My question is: is it CPU only or can it be run on the GPU? And multi threaded or single threaded? One of the main reasons I stopped running BOINC and switched to Folding, is that BOINC projects are almost all single threaded CPU tasks, they just decide to run multiple tasks at the same time. I'd much rather complete a single task in 2 hours and get a new one immediately, than run 8 tasks for the next 16 hours.
This reminds me of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5, where they rushed out the game because the license was about to end, and only finished the tutorial and park editor on the disc, with the entirety of the game finished by patch.
I would love to know how to recycle properly, but nobody can codify the rules. It changes not only state-by-state and town-by-town but also by what company does the recycling. And they don't even tell you what's recyclable; instead of telling us a plastic code, it's by shape, which makes no sense. Wouldn't it all be shredded during the recycling process? Why would shape even matter with that? And instead of separating types, they simply combine everything and sort later on, which might make sense in transportation costs, but is immensely more costly down the line. They did this to themselves by enacting bad policies!
ditch the whole UWP idea entirely for all anybody cares, HTA with new branding is still the design failure it always was.
You're thinking of Electron - Electron is HTA with new branding. It is literally nothing more than a copy of Chromium with a built in website, just like HTA.
I still like the Safe Metaphor - the safe manufactures don't give backdoor codes to law enforcement. Instead, you have people in law enforcement learning how to crack the safe. What needs to happen is either law enforcement learns password cracking tools and the like, or more likely to have a separate branch, that specializes in password and phone cracking, which each law enforcement, from local to FBI, can send the items to with the corresponding warrant.
Take the chip off your shoulder. I was just recounting what happened with my own mother's death. I was very specific that I might not know what I was talking about, as it differs state to state, country to country and situation to situation. I was not trying to refute your info, but instead trying to add my own to the discussion. So, again, take that chip off your shoulder and calm down.
As I understand it, when a person dies, the assets and debts get put into the person's estate, which is managed by the executor of the estate, usually a person's loved ones. It takes time to deal with a person's estate, often requiring things to be done in a specific order. What happens if the debt is larger than the person's assets depends on the state and situation. Anything that's under a joint account needs be paid off, but accounts that are obviously her's and her's alone are questionable. In this case I think he was interested in paying off all of her outstanding bills, but was in the process of notifying all creditors about her death, which will close her account and then will be paid later on by her estate. As I said, things need to be done in a certain order. And again, this is just as I understand it, which may be wrong or different from anyone else.
Except that Apple doesn't use ARM-designed cores. They make their own.
Uhhh... Yes they do - all of the A-series chips used in iOS products are ARM Based. Meaning they license the ARM chip design, modify it, then send it off to be manufactured.
Thanks for telling me it's OBVIOUSLY, given the name, a hardware based software compiler, which automatically compiles it on the fly using it's own hardware.. If you said that to me, you would be completely WRONG. Not only is that already in existence, it's very costly and often has no real benefit for the expense. From the article: "Essentially, POSH aims to create an open-source library of silicon blocks, and IDEAS hopes to spawn a variety of open-source and commercial tools to automate testing of those blocks and knitting them into SoCs and printed circuit boards." So, the article says it's a library of Open Source SoC designs and a layout tool to put these SoC's together. While I think the layout tool is interesting, it's going to be hard to get traction on the open sourced design elements.
I've been trying to understand what this actually does and after reading the article I still don't understand it! The name Silicon Compiler is confusing beyond belief; traditional compilers convert programming languages to assembly, so a Silicon Compiler seams like it would convert different assembly languages, so code would run no matter the architecture. The article seems to mention new ways to wire the different architectures, making me think it's a computer aided architecture design using AI, but then mentioned open sourcing the architecture design. So I come back to you: What the hell does this "Silicon Compiler" actually do?
Am I the only one who's thinking of what it must be like for the people in the cars? As it's coming up from behind, it's impossible to know what's going on and people will freak out. Just imagine driving and suddenly you're enveloped by something above you, the entire car suddenly dark. It would spike my blood pressure! It should fail on that alone.
Now if only there would be an CinnBuntu/Ubuntu Cinnamon Edition, we can get rid of Mint Linux all together. The only good things that differs it from Ubuntu is Cinnamon and Multimedia Support. Outside that, we have nothing good, just security issues and problems with updates being held back for no good reason.
