    The OS does not make your computer run! An OS is an interface to the hardware. Electricity makes your computer hardware run. A computer will work without an OS, your computer runs code in your BIOS before the OS loads.

    No, Explorer is the shell in windows, you can delete the IExplorer.exe and your shell is untuched! IExplorer will change many of the .dll's that controle how Explorer looks/feels but is not your shell, you don't even have to change the UI when you install a new version of IE. Here at my work we have 4 NT 4 servers with the 95/NT4 look and IE 5.5.

  7. VNC on 56K Frame on How Much Bandwidth Does VNC Require? · · Score: 1

    We have 10 remote sites and use VNC to admin well over 100 boxes via 56K frames. The speed is not too bad if you set to 8bit color(even on our 1300 mile frame.) But then VNC will use just about any amount of bandwith the you provide it. I've seen it suck up most of a 100mb connection.

    Some people may claim that this is because the people I've worked with never had the advantage of working with PCs in school. While this may be true, they are also the same people who have been working with PCs during the course of their jobs for the last 10 years, and they've managed to learn almost nothing.

    Same here, we also hire many high school students that cannot even trun on a computer! I was a techers aid for two year in a high school computer lab, pepole just don't want to learn how to use computers. They only want to say they had the classes and thats all most employers ask.

    Unless there is a load between the source and ground, no work is done and no energy is consumed.

    Not true, there would be no load, but even under no load the alternator(don't belive me take one that is not hooked up and turn it.) The power from your alternator is free in the way that you pay for it weater you use it or not.

    Drive around town with your A/C on full time and tell me that your gas mileage doesn't completely suck.

    Your A/C compressor(some use up to 15hp) runs off its own belt drive, it has a clutch to turn it on and off.

    Let's hook up a thousand 5 watt radios to your car and see if the alternator can sustain that load. You will most certainly consume more chemical energy (gasoline) to maintain that load.

    Wrong, ask any one with a high power amp in there car, you will use battery power if you go over what your alternator puts out then your car will stall when your battery dies.

    Sit down and shut up.

    400Mhz DDR not 800Mhz!

    133Mhz DDR not 266Mhz!

    Hum let's see 400Mhz DDR and a 16bit data bus works out to 12,800, and 133Mhz DDR with a 64bit bus works out to 17,024. Both use Havard type architure(data and address over the same bus) this is why SDRAM has a lower CAS all of the addres information arives at once RDRAM takes 4 cycles to transmit address information, the lookup can only start once all the address information has been recived.

    Are your retarded or just can't read?

    RDRAM 400Mhz DDR with a 16bit data path 400x2x16=12,800

    DDR-SDRAM 133Mhz DDR with a 64bit data path 133x2x64=17,024

    this is the max data throughput fot both types of memory, only adding chanels(or speeding up the bus) can increse the data rate. RDRAM has a smaller bus(fewer traces on the PCB) cheeper to add RDRAM chanels than SDRAM.
