Porn is the LAST thing you want in HD, seeing the flaws just ruins the illusion. It's the same reason porn lighting tends to be much more soft and mellow than many blockbuster action films.
I wouldn't call it MUCH lower, it's lost about 7.5% vs the dollar index in the last 6 months. That is significantly faster inflation than CPI but that just shows how small a percentage of the total economy imports are.
Actually I can see where scattered reads are FASTER than contiguous reads, if you can read from multiple physical chips in parallel that would probably be faster than reading from adjacent cells in one chip.
Scales of economy, there are a hell of a lot more notebooks made then thin clients. Also when the alternative to running an X11 thin client is running a full blown Unix workstation the cost justification for even a relatively expensive thin term is easy.
Yep, every time one of these types of conversations happens I point to this story. If a CF card can survive having a building collapse on it with just the protection of a commercial camera around it then I think that something engineered to survive should have no problems.
Actually with modern tech shouldn't both boxes be recording BOTH sets of data so recovering one of the two gets you all the facts? It's not like a couple hours of voice and telemetry data would require a lot of flash storage!
Better would be to auction off a bunch of spectrum and block all current last mile providers from participating and banning them from acquiring the company that wins the auction. Imagine having a fully independent third provider for last mile service, I do and my bill is significantly lower because of it (in my case it's an overlay cable provider but a national player would be nice). Simply selling their assets to a current "competitor" does nothing to help the consumer/citizen, it only fattens the wallet of the acquiring company.
Actually the story I read the other day said that a primary aim was to remove sediment from the bottom to open up rocky spawning pools that have been filled with sediment.
Cold Winter? 2007 was the coldest YEAR in almost a century. I know and reinforce that one datapoint does not a trend make, but I don't think any of the computer models saw a sudden cooling coming so I'm still skeptical about their long term validity (yes I know you can often trend things better over a long period then over a short period but the climate models are trying to model the biggest system we know of).
Ok, so it's my fault for driving in the ideal fashion rather than the fault of the idiots not paying attention to, you know, driving while they are operating a 1-2 ton killing machine?!? I'm sorry but other peoples stupidity and gnat like attention span is not my fault OR my responsibility. Perhaps you are right that I am making things worse because other idiots are stupid but for the same reason I like my webpages to be written to standards instead of caving to the popular but broken IE I prefer to drive in the correct manner.
Notice the words non-gridlock. The highways around NY aren't that bad during non-rushhour times, of course for NY rushhour is 5am go 11am and 3pm to 7 or 8pm =)
Yep, there's a stretch of highway near my work where the road goes around a sharp corner then reduces from 4 lanes to 3 which empty into two different highways with the middle lane being able to go to either destination road. The fast lane almost always comes to a dead stop right at the turn but the "slow" lane full of semis keeps almost the same 50mph pace they were always going. I follow the trucks until I get a nice opening to the middle lane then take that lane to the left exit. This has shaved nearly 10 minutes off my morning commute and has greatly reduced my pre-work stress.
Actually if you're following at the correct distance you shouldn't need your brakes in all but the most extreme situations like getting cut off. I know I try to minimize breaking most of the time and in non-gridlock situations I can keep from touching my break pedal probably 80% of the time when the car in front of me touches theirs. It requires looking several cars ahead and easing off the gas well ahead of the ripple location but if more people drove like this I bet most of those stupid sudden stop points could be eliminated.
Does it? I don't know the Windows kernel and the EFS layer well enough to say for sure but my understanding is that EFS uses a hash of your SID and your password to do the public key crypto. I know if you change your password a couple times without touching your EFS volumes you can lose access to the files if you don't have a key recovery agent setup.
Eh it was the recent changes that caused a crudload of work for me and even now it's still making work because any server that's rebuilt without the patch will have the wrong time. Add to that the fact that older versions of java don't have the DST patch built in and it adds up to a lot of things that need to be checked before each change. Sure at this point it's just a matter of firing off a few batch files and checking the results but it's still like 30 minutes of work twice a year and it was probably 20 hours last spring developing all the scripts and patching all our servers.
Qlogic makes cards too, their Silverstorm 7000 is similar to the MHGA28-1TC in that it supports dual 4x links, but because they are basically a duopoly there isn't much price competition. Actually it's quite similar to FC where there's Qlogic or Emulex.
You keep talking about recoding apps, YOU DON'T NEED TO. There is a standard for IP over Infiniband. It's not as performant as native Infiniband protocols but it DOES exist and is in use. Besides without a dedicated specialized processor and gobs of buffer memory your typical server isn't going to be able to keep up with 10Gbps Ethernet let alone anything faster.
You're apps don't talk to Ethernet, they talk to your TCP/IP stack! There is an IP over Infiniband standard which is supported by most HCA's and it's even fully offloaded to the HCA processor. IPoIB isn't as efficient or low latency as native Infiniband protocols but at least you don't have to recode your apps =)
And the reason there isn't anything faster is that it's such an incredibly niche market, the number of sites that need greater than 1GB/s on a single link are very, very small. Heck the storage for even big servers is generally only 4Gbps per link as 10Gb FC is still astoundingly expensive (Cisco 10Gb FC blade for instance is $60K for 4 ports) so it's cheaper to just put a couple 4Gb cards in and get additional redundancy for free.
If you really need greater than 10Gbps then go with Infiniband as you can get 12x HCA's that will do 24GBps (48Gbps full duplex). But if you're paying $50 for 10Gbps ethernet you're not getting offloading and your CPU's are probably swamped of your TCP/IP stack is the problem. I would suggest getting a pair of offloading 10Gbps cards and seeing if you don't see a huge improvement.
The problem has never been the glass! There is absolute craploads of dark fiber just about everywhere. Last time I saw stats it was something like less than 1/3rd of installed fiber was lit up. It's the uber expensive routing equipment needed to keep up with the flood of data that's the expensive part.
Not allowing the extensions to be multithreaded means that you've lost most of the benefit because your extension threads soon become single points of contention causing the multiple browser threads to stall.
You can use reparse points to use a single root point for all local resources and DFS for a single root point for all network resources (across all computers in the forest). IE \\localhost\c\DDriveFolder is a reparse to a second volume which could have alternately been named D:\ also with DFS I can present any number of fileshares as a common rooted namespace with the ability to provide arbitrary distribution and failover. In fact I do exactly that to collapse a number of file servers into two at DR without changing the way people work of access their data.
