Everybody can download the COMPLETE sql database from wikipedia.org. Im sure ther are at least 1000 people in the world who have a more or less recent version to resupply even if the whole datacenter burns down,ect.
But giving EVERY car in the nation a foolproof automatic guidance system is that much cheaper. Not to mention the time till every old car is kicked of the road (because even a single car WILL create a huge mess of such a crossing, plus even ONE faulty guidence system will do the same).
And if 2 cars hit each other and convert a lot of their kinetic energy in waste metal, then NO guidence system can stop the next 50+ cars from wrecking into them. Even the fastest regulation circuit cannot simply make kinetic energy dissapear.
ok, the cars are SUPPOSED to nearly crash at the intersection. Sorry, ditnt RTFA...
But: If this control system would be THAT perfect, you could easily increase traffic saturation by 300% by removing any safty distance between your cars. If its safe to near miss each other at the intersection, it shoulnt be a problem to drive with only 1 or 2 meters to the guy in front of you...
Why do cars drive through each other at the intersection? If its just 2 independent lanes, why the cross-layout? And why even bother to simulate 6 lanes if there isnt any lane-changing? (at least i havent seen one)
THe nice thing with watercooling is that you can have a performance system, VERY silent, if you are creative. Those systems with in-tower-radiators (even g5) suck. If the heat is already in the water, why cool the water with hot air from inside your case, or blow the heated ait inside (depending on airflow direction)
The inside of the case is normaly suffed enough. I have a nice big external radiator, which is able to cool my pc sufficiently even in the summer (without AC) without any fan on it at all.
Because there is no cpu heat inside the tower, my radeon 9500pro is cooled just fine passively by a Zalman cooler.
My 8 harddisc need a little forced cooling, but a 12cm fan running at 5 Volt is ok (my case has a rack of hot swap bays with airducts to that fan).
The system may be a little hot, but is rock-stable. How i am able to make this claim? Easy: Last summer was the hottest around here, and the system had an uptime >60days at he end of august...
with open circuit watercooling system is water contamination. Algae seems to be able to grow on little more then the casual dust that enters the water, and the best place to grow is where you dont want it: The nice warm and thin parts of the CPU heatsink.
Are those mach speeds representing the actuall factor at flying altitude or is there a standart altitude?
Because if its at traveling altitude, your mach 6 35km altitude vehicle would be faster then your mach 7 15km vehicle (speed of sound is presure dependent). But if it were otherwise, you could travel at mach 1.1 and still be subsonic if you are high enough, which doesnt make sense either.
So why dont they just give the speed in km/h (or mph)? Mach may be usefull if you are dodging around the speed of sound, but at mach 2,3 (or 10), who cares?
I simulated combat scenarios, racing cars, passenger jets, mass troop movement, ect the last few weeks with my computer. Simulation IS to be done for a reason. Your computer simulates your oppossing soccer team in fifa2004. Is simulates driving physics in F1 Grand Prix or Colin McRae. It simulates a whole city in simcity (heck, there is even a whole genere called SIMULATION).
And even if you leave out games, there is stock software, Seti&Folding@home (both simutlating stuff), ect. Put povray and all the other renderers in the pot, because they all simulate a multitiude of physical effects.
He has just a Really Narrow Vision (tm) about what simulation should be about. (and sorry, i have written simulation software myself, for fun, because i LIKE to watch a barnes-hut simulation of a globular cluster, ect, but i still dislike that logo or squeal....
What if a plane crashes near an airport? What if a chemical plant explodes? What if a blast furnance collapses? What if a truck full of gasoline runs into an appartment complex? What if...
There is ALWAYS risk involved. People die all the time because of accidents.
And i guess they wont place the reciever into the central park or so, but somewhere where there is little damage if there are spills.
hm. Cell isnt anymore revolutionary than a trinity of power-cores. Or do your REALLY think there will be 2nd gen ps3s with more cell units? Likely as many as there were EmotionEngine workstations and GfxSynthesiszer renderboxes.
So you want to say that a PSU that has 10W heat with 100W load, which double to 20W as the components age, is in ANY way worse than a normal PSU that wasted 30W to begin with?
8 Years ago powray was slow, but quality wise better than most commercial renderers. Since then not much has changed with povray, but A LOT with the rest. Now povray is still slow as hell (the radiosity core is RIDICULOUS. it takes longer per scanline then others per picture while still having artifacts)
Look here: http://www.pointzero.nl/renderers/ and find at least 10 other open source renderers that were developed in less time than the povray-tram needed for this half-assed update, are 10 times faster (or 100 times if you use some sort of GI) and feature the ability to render stuff other than their own format (e.g. plugins for blender/3ds/ect).
Ah, i feel better now: Addition: You signal/noise ratio WILL NEVER be limited in practice by the 112db of your cd. Simply because termal noise in your Transitor-juction regions will be bigger. And no, using tubes DOESNT make the sound better. If just increases your noise and puts a horrible disortion over your spektrum (which some people think is "warm sound")
One thing: FORGET IT. You WONT get 120db out of any high powered home stereo. 130 NO CHANCE IN HELL. Any box of acceptable quality (so no boom-horns that make your rave loud but have 20%jitter) will yield between 85 and 90, perhaps 95db/m*W (95 is a real upperlimit, only reachable by transmissionline boxes or other stuff). So make your math: If you are 2m from your speakers, you need 5kW sinus output of your amp to listen to your "quality"-musik. And i BUT you DONT. So STFU
If you get your game out and need 14 patches to be playable and your reputation is ruined, and your competitors product runs fine out of the box, you realize there are other products more important.
Btw: Most of those "inner loops" you could save tons of time with assembly have slowly dissapeared with vertex shaders and gpus in general.
Simple answer: Obviously NOT, as this guy did it before intel. Even more simple answer: WTF? How can anyone REALLY think a concept as simple as floating point numbers could have evaded generations of mathematicans until some calculator company invents it....

2^128 IS virtually unlimited. Even enough for every braincell in every human that has ever lived to get an IP.

So a jet pilot traveling at 10km will produce a sonic boom only at mach 1.4 (or whats it exactly)?
If thats true then the whole "mach" thing seems rather pointless..
Are those mach speeds representing the actuall factor at flying altitude or is there a standart altitude?
Because if its at traveling altitude, your mach 6 35km altitude vehicle would be faster then your mach 7 15km vehicle (speed of sound is presure dependent).

Only if shes not hot anymore, and then you wouldnt want her....
I guess a lot of blind people regularly visit the website of a cinema-chain...

Well, what you call "properly designed bubblesort" is commonly known as "insertion sort".
Bubblesort ALWAYS run O(n^2).
I always though stealth ships were old stuff. Arent they called submarines....?
If you dont understand even that, why are you even here trying to discuss if z3 was turing complete or not /or a computer or not?
