It is you.. What are you using your AMD 750 for? Word? Internet browsing? mp3s? Coding?
Today, you need good computer mostly for playing games, software development (big difference at 1 million lines of code) and scientific research.
Games are no. 1 cause for computer upgrades.. i know i upgraded mine just because of games. (namely BF1942)
many things are bad but aren't illegal.. like guns for example...
Guns kill more people than drugs, but they aren't illegal.. and u can't throw drugs at someone and kill him.
And it's very rare that drug user affects other peoples lives (assuming alcohol isn't a drug, since is legal?). There can be however indirect affects like theft, but those effects would be nullified if drugs were legal, since tobacco stores would sell cheap (heavy taxated) drugs.. drugs would be 10 times cheaper.
And why not? If someone feels better when taking drugs, why wouldn't he take them? Because YOU say it's bad? If someone wants to live such life.. it's his decision. As long as it doesn't affect others..
Drug detection will be just first (commercial?) use of Terahertz rays..
Actually T-Rays are so useful your mind would explode if you even... err.. ok here it goes..
Different kinds of molecules absorb T-Rays of different frequencies.. you could tweak t-rays to actually pass right through metal or whatever you wished. First use of T-Rays was planned to replace X-Rays (which aren't really healthy). They were also meant to be used by airplanes. With T-Rays you could see through fog, clouds,.. anything.. even clothes. However, there's big problem with creating a camera that detects T-Rays..
That's windows messenger, not MSN messenger... The functionality is basically the same.. only that you do not need.NET passport to use windows messenger.
I have 10 years old hp-48gx and you can use algebraic mode if you like.. just enter (3+5)*4... and pres 'eval'. But hardly any hp user uses that except for system equation solving. RPN is so much better when you get used to it...
It is not true that scandinavians have less light through the year. Yes light is not as intense as in southern countries.. and yes they do have even dark days in winter in north of scandinavia (2-4 weeks iirc) but in summer they also have light through the whole day.. so the amount of time when the sun shines through the year is about the same.
Pentium4 has longer pipe and that means slower processor at same frequency. But on the other hand you can run processor with longer pipeline at much higher frequencies.. P4 will be able to reach 4Ghz+ on 0.013um but Athlon64 won't be able to reach even 2.8GHz.. they'll have to switch to 0.009um for that.
But intel made Pentium4 with shorter pipeline.. it's named Centrino aka Pentium-M. It runs at 1.6GHz and is faster (at 1.6) than 3.06GHz P4.
If you're unemployed in US.. you can aswell be dead..
In most EU countries.. it's better to be unemployed than to have bad job. This way employers are forced to pay employees more..
Free education? Free healthcare?
I'm from slovenia.. and anyone who wants to go to college needs only to pass exams (which are equal for everyone). If you (as student) can't make a living.. goverment even pays you to study.
Socialism is great.. but you wouldn't know until you try it...
Actually article says "write code" not programm. So in the matter of fact you write XML code and you programm in C.
I believe that explains some things...
Impendance includes crosstalk. Impendance is combination of resistance, inductance and capacitance. Crosstalk is caused by inductance.
There is another problem with non-ribbon cables.. Length of wires must be equal. At high frequencies you can get phase shift damn quick.
Well Itanium2 is far from great. But it's architecture IA-64 has a bright future. It's much better than AMD's x86-64 and in long-run it is also cheaper.
x86-64 has 100% compatibility with IA32 with all extensions.. and even 16bit 286. Yes, you will be able to run shitty 16bit tetris natively on x86-64. But, do we really need this?
Why don't we just use 'software emulation' for older applications? Those applications are designed to run on slower processors. I really don't see a point why would it need to run natively.
LCD pixels only polarize light in one direction. LCD crystals must be 'excited' by small AC current. If you remove that current, they will not polarize light. There is another static polarizer rotated in 90 angle so it makes it nontransparent.
Modern LCD displays are using faster 'negative' current (in fact it's not really negative..) to change lcd crystals from polarizing to nonpolarazing state. This makes LCD somewhat faster.
However there are few transistors behind each pixel that leave pixel under current. But that doesn't mean pixels aren't refreshed.
That's like saying i get 160FPS in Doom3 because my monitor refreshes at that frequency. I really get 160 images per second.. but they are all the same.
Actually this 'flaw' is because it's much cheaper to make such locks. And masterkeys have been is use for decades by our postmen.
Anyway.. if someone wants to break a lock he will do it no matter what lock is it. But of course this article will not help with safety of our homes and offices. I doubt it will help thieves as well.
It's always profitable by someone. But ussualy not by author of open source software. Even Open Source DDOS client could be profitable. site-X gets DDOSed. it's ISP profits with tech support; site-X needs wider pipe to internet - ISP profits.
Of course someone will now reply with...
1. Create opensource software
2. ???
3. Profit!!!
But that's ok, we're used to it right?
When companies stop making ATA drives they'll get a bit cheaper. When they become rare(which will happen quite fast.. think EDO SIMM fast).. they'll be more expensive than SATA.
SDR SDRAM is still mass produced because lots of things use it. (handheld devices, portable mp3 players,...) And technology is basically the same as DDR's (Actually DDR is SDRAM too). Most such deviuces do not need aditional speed DDR offers.
EDO SIMM is obsolette it isn't used much anymore.. SDRAM replaced it.
There are more risky things you do in everyday life.. like driving a car or walking your dog. 60.000 americans die every year in car accidents. Are you sure you wouldn't rather stay home? But on the other hand... half of all accidents happen at home.
You are supposed to take a risk. If eye surgery doesn't kill you, something else will. Eventually.
pentium 1, yes... pentium4's mov takes 1 cycle too... if data is in cache of course and if there is no page miss.. otherwise it takes even 20 cycles. (but that's same on cisc processors, except there is 4MB cache, where P4 has 512k)
Take other instructions for example... add, sub, shr, shl,.. and so on.. in modern x86 1 cycle everything... itanium will be able to do 3 such instructions per cycle with ILP... differences between risc & cisc are fading...

If i am being teleported... teleportation would create copy of me and killed original.
Too bad worst attacks happened outside US.. we had 12 hour total internet blockage...
You have no clue how LCD works.

You don't need cygwin for that.. just use MKS toolkit.
