after upgrading and tuning hundreds of machines. ( literally hundreds ).
Your thumb ROCKS! I just took a laptop, that a user dumped, Running XP. Max is 256MB. No more. Fresh load of W2k, and it runs like a champ.
I agree with Mark Russinovich, that Vista is a great kernel. But all the other garbage on top of it, makes the whole package utter crap. Vlite should be the product of the year!
Water intoxication is dangerous, but it takes very large doses( like 20~30 gallons over a short peroid of time ).
The purity factor is something else. A friend of mine who was setting up a lab got a 9s and 11s filter system. ( He is a PhD in molecular biology ). The reverse osmosis stuff I drink has 0.5ppm ( or about 6 sigma's in purity, 99.9999% Pure ) I asked him about drinking the 9s ( 99.9999999% pure stuff, and he said "Dont even think about it." It will pull all the salts out of your esophigus, Its slightly acidic, but very, very reactive. Like drinking very high contrations of alcohol. Ill stick with the reverse osmosis stuff thanks.
The guy who told me about snow in the desert, was Chuck Yegars weatherman.
The main point that I see, is this is not a breakthrough, but just some portable solution. Since I only drink reverse osmosis water, I bet the taste test will tell, its got to have some by product in it, or they'd ship it up to the space station to piss in.
I was willing to bet it never snowed in the desert. How wrong I was! Anyway, the point is that dew collects in the early morning temperture rise, on cold objects, that dont heat up as fast as sand. ( i.e. metal ). They are colder, like a soft drink glass, and gather moisture.
There are really accurate things said here about reverse osmosis, but only 2 people mentioned water from compressors, which is used a lot in desert regions as not potiable/drinkable, but when distilled is. ( Of course the problem is, its expensive energy wise, but recent off the grid guys are driving compressors with...solar cells...
Dont say the word 'FAT!' Just the thought of all you hippos crawling out of your polyester tarpolins is enough to make my oatmean hit the wall. <Beginning of rant> They need to make the doors on airplanes much smaller so that FAT people have to ride in the cargo bin, or better yet, load them in with the sissors jack they use for the food, and shove them in their own creche...right next to the food, so they dont have to get up to eat, or go to the bathroom. How do FAT people go to the can on a airplane, Im skinny, and I barely fit. If you need to take up two seats, you sould pay for two seats and the ARM REST. <end of rant>
Hey: "If there is even one empty seat on the plane, then the plane is not booked, and the airline views it as I was just using what would have been an empty seat, and they refund the cost of the second seat." Good idea, or rather GREAT IDEA! Mod +1 interesting!
History has judged things diffrently. The P6 Architecture, from the Pentium Pro 133(Proto),150,166,180,200,233OD to the Pentium III Xeon, scaled the clock speed quite nicely. The Pentium Pro was unique in its Cache. The Pentium II just put that cache on the die. The Pentium III was just the next simple step in the evolution ofthe P6 micro architecture. ( Dont misunderstand my contention that the Alpha chip was VASTLY superior in every way ). The only thing Itanium shares with the Alpha is its failure. Alpha was from the ground up, the processor of the future, and far ahead of its time. Eventually, everything it was, will return to x86 architecture.
What do you put on the gravestone of someone killed by a gravestone?
WATCH OUT?
What do you want on YOUR Tomb...EEYYAAA <<Crunch>>
What would a disclaimer look like?
"You enter this grave site at your own risk. In the unlikely event that you are killed or injured by a falling grave stone, We are NOT liable for a replacement or to provide you with one."
Hehe! Yep. You know them. I had memorised the first 100, after my older brother used to say "Its as easy as PI 3.14, and rattle off 20 or so digits, so I looked up the first 100 digits, memorized them, and waited for the moment...
Later, when I was taking calculus, I calculated the error in calculating the diameter vs the circumfrence of the observable universe. With 20 digits, your error is less than a kilometer. ( This was the Umm.. older model of the observable universe. There have been a lot of breakthroughs since then ).
"Of course, once you go that route, some fool is going to Godelize it and hand you a shoestring that says "This number can't be written out on a shoestring".;)"
genau. (Gr. Exactly ).
"Diese Zahl can' t wird auf einem shoestring" ausgeschrieben;"
But, I was only looking for a mapping of string encodings that gave me Aleph-Zero one-to-one corrspondance. ( I have never seen a shoe with a Sqrt2 numbered eyelet, but I am not Imelda Marcos. )
From SAMPLING! and you dont know PI, like I know PI.
The one Im talking about?
3.14159265358979323846264338327950288...
