This 'slowing' of cpu's with ageing in years must be the culprit!
But hang on, it seems this trend may reverse and some may be
enjoying a free clock crank from day one!
In those days gone by, IBM was reluctant to support any moves to tcpip, infact vendors with tcpip based products were the competition. The reasons were at least two fold, SNA was deeply imbedded in the then current product line AND they thought tcp/ip was an inferior network.
Well the customer clammer arose loud and IBM succumbed to the marketing opportunity and SNA is now a little known but still tough as nails network archetecture.
Now with the rise of tiered networks on the horizon, the headaches of admin and all, SNA might again be found desirable, at least for some of us old fogies.
All I can say about the bull crap part is that before I errected my tower we had hits close enough to my poll pig
to trip the protector nearly each summer at least once.
Since putting the tower in place about ten years ago, not once has the pig been hit. Only once has anything happened close enough to the tower to cause any damage of my equipment (lucky?). I do have each leg directly grounded with it's own #4 wire and 8 foot ground rod.
Another ham down by the river where the storms rush by has his 200' tower hit quite frequently. I am in the middle of a mostly relatively flat area.
My pet hypothosis is that my tower bleeds off enough of the static buildup rapidly enough that 'usually' it aids in lightning reduction in my immediate area. I do mean immediate cause two poll pigs up the street, they get hit at about half the previous frequency of mine. I have lived here 24 years.
I have no doubt that a fast moving storm directly over me would show no mercy.
I looked up a newish neighborhood address nearby and google did not find it,
mapquest did. This neighborhood is several years old now.
The sat maps also are nice for looking at Washington, DC esp if you have evil intent. I live about 3 miles East of I95 and about 15 mi N of the state capitol here in Va. Their is no detailed sat data much South of DC.
This goes back to when I was a kid (50 yrs more or less ago)
but I seem to recall the answer to that question being that
the lawyer for a defendant that he knows is guilty should
council them to plead guilty and try to get a reduced
punishment. I don't know beyond that what the ethical
expectation of the profession might have been in days gone
bye ( and yes they seem very very gone).
Hummm... Well actually, until the root cause is found and
disclosed, the causallity can not be positivly assigned.
I'd bet, eather way, a software fix or circumvention would
be the solution as Intel ain't likely to change the chip
unless it is a really big issue that can't be circumvented.
At least that has been my observation.
working for them has been good and bad.
working for men has been good and bad.
On a tangent, the biggest problem with those aspiring
to move up the management chain is there desire to be
noticed by upper management. To do this there are no
holds barred on screwing with what works or could be
made to work better to sell a bullet for more radical
changes just to be freakin noticed.
Whats up with all the stereotyping? It should be recognized that the varabilities are too numerous and complex for any real validity to the use of stereotyping. I am calling B.S.
For the record, I used to be a republican. thirty years ago
I was mainstream repub. Now my views havent changed much. however, now I am a right wing conservative independant and, I guess, many would add extremest, have at it brothers.
that AMD, in the early days, actually made decisions and marketed in a way that directly supported geekdom. Later as their volume and reputation grew they somewhat deminished the geekdom specific support, I guess understandably. Meanwhile,
the then wintel monopoly did everything it could squeeze by with to hender the growth of AMD's processor usage. Lately with geekness becoming popular, AMD has somewhat reafirmed connection with it's roots.
Regarding the power usage, before the Athalon, if memory serves correctly, AMD lead Intel in processing per watt.
AMD seemed somewhat resistant to go the high power route.
Well, I guess you are at least, a 'skeptic'. Anyhow I think that the terms: religion, world view, beleaf system and probably what you have 'stored up in your heart' are somewhat interchangable.
Thanks for the response, I do find your self-analysis interesting and somewhat novel. Maybe because I've led a hard life:-). I did make a serious existenial attempt as a younger man.
A spiritual man tries (weighs, discerns) all things. You might fit right in easily enough! Of course the only spiritual man who ever totally fulfilled that or any other such description was Jesus!
Gee, guess I have been up too long, still need to exercise,
Goodnight!
You operate "by basing my decisions on assumptions that I make about reality". This hints of a deeper faith of some kind. Perhaps it is in your intellect. There is something deeper than what you describe that gives you the confidence to move forward. I'd guess that a philosopher might define your 'religon' as a variation of existentialism.
Cutting off here 'cause 0330 alarm for early system work calls, cheers.
Nissan Sentra 40mpg, lowest quality seats, etc.
Saturn (forget the model) 40mpg real QA issues.
Mitsubishi Mirage 40mpg, seems like best of breed.
VW diesel jetta 50mpg, good car but bottom rung.
(disclaimer - derate 3mpg for automatic trans)
Why do no manufacturers offer nice cars with even
near the above mpg rates?
Now that you are hooked on using morse code, or more
correctly, the international version.... be careful
how you start learning. DO NOT memorize.- pattern.
Get the tapes and learn by sound. Direct random
access is MUCH faster than using lookup tables.
silah
Well with morse you don't need to send while
receiving to have a two way interruptable
conversation! With QSK mode of operation, the
receiver is active even between dits and dahs.
This allows the sender to be interrupted mid-
sentance. The fun factor goes up rapidly using
QSK!

I think google maps are more hype than substance.

I live in Va. My grandmother lived here too. She said "if you grow tired of the weather (climate) here, just wait, it will change".

Good for you, I hope you will do a dvd version and put it all in!
I find in tackeling complex tasks envolving the new and untried that doing work on it in phases with settle or cogitate time is productive.
