seriously, your brain cramping because the truth is extreme and its easy to just psychologically deny it, but do the math 200W under load / 1.33VDC core voltage = 150 Amps! Your house probably has a 200 Amp panel, the two are comparable current wise; emotively you'd expect the computer to turn into a china-syndrome pool of molten metal.
here figure a 375KVDC line running the same 80 Amps as your computer PSU does at 5 VDC means you're controlling 30 MW I know controlling 375KVDC at 80 Amps isn't trivial but neither is controlling the same in AC
hopefully you programmed things so if the accelerator_actuator object hasn't heard from the speed_control object in a while it returns to an idle mode rather than bizercko autonomus vehicle peddle to the metal mode, like the Princeton guys did.
Yeah the decision up-mod or reply, you'll probably come out alright in metamod so I'll post. While I agree that using a new single source technology is much more likely to encounter problems than a more mature solution multi-sourced technology would; the problem was the normal Good'ol Miscroshaft stuff is for sUx0rs but that these guys made a newbie mistake and when they discovered their shit was weak they tried to wezzel around by sticking in a cheap ass work-arrouund rather than trying to fix the real problem. The symptoms were classic for a unreleased resources death spiral, real programmers would have been embarrassed to admit that that problem existsed in public; My name is Bryan Cattle.

I have, photographic enlarger bulbs are fairly expensive, and the 60 cycle pulsing can cause color shifts when printing so rectifing reduces the pulsing to a slight ripple, makeing it much easier to get the colors correct. They did have selenium rectifiers back then nasty things with a toxic failure mode, and not very effecient.
I used to live just down the street from where Tom Edison grew up, the college did an archeological excavasion of the site and found chemical bottles in the basement taht probalby belonged to Edison. The train station still exists where he used to sell newspapers on the train between Port Huron and Detroit and track is still used as a spur to the paper plant. My Grandfather was an engineer for the Detroit Edison Company and I have some of his texts, where they shown the engineering behind vintage the 600 VDC power systems as well as the AC
No, your regular computer power supply does not provide hundred of amps - tens, tops, and that is for a really power hungry system on a 110VAC line. Switching power supplies prices scale up rapidly with increasing power output. I didn't say anything about the "power supply", I was talking about the Motherboard, which feeds electricity to that power hungry CPU, taking in the 5VDC at 20 Amps and convert it to 1.33 VDC at 60 amps per unit
The latest CPU voltage-regulator specifications from Intel and AMD call for load-current slew rates of 50 to 200A/sec and peak currents of 60 to more than 120A. These demands are transforming the design of portable power supplies to levels almost like those of utility power. Designing high-current, VRM-compliant CPU power supplies
Now we have multi-CPU and multi-core CPU; that easily hundreds of amps on a MOBO; it mind boggling but your computer might be consuming as many amps at 1.33 volts as you4 entire house at 225/117VAC.
DC power is absolutely, undeniably the best electricity to operate incandescent light bulbs on. On AC the filaments in the bulb vibrate and heat and cool at line frequency leading to early failure due to fatigue. That is probably why Edison was so enamored with it.
The corruption of the meanings of those two terms is the basis for our present lose of freedoms. The communists were good at changing the meaning of terms to suit there agendas, Republicans and Democrats both learned a lot from them, as well as the MBAs in the business world.
you can't really compare AC to DC, AC consists of a varying voltage and current so the equipment must always be able to withstand the peaks, the the user only gets the benefits of the rms values not to mention the problems caused by the inductive load on the circuit causing shifts in the power factors. At the same voltages and amperage there really is no reason why AC is better than DC except for slightly different corrosion patterns.
Why there are plenty of switch power supplies in your computer, some of which are outputting hundreds of amps on a mobo costing a modest amount seems like that could scale or even old fashioned motor-generators in the substations.
If the bogus claims are unarguably shown bogus, the M$ will not be able to trade their invalid patents for valid patents. This looks like a technique they prototyped in SCO's "Linux" licenses where they promise not to sue for stealing something that they didn't own without mentioning that they don't own it.
