From what I understand, all modern processors are now a hybrid of both RISK and CISC (Intel Core 2, AMD K8, etc). Except for embedded applications, the generic CPU doesn't have that kind of pure classification anymore. Right?
Aside from whether it's right or wrong that a 250GB cap even exists; if you really need to move that much data in a month, perhaps you should consider a business class account. Still cheaper than a shitty T1.
Not sure if it's possible, but I've always wondered if a virus could be written into binary registry keys. Basically, the Windows kernel executes, loads the registry hive, then the virus is spawned from code inside it.
That's because the EXE file association was hijacked. Once you run an EXE, Windows makes a callback to the Malware. If you right-click on the EXE file however, I've found that you can opened it up with another option in the context menu.
The registry value that Windows should be set to
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command The (Default) key should be set to: "%1" %*
Process Explorer is like the Task Manager, but far more advanced. It's just a single executable, so it's very portable.
Autoruns is sorta like MSConfig or Hijackthis on steroids.
Basically, you run Process Explorer to kill the thread in question, then use Autoruns to prune the malware from bootup and other places it has it's hooks into. If successful, you've neutered the malware enough to allow a 3rd party anti-malware program to be executed.
Actually, that's a very good idea. You could pump the super-saline to many locations via small pipelines (with holes drilled lengthwise). I would imagine the concentration would be so low as to have little to zero effect on the environment. The ocean is vast!!!
If you like it, cool. Buy it, rent it, watch it with a friend, or even borrow someone elses every now and then. The point in all this should be ethically simple. Don't be that habitual freeloader unless the creators intended it to be free.
Is this the same group that created all of those XP Antivirus 200X programs? Christ all mighty! That's some serious malware that's almost impossible to remove! I can only imagine how much the developers got paid.
XP is still a solid operating system and currently has the highest market share.
Not for long. I can't speak for the Fortune 500s, but most medium and small business replace the OS with the machine. Such scenarios include a PC that's out of warranty, under powered, lease expired, or when the cost of the OS alone is more expensive than the computer your using. If it wasn't for the slow global economy, we would be seeing a lot more newer PC with Win7 purchased.
While Microsoft does have the say-so in EOL their products, the consumer equally has a say-so if a newer version of Windows is adopted in the market place. You could go with Apple after all...
When I last worked for Time Warner in Austin, TX, (between 2003 and 2006) our tech support motto was "One and Done". Basically, the idea was to help a customer with their technical issue and try and get it resolved the first and last time over the phone. This was done for two reasons. 1. It makes the customer happy not to have to call back. 2. By them not calling back, they tie up fewer TSR and CSR resources in the long term.
Unfortunately, it was often the on-site technicians or dispatch that fucked everything up. I would say half of my incoming calls were directly tied back to a botched scheduling or that a technician (contractor too) left an on-site job half-assed completed.
That may be true, but even Obama has claimed that enforcing intellectual property was vital to national security. Well duh, no shit! It plays a huge part in our nations GDP. Regardless, I don't agree with having IP laws rammed down our throat, and that of other nations too.
First, PCs and laptops serve different purposes each providing their own pros and cons. We're not talking about a laptop revolution here. The market ratio between the two as remained relatively stable with laptops edging out slightly higher. Even so, almost all laptop users don't need the fancy GPU anyways.
What's killing the video card market is on-board video. Laptops have almost always used on-board video, but PCs only recently withen industry. While they've always sucked for gaming and HD video playback, they're getting powerful enough to have least solved the video/flash playback performance problem. Now there is less of a need to upgrade. Given how supply and demand works, I can clearly see how this would effect vendors such as BFG and EVGA. Not many die-hard PC gamers left in the world. We are a dieing breed, and they know it.
BFG was one of many manufactures that made nVidia cards from their reference design. Often, they would improve on the design with a better HSF and higher quality RAM so the card could be overclocked out of the box.
Kinda sad to see them go. They've always provided good warranty support.
There are so many unused shipping containers that it makes sense to use them. Also, they provide the easiest method of relocation anyplace around the world.
Amsterdam has an apartment complex comprised entirely out of shipping containers. The idea being that if you want to relocate, you transport your container/home to another city. So you can forget having to box up your things and move crap around, which is nice!
I wish they had these in America. It would make job relocation that much easier and not feel confined to just the city you live in. It would also make the States more competitive with each other and thus more employment friendly. After all, getting out of your apartment lease or trying to sell your home is the last thing you want to deal with.
Well, you can have that experience all over again. Check out the Asus Xonar Essence STX. Drop-dead retail packaging, gold plated connections, and uber quality capacitors. *drool*
1GB on a Win7 machine is a bad idea. 2GB should be your starting target. Most employees will have several Web Browser instances open (with tabs), Outlook, Acrobat, Word, and maybe an Excel file too. Also, device drivers, Anti-virus software, and programs like Quickbooks will chew through memory fast.
If you can budget it, purchase the smallest HDD drive and put the savings toward 4GB of RAM instead. Generally, users should be keeping files on server anyways.
I'm going to put on my cynical hat and just say this. Nations like the US and EU don't want to punish companies too harshly. It's sorta like killing the golden goose. Gotta keep that tax revenue flowing after all.
Corporations are like gangs, and the Government acts like the mob. They work for and against each other in much the same way.
Aside from cheap labor, China is already a manufacturing powerhouse because of a lax in their environmental regulations. It's a simple matter of path of least resistance. It's almost impossible to build power plants, refineries, and factories here in the US *because* of strict laws. And has been for a very long time now.
This Cap n Tax bill will only serve to amplify this effect.
If you want to be real serious about cleaning up this planet and improving energy efficiency, X amount dollars could be better spent in developing nations vs nations that are already developed. When it comes to cost, you run into a problem of diminishing returns. So why slit our own throat?
Ya, price fixing sucks. But let's be real honest shall we? Who ends up paying the 400M and where does that money go? Consumers around the world will be paying for it.
When you think about it, it's like a global tax to feed the coffers of a nation, or a union of them in this case. I'm just saying...
In nature, an abrupt change to the food chain will cause shock and even total collapse of an ecosystem. Humanity and all that it entails is a geopolitical industrious ecosystem that feeds off cheap energy. What exactly do you think will happen if we restrict the flow? Here are a few examples below.
1. Loss of Jobs 2. Food now scarce AND expensive 3. No upkeep in infrastructure 4. Increase in crime 5. Domestic Terrorism 6. Civil War 7. World War
In case you haven't figured it out, making energy expensive will reverberate throughout every facet of civilization. Everything from transportation of goods and services to manufacturing will suffer. And you think we have victims now??!
Resources are like slices in a pie. However, that pie grows under capitalism which in effect also grows the slices of said pie. In communism, the size of the pie often stagnates if not shrinks all together once rationing starts. It quickly becomes a run-away situation of poverty and despair.
Perfect example today is Venezuela going down that path. China at least has learned of the folly of Marxist ideology.

The goal is to reduce power consumption and improve performance. Adding redundancy and CRC goes against that.

My vote goes for a Movie based on the EVE Online universe. Keep it very dark, moving, and awe inspiring.
I bet you could get away with multiple franchise spin-offs too. Just like with Star Trek and Stargate.
