Microsoft has a responsibility to provide a system that can recover from buggy subsystems or applications. Perhaps multiple files, or even a simple journaling system would have been a more effective design.
What's wrong with that headline? She is a PhD student, she was able to deduce what properly lay under the black marks, and the uncovered material was classified, probably at a fairly high level.
Some years back, I remember watching Jurassic Park II on DVD. At one point, the TRex invades a video store. I watched that scene pretty intently, not because it was a beautiful scene, but because I was intent on seeing if Speilberg lampooned his own film oevre.
Had I been watching a DiVX rip of the same scene, some of that extra information would have been lost.
The advantage of a lossless codec is that if a listener wants to, he can pick out interesting details. He has the option of listening, somewhat distracted to background music, or of fully enjoying the music.
Now, if one is coding up some algorithm while listening to music, odds are strong that the music is emanating from unspectacular desktop speakers. But that's okay, because the listener presumably is concentrating on some other matter.
But if the listener chooses to enjoy his music in some other space, he can also choose to admire that fantastic decay... the sudden three dimensionality of the soundstage, the shear expertise of the guitarist...
True, that listener can choose to open up his CD collection. But it's a lot more convenient to use that centralized music server with the 10TB HB.
My iTunes folder is 5GB. I have an 80 GB drive, which means that 6% of my available space is devoted to storing about a thousand songs. Reasonable, no?
6% of 10 TB is 625 GB. You can store nearly 10,000 uncompressed songs in that allocation.
ah crap. didn't read the date. sorry. Must have wandered in here by mistake.
There's a view in ethics that one should not decide a moral dilemma merely on the situation, but by basing the decision on some moral principle, which presumably binds one's decisions in other, future dilemmas. If, shortly thereafter, one finds that the moral maxim results in a contradiction, there is an implication that the original decision, being based on a flawed moral principle, was in error. As a corollary, one should think about the implications of the proposed moral principle before relying upon it.
If one releases oneself from the obligation to devise moral principles, and not just pragmatic solutions, one runs the risk of rash decision.
Of course, there are legitimate reasons to bypass this slow plodding analysis, but the supreme court derives much of its legitimacy from careful consideration.
From my understanding of MP3 compression and others, the compression protocols take advantage of this frequency masking, so if humans can't hear it, it removes it.
Ideally, yes, But codecs aren't perfect. Thus the need for testing.
Ah well, in a few years, bandwidth, space, and proccesing power will be such that lossless compression will be the norm. Then, we can can argue over whether the recording engineers are competent, whether 16bit/44.1KHz is really enough to capture the subtleties, and if you really can hear the tram cars outside the concert hall.
Early depictions of Hitler were often comical caricatures. Chaplin's film The Great Dictator lampooned him, for instance.
There are several possibilities.
1. Bush is adopting the mannerisms of an idiot in order that his real motivations will be concealed, and his actions will seem less devious. 2. A lack of wisdom and a simple mind make him easy prey for those in his administration who lust for power. 3. He's being mischaracterized by an overly critical press corps, and his mannerisms are close to True American Values (tm).
That's bunk. The Supreme Court decided who they wanted in the Presidency, and tried to construct legal reasoning as a fig leaf. If the court believed that their reasoning could stand up to serious scrutiny, they would not have included this brilliant waffle
Our consideration is limited to the present circumstances, for the problem of equal protection in election processes generally presents many complexities.
The supreme court derives its legitimacy from the practice of respecting precedent, and not just deciding cases on mere whimsy. In this instance, they went with their whims, and decided not to construct a viable legal doctrine.
AGP3.0 allows a core-logic implementation to provide multiple AGP3.0 Ports. Each AGP3.0 Port is a bridge device with multiple AGP3.0 devices hanging off the secondary bus. Each Port has a separate Graphics AGP aperture and GART that is independent and not shared with another AGP3.0 Port; however, these are shared across the devices within a single AGP3.0 Port.
Big Mac was tested in a small 128 node configuration as a prelude to the full 1100 nodes.
The 128 node cluster was benchmarked at ~80% efficiency, or ~1.6 Teraflops. The final cluster achieved a RMax of 10.28 TFlops, ~60% of the 17.6 TFLOP theoretical peak.
A 6000 node cluster would be very difficult to manage.
But Virginia Tech's cluster doesn't use Ethernet as its primary network. It uses Infiniband. As for the cost not scaling linearly, ask yourself whether Big Mac's performance scales linearly.
So reading those dreary processor reviews at Tom's Hardware is really a waste of time? Pages and pages of comparisons between the P4 EE and the Athlon XP-- and all for naught?
Cool. I'm going to pick up a cheap PII 233 with my next GeForce 6000 card.

Ah, but perhaps he's using a reductio ad absurdam proof. Let's keep watching and see if he finds a contradiction.