So, just in the first sampling, we have
0, 1 1, 2 2, 5 3, 7 4, 3 5 4
Etc... So we can encode the combinations in the following way.. top eye, skip 3, skip 1, skip 4, skip 1, skip 5, etc...etc until all the laces are in eyelets. It would appear to be a random ordering, but it could easily be reproduced. BUT we can start anywhere in the digit sequence, and encode from there...giving 2 trillian combinations, BUT we can arbirtarly assign the digits 3 to be a slip tie, and 2 to be a square tie. Add more complicated ties and encoding, and you far exceed the 2 trillion methods. ( in fact, my method would be 2^12 + 1! )
I am not an Apple Fanboi. I just call them as I see them. Geez, Harp on the Dell! its a FREE Dell 8200 1.8 Pentium M, ( Northwood, Family F Rev 2 Stepping 7) and I run it in powersaving mode. I rather not be up to date, since that would cost $. and a lot of it at that.
I keep flash in check, and run only the animations I am interested in.
It seems is if you have a PC Reality distortion field. ( a diffrent strain of the virus )
As for the FREE Apple iBook G4 800Mhz, It has a lame graphics chip. Quartz does not actually run on it since the performance is too low, hense Apreture doesnt run. Did you know that? ( iBook G4 is a Rage 128G ). But the G4 performs better than the Dell NV17M (GeForce 4 MX 200 ). 150nm, 221Mhz. ( just so you dont think I cannot tell a potato chip from a computer chip. )
Im just wondering now, how much money you have wasted on your C2D? ( Its not up to date like you say, probibly more than a year old, but then again its a Centrino chip, so its really a gelded C2D ).Hmm You dont specify anything either. Do you even know the stepping of your chip?
Total Cost for my rigs: G4 iBook $0, Dell 8200, $0, Expression on a loud mouth trolls face? Priceless.
I dont have the problem of having to believe what I post. I just copy the information right off the screen. Dosen't need interpretation, but it was interesting to see your personal definitions of 'interesting' and 'troll'
Absolutly WRONG. Limited only by string length, since you can alternate slip knots with square knots, you can form coded sequences. If you can form coded sequences, you can code both random numbers and irrational numbers. If you can code irrational numbers, like Ummm Hey whats that double T Symbol at the icon for the story.. Umm.. ok Pi! If you can ENCODE PI HOW MANY COMBINATIONS OF DIGITS DOES PIE HAVE?

I never heard that Rock Band uses the actual recordings. I always heard them as a bunch of session guys. The sound of the instruments is certinly diffrent.
Where are the tapes?
Looks like you'll never hear Creedence Clearwater Revival on Rock band. Fantsy records owns the rights, but has none of the recordings, but the'll probibly get some session guys in, if Fantsy drops their pants.
A ?Bank? owns it? I dont see a bank doing anything with it other than bleeding it to death with the cheapest advertising, and getting every last dime out of it.
Did you know the servers for Third party servers for Nox are still up? and the servers for Dungeon Siege (Microsoft) are dark?
Shuush! Your giving away all the secrets! "When I install Windows on a new PC, I always create 3 partitions: An inner partition of 5 - 10 GB for a fixed size swap file only, then an OS partition, then an applications partition, and defrag regularly. I can keep my machines going for many years without much performance degradation in this manner."
I create that partition that is only 1.3x Ram, and never run out of swap space, if I use a ram manager. ( and a cluster size of 64K ).
"Even if you are scrupulous, bad software and bad uninstall jobs will eventually bloat out your system a little bit." I have yet to meet a machine that has not been significantly sped up by the VM/Swap partition. Disk optimization goes a lot faster too. Old 800Mhz machines come to life! ( better living through Windows 2000! Its finally Maturing! )
Exactly. Good Observation. I have deleted the JavaUpdater, the Acrobat Updater, The AntiVirus Updater, Turned OFF the windows Updater "Service." What kind of "Service" Takes 95% of your CPU? Havent they heard of 'Nice?'. Oh, Now I just throw their priority down to 1. Scheduler is off too. BUT, I have to run the Updater on Update-Teusday, ( I use my other laptop on that day, it gets its orafice inspection the next day ).
Oh and Java? That Pig-slug? Every time I get an update notice, I just delete the whole thing, optimize the disk and re-install. I have too. It was taking over 1.2GB with 5 patches!
I found out that StandBy return times were being killed off by Flash. I reverted to a much earlier version, and have had no compatability problems, and StandBy now brings my computer back in less than 5 seconds. Hybernate is fast too, about 30 seconds.
Ok. The primise of the article is complete and utter BS. If your compter DIDNT slow down, you wouldnt buy a new one every few years. If they wanted to make a comptuer faster, they would just line up all the files it needed to boot, one after the other, OH WAIT, that is how the Amiga did it. OH WAIT! That is how Mac OS X handles its updates.
Just take a gander at BootVis, and see what the load order is. There is a Linux utility that does it, that is one of the best programs I have ever seen. Now those linux people, who optimize their boot times? They are serious. They work hard at it, and have made significant progress.
I have never seen a Windows XP system boot in 18 seconds, even with a dual RAID 5 controller.
