you are correct. under your disk writing pattern you will not need to worry about this issue. And you maybe in the 80% normal usage pattern. however i feel that both arguments are valid.
under normal usage you will not have a problem. under high usage you will have to replace a drive once a year.
i know i come late in the game on this article. i just thought i'd like to point out
1 day = 86,400 secs. 40gb = 40,000,000,000
40gb / 1 day = 462,962 bytes per second.
now i understand that people will not have their computer on all day. I am also not a memorizer of drive write statistics. but approximate a current sata drive at 15mbps then a solid state drive would die out at approximately 1/30 the time you say it will last which is approximately 1 year.
people complain about replacing a iphone battery every year.
it certainly would force people to upgrade more often.
guitartabs.com was just a large ad circle and never really brought you to much music. thank you RIAA/DMCA. now google will stop listing guitartabs.com as the highest rated response when i look for music
im not sure about your computer but on mine with 4 cores. just using MS software only uses 1 core by default. i have to specificly go into the task manager and move processes to another core. which the user shouldnt have to do. which means my $4k computer is only getting to utilize 1 core. also new threads are only started on the processor that the original executable was started on from what i can tell. so if i have an app with 64 threads running and a computer with 64 cores. 63 sit doing nothing. why cant i have 1 thread per processor? looking at the win32 documentation i cant even tell it to create the thread on another processor if 1 exists.
have you been to manhattan recently? 1/2 of it being underwater would be an improvement as far as i'm concerned. would definately make traffic in/out/around the city more managable:)
"I think everyone should start making maps of famous places, schools, office buildings, cities, etc."
it is considered espionage to make "blueprints" of certain government builds. "blueprints" being considered anything from a real blueprint to your scratches on a napkin describing the building.
i have had to do a lot of porting from win32 to linux/bsd/mac lately and maybe i just cant find it in the documentation anywhere but 1 function i would really appreciate the pthread team adding is
pthread_join_with_timeout() the equivilent of the win32 WaitForSingleObject
often i set a flag for a thread to end and it might have already been completed. i want to be able to join immediately if it's already completed and if it isn't process some other event and try to join again.
i can program around this however it would be extremely nice addition to pthreads.
i donno how xbox live service works... my understanding was any xbox live service update was required. if that is true and i connect my hardware to xbox live and you brick my box because the update had an "issue" with modded system then i could see something. if the updates were optional and i upgraded on my own and it had an "issue" with modded hardware then i'd side with MS.
thank you!!! to the person who posted this article and to the person who owns the website!!! i just bought a mac book pro and was driving myself nuts trying to get the wlan to work. very much appreciated.
it doesnt matter if he missed the point of the university evirnoment. he went to UVA. thats like saying i graduated high honors on the deans list manta cum lata from kindergarden in harlem.
well... im no expert of the "licensing" of music. but to me there is value in a used record.
1. i like analog more then i like digital. to me there is more sound you could look at it like this.
A. artists did less "punch ins"
B. artists left small mess ups on the record.
C. analog has no clipping.
D. i like a steady sin wave as opposed to an approximated one.
2. (this is where the licensing comes in) to me i own a license to listen to that song when i buy a record/CD/mp3. now afaik i'm allowed to change the format from the one i originally bought it in to a format i can listen to it with. I.E. i buy CDs but have a walkman so i transfer it to tape. now if i buy a record and i own a ipod i just need to get it to mp3. well others have made mp3s of the song and i have a license to listen to the song so i download the song and store it on my mp3 player. so to me a $3 used record on led zeppelin II (From my original example) which has 9 songs on it is way cheaper then the $8.91 from itunes.
near me is a comic book/music store. they have tons of used vinyl records and used CDs. i typically buy the records and rarely buy the used CDs. but why buy led zeppelin II on CD for $15 when you can get the record for $3 and then buy 4 other records.
well they probably consider that 80% of the people that will initially buy a ps3 will have a hdmi tv.
however your right on another factor. if they made 20% hdmi and 80% non-hdmi then those that couldnt get a hdmi version will buy another ps3 later so they could have made the money twice off those people. although thinking about it are they taking a loss on the console?
its a blizzard game released by blizzard created from blizzard original content. i'm pretty sure they get 100% of the money after the initial store sale. unless their parent company takes a cut.
"we don't support this at all" - may or may not work. we cant give details. we cant release any information stating we are working on this or have worked on this or tried to see if it works
"install will fail unless its sp2" - we tried SP1 and if does not work at all. or we made a decision in our design process which stops sp1 from working.
you try installing XP without any SP or with SP1? i have an XP CD not sure if it includes SP1 or not but i dont want to upgrade to SP2 and get the WGA tool. i only use windows for 1 game anyway everything else i use OSS or free software for. their website says SP2 only however i was wondering if that was just "we support sp2 only" or if it was "install will fail unless you have sp2"

thank you very much i did not know about these functions. i'll have to dig more into them.

because windows is so complex not even MS can figure it out. they dont think this dude could.
i remember phantasy star for the original sega master system cost me $80 at release in the US.
my guess is they wont allow preorders until they get the final list of release titles and accessories so they can "bundle" everything

i donno... if you've ever worked in government you'd know that 100% of government is disabled.