It has to do with different ways of creating a GUI (graphical user interface) within Linux and BSD. If you truly want to understand it beyond that, look at the wikipedia pages for X Windowing System and Wayland Windowing System. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
I like in Northern New England, and worry about winter weather when it comes to my tires. Normal tires I worry about how it interacts with things like snow, let alone these; 'normal' all weather tires tend to pack snow in the threads and make it seem like you're driving on bald tires, so I need to research all weather tires based on winter weather performance. When I'm dealing with cars, safety is number one on my priority and drive-ability is number two. While efficiency is important, its much lower on my priority list than most things.
Just make it more like FedEx and UPS - Instant Tracking where you can see what city its in, at every point of the way (updated every few hours). Then get every mail-order company to offer it (amazon, newegg, etc)
Other options include having a new class of mail cost for companies like Netflix and GameFly, where they charge a laddering fee per amount of mail (1000 letter, 3000 letters, etc) - may already be in place as I dk much about these things.
Force those companies (netflix/gamefly) to redesign the mailers for their machines/redesign the machines for their mailers. (reduce overhead while charging fees in the meantime)
They need to either reduce overhead or increase revenue. They've been focused on reducing overhead, I think they need to focus more on increasing revenue - branch out into other areas in the mail services field.
I don't see what the fuss is about. As a student at a business school, I understand the lingo.
Basically, they want to share customer info with parent companies and other subsidiaries of the parent companies.
In this case, Verizon Wireless is a subsidiary (separate company owned and operated by parent company)of Verizon. They want to give info to other Verizon companies, such as their home phone company/division and their DSL division.
This will help with tech support big time.
Worst that will happen is some guy trying to sell Verizon long distance plans with your Wireless service. I don't see the big deal.
It has nothing to do with ActiveX anymore (if your using the Silverlight player)
Netflix uses Silverlight 2.0. This announces that they completed Moonlight 1.0 (Silverlight 1.0 spec). Currently, Moonlight 2.0 (Silverlight 2.0 spec) is in pre-alpha and is slated to be finished in September 09.
Wait - its toshibas? Nowhere in the article does it mention the type of computers. I don't think a toshiba laptop is worth it's circuit boards. (you try coming up with something witty with 2 hrs sleep) At my school (college) they sold toshiba's until they wised up and finally brought in Lenovo (IBMs). Most of my friends have problems. Mostly it has to do with the fact that Toshiba don't know how to do cooling/heat dispersement within laptops. Couple that with parts that fail all the time and a warranty that makes one pay for things already covered... I'm really glad I ignored their offer of on-site support and got my IBM Thinkpad T42 (had to convince my mother, as it was my highschool graduating present). Oh, and for those who want to know what toshiba model I'm talking about, its the tecra m3 series.
While I have no idea about real alternatives to Adobe programs. I use photoshop when I have to do photo editing and still write HTML by hand in notepad/wordpad. The one I truly know about is PDF editing. I use PDFill ( www.pdfill.com ) for most of my PDF needs. While not open source, at 20 dollars US, its a steal. I mainly use it to fill in documents where the idiots who created them (local government mostly) made them so its locked down with only the ability to fill in lines, but no lines put in to fill in. Apparently, it makes the pdf a background image so its easy to fill in. I don't know if that helps, since it most pdf creation has nothing to do with that.
-DeAxes
PS, I'm just a happy customer who has to deal with stupid local government because of grants and such
It may be that I watch way too much "Law and Order" and CSI (the first one only), but unless the judge is trying to make a example out of him (like in the Fatty Arbuckle case), the circumstancial evidence is prob nothing more than hearsay about how the sister or whoever hates his guts and other stuff that is to distroy his character. Unless you have real evidence, you can't prove anything. They are prob just reaching for more info, when they have nothing at all. For all anyone knows, she left town with a boyfriend or got depressed and off'd herself, or something of that nature. Although we'd like to believe that it's innocent until proven guilty, people are judged really quickly (it's our nature).
I don't know about Windows, but with Macintosh, (10.4) I have it setup with a internal HD in an external enclosure, then have the a free program made by Lacie called SilverBackup (or something like that). With my Windows systems, I manually back it up with an external hd. Honestly, if your on windows or linux, you are either knowledgeable enough to manually backup or deserve to manually backup.
My favorite games were the SCUMM games from LucasArts. Now all they make are StarWars games, nothing original like Sam and Max, Full Throttle or any of my other faviorate games.

While this is mostly for desktops and is very inflexible (only full copy or 1 folder), Lacie's SilverKeeper does incremental backups and is free.
