It has subkeys like 0000, 0001, 0002, etc. Normally 0001 is the primary IDE channel, 0002 the secondary, but other numbers can occur under certain circumstances. Check the DriverDesc value to see which one it is.
Delete MasterIdDataChecksum or SlaveIdDataChecksum, depending on whether the device in question is attached as master or slave, but it can't actually hurt to delete both. Reboot. The drive DMA capabilities will be redetected.
Open Device Manager again and check whether the device is now actually using DMA mode. If so, congratulations, you've made it (at least until the next time Windows disables DMA).
The firefox team has done a great job but there are still many glitches that are a pain at times:
- You have to partly disable video acceleration for some types of content to play properly in some pages.
- Huge memory usage. Memory leaks in some situations but I can't put my finger on what is causing it. (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5)
- Java plugins frequently cause problems.
- Random download manager crashes (Usually with many concurrent downloads, some of them stalled).
Plus some little irks like the fact that if a live bookmark goes down, firefox doesn't notify you and keeps displaying the old stories indefinitely.
It's great software, but it still has a little way to go before it's perfect.
The 81.85 drivers cause all sorts of havoc such as breaking dual screen support on 6800 cards. They rushed out the drivers as an answer to ATI without properly testing them. I recommend staying away from that particular upgrade until they release a fixed version.
False.
I would recommend a really good book for those interested in this subject:
The End of Certainty: Time, Chaos, and the New Laws of Nature by Ilya Prigogine (chemistry Nobel Prize)
basically: what we observe in near chaotic systems is the emergence of a temporal arrow, ie. the temporal symetry of the equations that define the system are broken. The system "evolves" through time. Thus we have the emergence of structure (biological, chemical, etc). This description only appears in a statistical description of physical processes, resolving the paradox of the wave function collapse/Heinsenberg uncertainty due to the observer.
It is not the observer who is responsible, but the way things work fundamentaly.
Anyways, this is a quick wrap up. Search on google for Ilya Prigogine and check out his auto biography (sencond link I think). Fascinating genius.
The particle/wave duality thingy is not to be taken litteraly! It behaves like a particle and a wave meaning that mathematically and physically speaking, you can predict it's interactions by considering it that way. It is a particle as in a quanta, an undivisible unit of energy, emited and absorbed as a block of energy. That's the closest analogy to a physical particle you can make.
MOD this guy up, his arguments are as valid and based on as much logic as those presented above.
Why do we never cry wolf when a joke is about a caucasian person, but speak of abominable racism when color is factored in? A small number of vocal people who think its their responsability to protect eveybody are ruining it for the vast majority. Learn the difference between humor and verbal violence. Damn.
Well it *has* to be file sharing at some point since that's how you exchange info with others:)
Just hosting vacation pics @ 1MB each (2048*1536 32 bits jpegs) for family and friends with some digital videos is easily 10GB a month. Add to that watching some trailers, visiting some picture/video intensive sites, streaming a couple of shows and radio stations pretty much 24/7 and hosting a small website (such as a code repository for your projects) and you can easily reach 30-40 GB a month. The list could go on... ISOs, trial software, patches...
Videotron here in Quebec, I have 4mbit/640kbits cable (get those speeds all the time). I often download over 130GB a month and haven't had any problems yet. The price is quite decent too 80$ canadian all taxes included (about $55 US).
This is the most expensive residential service they offer. They have other types of accounts suche as a 40$ a month 15Gig download 10 gig upload @3.5Mbit/160kbits.
Hmmm that's strange since no one outside their network can use their smtps as far as I know... you are talking about smtp.videotron.ca right?
In fact, I tried sending email through that server 2 weeks ago from the sympatico network and was denied...
Videotron, a cable provider in Quebec, offers 4Mbit/640kbs cable (and it runs at those speeds, it's what I have at home) for 70$ canadian per month, all taxes included...
Downloading at 500KBs and uploading at 80KBs is just schweet!
2700 degrees is the peripheral or heat wave temperature of a "nuclear explosion". Core temperatures go up to about 12 000 000 degrees since fission outputs a hell of a lot of energy. In hydrogen or other type of fusion, the temperatures goe even higher.
the picture with the fatass fan has been online for ages. the one of the video card too. and the rest is photoshopped. Did the poster actually believe this? what about checking out the link before posting a story, it's so damn obvious its a fake. "Hey look im running 5k Volts through my ahtlon and its at 250C.... shit, I mean come on
excuse me, but since when are trolls rated so high? especially since this guy posted another blurb rated 5 about 2 posts down. And they say exactly the same thing.
"Game On offers case studies of specific titles (Pokémon and The Sims among them) that demystify just how games are made. It's not about a single creative genius working alone in some back room anymore."
Anybody hear of John Carmack? Some people don't like Pokemon (come on, it's a yellow sqwishy thing!) ID software is a small group of dedicated individuals that have produced consistently and I think the best games still come from a small core of elite hackers and people with great imaginations. So much for large development teams... It is the game design that matters, not the number of people (look at Romero's ideas of grandeur...)

science still gets some funding. Amongst all the cuts we've seen in the past years, this is excellent news!

You don't have to delete the driver. Next time, just follow this procedure:
o l\Class\{4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Re-enable DMA using the Registry Editor
Run REGEDIT. Go to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contr

About the video acceleration, I've already submitted a few bug reports.
2 13/
:)
The problem is known on the forums, try searching for video acceleration on this page: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=206
Thanks for the rest of the info

Vote for somebody who doesn't support it! If everybody thinks change is impossible, it really does become impossible.

As someone who has worked in a grocery store I can say that the profit margin after everything is paid is 1-2%. so 15% is actually excellent.
