Unless you reserve caching/on-chip memory or whatever in a manner that benifits Quake 3 benchmarks, but can have a negitive impact on general performance.
I seem to recall a long standing argument about GFX card drivers being 'optimized' to perform well in the standard performance tests e.g. Quake 3. Couldn't find a link on google though.
When you cousider that the universe could be infinatly old, managing to say that it's no older than 29 billion years and no younger than 11.2 billion isn't bad.
Hmm... That does seem a bit small. 1: there must have been a few big stars go bang to make all the elements of the earth.
If the Earth is 4.5billion years old, then the solar system must be say 5 billion years old, how quick do large stars explode? must be say 1 billion - 3 billion years tops
What about when you get GBit to the door over fiber.
You'll have to upgrade the wires at sometime in the next 50 years I expect, though it shouldn't be too much hastle and should always be quicker than anything else (unless you're using wormholes)
And each key is tested how? using 2048 bit math, And how pray tell do you do that on a 32Bit processor, would it possibly be about twice as fast if you could use chunks of 64/128bit instead of 32/64 bit. hmm.........
the main overhead is the 32bit -> 2048 bit maths for each check 64bit ->2048 bit should have about half the work load and be able to check the whole keyspace a lot! quicker.
While I believe that 'Agile processes' are the best way to develop software, he appears to be advocating anarchy.
When you have a lot of people all making little changed everyone starts to loose sight of the Big picture and you run into a Too many cooks spoil the broth.
I'm sure a lot of people who read this site have seen a lot of code and design, and probably a lot of horrific code and design, well enough said.
This is a usefull task for 64Bit machines.... Each key check should take about half the time, because SFAIK the main overhead is the 32bit -> 2048Bit math conversion.

What on a windows box? ok I get it...... I've fixed aLinux drivers and helped with the screaming at a hardware vendor to get a driver fixed. 'yes it is your [piece of shit] driver'
I always though that most computer companies, IBM, Solaris &co made most money from support, not software of hardware sales.
Few companies are and where in the pure software game.
Install[piece of crap] shield is a good example. You more-or-less have to go on a training course to use it, coes the documentations crap, it's a freek piece of software etc... (I'm not sure why people ever used install shield to start with)
umm... when you can 'buy' linux. SFAIK Linux ain't for sale.

Where do you work? do you have an internet connection? Has it been hacked yet? would you know?
I worked for a company like that too, now I work for a big company with real sys-admins, everyhthing runs ok, until there's a problem. Problems are normally solved as follows.
Format the HDD and reinstall windows et all. The problem's gone, but another one's reappeared, faff around for a while.
Do the format re-install again....... time passes.....
Systems kinda ok but crashes a bit hmm... sys-admin goes and one of the programmer freeks (often me) has to find out what's up and fix the problem (kinda the job that should have been done in the first place).
It's not too hard if you can understand the BSOD and poke around untill you find out whats up (usually a driver)

Hmm... I hate those 'buy my book' sites.
Books come from book shops, (or at least are browsed at bookshops).
You can usually get the information for free 'well if you gratitude is worthless' if your prepared to search a bit.

That's the 1 forground image, the rest would have been taken with a very dark filter on the camera.
Have yuou tried konquror,
You can bring up a shell in the bottom of the file browser window.
Ok, but you could pull out all the cat5 from the conduit you put in and run fibre(or whatever) if you want to.
Wire/Fiber etc... should always give a better performance than Air because it's better at propogating electromagnetic waves.
Idealy a comparison should be made against the benchmark tests supplied by the GFX card manufacturers.
The cards usually come with some demos to show off the cards, the demos should be tweeked to give the best performance out of their card.

optimized for what, Quake benchmarks.

Are you sure? what it the main overhead?
Let p and q be prime numbers and k in (p-1)(q-1) be coprime with (p-1)(q-1)
C= M^k (mod pq) = encrypt ( k and pq are public)
M=C^k' (mod pq)
where k' is the multiplicative inverse of k in (p-1)(q-1)
So to find k' you need to know p and q which is done by factoring the public key pq.

So, I brought a new PC and payed M$.

Well, I don't know about the US, but in the Uk most jobs arn't 'advertised' there put through agencies.
