Is Overclocking Over?

Yep, thats one reason.
Others are its simply too expensive to do the kind of overclock you'd of done 5 years ago, for the same increase in %. I guess chip creators are getting better at running the chips at their limit already, rather than shipping them lower than they "could" go, tho I don't have any stats to back this up.

Is Overclocking Over?
·
· Score: 4, Interesting
It used to mean windows would run faster, games would run faster, everything was FASTER MAN!!!!!111one.
But now overclocking for the at home folks is a case of hit a button in your bios, or in some cases a physical button on the motherboard, and it'll do some overclocking for you, automatically. As its become more automated, the news worthy stuff becomes more and more expensive to implement and show off, and so most things are less news worthy and so it appears "overclocking" happens less. In reality I'd expect it happens alot more, and maybe even when people aren't fully aware of what they are doing.
Also systems being so much faster now, generally provide the speed that users require of them, unless they are the kind of users to be pushing systems to overclock simply for the hell of it, like the guys who get in the news. However you don't see these guys then gaming and getting 200fps on these systems, or anything exciting like that anymore. Its simply overclocked, and shown it to be "stable" at said speed. No one ever goes "lets see how many FPS can we get outta this baby now!", its all become very much a concept thing rather than actually running systems at these speeds for any sensible amount of time.
Now imagine how many more would be sold if there was no failing systems.
Yes of course some of the sales figure comes out of the fact some failed and were replaced but everyone knows bad news has a larger effect than good news. So they'd still MASSIVELY gain sales if they didn't have the failures they did.
Man, if they pulled it off, I could imagine sony pulling outta the game now.
Deal with data and viewing it without reason are two different things.
Not only did you not read / understand the article, you didn't even understand the summary...
"A full 26 per cent of them admit to using their privileged log in rights to look at confidential information they should not have had access to in the first place. "
*SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD ACCESS TO*.
At least the Parent could read, you clearly can't. Maybe thats what gives IT such a bad name?
Seriously though - I've got plenty of chances. I could get so much infomation from some places that I could likely walk into a very confertable position else where, but I have no want to. This company treats me well, they gave me a job when no one else would, and I'm happy here.
To simply access it breaks data protection laws in the UK at least.
If you shouldn't be accessing it, you need to be wondering why your security measures don't STOP you accessing it, at least without leaving a nice trail of what you've been accessing.
Of course, real world, etc means I have my CTO phone me, give me his passwords for his personal files on the file server and tell me to read off various bits to him. In this case it was a harmless (unpassworded) document with a list of names on it, but this kind of thing happens in IT, and when they ask you "Why can't you access my files for me, your IT for goodness sake!" And you tell them its data protection... you either get a clap on the back, or a right going over...
Yey, another win for planning your process ahead of knowing where your process is going.
Without a script, how do they even know they don't want CGI. Maybe it'll happen not to need it - suddenly their "NO CGI!!!" isn't so meaningful anymore.
4.The servers appear to have been hacked by bruteforcing the root password. (We do not believe in the OpenSSH 4.3 0-day theory - that would be too scary!) 5.The attackers have a burning desire to update OpenSSH 4.3 to version 5 as soon as they get control of a hacked server.
Ah yes, lets pretend there is no problem because the idea that there is, is too scary. Someone kill me, please. The only other reason I can think of, which also ties in with the fact they were appently checking the man page for sshd_config is that something changes in the default settings between 4.8 and 5 and this they wanted desperately, but even then this would point to some sort of exploit. *(Maybe an exploit in the way the default settings are in centos, rather than in openssh).
If you think our security forces suck, go to Iran and try working in the British Embassy, when was the last time anyone did something like that here?:D
Last time i checked, the earthquake moves along fault lines, and teh most damaged buildings are the ones without support.... so unless this earthquake found a fault directly through the middle of the complex I don't think much would happen at all during an earth quake...
I think you've forgotton your reading this on slashdot, news for nerds.
I.E. its not anywhere else.
Check google news, search beheaded blogger. You get 360 sources.
Thats by directly searching for two terms that are likely to come up.... now behaeaded might appear often, but I'm doubtful many people search for news about bloggers unless something juicy has just come out of hollywood or whatever...
Until this is main headline news (which it won't be, as who cares about some bloggers?) then nothing will be noticed. However, to those saying "what can Anon do". I've just told you. They can get in the news. Rather easily it seems, and hell if they push hard enough maybe some rich geek might take notice and sdecide to get involved.

So you'd end up with the PC games market, which we all know is "booming" compared to Consoles.... oh, wait.
blu ray is SLOW.
Its slow slow slow.
So slow, this is the reason you need to install so many PS3 games. slow slow slow.
Please microsoft, don't go the "you must install or burn in hell" route.... or at least do it with a faster format than blu ray!.
Except most cannons are mounted on the side, not front of ships... which means your actually firing this as you take over / turn.... not from behind :)
While some people generally enjoy work, most don't
While some people don't enjoy games, most do.
This is why its a game, and not work :)

build a linux box.... maybe not x86 but arm due to power requirements but it'll teach you lots and that seems to be partly what you want....
If your not looking to learn / something _that_ customisable, fraid I can't help.

Vote this up for speaking sense. Seriously.

Well you can back them up using clonzilla however I've never used it that way before so I don't know exactly how you automate it....
but if you were to do that, you could then just write a bash script on the end which does the wipe with DD for you too. Job done :)
They send me and email, and it turns up on my phone!
TADA! Supprise!
It stops all those pesky logs and evidence of such things ;)

Boo fucking Hoo.
Let me put this in a way most people these days seem to understand.

Oh, suddenly thats ok, but microsoft as a company discussing destroying another company isn't?
Its not yours til you brought it.
You haven't brought it because you don't have root.
A win for a manufacturer who doesn't have yet another person hacking in their electrons!
One for distrobution of service, the other for devices connecting.
I.E. each "point" will have 2 AP's, one which consumers directly connect to, the other which just communicates with other AP's on the site....
Ah, you forget not everyone wants payments, and because you use the same tool someone conducting a illegal act does, it should therefore be outlawed?
I torrent masses of linux isos. Much love.
Popular people get paid more....
Something seems so right about this. I'm presuming tho it doesn't scale linearly?
