For me, the interesting point from this testing is to figure out what a low power CPU consumes. I really don't want to have to guess what their big-bad-ass card is chewing up as a percentage of this, I'm only interested in processor and onboard graphics (for example, for server usage, where onboard is absolutely fine).
Adding in an unknown load for a graphics card doesn't help in knowing what the *processor* consumes, which is what the article pertains to be about.
Okay. Let's test a low power CPU. We need to stick it in a low-power board to get good measurements, of course. Let's ignore that we've got a 6150 with integrated graphics.Then let's stick on a big-ass 7950 which consumes over 70w on it's own at idle.
Is this a mistake in the article, or is this just... Insane?
Organic means literally "compounds containing but not limited to Carbon and Hydrogen". Most of the comments here seem to be focussing on the "life" aspect here - Which is not what this science experiment (AFAIK) was about.
This is a great idea. With a couple of tiny issues.
ISPs have long said that they are just carriers and are not responsible for the content they provide access to. As soon as the technological solution for implementing a "content filter" is there, RIAA and friends will _require_ ISPs to use it for that purpose as well.
This is completely ignoring the technical stupidity of trying to "fingerprint" media that is _not_ going to be transferred in plaintext.
Results are, in fact, only when something gets _delivered_. All that's happened here is one manager has made a promise to another manager. And you all know how that story goes.

ie the last write to the system hive was 4 days ago. Not quite within my definition of "streaming". And yes, the write times on these files are valid even though they're held open by Windows.
Not with any of the recent tape formats. They're all "serpentine" - That is, a very narrow track (up to 1/512 of the width of the tape) goes from the start to the end of the tape. The head then moves down a fraction, and writes the next track "backwards".
This means that the seek time is reduced by up to 512x. Of course, this isn't free - Tape wear is increased since there are many, many more passes over the tape.
Oh, come on. Drop the bias. This is technology aimed towards businesses. People who have truly sensitive information and need to be able to track who sees it. It's not targetted at warez-kiddies, movie downloaders or porn magnets. Sure, it will be used in that capacity sooner or later, but the hardware manufacturers are responding to a perceived customer requirement.
which supports output of true force data (acceleration / cornering G forces, suspension deflection, etc) to a real motion platform, such as: http://www.force-dynamics.com/
You should really only be pedantic when you're right. Speed is distance over time. So the idea of a "point" measure of speed is silly _and_ technically violates quantum theory. Anyway. If your average speed is above the speed limit, then your peak speed inside the zone would also be above the speed limit. The UK has had these kinds of cameras for some time now - SPECS - http://www.speedcheck.co.uk/FAQs.htm
You don't need a database in any of your examples. Anyone who's authored a proper application with a database behind it SHOULD be thinking in SQL, so that the database can do it's job. Otherwise, you're going to be reimplementing stuff that's already available at a lower level. Badly.
Soundstorm Does Not Work Under Linux. What you're getting out is 5.1 analog audio or ac3/dts passthrough. The Windows drivers allow the hardware to do ac3 encoding in realtime, allegedly completely handled by hardware.
At the time this would have worked really well for me - Since I wanted a single long audio run that wasn't affected by ground loops.
But sending an email to support just got a "No, this won't work" response. In my books, NV sucks almost as much as Creative.

Uhuh.

If you think GT? is a simulator and you have a PC and wheel (yes, your Driving Force Pro works with the PC), try out Live For Speed
It really is worth it. The only thing you'll be wanting is a motion platform, which is something that LFS can output to

It's insane when more than 50% of the power budget is going to the video card, not the CPU they're 'testing'.

Of course, it appears that the new laws allow both uses. Way to go AU!

Please. Don't do that. At least there's only one tubgirl pic.

Because security through obscurity is a time-proven strategy. It works for everyone that's tried it, doesn't it?
This behavior changed with Windows XP. The registry is now _only_ committed when an application asks Windows to commit, or on shutdown.
I'm afraid I have to call FUD.

This is not easy (or cheap) stuff to do right, but I'm quite sure when you do, it's well worth it for the look on people's faces
