Yep, but regular SLI works well with x8 slots, and I had to switch to SLI setup (2*x8) on my computer because after watercooling the motherboard's chipset I realized that I couldn't put my graphic card into the top x16 slot anymore (me = toopid, next time i'll check that)
There are something like 3 parts to PCIe-speak on motherboards:
The number of lanes, which depends of the motherboard chips. That's the total PCIe bandwidth your motherbord can handle
The physical size of the PCIe slots. That tells you what you can fit in the slots. For example, graphic cards use x16 slots, but can hum along perfectly with only 8, 4, 2 or even 1 lane (albeit with a much reduced bandwidth to work with).
The number of lanes in every slot, which gives you the bandwidth per slot: all PCIe devices must support x1, but they can use up to x32
What they're saying here is that you're getting 2 x16 and 2 x8 lanes slots, but all the slots have a physical x16 size, which means that you can plug pretty much anything in it, including 4 PCIe graphic cards at once (since graphic cards require physical x16).
I'm not sure I've been perfectly clear though, anyway it's fairly clear when you talk about slot size versus number of lanes.
I've bound the Wikipedia search to the "wp" keyword in Firefox, ergo when I type "wp something", Firefox starts a wikipedia search for "something" (I've also bound Uncyclopedia to "up", but I use it slightly less often)
However, the IE rendering engine is provided as a library for other applications to use. Any other applications that have embedded browser controls depend on IE -- and as they should. Applications should not have to deal with HTML rendering on their own.
As such, a system reboot is neccesary as the rendering engine itself, exposed as a library, must be updated. Basically it just ensures nothing is using the browser control at the time of update.
Maybe because Firefox 1.5 RC3 was later renamed to Firefox 1.5.0.0 without any modification (hence that Firefox 2.0 RC3 has high chances to become 2.0.0.0)?
Plus every single IE7 RC made it to slashdot, no reason for the final Fx2.0 not to.
US elections are controlled at the local level, so unfortunately such a nationwide fix would not be workable here.
Why the hell wouldn't it be? Sure it would cost more and probably be harder to setup than in holland since there is more territory and a much higher population count, but not workable? We're talking democracy at stake here, I don't see much that you could want to "fix" more than the risk of losing your voice, of making your votes irrelevant and inexistant, or being cheated out of choosing your leaders and the way your country will behave in the future.
Of course, some people may be more interested in there being a high risk of electronic electoral fraud, if they're committing or benefiting from the fraud in the first place...
The guy just doesn't take in account the fact that heat pumps move calories from point A to point B.
Usually, when such people try to compute the "efficiency" of a heat pump", they take two things: the power draw from the electrical outlet (which is the energy loss), and the heat that comes in (the energy gain). This pretty much always yield an efficiency > 1 in good conditions (won't work in siberia for example), but the part missing is that the heat pumps don't generate heat from the electricity they draw, the electricity is used to draw heat from one point and bring it to another one, just like a freezer (which draws heat from inside and brings it outside).
And if you add that part to get the real, actual efficiency of your heat pump, then you get an efficiency far lower than 1.
Community server is above average for displaying code (compared to most blogging softwares who don't give you much more than "here's your
tag now leave us alone"), but it's a piece of crap for everything else. The default style is ugly, the comment system is annoying, and there is far too much javascript involved (even though since version 2 you can actually try to use it with javascript disabled, would've been a pipe dream with CS 1)
Actually, Tucows is not an US-based registrar (it's canadian).
Also, spamhaus already has spamhaus.co.uk, but it's explicitely said that it didn't want to domain-switch, because it'd be detrimental to the users of the existing lists.
If I understand things right, TUCOWS has not responded.
And Tucows being a canadian company, I'm not sure of the leverage an Illinois court could have over them to take down the domain of an english spamfighting organization.
IANAL but it reads like they will not shut down the domain entry unless the owner asks (is forced by a court) to have it shut down
No, what they say is:
The ICANN was not ordered anything (yet)
Even if they were ordered to shutdown a domain, they couldn't, it's the domain's registrar or the Internet Register's job to do this, and only them have the ability and authority to terminate a domain name.
They actually state that "no order has been issued in this matter requiring any action by ICANN". In a word, they were NOT ordered to take down spamhaus.org, they note that "a Proposed Order referencing ICANN has been submitted to the court" (which would mean that the proposed order hasn't been accepted by the court yet)
If Ted Stevens can teach me how to be sent an internets by my staff, I do believe that judges can say pretty much anything they want on any technology as long as they don't know jack about it.
Basically, ICANN says that they've not been ordered to act and suspend the spamhaus.org domain, and even if they had they couldn't do it "because ICANN does not have either the ability or the authority to do so".
They also state that ICANN is not party in the lawsuit and is not involved in it.
They end their posting by stating that only spamhaus.org's registrar or the Internet Registry have the ability and authority to suspend an individual domain name.
They close their posting by stating that this comment was made in response of the community's interest (in the ICANN's position on the matter).
It was indeed, Intel didn't have integrated ("true") dual-core (AMD-style) before the Core architecture. Pentium-D's two cores, for example, had to use the FSB to communicate with one another, they didn't have a specific, fase, core-to-core bus. In the end, they were no better than regular dual-core, except that you only needed a single socket.
NetBurst was a good architecture - the only problem with it was total heat, and hotspots inside the processor. This kept it from reaching its expected 10GHz
... and NetBurst was underperforming at the speeds it could reach. In a word, no, it wasn't a good architecture because it only worked well in FantasyDreamLand where heat dissipation doesn't exist.
Slashdot Mirror
Why would they when other people are already doing that
You'll still have to cater for IE6 or a loong time, especially since IE7 can't be installed on Windows 2000 or Windows XP SP1...
But, but... old news are sooo exciting

Yeah, code hotloading is for t00pids
There have been session-saving extensions for, like, years...

Yep, it's also available in 1.5 and I'm pretty sure it was in 1.0. It's just not doable in the menu itself.

Except that the operations used for folding are a subset of the operations performed for 3D graphics.
In a word, folding is a subset of 3D graphics processing and rendering, which does make the conclusion obvious.
Virtual Dimension works MUCH better than the powertoy in every aspect, it's much faster, much cleaner, and has more features.
Not that it matters anyway, as Canada still wasn't part of the USA last time I checked.

8 cores with 8 virtual threads per core (for a total of 64 threads/CPU) enough for you or not?
