The ironic thing is, that the "Turbo" speed was actually the native speed of the CPU. When you disabled turbo, you were actually underclocking it so that applications (games really), would run slower.
Basically, the parent wants to use the turbo button to overclock the CPU. This is the opposite implementation of when used in the past.
Regarding online safety, security through obscurity should not be overlooked. It's crap like this (and stuff in the work place) as to why I don't blab on about intimate details of my life to strangers.
Small and medium business I do work for are not spending on upgrades. It's all break/fix replacement. It's getting so bad for some, they won't even upgrade their backup software and hardware requirements. If only they can keep limping along for another year they say...
A storm is brewing. The handwriting is on the wall. I predict an increase in stories posted on Slashdot about how many companies have suffered data loss from the recession.
If Bill Gates was dead, he'd be rolling over in his grave now. Hell, he might be rolling over in his bed for all we know.
So why hasn't he come out and said anything. Could it be (A) he doesn't give a damn anymore. Or (B), a negative public statement from him would cause his stock to drop like a rock?
Government Regulation and keeping a diverse portfolio. Keep those two things in mind, and you will be safe.
Once they see everyone jumping to oil as a hedge fund (like gold), all you guys will get fucked like house cats! The politicians can't keep well enough alone. Diversify my friend, diversify.
Here's a though. If computers are going to get infected anyways and turned into SPAM spewing zombies, why not modify the virus to host P2P trackers along with it? Let the blackhats and MPAA roll around in the mud and take care of our vexing problem for us =) It would kill two birds with one stone. The SPAM goes away and the MPAA gets busted as an accessory to the crime. If they don't, they still keep taking down the SPAMMERS. Win WIN!!!!!
Yup, just like how the blacks from Kenya, Europe, and America have very different cultures and thus an outlook on life. And yes, I've heard this personally from them in the workplace (casual talk, no heated debate).
This study has it ass-backwards. If you're looking to categorize, do it by culture NOT race. To conduct a study like this is based on a false premise to begin with.
And this "Beast"; would that be a computer system, or the government? Either way, the system grows without care or remorse. Sounds like the perfect antichrist in the true sense of the word. Anti-Christian morals/values indeed.
As a Republican, I've always thought Rupert was despicable. He's a national sell-out, including his own soul if he has one. So yes, I fully expect Fox News to cover this story. Will they ever? I doubt it. Not a single mega news corp will ever bite the hand that feeds. Not one!
And you all thought there was still journalistic integrity? Ya right, not in my lifetime. Look up "Drive by media".
That's because PC gaming is a huge PITA for the casual gamer. Therein lies the key word: casual gamer. That's because catering to that market is HUGE! With consoles, it's as easy as dropping the disk in and picking up the gamepad.
PC gaming OTOH involves making sure you meet minimum requirements, have latest drivers installed, all OS updates, and not fighting for a time-slice if it's a shared family computer. To make matters worse, multi-player with a single PC is not there. It's not that you can't program it to act like a console, it's just not the market developers aim for. Also, the results of performance is very dynamic for obvious reasons. Sometimes it'll blows a console out of the water. For others, it's a slide show performance in heavy action scenarios. Not consistent to say the least.
True AI will raise the standard of living, but never replace human labor.
There was adage decades ago that stated something of the effect of "Computers will allow people to do the same work in less time". Turns out that was false. Because everyone uses them, computers make so we perform more work in the same amount of time. That's because everyone uses them to keep that competitive edge. So regardless of the technology used, there will always human beings as a supplemental resource if not the primary resource.
FYI, the graph scales based on bandwidth use. It's not fixed, but dynamic.
Once in awhile, you will see a repetitive "saw tooth" pattern when your PC is completely idle. But if you look at the bandwidth consumed, it's very minuscule. Basically, it's just heartbeats or keep-alives going across the wire. Nothing to worry about.
If you're running Windows 7 or Vista, the first thing you should install is the Network Meter (and All CPU Meter) gadget. If you suspect any unusual activity, you can quickly glance at your CPU and network resources being used.
From what I understand, solar wind eroded its atmosphere out into space over time. I have a few questions.
1. If possible once replenished, how dense can an atmosphere get on Mars?
2. Is there any photosynthetic life that could survive on Mars being so cold and the atmosphere so thin? It's like, what, 1% of Earth's at ground level?
Nope, it wouldn't. You would live in excreta blaming the lazy asshole rednecks who can't do their work properly on their generous minimal wage. Happens all the time.
Until enough of 'high-class' folks become desperate enough to pick up ANY job
Huh? What does the former have to do with the later?
If the people don't want their trash picked up, it wont happen. But in fact they do, because sanitation workers are employed to this day. It's a simple matter of supply and demand of said services that stipulate the market value. Not the other way around.
You're still caught up in social classifications which is BLINDING you of logic. Classifications do not define the job market, rather it's the market that reflects our society. It's people like you that find it convenient to group people together as though it was a social construct of "us" vs. "them". The first thing you need to do is purge your mind of that kind of thinking.
For example, I know several scientists who live on a wage barely more than minimal wage. They produce interesting papers in their own field. Are they more valuable than a bunch of Wall Street leeches? Or maybe patent lawyers? Clearly, scientists are inferior - they earn much less money
From an ideological perspective, I would agree with you. But you and I are individuals. We live in a society that on the whole, views things differently. The market is a reflection of those moral, ethics, and viewpoints of our civilization. Many of which are bended and shaped through law.
However, we can not, nor should usurp the freedom of others for "the greater good". To do so would be and act of statism (communism/fascism two sides of same coin) and tyranny. The end result is much worse. The history of forced Marxism should be a lesson for us all, not a user guide.
Let me re-iterate my point: you live in society and thus have an obligation to support the whole structure of society. Which does include poor people who need help. And most often poor people are poor not because of their own actions.
and
Instead, poor people should be helped by providing free education (including higher education), free medical services and better access to basic infrastructure (public transportation, etc.)
Jesus Christ and Christians (true believers) would agree with you in principle. Unfortunately, we live in a society that, on the whole, doesn't follow altruism to that degree. Just look who our elected officials are, who we do business with, and what goods and services we purchase. The market is a reflection of that behavior.

Now, will IE9 scale with a faster GPU? I'd like to see some benchmarks with different video cards.
Obligatory link to FMV games. Ahhh the 90s... How I DON'T miss that genre.

Problem with standing water and algae is that they attract mosquitoes. How is this issue normally addressed?

How about a pacemaker? That sounds far more useful.
Sounds like a tribal dance for speaking to the Gods.
Na, he's probably a lawyer.
That's right, I'm looking at you Mr. "I've got a 22GB mailbox on the new Exchange 2007 system". Quotas, learn em, love em, use em!
Doesn't BHO have a custom BB that's had the security improved to meet special NSA requirements? Or would be now be using some other PDA?
I guess he'll no longer be able to take his BB with him to Dubai.

I have the game, and love it. I've never played multi-player though. It's fun as has hell in single player, so I never got around to bother with it.
