HDs were exploding in size in the late 90s becaues of the replacement of coil read-heads by thing film heads based on quantium magnetic resitance effects (sounds better than just GMR heads). That ended quite a while ago.
We were stuck at 250GB for _years_.
Pertenticular recording could give another boost the next years, maybe an order of magnitude, yes, but the last 5 years HD were very slow in progress.
Well, C`t tested raw converters, recently, and they came to the same conclusion: The RAW engine is just bad.
And yes, RAW processing is ALL about "looks good instead of being acurate" (i.e. non-linear response curves to please the eye, sharpening, noise reduction, ect). A plain reproduction would just look like crap.
It just doesnt matter... A cpu will work at 50C exactly the same as at 40C. It just shouldnt cross the maximum temperature allowed.
Just notice that those coolers alone cost near as much as an amd stock cooler WITH the sempron together, so you might get an idea why the stock fans arent that fancy.
Well, thats an idealized MODEL, but hardly realistic for a center black hole of a spiral galaxy.
It MAY be possible that a black hole in the center of a dense cluster is non-kerr, but not very likely. Angular momentum REALLY wants to go somewhere, you know...
I hope you are joking if you call caesars cde "obscure".
Just like the wheel or fire, being old doesnt make it obscure or uncommon. In fact, everybody who ever looked at the puzzle page of a newspaper will know it and how to break it...
I was wondering on that myself, as i would have expected a "core" cpu to be even faster.
Just for those who dont know, improvements in the "core"-core are stuff like twice the shedulers, superscalar sse-x with duplicated units (so 2 identical commands can be committed per clockcycle, no only combinations) and 4 integer units.
But as much as i like those spec, the naming SUCKS. Yeah, the core architecture is new, but shouldnt be confused with the architecture of core duo, which is a dual core cpu, in contrast to amd dual core cpus which ar eof couse not core-cores... ARG Why the hell redefine common words?
Well, maybe then dvi should take a look at your eyes. If it looks "fine" to you that just means your vision is crap. (You cant argue the signal properties of those cables, so please dont even try)
actually, scaling down the problem (1/50s the speed, 1/1000s the distances) makes things MUCH easier, and this system is very much viable... even though its not a force field.
Its more or less an metalstorm style supershotgun...
I am quite sure that in this case " " " (damn, how to you quote a quotation mark?!) should mean arcseconds.
Of course, then it ISNT geometry at all, but using a known formula (as its not THAT easy to unfould the path of light through the telescope onto the ccd including corection lenses)
You seriously overestimate the IO of the 70s big iron... They might have had supports for lots of connections... of 1200 bps terminals. Just compare that io to several Mbyte/s via usb. Bluetooths alone could be used to tunnel 100 terminal connections....
Like the others said, no they arent, and it would make no sense to use this kind of runway to start a new ring.
Because maximum speed already has to be limited by course design, the runsway is to narrow for any kind of courves with suitabl runoff area, and a straight "high speed" course would probably kill a driver each race at least...
I mean, i wanted to say even the biggest crap gets a few 100 people of the 100s of millions in the interweb that will come together and circlejerk all around. While the fan-patches solved some of the issues, most of the stuff ( including the "black box" ai engine they left in because the ai programmer left the company a year before release and none of the retards had any clue what the class did inside) was just broken beyond repair.
But yes, with the latert patched release, you actually dont win anymore if you quickstart and press return 200 times (what happened almost always in the version those review sites found "great")
I just took a trip to dell.com to check out, and they dont even offer 1000w for 1U servers. Their dual Xeon 1U servers have 550W, with the option of dual 550W.
>And ultra capacitors have a large number of advantages: no dangerous components, recharge in a matter of minutes, better temperature tolerance, longer durability .
how about: a) toxic nanoparticles (potentially carciogenic?) b) recharge is current-limited. A supercap that actually HAS more capacity/volume than a LiIon would melt if you try to charge it that quickly c) ultra-low breakthrough voltage, requires extensive step-up circuit. d) those 6 Wh/kg EXTREMELY warp the picture to benefit supercaps (as they are not very dense at all).
conclusion: people talk about fulecells because they are about 250-500 times better in terms of energy density than supercabs. (plus have you any idea how fucking expensive those vapourware nanotube caps would be?)

And how is TECHNIQUE different from SKILL?
All other things equal, the stronger one will win.

I guess you should tell that cray, so they can dig in their old junkyards for their old good tech so they dont have to use hypertransport anymore...
Nah, you didnt make any misstake.
The mod was just a knee-jerk retard.
apple=!orange.
Why compare a singly alphy cpu with the total power required by a whole dual cpu server?
And FYI, the alpha 21264 peaked at about 150W, and this is still not beaten even by dual cpu xeons (although they really try to).
Thats one reason alpha beat everybody in performance back then... they just burned 4 times a much power as a p3 back then
It just doesnt matter...

Just a hint: when sorting comments after rating, this ignorant idiot of parent still gets the first place with his +5 insightful blabering.
Maybe that should change?
and you better hope that your partition tables and MFT is on the drive that DIDNT decide to die...

People like you are the reason linux can never get anywhere.
Just die already.
Well, to be harsh, your typical fork would run on a celeron just fine, considering how much hits you would probably get...
Then explain why it is significantly hotter than even the sun-side of mercur even though it gets 3 times less solar energy per m^2?
actually, scaling down the problem (1/50s the speed, 1/1000s the distances) makes things MUCH easier, and this system is very much viable... even though its not a force field.

thats YOUR _OPPINION_.
I went from filezilla to smartFTP and never went back.
So obviously you are wrong, right?

My cell phone has more horsepower and RAM than a big iron had in the 70s...
Redefinitions happen all the time in IT, you know?
I just wanted to post about faggots like you :)

Another one here
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/common/ssi/rep_sp/n/XS
IBM x server 1U, dual xeon.
Maximum offered PSU: dual 585W.
I think you generalisations "dual 1000W, some dual 750W, NEVER seen a brand 500W" are full of shit.
