Ahem. So being a Constitutionalist is "Right Wing"?. And here I thought that was to be expected for a member of SCOTUS. But what the hell, it's outdated and people like Elena Kagan know better than than the founding fathers. Riiiight....
I remember back when I had a Pentium II machine, I actually created a RAMdisk and installed the original Quake game onto it. While much faster than HDD, there was still considerable loading going on.
We're not talking about simple 2D sprite based games here. 3D games with vast texture maps have to be shuffled into place.
First and foremost, you should always drive defensively. That is to say, never assume the other driver or pedestrian is paying attention.
Speeding does raise the risk of an accident in many ways. Think of it as a co-contributor. For example, speeding in a school zone reduces your reaction time to bring the vehicle to a full stop. It also renders a vehicle out of control when hydroplaning. Going a bit faster can turn (what seems) used but deemed-safe tires into a pair of otherwise slicks at high speed through rain. Another issue happens to be people who speed during rush hour. It's even worse when everyone else around you is humming along at 80Mph with the traffic densely packed. All it takes is some monkey to tag a piece of debris on the freeway to cause a cascading multi-vehicle collision. After all, everyone's reaction time is now reduced.
Why? That chip is perfect for an MS Terminal Server.
You get more cores dedicated to user sessions, yet each session doesn't need blistering performance. It will provide improved application and session response times however.
ECC support is disabled on all non-Xeon chips. There isn't a technical reason, it was purposeful market segmentation.
Per Intel FAQ
Does either the Intel® Core i7 processor or the Intel® Core i5 processor family support Error Correction Code (ECC) memory? Neither family of desktop processors supports ECC memory. Typically ECC memory is used on servers and workstations rather than on desktop platforms. This is due to the price premium and extremely low likelihood of a data error occurring even on memory not utilizing ECC.
Knowing this before hand, that's why opted to build a new AMD based computer that has ECC enabled. The parts I used includes current prices below from Newegg.com and Crucial.com
Motherboard: Asus Crosshair III Formula = $199 CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition = $159 RAM: Crucial 4GB kit (2GBx2) ECC DDR3-1333 (P/N: CT2KIT25672BA1339) = $149
Total (minus shipping) = $507
It's damn cheap for a fast performing ECC workstation.
You don't need ECC for home usage, but both personally and professionally, I highly recommend it.
With the stability of modern OSs such a OSX and Windows 7, people tend to leave their computer on 24/7. Eventually, a bit flip will take place. Question is, where? It might happen in an area which is about to be flushed out anyways. It could also happen where the kernel resides causing the OS to panic. Worse yet, having a bit flip could corrupt a file making data recovery that much more troublesome.
Trade latency has always been proportional to risk. The smaller your latency between trades, the more risky that trader is.
Being that you trade every five seconds (am I right?), I'm going to guess you're into some serious money doing this. I'm curious, in the times you don't trade, how often do you leave your software running to "roleplay" the market in a passive mode to tweak and tune it?
Interesting idea. Turns out there are USB extender kits over CAT5.
According to Newegg, the SIIG JU-EX0011-S1 will support USB v1 and 2. However, the data rate gets stepped down to 12Mbit/s. That may or may not be enough bandwidth depending on your device needs.
Without question, China is on fantastic road to recovery. Each year I go over there, I'm blown away at the level of progress going on. But make no mistake about it, going the capitalist road was rather self-serving of the CCP. The amount of kickbacks and bribery that goes on dwarf that of our American politicians. That's saying a lot.
Careful! Maximum USB cord length is 5 meters (16ft).
I shrugged that off until I tried connecting a USB printer with cable twice the length. My computer didn't like that. I got messages ranging from unknown device to being able to see, but not print. Only when I connected a shorter cable did everything start to work.
I hear there are cable repeaters, but it will require another AC adapter to be plugged in someplace (powered USB hub might work).
What you say about Texas is true. But over all, conservative states have the least restrictive gun laws over liberal ones. Regardless, Texas is least restrictive compared to Washington despite the open carry status.
...when they're exonerated by a panel of scientists who are NOT connected to renewable energy sources, environmentalist groups, conservation movements, carbon trading etc.
Add to that they (and politicians) have shit-piles of money, live in large estates, ride in SUVs, and jet around the world just to show face for some half-assed AWG meeting. The level of hypocrisy is insulting!
Plus, he's using Firefox. Are you guys really going to pick on him after realizing that?
Oh ya, he uses Firefox. Give this man a total pass! WTF, he's supposed to be an elected official performing a JOB. But you know what's really sad? He's not alone. Check out these other officials (Democrats) playing Solitaire and viewing ESPN.com.
You mean they will start NATing more often for residential customers. Long gone will be the default of having a dynamic Public IP address. Want one of those? That will cost extra.
They always have been. Governments around the world use taxation as a form of social engineering to secure political power and control. Much like a shepherd herding its flock. Unfortunately, society is a very big, complicated moving target. Trying to control it only brings more complication and inefficiencies in the process.
Sorry, I should have given you a choice. Perhaps you wanted the blue pill instead?
If you convert it BACK to electrical energy, you could be considered to be REselling it
That doesn't make any sense. If you have the ability to recapture waste heat back into electricity, why wouldn't you simply re-loop it into your data center for consumption? At this point, your just being a more efficient with your overall energy usage.
No, the jokes will continue. But hey, the church brought this on themselves. While many can learn to forgive (per teachings of Jesus), no one must forget.
And note that it's not about Congress regulating the Internet - it's about giving the FCC the authority and the tools to do so, which they currently don't have.
Three letter bureaucracies are used as control instruments by congress. Once powers are granted, rarely are they taken away, and often used as precidents when crafting new laws and regulation after the fact.
Congress by its very nature is incompetent because they put politics ahead of principle. Case in point, look at taxation and the new health care reform. They're both disasters of epic proportions. In fact, I'm willing to bet the only portion of the bill they read is their own amended riders they put into them, not the bill itself.
And you guys want Congress to regulate the Internet? I can only see this going from bad to worse!
He got infected with a face AV. I was able to remove the virus and all remaining infected files. However, there were still some entries in the registry is made. I simply used System Restore to roll back the system prior to the infection. Aside from any system files that got rolled back, it also restored the system registry from that point in time (which is what I was after.
So yes, a System Restore point (prior to infection) is a good thing to do post virus cleanup.

Just wait till find out what side the FCC takes on net neutrality should they get their way.
Muahahahahha!!!

I thought it was to let the body cool down faster when sweating.

I stay away from the bazaars when I visit Shanghai. Those peddlers can be harder to shake off than fleas on a dog's back.
And no! I don't want a damn "Rolex" watch.