Dude we're the ones holding the tasers now, we be the man we were rebelling against; Don't trust anyone over 35, parking on the left is now parking on the right, you bet your bippy!
Spell checkers are over rated, mine doesn't even recognize common English words like "whatkinda", "fucktard" and "dipshit", how can you communicate with your rep without commons words like those?
The whole Idea of a wasted vote is getting pretty pathetic anyways; when was the last time you didn't rationalize your vote by something like "at least it wasn't as bad as voting for the other guy"? What people need to do is not vote for the lesser of two evils, but demand that at least one comes up to neutral. I'm not doing it any more, I'd rather turn in a blank ballot than vote for a Republican or a Democrat.
So your saying that all of the nefarious things the NSA could do if they wanted to in their little secret room at AT&T, is going to be done by AT&T themselves for profit, I think you might be right. That would explain why they rolled over so easy, let the NSA spend the money to do the risky trial run so AT&T would know if it were possible before they even started.
My best guess is they are planning to insert something into the frame, probably a sequence of colors at a particular pixel location. The robustness of the system is mostly marketing hype pointed a C-level PHB's, I fail to see how anything could be robust when I can split off the audio change equalization on the sound bust out the individual frames tweek the gamma and contrast and reassemble and encode to a different format.
If you say X is like Y, and I say OMG think of the children; A good analogy is the only way to penetrate an emotional reaction so the person with whom your arguing can access the logic of your argument. An analogy is ineffective if I am rationally evaluating your argument and find I don't agree with your conclusions or think your premises are erroneous.
Vobile's core product is a screening technology that it calls "VideoDNA." Like other systems of its kind, VideoDNA develops a unique signature from every frame of video. The signature is meant to be robust enough to survive various transformations and edits, and it can then be used to run matches against incoming content.
Not to mention, how much processing power will AT&T have to spend on analyzing our packets? If they do this with video packets by identifying fingerprints on the fly, I guess I've found someone with deep pockets to sue the next time I download a virus!
I don't see any possible argument for Comcast not providing 100% of the service they are claiming to. Their commercials plastered all over the cable channels repeat things like "Unlimited", "faster downloads", "download music faster", "download video faster" and what I'm finding is invisible caps and my music and videos all but blocked; hell my grass-roots political brochures are being blocked by the same software as the despotic communistic Chinese government uses to suppress politics in their country.
they are actually blocking BitTorrent well no I just fired up ktorrent at 0645 local time it connected to a lot of peers, send one or two packets to each then the connection closed wash rinse repeat. It's really pathetic, 0645 isn't prime-time or anything so why not let the traffic pass unmolested, but right know If I leave my peer seeding, the initial handshaking over and over is probably eating as much bandwidth as send the real traffic would. I could cut them some slack if they were doing the 8-10 AM and PM to save some bandwidth for prime-times, but they are just wholesale blocking now.
What pisses me off the most is that they will lie to you over and over, a simple yes or no question and they lie. They could say yes, they could say no or they could say I don't know or even I'm not allowed to say, and I'd at least feel they have some respect; and I'm not talking just about Comcast.
If you are real serious about uptime then you'd have enough heatsink to cycle from primary utility, secondary utility and backup power twice. We just build a new jail and after it's first blackout, the primary contractor said to the county "If you wanted the toilets to flush during a blackout, you should have spec'ed it." These cretins though that the admin areas and the electric toilets would be on the same backup generators as the secure jail areas!
This is not possible when there's a -10F blizzard outside. Shit man what would they do in the winter when it gets cold, in a lot of places -40 -- -50 are typical winter temps.
A Windows workstation is an oxymoron, a workstation by definition is unix or Linux based as in a Sun workstation. I have trouble even considering a x86 cpued computer a workstation even an operon is a stretch to me. Windows runs on commodity computers, workstations are not commodity computers.
