How much do you do with your computer. Try running 15 tasks at once. Also, a program should never crash the OS. That crap was supposed to stop with the i386, but MS still hasn't gotten it quite right (albeit, it's better, but not by much).
More memory == more latency, because of power distribution. Unless it's registered, but that drives up costs and power comsumption (and therefore heat) and runs a cycle slower per transfer than non-registered, I believe.
It would be nice to see a graphics card that could utilize system memory using an AMD-64 style setup (built in on-die mem controller) at the same speed as the processor does. I would be more than willing to buy an extra 512MB and dedicate that to video (much like the aperture setting in the BIOS) than have the card running on a bottlenecked AGP port.
I guess Hitler also helped the U.S. government by providing a helpful scapegoat too?
Times were different, the USA was more isolationist and simple 60 years ago.
I agree that just being dormant after such an attack is a bad idea. I agree with the veracity that GW used to attack the terrorists, but not sure how much I agree with the method. (I can't think of a "better" way, but I know the way that it's being handled isn't the best). Look at how simply the PATRIOT act was passed, right after the attacks began.
When you can make the common man look like a criminal, then he starts to back you up, lest he wind up in prison.
I don't think they are controlling our beliefs, they're simply making sure they stay in their power positions.
One last thing, our voting system is so flawed that it's almost laughable. Come on, Gore won the last election (please note I didn't vote for Gore, and wouldn't want him in office, but he did win, fair and square). Electoral votes are silly, it basically means that votes cast for the losing party in any state are worthless. That's no way to elect an official.
Illinois has the same crap, and they've actually made examples of some people importing goods from various states/countries and not declaring them. Use tax my nut, most people don't even know about it, and those who do (read: me) don't bother to tell them. They won't see a plug nickel ever.
Yeah, and the gevernment uses that as a fuel to perpetuate thier power. Terrorism is a great fearmongering device and I don't think Osama knows how much he's helping those in charge by threatening American citizens (unless he does, but I don't wear THAT much tinfoil:))
Why thorw so many people in jail? Obviously, most are criminals, but some crimes don't deserve jail time, however, when you have criminals, you have control. You can't govern a good man.
Ok I looked it up, the Lyra has a 16-bit 16MHz chip I believe, this is the closest I can come to finding the correct microcontroller (the actual is an NEC uP784036 as I've been told. Can't find info on it).
Looks like I'm SOL as the old saying goes. I could always try to write a fixed point system, but that's more work than I care to do, especially if it ends up being too slow.
What's sad is that you're more right than you know. Remember, the only way to properly govern a population is either by their total understanding and cooperation (yeah, right...) or fear. Fear is the tool today. Criminals and boogey men and terrorists, they are not so much your enemy as those who use their actions as a guise to "protect" you from these modern dangers, all the while making sure you are slowly losing control of your environment.
Not only that, I bought my RCA Lyra some years back under the stipulation that they were going to upgrade the media formats it could handle. They only included WMA, and quite frankly, WMA is garbage.
I not only demand open standards, but I demand upgradability. I want to be able to put an Ogg decoder on it. Why can't I? The thing isn't even supported by them any longer, and they obvoiusly don't really care if I have it or not. I don't see how giving out the ability for me to put my own decoder in there would really diminish their ability to sell these things...
Man, does nobody use the API anymore? Not to troll or anything, but you just can't beat Win32 programming with the API. (The API is not great, but better than MFC or any functional equivalents that abstract your code that much further).
Don't feel bad. Boston is probably the hardest city in the US to navigate. NYC is cake, London isn't too bad. I've only been to Cambridgeshire once and never to Lancashire, so I'm not sure how nutty those are, but Boston was made by a group of drunks, I swear.
Goddamnit, why the fuck can't Microsoft just go with a standard instead of wasting our time and their resources developing proprietary shit that can't possibly stand the test of time. I assert that MS hires the most short sighted people on Earth.
Seriously, you're dead on. Quantum entanglement is not the whole of the computer, and the states aren't just 0 and 1. There's a number of quantum states, not just two. And I'm pretty sure the computer works off of an averaging scheme, in a chamber of gas where values are assigned and reported with lasers (a purely quantum device).
That's pretty sneaky, I would easily skip over it in a simple review.
I honestly believe that C needs to always warn when attempting to assign inside of a conditional, even if it's parenthesized (new word? I don't know). I know it would be annyoing, but there are numerous bugs where you accidentally put
if (x = 0)
instead of
if (x == 0),
it's too easy to make a typo when the assignment and comparison operators are so close.
I believe TNT is a version of nitrocellulose. Basically it's gunpowder mixed with nitroglycerin, the gunpoweder acts as a stabilizer, but is still easy to ignite.
I'd also state that the writeup was a little too vague. Also, wouldn't using metal up the capacitive impedence? I'm not a full fleged EE, so I admit I could be mistaken, but I know that it's a killer when it comes to driving high frequency applications.
Yeah, if it's not pure, which I doubt it was, then the amount you consumed was probably a lot lower. Those MSDS sheets don't lie. They are dead on about adrenaline, and nicotine. A drop of nicotine, under the tongue, is sure death. Just the act of inhaling adrenaline is potentially life-ending.

I don't care if it's even replaced by VB.NET. All I'll have to say is DIE COBOL DIE!
I'll be glad once that language has taken its dirt nap.

By misspelling 'quiet', you garnered 2 more karma points. Good work.

Motherfucking goddamn shit ass jesus christ, every part of my body hurts just from seeing that.

Why'd they need a database? Just keep cycling through addresses and drop the ACK.
..Mr Game and Watch on there. Or else it's just another gimmick :).

Does it react the same way with GaAs?

Was it pure?
I made the original point in the first place, so it's all just one big happy misunderstanding :)
