need to stop getting rid or dangerous or potentially dangerous toys because retarded kids and sorry excuse for parents don't pay attention. What's next, do I have to get rid of my bench power supply's? They can push high AMP's out, so a kid could hurt themselves or an adult. Do I have to get rid of high power computer fans because a kid could stick it's finger in one? The answer should and better be NO! Stupid people and bad parents shouldn't lead to product recalls, if you raise your kids properly and if you pay attention when they're young then it's not an issue. I say let the "dangerous" products exist and use them to "weed" out the stupid idiots in society. You'll get one or two people who by complete accident get hurt and didn't mean to but for the most part you'll quickly find out that many people are still at an evolution point of crap throwing ape's.
Hmmm I'm getting 270 on the high end on each card with out pushing a hard over clock, they are slightly overclocked. I'd rather play it safe, I'm not trying to make any real money doing this.
No one could of foreseen this, except EVERYONE who didn't work at Microsoft. How many posts, re-posts and overall negative comments were released about Windows 8 and the new design. When you have a system that works style wise don't change it.
The best idea's are one that just come to you, I can't even count the number of times I've figured out the missing part to a piece of code well eating dinner or having a beer. People that claim it's better to sit down and put all your mental energy into one task are just fooling themselves, they don't want to admit that it's better to just relax and let the ideas come to you. If you have to over think a solution it's not worth it. Google has created a system where employees are free to think openly and freely and at the same time who aren't forced into cubical's / offices and made to work pointlessly. Most if not all the projects I work on, I work on this way, I still get everything done in the same deadlines and I produce the same if not better work overall.
Your right! We had to use a system like this in College where after the essay was done we had to submit to a service called turnitin, basically it checked for plagiarism and correct citing / sourcing of work. The problem was it didn't work and ended up causing more trouble then it solved.
For one class in particular we had to write an essay about critical thinking and source it based off what sourcing method our department used, In my case we sourced using IEEE and so I told the professor that. She looked up at me and said "IEEE isn't a sourcing / citing method! Use APA or MLA", the next day I came back to her with proof that IEEE is valid and it's what my department used and hence she had to let me use it on the essay.
Before I handed the essay in I had to "turn it in", the problem was the site didn't understand IEEE format and didn't understand much of the wording I used throughout my essay as it was heavily technical, the service gave up marking my paper and just gave it a prefect 0 score as in "So clean and un-copied it truly is an example of wonder and amazement", sure enough the professor was pissed and talked with me about it. She had to manually mark my paper and check it herself, only to find that it was okay and I didn't copy it, it took her an extra few hours but she became a professor knowing the work load so I did't care.
My point is these systems don't work, there horrible. They can't mark a paper correctly, it shouldn't matter if I write the paper from the stand point of an engineer or the stand point of an abstract artist, if the service can't adapt it's broken.
Ya that never works with me, If you say don't think about cheese cake, don't think about the power rangers, don't think about a bomb then after I read it I just wont think of any of that stuff. Before you think about something you have to process the fact your going to think about it, so just stop before you do and you'll be good to go.
Before you you tell me that I'm not the average person, I know at least five other people who "think" the same way, just don't think about it period!
No, but if your going to make the joke then it has to be taken seriously. You made a really bad taste joke and now you have people who have to think you have a bomb on you, which sets a number of actions in motion. So how about before you make that joke you just stop and think about it, then instead make a knock knock joke about oranges and banana's. Extreme lack of judgement is a huge issue and if you lacked to the point you made a joke about a bomb I don't think any reaction is to much.
I think it's unreasonable, I would never say it, my girl friend would never say it, my family would never say it. I'm sorry but if your willing to say things that outrageous before thinking then you need to deal with the conscience.
Lets be clear that a joke is not "I want to kill everyone and everything" which is the same as saying "I have a bomb". If your want to threaten everyone's life even by a joke then why can't someone threaten and carry out an attack on your life? After all it just started as a joke.
Saying silly things is one thing but saying "I have a bomb" or "I'm going to blow this airport up" is another. Saying "Fucking asshole, you stupid idiot" is more of a normal response to getting stressed and mad. In the later case you haven't threatened the life of everyone in the airport and the surrounding area so you'll get lip back and off you go. In the first case your going to get hit with policemen, charges and if all that happens is you get removed from the airport count yourself lucky.
There is no difference between what you can say when your thinking straight and when your stressed, it's not a flip switch where the law will just consider a stressed out message as "Oh he / she didn't mean that, it's all good", people who are stressed have done things ranging from blowing up building, shooting up schools, committing murder and etc.... So if your stressed and want to make a pronounced threat then deal with the fact your going to get backlash.
The TSA should just say back "I have a gun" and fire at the persons head, the sooner we can weed out the mentally dysfunctional ( that WEREN'T born that way ) the sooner we can start regaining intelligence.
But the schools need to making the push and getting kids active in to stuff, the school should start showing videos like this and start teaching relevant electronic's material, of course anything over the 1 hour of work the average teacher puts in a day would just kill them.
Glad you clearly missed the point then, the entire thing I'm getting at is moving this kind "lesson" into the school system. Digikey was around years ago to, that doesn't mean schooling helped you make use of it, We need to move electronics down into the grade school system along with programming, these are essential skills for anyone to pick up.
It could be in the school system but if the teachers can't teach it then fire them. I'm very jaded against teachers, at least up in Ontario it seems anyone can get a teaching degree, settle in and not really work a day in there lives for the rest of it. If this is in the school curriculum then teachers should either have to adapt to the current standard or leave.
I had horrible teachers growing up, they were under qualified, over religious and just plan morons. Most of the time I was teaching them and the rest I was getting headaches from trying to listen to the steaming crap coming out from them. There was one small course on electronics in grade 6 I remember where the teacher couldn't answer a single useful question, she taught it for 2 days and that was it. Probably one of the most useful courses ever taught but not taught well enough to count for anything. We also had computer courses which really just meant the teachers sat in the corner telling us totally incorrect facts about computer operating and structure.
So if this is in the school system and teachers can't teach it then fire them, a good teacher is worth 200k a year but most really deserve about 15k a year and that's pushing it.
Why is this annoying? Not because it exist, because it wasn't around when I was younger. The closest my teachers ever got to an electrical circuit was turning on the light switch. I think it's about time we move basic electrical understanding down into the grade school level 1-8. By the time a student is in grade 8 they should at least understand the fundamentals of binary logic and be able to write a simple program using ASM or C, or another "teaching" language. I'm just pissed this wasn't around 15 years ago, This is something that should be a required section of courses in school, just like history, math and English ( granted my English is a little rough ).
Another great feature from Rim, not surprising after working for them. At the start of a development cycle, sit down, write down all the bad ideas and good ideas, put them in a hat and pick.
The formal definition might not be correct but logically if you have all the information being mirrored then you do have a backup! Well many people wont agree and I'm not saying they're wrong, having a Raid setup does give you a "copy" of your data and therefore means you have a backup. A backup good enough for what I need, well it might not suit the business world, it does suit my house perfectly.

With two 5830's in XFire I can hash at 520 MH/s, will this increase that?

You designed a broken system that remained hidden, now that it's out fix it!

A packet can't arrive before it's sent, If it could then in theory it would be possible to have communication without a source.
I completely disagree, a backup is an N > 1 version of any data.
The formal definition might not be correct but logically if you have all the information being mirrored then you do have a backup! Well many people wont agree and I'm not saying they're wrong, having a Raid setup does give you a "copy" of your data and therefore means you have a backup.

Raid is a backup, if you have drive mirroring going on then you have an active backup at all times.
