Fair enough. 250MB/s is not totally out though (from the same article) This encoding explains differences in the published spec speeds of 250 MBps (with the embedded clock overhead) and 200 MBps (data only, without the overhead)..
No, I'm not saying you can count the clock as data. Just 250MB/s isn't wrong, since it is the actual signaling rate.
I basicly meant to say that there were multiple options in terms of the number of lanes per slot. So add a lane, you got a 2x slot. Of course this is all hardware
I think it might be in part Intel's desire to be the 'bus master' (like all the buses before PCI were not Intel products, and intel heavily pushed PCI). I'm not sure where PCI derivatives such as PCI-X stand though.
Note that PCI-X != PCIe. PCI-X is the 133MHz PCI derivative which is backwards compatible with 66mhz and 33mhz cards, whereas PCIe is the not backwards compatible serial link PCI. One PCIe slot/lane has a transfer rate of ~250MB/s (2x PCI). You can easily add mroe lanes to each slot. So with graphics, you have 16 PCIe lanes at 250MB/s each.
All digital signals are subject to jitter and noise. DVI is very length limited, anything over a few meters basicly requires a really nice cable. Anything over 10m requires you to get a DVI-fiber adapter.
You can do infinite post processing on any sort of data to do error correction, but its not free. Complicated electronics which bump up the price, the need for bidirectional communications, and something which you really want to avoid in A/V: Latency. TCP is error correcting since it doesn't care about latency. Video is very timing sensitive and keeping everything in sync with the least delay is hard work. Doing things like trunking DVI over fiber adds latency as well (for modulation and demod step). As such, DVI and Toslink have little to no error detection or correction (especially toslink). Which is why jitter and timing errors are noticeable on cheap digital audio connections.
I agree. 9 out of 10, I've always managed with ibuprofen as a pain killer for when I need it (wisdom tooth extraction involving getting it out of the bone, etc). Sure it hurts, but the simple thing to do is stopping doing what hurts you, and relax a little. Read a book or something, you'll easily get distracted and it won't hurt anymore.
Wal-mart already knows how much each item weighs. The self-checkout machines require that you put the item "in the bagging area", which is basicly a big scale. A simple way around it is to use a barcode of something very cheap but around the same weight as the expensive item (like a bag of soil, catfood, etc, would weigh the same as a TV).
Not all American cars are crap. Ford sometimes produces a good car (Focus isn't bad), and generally produces very good trucks. US bound cars all have vastly oversized engines compared to European cars as well. My Corolla ships with a modest 1.8L, whereas the European model I believe is a 1.4L. I don't need a 130hp engine in a compact car, but as an American, I've come to expect that power.
Lots of minivans give you a very good ride since they're built on car frames. SUVs are built on truck frames which have 'load carrying' as their first priority over 'ride quality'.
85 by its self is not a problem if you know to keep good following distances. Lots of drivers don't. Of course, changing the speed limit to 15 won't solve this problem either.
SUVs and older cars (from the 55 speed limit era) may have problems with this speed. A lot of SUVs have a dangerous leany cushy feel to them at high speed (hint: they're not designed for it! emergency manuvers at anything over 55, unless you're a well trained driver, will cause loss of control. This applies to cars too, but your chances are much better since they generally have better handling).
I had a Ford Taurass ('90, spelling intentional) which had a spedometer capped out at 85. The transmission was not electronically controlled, so actually trying to nudge it over 85 meant that its internals would try to clutch and downshift (due to the higher input torque)! Luckily, it didn't downshift and eject its self on the roadway, although you freewheeled your engine and probably burned up the transmission leaving it in that state.
My new Corolla doesn't have a problem handling at 85mph (on I-5 in California, the unofficial speed limit is 80). The car sits a tad higher so you have to do steering at lower speeds. Replacing the stock tires with quality ones greatly improves cornering as well.
Which brings the point up on tires. $20 tires suck. There are only four very small surfaces which connect you to the roadway, and they're very critical to how your car behaves. To maintain high speeds safely, you need quality tires which are properly maintained and inflated. Lots of drivers neglect this and then have bad handling, poor stopping distance, and blowouts on their underinflated cheapest tires available which weren't balanced right by the guy at Walmart.
UC Davis's Yosemite. Its a custom built hybrid, but with some interesting perks. It can be charged from an electric vehicle charging station, so it is capable of being an entirely electric vehicle (50 miles or so). After that, it acts like a normal hybrid, running off of gasoline.
But to make a bit for bit copy, you'd need DVD pressing equipment. You can't burn a CSS DVD since the space with the movie keys is preburned on DVD-Rs.
Took about an hour to install off the DVD and activate via Steam. Its mainly a lot of HD thrasing to decrypt the datafiles, and a little network to fetch the executeable from Steam.
The 3ware controllers are nice. They are not the fastest by most measurements, but then you're getting very good I/O speeds with almost no CPU useage (vs. faster speeds with 60-70% CPU for "SHRAID").
I have 4 Seagate 160GB SATA drives on a 9500S-4LP. 130MB/s reads, 70-80MB/s writes, and redundancy.
A valid point. I'm trying to stick toward more dynamic lists so I mean reconsider SORBS. SpamCop accounts for 90% of my blocks, while SpamHaus picks up the other 9%.
I'm running Postfix with RBLs. Looking at SpamCop, SpamHaus, and SORBS. It auto rejects all e-mail coming from banned IPs. This brings me down to 1 spam a day. If your IP is blocked, tough, find a new ISP (these lists tend to be more self-expiring and not 'permament ban' types, which is good).
By a similar name is AllElectronics out of Van Nuys (CA). There is a $6 flat shipping fee, but they have a lot of good quality items. Like lead-acid gel-cell batteries for my UPS (saved about $80 doing it this way vs. through APC), tools, parts, gadgets, barcode scanners on the cheap ($8).
Not nessecerily, as production yields for DVD9 disks are already below single layer disks. It requires some more specialized machinery to combine the disk layers, and such machinery will probably need to be modified to work with recordable dye media.
All the films for MST3K were licensed to be shown on TV. Which is also why a lot of the DVDs are so late: its expensive or hard to relicense some of the movies for DVD release. Simply showing it and making fun of it isn't exactly paraody.

But, package mail is growing. Virtual is nice, but sometimes you have to have real.

Sure, $10/bottle with perscription AND INSURANCE. Its about $100ish/bottle without.

As I understand it, yes. There is no law, but to license various DVD related patents, this is one of the catches.
But to make a bit for bit copy, you'd need DVD pressing equipment. You can't burn a CSS DVD since the space with the movie keys is preburned on DVD-Rs.
You mean like, FreeDOS?
Which you would have with buying something, no?
Steam isn't crap. Its a very interesting concept in game distribution, which I personally rather like.
10s to 30s. Can be frustrating sometimes...
